Whew!

Zyne had an accident early this morning on her way to work...she was speeding downhill and wasn't able to anticipate her turn so her car crashed with blocks of big rocks at the side of the road. She told me that the front part of the car was wrecked, almost ripped, the radiator broken, the oil leaking and her one tire flat and broken. I'm just glad that she went home okay though I told her to have herself checked just to be sure. She'd be commuting to work for the next few days; just to give her a break from driving 'til she's ready again.
Anyway, my day was thankfully great...Our partner Kailesh treated us to lunch today. We all had a fun chat about everything from the movie Eight Below to baseball and basketball in the Philippines. I had a helpful serving of chicken, rice (ofcourse) and fruit selections (grapes, apples, oranges, watermelon, etc.) and mango soda (if I can call it that). Really filling (since I only has two cookies for breakfast (shush) courtesy of my apartment's daily breakfast treats (they had coffee to-go which you can take with you but I'm slowing down on coffee right now; in fact I hadn't had one for about 10 days 'til this early AM). I finished early on what I had to do for the day, and Molly, my co-team member, even encouraged me to call it a day. But given my penchant for the OT hours at SGV, I stayed for almost an hour more doing some admin stuff.
Then I headed off to the transit station where the station agent, Victor (yeah I know him by name, haha) greeted me, "Good to see you"... California folks are really friendly, huh; he helped me out in getting through that BART ticket machine last week and even ran through my ticket for me (poor tourist, haha, deciphering the dime from the quarter). And I gained a friend. If only there are some nice station agents like him in Manila's MRT. Well...
The view of the Bay Bridge at Folsom street under the late afternoon sun is BEAUTIFUL...I wish I brought my camera. Maybe on a weekend, I'll take that picture.
At the end of it all, can't help but say, "Whew! Tomorrow is another day."
