So after getting my Admin law readings, I went home. Oh not yet! I detoured to KFC to buy some lunch. I was about to order their Wow steak meal when I remember Chip saying that KFC's hot and Crispy chicken is really spicy compared to Jollibee's spicy chicken. I am always in search of spicy food. haha Well, Jollibee uses chili powder to make its chicken taste spicy but that would also mean that it only covers the skin that's why when I ordered there before, I had to ask for extra chili powder. haha Oh well, that's another story.
After KFC, I went home, ate my take out while surfing the net with my readings still untouched on the side. During the course of the afternoon, I read and surfed the net alternately and that's when I received an SMS message from the manager of DQ Eastwood telling me that I really left my wallet there. I called them earlier today to check if I did. I was sooo thankful! When I couldn't find it yesterday, I was about to give up any hope as to the honesty of my fellow Filipinos but now I realized I was wrong. So I hurriedly changed my clothes, went to Landbank to withdraw some money then went straight to Eastwood. But that was after waiting for 20 minutes for a cab in that oh-so-awful-oh-so-wet weather outside.
When I finally got there, I had to wait for a few minutes because there were a lot of customers. That actually made me wonder as to the number of people when it is raining cats and dogs outside. Hmmm. That would be a good topic to study. When the rain subsided a bit so did the number of customers and that's when I finally got my readings! :)
On my way home, the taxi driver was telling me about the fire in Ortigas which is causing traffic there now. He said it's near Tektite Bldg. Then silence fell until we reached Katipunan extension flyover. Traffic was terrible but that's a common happening during rush hour and that was when the driver started talking again, now, about the taxi company he belongs to. But I was thankful he did because I found out that there is a taxi company in the Philippines which gives retirement benefits to their drivers plus SSS, Philhealth and Pag-ibig. If I got it right, the company is called TAI Taxi Company. TAI stands for Toyota Alabang Incorporated because the owner of the taxi company also owns Toyota Alabang. I salute whoever he is for his fair compensation and just benefits to his employees. :D
