Day Off

Work was not an option yesterday. I awoke at 5:00 am and I knew I can't go to work. Started texting my best friends to meet up. One works at the call center and her shift ends at 7:00 am so we set a breakfast date. Another one just gave birth and I traveled all the way to Cavite. It's like Ferris Bueller's Day off. It's smiling inwardly at people rushing to their offices. It's speeding away in EDSA at 1,000 kph a second on a bus. It's getting lost at a once familiar route.

It's talking nonstop. Laughter at every line. Reminiscing. Loving the bond that we have for decades of being together. It's putting a baby to sleep and smelling her newborn scent. The leave day was truly worth it.
