I Had All The Rotten Luck

This was a very frustrating morning for me. On my way home, I was doing the "wish I had..." game. Thinking and rethinking, telling myself, "I wish I had done this..." or "I wish I had done that..." And by the end of everything, I realized I had no one to blame for this but myself.

I was doing errands for my older brother. I had gone back and forth from one end of the MRT Station to the other. But in the end, I hadn't done anything because I was missing some stuff. Now, I have to go back tomorrow. Sigh...and the cycle will begin again.

So, on my way back I had been going through the whole experience in my mind. Going back and forth playing the game, just to get the frustration of waking up early to go to one place then go all the way to the other side of a train track ending with me not being able to finish what I was suppose to do for the day.

So, here were some of the thoughts that ran through my head while I was trying to get rid of this frustrating day.

I wish I had...

- asked a lot more questions to the lady in the registrar's window so that I didn't go through this wild goose chase to begin with.

- listened to my sister when she told me the school sponsors the authentication so that I didn't go all the way to CHED today to be told the same thing my sister said.

- the foresight to have brought my brother's transcript of records even when he said that he didn't need it so I wouldn't have to go back tomorrow.

- double checked CHED's website before I left for the place.

- not eaten a heavy breakfast before I left for UP.

- stopped by a bookstore to check if the paperback version of Artemis Fowl is already out.

- charged my iPod before I left the house today.

Well, the list goes on and on although I couldn't remember most of them since I've calmed down. And after thinking and re-thinking everything, like I said, I'd realized that the only person I could blame in all this is myself. The what ifs joined with the I wish I hads had been going around in my mind and in the end, I can't do anything else but move forward. Mistakes were made and we learn from those mistakes. And move forward.

Ah...now I feel so much better. :)
