Errand day

Yesterday, I went to the Statistics Office to get some documents. I was supposed to start early, but I woke up late. I was also concerned about who would look after my daughter when I go out. Luckily, my sister was able to watch over my daughter while I was away.

I walked from our house to the Statistics Office. Google Maps said it would take me 30 minutes to an hour, though it only took me 20 minutes. I enjoy walking, even during my college days, so this was a treat for me.

My expectation upon arriving at my destination was a long queue since I arrived late. Learning from experience, I already psyched myself that the whole process will take time. I brought water, food, and a book for me to read, and importantly kept a cool head. It paid off as I eventually got my documents stress-free despite the two-hour and a half processing.

I then rode two train lines and went to the bank to consolidate my bank accounts. It was also a long wait as there was also a queue in the Customer Service Desk. When it was already my turn, I had to sign many papers.

Eventually, I got it all done and ended my errands with Cello's donuts and brewed coffee. My sister and I shared the donuts. It was my way of thanking her for watching over my daughter while I was out. We reminisced about our "Katipunan days" because of the donuts. But most of all, we had a realization - this is another entry for the future.
