I'm a genuinely nice person, and heck even i would want to be my friend.... until there comes a time and place where you test me; be my patience, my anger, or even my respect. Under some circumstances, I was tested. Not only was I mad and disappointed, and I prefer to not go into detail with this, but I was also amazed at the carelessness of some people's actions and how it could've been avoided had THEY not initiated it in the first place. I do not tolerate that, especially when i know for a fact they are smart enough to know better.
On the other hand, shifting all the little negativity I still have aside, my sister and I went to the newly built Walmart Supercenter to buy my cousin a gift for her soon to come baby girl. Walmart is so huge! There was even a subway in it. We looked around the baby aisle until someone came up to me saying, "Is that Mayette?". I turn around and said hi and everything to her. I felt hella bad because at the moment I fogot her name when she used to be in the academy along with me. It was only after I said bye I then remembered that her name was Kristen. I was surprised because she too also gave birth only a month ago to a beautiful baby boy. As we were looking at the cameras in the electronics section, i picked up a 9 megapixel Cannon camera when all of a sudden a guy comes close behind me saying, "Isn't that a beauty?" in tagalog. I turned around, recognizing the familiarity of the voice and it was Nikki's dad. I was suprised he still remembers me even after all these years. I miss Nikki and her family. We eventually bought a portable baby changer with a padded pillow and carrrying case for diapers and wipes, as well as onesies for my cousin and some hot cheetos and fudgebars for my sister and I. We headed to the car and tell me why there was this employee that hella just left a bunch of carts right in the middle of the street to gather other carts that were surrounding my car. I was so pissed, I couldn't even go around the carts because they were right smack dab in the middle. So I waited for his slow ass and he was really slow. When we got home, I gathered the two bags that were in the backseat and noticed that those two bags only contained the food we bought. Frustrated that the stupid cashier lady forgot to give us the bag with the gift we had in it, I drove back to Walmart. I went to the front desk of customer service asking for baby items that were all pink. Some young employee there was trying to joke around and outsmart me by saying "what color is it?". I was thinking, "Bitch, didn't i say pink?". The customer service employee's inability to fully listen to a customer and the cashier that forgot to hand me my bag full of purchases is pretty sad considering that they were just hired and already fucking up. Now that's some bad business.
Today is also the day of my tatay's (great grandpa) death anniversary. We went to Oakland to my grandma's apartment where all my other relatives were and ate there for an early dinner. It's nice to see my great-grandma since I don't see her all that often. I got home and worked out the day and my anger and frustration away. I don't think I've ever worked out this much.
