59: Fail, Win

FAIL

Alex and I were supposed to attend the Zumba class at Gold's Gym Galle at 5:30 this afternoon. I was waiting for her at Gloria Jean's. When she arrived a little after 5:30, the first thing that she told me was, "OMG may kasalanan ako sa'yo, Bea!" Apparently, she left her gym voucher in her car, and she left her car at school. So she left her things with me and went back to pick up the voucher.

Around 15 minutes later, my phone rang. It was Alex, and hilariously, she realized upon arriving at school that her car keys were in her bag, which she left with me at Galle! So to save time and energy, I went to school with our things. We then rode her car and went immediately to Galle so that we could still make it to the 6:30 class.

But the sequence of failures did not end there. There were no free parking spaces in the carpark, so we circled around the place in search for a potential parking space. We ended up at the exit part of the carpark, and there was no turning back because there was already a long line of cars waiting behind us and we had to space to back off or to U-turn. So we sped out the exit without paying nor returning the car ticket. We then went back to the carpark entrance, and the people there interrogated us on why we already had a ticket, how come we were allowed to go out without paying, which security guard led us out, etc etc. We caused a bit of a commotion, but then the carpark entrance teller thankfully freed us from shame and hassle and simply gave us a new car ticket.

We got to Gold's Gym a little before 7:00. We were excited to find out that there were 7:30 classes, and cool ones at that! The choices were yoga, street dance, and smoves (hiphop), the latter two of which we strongly preferred. We became ecstatic since despite the many blunders, finding out that we could still attend fun, heart-pumping classes was refreshing.

Then we realized that we were wrong. We found out that the 7:30 classes were for other days, and the classes available during Fridays were only until 6:30, so there was actually no way for us get a work-out today. So much for anticipation, really.

Alex and I simply ended up bonding at Cerealicious. It was a fun heart-to-heart talk--a necessary one, even. Although a lot of time and energy were not put to good use, at least I got to spend time with Alex and talk about all things girly and cheesy with her. Fun fun! :)

WIN

I finally have a part-time job! I got accepted for the Korean proofreading thing and training starts on Wednesday. YAHOOO!

After the disappointment last Thursday, this was a pump up to my self-efficacy. Thank you, Lord. I needed this.
