A Very Busy Day; Learning to balance personal life and work.

Hi everyone! I hope that everyone is doing well. I'll be sharing "my day" not today but yesterday. It was a very busy day, and I didn’t have time to post it since I was tired. So here it goes! I hope that you will take time to read my story.

I had to accompany my sister to her annual physical and medical check-up as a requirement for her job. She forced me to go with her, since I am spending all my time preparing for my class, she wants me to relax without spending too much money because I keep insisting to her that I don’t have money. That's sound funny but true.

Kaiser Medical Clinic at SM City Cebu

At almost 10:00 a.m., we arrived at SM City Cebu and went directly to Kaiser Medical Clinic. While waiting with my sister and her colleagues, I glanced at the X-ray room. It brought back memories of my trauma in 2022, when I had many X-rays for my injured feet. An unexplainable feeling, a happy one, filled my heart that thankfully, I'm here; I'm healed.

Making the most of our time together

After her appointment, we decided to go to the Lapu-Lapu City Public Market. We could buy affordable fruits and vegetables here but the incredibly cheap and tasty street food like “ballot”,”kwek-kwek”, “isaw,” and drinks caught our attention

Balot - A fertilized duck egg boiled and eaten in the shell.

Kwek Kwek- A deep-fried egg coated in a bright orange batter made with food color.

Isaw - Grilled chicken intestines, often skewered and served with a variety of dipping sauces.

We continued strolling through the market until we decided to check out a thrift store. Since we don’t have more cash, we first withdrew money from a GCash outlet. We planned to buy what we need on our way home so we could explore without carrying many bags. However, we got so caught up choosing clothes at the thrift store that we forgot all about it. But it’s okay as long as we enjoy our day.

I got home, grabbed a doughnut to hold me over until dinner (since I have class later), while my sister busy preparing for it. After this long tiring day, I've realized I need to better balance my personal life and work. I was so engrossed in preparing my ESL classes that I didn't allow myself time for happiness and simple joys. I was amazed that I did it, working smarter not harder.

I am very thankful for this wonderful day I had.

Anyways, thank you so much for reading.

Love; Thata
