Tiring Weekend

Last weekend could had been my tiring weekend. It started on Thursday where I had to wake up early to report at work early. The idea why I needed to report early is at least I could go early than my usual time to give more time to the rest of my appointments. Unfortunately, my boss did not report for work so I have to extend my stay until 1:30 in the afternoon. At exactly 1:30pm I left the office and headed to Riyadh International School where some of my students in Networking are waiting for practice. They needed practice to prepare them for the competition on networking. It lasted for 6 hours.

At around 7:00 I received a call from Pocholo saying that we were invited by a friend on a birthday party. Although at 9:00 we are already scheduled to go to Ranco for a meeting with RAGI officers. But it seems that the person who invited us is requiring our presence so we agreed to just drop by. We agreed to meet at 8:00pm at our villa and together we will go to the party venue.

Comes 7:30pm I headed home. Still thinking of someone's request. I took my mobile who is being charge that time and call a friend. He said he'd been calling me since he got my message but unable to connect. My battery was drained. I asked him if I could get partial of what I requested. Without hesitation he said yes and get it now because he's leaving. So I rushed to his place and took what I asked for.

When I got back home I took my mobile again to call someone. He was awakened by my ring but I can feel the excitement engulfed him upon hearing my voice. I told him to get ready we will be heading to Batha as requested. We left our place past 8. At Batha he received a call from unregistered number. Quite hesitant to answer but still managed to get the call. Surprising it was Pocholo again asking if I am with him. I did not bring my mobile because it is still charging.

I took the phone from him and talked to Pocholo. His voice was kinda upset as he thinks that I forget what we have agreed. I told him just gave us 30 minutes to finish our business. Immediately after we finished our business we rushed home. We were at the cab at 9:02 and reached home at 9:10. Unluckily they just left couple of minutes when we arrived. I just brushed my teeth and rushed to follow them.

To my surprised the party was on another location. We were not informed about it but I have no choice but to follow. It was like we were touring Riyadh that day. What annoying most was the traffic particularly in Tahaliah area. It was as if we were rushing to the time. It was already 10:30. Finally we got to the place and it was Pocholo who fetched off the road infront of the building.

Good that our friends had their dinner finished and they were just enjoying the company of the celebrator and his guests. We had dinner, a little chat and sang some songs and asked permission to leave since we still have other commitment to attend to. It was already past 11pm. Before we took a cab I phoned mader Rose to ask for her location. Quite a good news since they were still on their way to the meeting place.

We arrived in Ranco at quarter before 12. Just in time for the meeting since the members were just starting to arrive. You know Filipino time. The meeting went smoothly while spaghetti and cakes as in lots of cakes were offered. Off course sadique was also served. It is up to you whether you want to drink or not. It was like there is a distillery of sadique somewhere near the place. They offered countless bottles :) But I prepared not to drink. Incidentally it was also Tess' birthday.

We wrapped up the day and leave the place at past 2am. We asked permission to leave early as I still have other commitment the following day. Again it was a whole day affair which I was not able to finished because I was already exhausted.
