the freakin field trip

i previously mentioned that we're gonna have a field trip right? well, im expecting an exciting "fun day" that day but guess what happened? because of a li'l mistake my professor made about the location, everything went crazy. tangina..
okay, we had the usual boring class in the morning. and then after that we had a fast lunch in jollibee(yea yea, i know, yuck right? but hey-their chicken is great!) haha, well we have no choice: we were broke and we were late. after that we bargained for an FX to agree for a payment of 200 bucks dalhin nia lang kame sa makati(and abonado pa ko).. anyways we got there in one piece. waited a few minutes for our prof to arrive(she said to wait a little bec she was still having her lunch) then we waited still.. hanggang ubos na pasensya.. we called her up.. she said she was already at the main entranc of MC home Depot, we also said that we are in the entrance as well. she said she's in mc home depot pasong tamo. we said we're in mc home depot in the fort makati. nalintikan na..
what happened next? dont ask. we just waited for a cab for like, 10 years? nakngputah. talk about giving the "right directions".. leche.. pero im glad we finally got into our destination. but too bad our so-called field trip lasted for only an hour.. sayang..
ayways: lessons learned? BE SPECIFIC IN GIVING DIRECTIONS, never wear a black outfit when its freaking hot outside and never, ever expect to hear a simple "thank you" from your friends even though u paid 20% of the cab fair---because it will only break your heart. nice persons easily get hurt by simple things, and i guess i was hurt by that simple incident. believe me. im not expecting them to pay tribute to me or treat me as a god because i paid a big amount in the sharing, but man, it was pretty sad not hearing a simple thank-you. and maybe if i told them na "oi la manlang thanks?", i know what will be their initial reaction: that im mukang pera. so wag na lang. anyways ganito yata sa pinas. gamitan lang. when will i learn?
