| Along Milbrook Rd |
I've really made plans for today. I made my birthday hidden in FB so my flatmates won't be bothered to make any fuss. I was up by 6am, as usual and got ready for the 9am mass. The church was only a 10minute walk so there was plenty of time. I called and left a message at BNZ, hoping to get a call back. I put my phone on mute and then headed off to church. It was only 9:30am when we finished and my bus was scheduled to arrive at 10:20am. What to do with all this spare time? So I bid adieu to Holy Cross church and took a stroll to the bus stop at Railside Rd. Midway during the walk, my phone rang. It was a recruiter, and she seemed really interested in my skills and can already think about possible opportunities for me. We talked and then scheduled for a meeting on Monday morning. All that chit chatting happened along the windy View Road. I felt elated since she sounded really positive, giving me hope for the next few days at least.
It was 10am when I reached the bus stop. Hubby messaged me and it was my first birthday greeting for the day. I was contemplating on proceeding to New Lynn where I am to walk in to present myself for the Library Shelver role. Today might not be a good idea as who knows what Monday will bring.
So I'll have the meeting with Lynn in the morning, and then with Lulette in the afternoon. For sure at least one of them should be able to find me something. I always thought that some good news will come to me today. And the call was indeed something positive compared with how things have been for me the past few weeks.
So walking back, I've decided to make a turn to Millbrook Rd. It was literally along a brook, which i think is part of Oratia streams. It was a lovely walk, the sun was bright and it was just cool enough, not biting like the previous days. I took my time and tried to remember the things that I was seeing. The stream was clean, the trees along this road are big, and old. The houses on the left side of the road are tucked away, up in steep driveways nestled along rows of trees and bushes. And for the first time, I actually took off my jacket!
I was excited to get home and read Lynn's email, which I did. Then I got two more mails from fellow Pinoys about job opportunities within their companies. I've sent them my applications right away. When I realized that it was already lunch time, I was able to scour some leftover mussels and rice from last night's dinner. Burp! It's a good way to start the day.
