You made the difference

My typical day: 

Wake up. Take a bath. Dry my hair. Put on my clothes. Drink coffee while checking my e-mails, Facebook, text messages, Instagram, WhatsApp messages and Snapchat. (If I have time write or update my blog). Brush my teeth. Put on my shoes. Go out of the house. Walk towards the train station. Listen to music. Arrives at work. Clock in. Briefing at work. Then start my work day. Clock out at the end of the day. Go home. Sometimes kids and husband at home sometimes they're not yet home. Dinner.

On my special day: 

Wake up. Take a bath. Put on a dress. Drink coffee while checking my e-mails, Facebook, text messages, Instagram, WhatsApp messages and Snapchat (If I have time write or update my blog). Saw my Mom's birthday greetings on Facebook followed by well wishers: acquaintances, friends, relatives and loved ones. Read and reply to all Facebook, private messages, text and WhatsApp messages. Brush my teeth. Put on my shoes. Went out of the house. Opened my umbrella. Walk towards the train station under the rain. Felt the gentle breeze on my face and on my hair. Loving the rain even more. Listen to music. Posted something on Instagram then a sudden call from someone special who can't see and greet me in the morning because he was at work last night (let us hide him in the name of Vincent). Had a few laughs with him on the phone and throw away some "love you's and miss you's" here and there and he sang a birthday song at that. Arrives at work. Clock in. Briefing at work. Then at the end of our briefing my friends and colleagues sang a birthday song for me. They give me hugs and kisses. Then start my work day. Clock out at the end of the day. Go home. Husband and kids greeted me with hugs and kisses. Had dinner.

Comparing the two, there is no much difference. But I love the "difference" anyway no matter how small or big it is. This difference made it even more special even if it looks like any ordinary day. And all of you, made that difference. 

Thank you for remembering. I am full because of your presence and greetings and most specially your given blessings. I couldn't ask for more.

CM Party

Once a year my company is throwing out a party for it's employees. It's from 5 pm to 2 am. With free food and drinks including alcohol (with 0.0% alcohol content). A concert  or a disco what ever the organizers planned. The main point is for the employees to have fun, relax and dance the night away.

On my 10 years service, I only went there thrice. The first one was brief. Few minutes, had ice cream and left. The one that accompanied me at that time is not really into it. And I, the-can't-go-there-by-myself-girl wanted to stay but since I'll be alone, I decided to leave with my companion.

The second one, was longer. I was with a group this time. And certain people in this group loves to hang out, eat, chat, listen to music and dance. But since I have kids, I can't stay longer than them. So after eating and having long chats I went home.

And the third time was yesterday. And this time I don't need to worry about the kids for my husband is at home. It was like my first time going to the Cast Member Party.  I ate, chatted, listened to music and even stayed for the concert. But one thing I realized that even I was feeling happy with what is going on, if your companion is a drag, there's no use having fun. 

But nevertheless, at least I experienced and took advantage of what my company offers.
