Drive Thru Surprise


Yesterday on my way home, I decided to grab a quick snack at Jollibee-Malhacan (Bulacan) Branch. Parking was full so I took the drive thru option. Service crew who took my order was so jolly (so Jollibee!) and after paying my order, she instructed me to proceed to the next window to get my order. She also handed me my receipt and a small piece of paper with a ribbon tied on it. Written on that paper was an inspiring quote from Doug Firebough stating "every day do something that will inch you closer to a better tomorrow."

Drive thru services offered by fast food companies are meant to target consumers who are always on the go. Drive thrus are for individuals who are always rushing their way to the office or those who are too tired to sit down in a dinner table with family or friends and prefer to eat inside their cars.

The small note that I got from this "drive thru experience" reminded me that no matter how busy our life is, we should learn to take things slowly. We should teach ourselves to appreciate all the good and beautiful things around us. We should not rush our lives, we should live it and not just drive thru it. We might be living in the fast lane, but we should always find time to do something that will inch us closer to a better tomorrow. This way, you will live a life with meaning.

Predicting the future. Is it a gift?

How I wish I have the gift of Nostradamus so that I can predict the future.  I want to know the future so that I can prepare myself and my loved ones in the uncertainties of this world, Like this Covid19 pandemic for instance, If I knew this would happen, I would have saved enough money, stocked more groceries, and bought all the medical supplies to survived me for a year.  Looking back at my life, there were so many failures and pains that I've been through, I wished I would have prevented it. If I knew I will be involved in a vehicle accident when I was six, I would have never left the house. If I knew that I will be involved in a painful relationship, I would have taken a different path. And If I knew that it was the last day of my dad on this earth, I would have spent more time with him before his last breath. If I knew the future, there will be no more what ifs.   However, if I knew what will happen in the future, what will be my present life wil...
