it’s not rainbows and sunshine always.

Highlight of the day:

Today wasn’t my day, once again. 

My day started by waking up early to prepare as we’ll go to Mirielle’s house to make a research product prototype. I was running because our shower wasn’t working properly. As soon as I was ready, I waited for tricycle to come by. There wasn’t any even after I waited for 10 minutes. I decided to walk abit farther but I got verbally harassed by random men along the path to where I usually ride tricycles. This is the second time that it happened this week.

A tricycle arrived and unfortunately, it broke down as we were on the way. I waited for 5 minutes before deciding to walk to 7/11. 

I was already having a bad day to start with then I was said that Stephen couldn’t come. I got sad because I expected to see him.

Elaine gave me a Fitbar Tiramisu! Precisely, whenever I’m sad, I’d crave for something sweet. 

So, thank you, Elaine! ❤

Taking shelter in 7/11, they were all already there. I felt guilty for making them wait. After resting for a few minutes, We rode a jeep to go to Mirielle's. 

All we did today was the extraction of Pandan Leaves. We were successful after a few trials. 

After the making of the product, we decided to go to Unisan to find a shampoo base for it. I jokingly said to Dolf and Richelle to tell Stephen to go too, though I know he just woke up. 

We went to Unisan and met up there with Stephen. Richelle and Dolf had to go since they have their own date. 

Having no choice, we bought a base shampoo that was a little different than we needed. It was getting late so we had to go home. 

Before going home, Stephen and I ate at McDonald's at Pagsanjan.

On the way home, I felt uncomfortable and disgusted with myself. I even felt nasty glances from a group of girls. They were whispering, too.

 I felt ridiculed this whole day.

End.
