A PLEASANT SURPRISE

I have always hated computers and they always seem to hate me more. For a number of times already, I would use one and somehow end up screwing the whole system. And it happened again today. As I was just about to start researching about one of the companies I am applying to, the computer suddenly (I don't remember pushing any buttons that might have triggered such) decided to restart. After that, it went blank. I wanted to keep my cool and tried out another computer in the house. No luck--why was I not surprised?

I decided I had to go to one of those internet cafes to finish my sort of assignment which is due tomorrrow morning. I asked my brother if he could bring me there but he just HAD to watch a basketball game and won't be able to do so. I asked my dad but he won't be home until late. I can't drive as well because my dad took the only car I am allowed to drive. I asked my sister if she could pick me up and was told that her meeting starts in an hour, which actually gives her enough time to pick me up and go to her meeting, but she apparently CAN'T. I didn't really want to ask other people if I could use their computers because I know I will take a really long time. So the next option was to take the nearest transportation available which will be able to take me an internet cafe.

I opted for the LRT Line 2, which could take me to Katipunan, where you can find internet shops. I walked for about 5 minutes from my house to reach the line, all the while grumbling about sun damage and the pollution. After buying my ticket, I climbed the stairs to the platform. I didn't wait long for the train to come and was inside a car in no time. Once inside, I looked for a seat, which was no longer available. As I decided to just stand beside a post, a guy stands up and offers his seat (chivalry does still exist!). Taken aback, I don't think I was able to thank the person properly. But I know this, that's good karma for you, whoever you are.
