A month ago, I did this volunteering for my company's scholarship program together with a colleague. Unfortunately, we did not catch the check-in time for our flight to Cebu. The company service arrived in my home at about 3 AM, much to my surprise that our flight was to leave at 4:55 AM. Some form of miracle happened when we arrived at NAIA at about 4:20 AM. But sadly, Cebu-Pac already closed their system for checking in. They were too heartless to let us check-in, nor re-book for another day. Tragic, we had to pay 5,000 PhP for new tickets at Seair.
Tomorrow, I will be doing another volunteering for the scholarship program in Iloilo. I'm quite saddened that I won't be enjoying the benefit of a long weekend, or even just the usual late Friday nights. Additionally, I had to wake up earlier because the company service won't pick me up at my house. I somehow think that the person in-charge of logistics thought that picking me up in our secluded village may have resulted to our coming late that dreaded morning of the Cebu-Pac incident.
I'm sorry, this is starting to look more like a rage comic. I'm just... quite disappointed that it feels like the blame was being put on me indirectly. I do not want to come clean, I might have been at fault, too. I could have just stayed in the staff house the night before and it could have saved us about 30 minutes.
But what's done is done, what happened happened. Lessons were learned and sadly, the hard way.
Tonight I will be sleeping at 7pm to wake up at 12mn so I could be at the meeting place at 1:30AM just so we would never be late for the check-in of our 5AM flight. All good, better earlier than early.
I just often remind myself that volunteering is done not to improve my resume, but to improve myself. Thank you Angel Locsin, I read that from your Twitter.
