Chasen Dreams

You all know that I was feeling low last week.      I blogged about it here .   One of the reasons I cited was I miss my family. Few hours after I posted my drama, I received a call from my mom telling me that they’re going to visit me here in Manila.   Wow! What was that?   Telekinetic power! Fyi, she’s not a reader of my blog.   She does not even know that I blog.     Well, I guess moms can read minds.

But this conversation made   me smile… Boss: okay na to Che (referring to the memo I drafted) Me: Wow! First time boss na walang red (been working as his staff for more than two years) Boss: Ha?
