My day: What goes along, comes along.

Like normal days, whatever comes along, we come to deal with it. All of us have our own routine that we do every day. Kids who have not gone to school yet, have their day cycle. Students and teachers have their own too. Even our parents have it. Workers, travelers, bloggers, managers, bosses and even the out of school youth have their somehow meaningful day and sometimes a messed up one. It all depends on how you will manage to stay firm and on the go for the next day.
Lemme share how my day goes.
1. The devotional. Actually, I am not that religious-type of individual but since we've been raised as a God-fearing, the devotional is one of my routines every morning. I live with my mother and father, that is why, I am still into morning worship that we have grew up doing with since then. At 5:30 onwards, my parents will start singing praises. I am obliged to join them since my bed is in the living area. Sad to say. When I was teenagers, I could skip the morning devotional if I sleep in the bedroom. They'll not bother waking you up on that case. But today, it is a part of my every day living.
2. The Preparation. After the devotional and when I got to hug, kiss and "bless" my parents. Time to take a bath. Well, not exactly. I still have a couple of minutes to roll over and hide the half of my body with the blanket and close my eyes again. But it's a choice between that and handing the phone and take my social media morning posts and scroll. Either the two. To an exemption, there are days that I don't feel well because of the night's hangover. Because of that, I choose to extend the "couple of minutes" to "hours." Then, after that, I take a bath, change my clothes and ready to eat my breakfast and I'm on the go.
3. The Ride. When I finished everything with my all-over transformation, I have my dad to take me to the wharf via motorcycle. Amm... Yes, wharf. Because my workplace and my hometown are separated with a body of water. I live in Samal and I work in Davao. That's a two-ride cycle everyday. Plus the two-ride to complete the back-and-forth. All in all, I have a four-ride every day cycle. And when I got to the wharf, it's time to take a ride on the barge. When the barge ducked at the other side, I'll walk a distance to finally arrive at the waiting area to ride on a jeepney going to the office where I work. Yes, on that note, I usually come on time and even earlier, depending on the road situations. That is 9:15 including the 15-minute mercy period. If there is a slight traffic, then that causes a delay to my logging in the office.
4. The work. Okay, let's start with thumbing. The biometrics that is. I usually don't start the office works right ahead. I still get the chance to chat with workmates, play clash of clans, watch vlogs on youtube and even take a puff before anything else. I am a data encoder. I work in a real estate company and I encode payments. I make contracts to sell, deeds of sale and other forms of documents regarding the state of the company. I also manage the company e-mail to DM the clients with regards to their concerns and reply to subjects in which answers are needed right away. I also make billing statements and letters of cancellation to the clients who are inattentively attending to their monthly obligations. That's how my whole day works. When the clock ticks to five in the afternoon, it's time to spread wings and fly back home. I ride the reverse way to the mention vehicle rides above to reach home. Of course, that's pretty apparent.
5. The Relaxation. When I arrived home, I kiss my parents, relax for awhile and then change clothes. That's a day, therefore, an early supper will do. I take supper of course with my parents. After taking supper, I sit for awhile, watch television and chat with my parents. Afterwards, we do our evening devotional. I exit the house after and spend the night with friends outside. The night depends on how the nocturnal individuals spend it. It's not as constant as it is. The usual is just chatting and around ten o'clock, I go home, brush my teeth, go to bed, scroll the social media and finally close my eyes to slumber. And tomorrow is another day.
Your day defines you. Your way of handling your day even tell something about you. Whatever comes along that would impede the scenario of your day, manage it with all your might and be strong. And yes, I am Allan Earl Laureta and that's my day. Not the messenger my day but literally my day.
