Lucky me !

Actually, my day didn't start in a perfect manner. When I woke up there was no one who was online in my friends and family. There was also no new text message in my mobile. So I felt sad and kinda neglected. Then I came to work. Well, nothing unusual happened there, some people needed changing, some people were screaming etc... Then suddenly I remembered something, something important will happen today. Then it enetered my mind, IT WAS PAYDAY! My luck suddenly turned. When 2 o'clock came I left my work place and I got on a bus. When I got home, I tried opening the door, I tried and tried, but it never opened. There was no one home! So texted my landlord. Unfortunately, he was doing some shopping in the nearby market. So, I decided to go to the market to meet him and do a little shopping of my own. We wandered around the market streets for around 30 minutes. I wasn't really myself there, my mind was blank. I was just walking and walking, not really giving a damn about anything. Then suddenly, something got my attention. There was a certain shop which has a green can in the display window. It looked kinda familiar to me. So, I went inside the shop to have a better look. When I came inside, OMG, WTF!!!! It was LIGO! A certain brand of canned sardines in the Philippines. The shop that I went inside to was a Filipino store. I wandered around the halls of the shop with a big smile on my face. I was so happy to see Filipino products which I so dearly love. I bought 4 pieces of LUCKY ME PANCIT CANTON ! How lucky am I ? hehe. Being able to see this wonderful shop. Now I'll be able to cook all my favorite dishes. After some time, my landlord and I went home. When we got home I immediately went to my room and surfed the net. After a few minutes, my landlord came to my room and said that I should come with him. To my suprise, he brought me to a betting station. I spent an hour watching horses and hounds. After losing some bets, my landlord decided that it was time to go home. He said that we should buy a couple of beers to help us relax and unwind later, and that we did. When we got home, I again immediately headed to my room to surf the net. While I was patiently trying to find something interesting in the net, my lanlord came again and said that we will have a barbecue tonight. He said that he is doing this in order for us to be happy. Im so lucky ! hehe. So we ate and we drank. I had a pretty good time. While I was drinking, my phone kept on ringing. When I answered it, I had a pretty suprised look on my face. It was a Filipina who was calling me. Her name was Rose. She used to work for the care home where i'm currently working right now. She called me because she has a vacant room in her flat, and she wants to ask if I want to rent it. OMG! WTF!! God is really so good! Before I left my workplace, my flatmate and I had a little talk. He said that he will now be moving out and will be staying with his uncle in Stratford. Right now, I am currently paying 240 pounds per month for my room. Tita Rose was only asking 170 pounds per month, and ther is no deposit. Yeah boy ! In only a span of hours, I went from being alone and lonely, to being able to live with Filipinos.
