This afternoon a friend of mine message me if I am free this afternoon since she wants to go on a hiring job in Pateros. Luckily, I have no afternoon class that's why I agreed to accompany her. I know that she had no fare for the transportation that's why she wants me to accompany her. Since we aren't familiar with the location we searched on google maps for the place we are looking for and I was surprised how far that place is.

I can't believe how far Pateros is, it will take 2 hours 2 walk and 15 minutes in a vehicle if there's no traffic, we are prepared to go now but suddenly she changed her mind since it isn't a suitable job for her since it's more on selling a product then own a commission. She said that we are not going until someone is calling on her phone since she charged it on our house.
I'm the one who answered the phone and I was surprised when the women speak about the application of my friend, of course, I replied in English also, she said that a friend of mine had an interview at 3 PM. I said that I will tell it all on her. Of course, when my friend knew it she was so excited. We resume our plan to go to the job interview gladly she knew the place that's why we won't get lost.
We waited for passing jeepneys until a minibus stopped in front of us and its destination is in Guadalupe. We hopped on then we didn't expect that the conductor will let us down far from our destination that's why we walk a few meters until we reached the place where she will get interviewed.
I waited outside, but I forgot to take some photos since I am busy listening to my favorite song. The place is newly opened and looked like a restaurant, then the interviewee calls me to go inside since it was hot outside. However, my friend can't focus on what she will say that's why I went outside again. I waited until the interview finished, I'm busy watching reels on Facebook when suddenly she call my name and the interview is already finished.
I saw her very happy that's why I asked what happen then she told me she passed the interview and she had work already. I'm glad that she got a job already since she is considered the breadwinner of the family. However, she had lots of things to attend to like other documents, her black polo and leggings, and another medical test to get a health card.
We plan to celebrate however we don't have money, she wants to visit their Kuya Neg which is also near her job place. We went to Kuya's house and then found there her younger brother. We had small talks but lots of waiting, we keep waiting for Kuya Neg since she wants to ask for money. It was already 6 in the evening when Kuya got home, I feel so bored and upset at that time cause it was already twilight yet I'm not home to cook food. I knew that my Kuya isn't moving since he only loves to sing in his karaoke though he had an unusual voice.
Just kidding, my Kuya came from work in our neighborhood that's why he can't wash his hands to avoid spasms. Also, her boyfriend is there since her boyfriend is also in training as a hotel staff. I was there sitting with so much boredom and wanted to go home. But in fairness, Makati is so organized and clean, that I rarely see squatters' areas and usually, there are lots of apartments around.
Finally, they decide to go home but it's already 6:30, I am just there listening to music to calm myself. Every time I feel stressed or want to daydream, I always play some music on my earphone and then start singing that music on my mind, it's a good way to kill boredom.
I am aiming to capture the night yet these two are obstructing the view, sheesh I look like a third wheel, well literally I am the third wheel, I feel annoyed by their sweetness. I distance myself from them so that people won't notice I'm with them. I am still wearing an earphone with music and walk at their back. These two keep asking me if I'm okay and saying words but I can't hear them since my music is loud and I just responded to them with a nod though I understand what they are talking haha.
We reached the highway and wait for a jeepney, I feel exhausted and dehydrated, for almost 2 hours I didn't talk since I'm so thirsty and hungry. When we finally reached housing Taguig, we walked a distance to a footbridge but I didn't follow them, I continue walking until I notice that lots of people are looking above, then there was a guy who will jump. Lots of people are holding him but when I came back there since I need to buy our viand, I saw a lot of barangay police, surrounding a guy in a stretcher while people are trying to wake him up. I think he jumped off the bridge and died.
That's all for my Wednesday walk, though it's not that fun yet I feel happy to see new places, I didn't know that it was near BGC where I was hanging out every time I jog, I am familiar with the place since my end spot was always on Kalayaan Avenue before going back to heritage Park.
