Collection, A Meeting, A Friend's Kindness

Today, I collected from a Client and immediately encashed the check.

I had to be in another marketing research agency by 10:30 am but I was early. So I observed an interview.

When the boss, who is also my friend, arrived we left for Hotel Intercon. We attended a meeting of the Philippine Marketing Association. The main speaker was Dr. Ned Roberto who spoke on "Are Your Most Loyal Customers the Most Profitable Ones?" The answer? Not necessarily.

We left right away after the talk. Anyway, we've already had our lunch of molo soup, salmon, vegetables, steamed rice, iced tea and coffee. I had two pieces of bread and butter.

Back to the office, I observed one more interview. I was supposed to conduct one myself. But since I barely had sleep the previous sleep, I was not up to it.

My friend, in her kindness gave some money and even told her driver to bring me home!

I feel so blessed!

Three Acts of Kindness

Today, I received three acts of kindness.

Rexy was supposed to visit but could not make it. Instead, she sent a bag full of mangosteen. Hmm, yummy!

Then, I had to go to my psychiatrist. My mom wasn't feeling well so I was supposed to go alone. Instead, I called up a few friends to accompany me. One friend, Rannie, was available up to a certain time. So she fetched me at 1:30 pm. My appointment was supposed to be at 2 pm but the doctor's secretary said that my psychiatrist would be late. Rannie stayed with me till about 4 pm but she had to leave because they have a family meeting and dinner.

My psychiatrist arrived at about 5 pm and I needed a ride home. So I texted five friends. Of the five friends, three could not make it but took time to respond. Two could make it but I said yes to one (Jobert) already so I just said thanks to Felix.

Jobert fetched me at about 6 pm. Then, we had dinner at the Japanese restaurant downstairs. He even paid for the bill. And brought me up to the 25th floor.

Ah, friends! I am sooooh blessed to have so many of them.

Which leads me to ask: Maybe I have been a good friend, too, after all!
