i am thoroughly, utterly pissed with our helpers. they left me here at home without my knowledge.
***after a while***
they're back. turns out they went out to buy something. because i was really annoyed for them leaving me here, i raised my voice a little when i inquired where they went, then told them they should have told me they're going somewhere. they didn't answer me, probably because they were too stunned to speak because i've never scolded them before. i don't even ask them to do things for me.
but actually it's all stupid. i just got really annoyed because some people from our next door neighbor, which is my alma mater Hope Christian School, wanted to buy coffee from our store. ever since i was a child, i never got to be really involved in our store for unexplainable reasons. naturally, i called out to our helpers to let them know there are customers waiting to be served. i searched the whole house and even went outside to look for them, but they're nowhere to be found. so i faced the people in our store (which i don't usually do) and helplessly told them i don't know where the helpers are AND i don't know how to make coffee. (of course i know how to make coffee for myself, but i don't know how it is in our store.) a loser way of reacting to the given situation right? i know what i was doing at that moment is really stupid, because what if those people are members of akyat-bahay gang, then i let down my guard and made it very easy for them to attack me because they know i'm alone in the house. so anyway, the people went away but luckily returned later for their caffeine fix.
i realized i should have reacted more positively. i could have attempted to serve those people while explaining the situation to them in a more courteous manner rather than giving them a long face that made them go away. i could have just offered a smile to make up for the weird-tasting coffee i could have given them. i could have grabbed the opportunity to practice being dependable even when left alone. and a lot more should have's and could have's.
