So today should have been any ordinary Monday

I woke up at 5 am trying to shake off the last traces of sleepiness and ready myself for the week ahead. Earphones in place, I hear anticipation over Lady Gaga’s concert right across my work place. Before I got out of the car, I asked my dad if he can pick me up. Long shot, but I was worried about transportation after work. I was worrying about the concert aftermath. I never thought I would be worrying about another thing right when I stepped into the elevator. 
It stopped. 

I was trying to play it cool for the first ten minutes, but it was worse than overstaying in a sauna. I was soaking wet from sweat. Uh oh, not a good sign. I’m one of the worst kind of cases to deal with when dehydrated. My hanky, my uniform, my pants were all a disaster. My insides? My heart was struggling. This is by no means an exaggeration. I could feel how my heart was having a hard time pumping blood a.k.a helping get oxygen into my blood stream because there was no air, NADA, inside.

With my heart being in that state, I found myself thinking about another thing. They had to manually pull the elevator to get us out, so I am very thankful that the guys who were pulling us were strong enough because.. well, they were strong enough to not let us drop. 

I’ve been stuck in the elevator a couple of times, but by far, this was the one that caused me great anxiety. I was thinking about the work I haven’t started, my heart exerting so much effort and the whole situation of the elevator. 

Got in the clinic to get checked. I normally have a slow pulse rate. I’m a 48. The first record then showed 60, so it’s proof then how worked up my heart is after all. I was light headed, felt like floating and I found it difficult to breathe. 

Then I met with the oxygen tank for the first time in my life. 
I’ve never been more thankful when I was given what I needed from the equipment. 

While I was having a date with the tank, I thought about the things that I wanted to do in my life. That quiet moment just mellowed me down. I was assessing my heart beat and general condition, but I was also thinking about things in life that I’ve always put aside. I think.. I want to do whatever I can do. 


Through this incident, I discovered the true colors of most people. I can never forget the meanest person in the world. I think it’s safe to say, that this is the last straw. I never thought someone existed like the villains in cartoons, but I found that person. I’ll pray for you wicked one.

I found bosses I can always look up to, colleagues I’ve had a bad first impression and guiltily misjudged, friends who really are my friendsstrangers who I now, share a deeper bond. 

I’m still having a hard time breathing, but I was able to find shelter on my comfortable bed and family, including the dog. hehe

This is the kind of breath-taking I would never want a repeat of, but it also feels like it was one of the most important wake-up calls in my life.
Thank you Lord for making me Mrs. Captain America, thus my power to breathe in times of trouble. hehe 

There’s no better way to say it. I found my new self through the oxygen tank.

I didn’t believe in “Dreams do come true” because I have a lot of things I dream of having but then she changed everything.

I was just an ordinary person. Just a fan content with just watching them play. I was in grade five when I told myself, “Gusto ko din mag-aral sa La Salle… Para legal akong…

I think I teared up dear. :’) I just came home from work, tired and thinking of so many things. 

Make your parents proud okay! Make yourself proud! :) Study hard and get that college degree. You’re in a very good school, and I know you’re a responsible woman. You know I’ll always look out for you. :)
