A Lesson from Disappointment

The excitement we felt last night was clouded by the disappointment which welcomed us this morning. We were supposed to join the Dilaab Foundation's Fun Run scheduled 5am this morning. We prepared for the event. We bought the singlet, we jogged the night before to condition our bodies, we set our alarm clocks way ahead of the assembly time but then again, we failed to attend the run. 

Actually I was able to wake up at around 4am, so did the others but because it was so early we were complacent to extend a little of our sleep and surprisingly, to my dismay I woke up at 5:30 am. We were supposed to be at the venue by 5am because the run will start at 5:30 but here we are sleeping comfortably in our beds while the run already started. It was a disappointment indeed. And since it is a declared holiday, no office, no work, we slumbered till afternoon and literally did nothing at all.

We apologize for failing to attend the fun run. This would have been our first time since we were in Cebu but I guess our first time will come some other time. This is a good occasion for us to learn and realize to accept the reality that sometimes we miss what we have aspired, waited and prepared for, but instead of giving up we should learn to accept and embrace that fact. Let us not succumb to the problems confronting us in the present, instead use these problems to face the future.

Company outing tomorrow. I should wake up early. I cannot afford to miss this one.hehehe...gudnyt
