I don't know how it happened. I was about to be late, and I mean really late for an appointment with the Department of Health (DOH) in Mandaluyong. I was supposed to be there before 9 am---but it was already 8.00 am when I left from Munoz Market in Quezon City.
So, under ordinary circumstances, I should've been late. Travel that far in the morning when it's rush hour under heavy traffic is often the pits.
But I kept praying to the Lord. And then I relaxed and slept.
When I got off at Star Mall, I was in a hurry. But then I felt nature's call so I had to look for a restroom that was open that early. Malls usually opened at 10 am. Fortunately, the one in McDonald's was open but there was a line. I had to wait for my turn.
Then I saw a wall clock. I got nervous about knowing what time it already was, but I looked anyway. My guess was that, it was already 9:15 or so.
To my shock, I saw it was only 8:45 am! A 45-minute travel from Munoz to Star Mall in the morning rush? Impossible. At least it often took 2 hours. But there it was!
I had 15 minutes more to relieve myself, take a jeep, take a tricycle from Acacia Lane and walk to the office of the DOH architect.
I reached DOH at 8:50 am. I was even 10 minutes early! Praise God!
