Waiting for the Ax to Fall

If I will list down the most difficult things in life, the top three will definitely be - waiting, waiting for something uncertain, and waiting for the ax to fall. I know, I know, it's all waiting. Well, I'm an impatient person and I'd rather be taken by surprise than wait for something, or someone.



I drove for my sister and my mom earlier. First to the travel agency which will help my sister process her papers in order to go be with her new hubby. She had been waiting for five months now, and she will have to wait just a little bit longer. If it were me, I'll be whining everyday till God wouldn't know what to do with me. She probably is, and He's probably helping already.



Then, we went to Makati of course, for my mom to take care of her own business. My sister and I proceed to Glorietta, where else? And after we had lunch, and my mom joined us, we watched 'The Terminal'.



And it's a very good movie about waiting.



Oh okay, it's probably about immigrants, and foreigners in a foreign land and so on and so forth. But for me, it's about waiting. Tom Hanks who has been waiting for that chance to fulfill his promise to his father made me realize that sometimes, the wait is almost always worth it.



So here I am, in my room, still waiting. I can count on my head the things I'm waiting for. And maybe because I'm more pessimistic these days (can you blame me?) I am waiting like the prisoner about to be executed. I'm waiting for exam results, breast exam results, and my Prince Charming. Ha, now I'm including waiting for my True Love to come with waiting for results I've been dreading to see.



Again, can you blame me?



I'm crossing my fingers that it will be good news all around, praying to high heavens that I have had enough bad news of late, and I'm hoping against hope, that indeed, all of these will be worth the wait.
