Charmed Indeed!

I am probably charmed as I claim my life to be..

 busy difficult  days are always armed with a smile..
Last week was proof enough that one person can have all the luck in this world.. While I had my mom undergo an executive check up in Manila, I catered to two events, specifically an OTD  & a Fully-coordinated wedding one day between each other. Talk about stress overload. Not having enough sleep, having your  exhausted body go from one place to another, tending not only to my clients but to my husband and kid back home, and my mom in the hospital, I'm not sure how I did it all. I'm starting to think I may have the genes of Superwoman in me.. About the lucky part and why I said I've been so charmed the whole week, let me tell you why...
       My biggest stress started on the second wedding we organized last week. A few days away from the event, my partner Aann and I called up all of the suppliers to orient them with the most important details and call time. But I got the biggest shock of my life when I was informed at 12 in the morning, 9 hours away from the event,  that the tent supplier  decided to pull out after an alleged call from a venue coordinator telling them that the deal was off.. Imagine my rage when she  insinuated that they will not be setting up anymore.. We were just a few hours away from the wedding..
the beautiful wedding it turned out in the end...


       But as coordinators, we were trained for this kind of situation, though you can't say you're emotionally prepared for the stress ahead... We managed to knocked some sense into this unprofessional tent supplier..  (By far, this was my FIRST LUCKY STREAK for the week)..
       At 4:30 am, our team left Cavite for the wedding. But we were only a few blocks  away from my place when I decided to stop and check the flowers at the back. Then the car won't start after that.. I think God must love me so much that he made me stop or else, we wouldn't know that our  car would have some minor problems along the way. Not that my husband  didn't check it the night before. To make the story short, Leihson was able to run a few blocks to where we were and was able to fix the car in 5 minutes or less... (MY SECOND STREAK OF LUCK)..  In God's grace, this  wedding went by successfully beautiful and  truly unforgettable.. Looking at this picture below, you wouldn't think we went through all that.. =)

our whole team at work....  great smiles you got there..

          The day after, my husband and I decided to do our  Christmas shopping since we barely had any time to go out because of our  events.. Exhausted from the day before, I was still a little groggy from lack of sleep but still insisted to go since we have no more free schedule after that... Malls at this time of the month could be very crowded.. Little did  I know that I was about to run into a phone-pickpocket.. You heard it right, my phone got stolen from my bag on my way to the crowded grocery. I was in tears upon realizing it got stolen. But all I could do was report the incident and get a sim replacement. I also contemplated on upgrading my mobile plan so I could get a new phone with it. (THIRD STREAK OF LUCK, I decided to wait a while before going along with the plan upgrade, thankfully I didn't rush myself into it. Let me explain further)
              That night upon arriving home, my husband received a call at 10:00 in the evening from an anonymous woman claiming to have found my phone in the parking lot. Yes!!! Imagine how small the chances are of finding your lost or stolen phone in a mall that crowded, SUPER LUCKY, right? The gracious woman handed it over to the mall security for easy pick up the next day. My heart was beyond grateful. The thief probably couldn't operate my phone since I had it blocked asap so he felt he had no use for it. Well, one thing's for sure, I'm the luckiest girl to have had an imbecile for a phone thief..
               That night, I kept on contemplating about all the things that happened to me..  I couldn't begin to describe how extraordinarily blessed I feel with all these streaks of luck that was given to me.. And before I forget, my mom's check up results were all good... Now, that's my cherry on top!
                I wouldn't mind asking for more, but hopefully with lesser mishaps next time around...Now, that's not too much to ask, don't you think?
