Hello guys, how are you? I hope everything is fine. Today I will share a personal story of what I experienced yesterday.
I accompanied my wife to her office in Quezon Avenue and was about to take MRT to get to my office at Boni Avenue. When I’m about to fall inline to buy the tickets, I find the line until the 2nd part of the stairs. I went down to check the end of the line and to my surprise, it’s infinite. Lol!
Seriously, from the upper stairs of the MRT where the guard check the bags of passengers down to the last part of the stairs continuously to the street side of Edsa going to Mother Ignaica Avenue! Whoo! That’s a looooong line. As usual, few trains are under operation causing this “infinite” lines.
So I decided to take the bus. From Quezon Avenue to Boni Avenue it took me almost 2 hours. Yay! I came late. Sigh.

I realized again how it’s really hard to travel like this every day. Sweat, smoke, “smell”, squeeze like a lemon and everything is given. MRT is fast somehow but always having an issue. If you take the bus, you’ll be late too because of the traffic. It will really take a lot of patience and sacrifice if you want to come to work early. Is this what we really are now?
Good thing I only came to our office once a week (twice if needed). I’m working from home. We’re working 4 days and then 3 days rest days. I realized how lucky I was to have this kind of job. I’m an I.T and working as a network administrator.
My wife is also working from home and only go to the office once or twice a week too. She’s also an I.T working as a server administrator. We’re both lucky to have this job and enjoying the benefits of working from home. And that’s what I’ll be sharing now, the benefits of working from home.

That’s a precious 20 hours of your life that you can use to other valuable activity or quality time with your family. If you’re working from home, you don’t need to wake up early to make it on time.
