Clients to coach and boxing to do. I'd say it was back to the grind for me but I didn't exactly take a day off yesterday. Yesterday I had a 7am client, 10am rugby and then 1pm filming. So I was up at 6am and didn't technically finish work till about 6pm, 12 hours later.
Today's plan of attack -- morning coaching, midday boxing, evening planning, late night running.
Everything went as planned except for the late night running.
Instead of running, I headed out to a hospital in Makati. One of Skittles' uncles is being treated there. He's a much loved celebrity, an actor who just refused to retire and whom has been working up till now, despite being 90 years of age. On Saturday he was involved in an accident on the set of an upcoming filming production. He tripped on a wire that should have been taped down. I won't go into the details of what happened but will not that it was super sad that it was broadcasted on YouTube. An amateur video of the accident caught on tape has gone viral, with screenshots of it plastering the web, and leaving us all with bitterness and disgust.
His situation is really bad. The whole thing is really sad.
I had been asked if I wanted to go, to pay my respect, but I had a problem with seeing his wife, knowing that I'd totally remind me of my dad when my mom passed. So I didn't go. But then, much later in the evening, I decided I should go. The situation wasn't about me, I'd have to put my struggles aside and be there for the family. And so I went.
All I could think was of the fact that just a couple of days ago, everything for everyone was different.
