when the time was right today, i got dropped off by friend at the BTS skytrain station at Mo Chit. then i bought a ticket, and headed to Siam. Both of those places are stations for the Bankok Skytrain, the most recent public transportation method which is an above-ground train system which also has an even more recent underground counterpart.
i was on a mission to find apple.
all the information i had was the name of some place where her store was at, and the rest i had to find. how do you find one person in a city totaling 2.5 million? lemme tell you, it's not luck; it's some sense of adventure and timing. all timing.
i disembarked at Siam station and asked someone where "bonanza shopping centre" is, and then i walked walked walked. today was really the first time i had to fend for myself, and it was great to feel in control of my own daily program at least if not just for a tic.
i searched every floor of the shopping floors, and eventually saw her there before me. instead of yelling out her name, i just observed her, relievedly, and let her discover me. we met eyes and she smiled that sort of sweet genuine smile that is like an irreplacable memory. genuine, and gleaming.
sometimes when you take the most chances in a short amount of time, the payoff is that much larger. tonight i proved to myself that i can figure out how to get there and back, with a little time and motivation, and that aint bad y'all. so here's to worries turning into positive optimisitc adventurism.
yay for me.
