30 Minutes Into The Future

I just traveled 30 minutes into the future! Yes, this is not a hoax, I really did. No need of special engines, wormholes, time machines or any contraptions. I just kind of did.

Yesterday:
I was crossing the street when suddenly my cellphone fell and scattered itself in the middle of the road. I was embarrassingly picking up the pieces of my phone and quickly rode a jeepney home.
At home I reassembled my phone and being a Nokia 1208 classic model, it is still alive, this is one of the models that doesn't easily give up unless you throw it in fire.

This morning:
I woke up and check the time in my laptop it was still 6:47. I'm not late until 9 so I took my time. Ate breakfast, took a bath, dress-up, check email. When I was outside waiting for my ride, I checked the time. Oh my! it's already 8:35!

So instead of waiting for the jeepney I immediately took the first vacant taxi I saw. I don't like being late, I was restless the whole time inside the taxi. And then when I was in the capitol area...


It rang 8:00.

I set the wrong time in my phone.

And I arrived 30 minutes later at work.
