I Finished an Impossible Task


A true event...
Yesterday when I was making and preparing the apps which will be used for automated SPG Election were all messed up, I found out all my works vanished when I got home. I was thinking never to tell this problem to anyone yet. I don't want anyone to worry about me. So I have to start all over again. I went back to the office to get a copy of grades 4-5 voters and list of candidates. Certain problems were encountered. First my motorcycle didn't run so I have to walk that night at arount 10pm from my house to school. Second I needed to carry along a rock for dogs will trouble me on my way. Third, I have to borrow keys to open the gate and office from the guard. Fourth, I have to pass a funeral to get to the school. When I got what I needed to re-encode, I still needed to walk back home. I carried a stone again to drove away dogs on my way. While on my way, a bystander neighbor pitied me, let me hitch a ride on his motorbike. I was so thankful I got home faster and safe. When I was about to use the laptop, it ran an update. Damn! It was 5% still. I told myself, God I needed you so much today. I was able to finish a rosary. When I got back with the laptop still running at 5%. I aborted the update, I shut down the laptop. I reopened it. It took a few minutes to undo some changes before it finally opened. I looked at my clock oh it's not running. I turn to my cellphone. It took me an hour to start encoding again from scratch. I worked fast. My belly was aching still have to continue encoding. A little while I started to feel my back is aching. I stretch awhile and finish one section before eating a midnight snack at 1:00am. I sipped a coffee and continued to work on. I can feel the temperature is getting low. It's a little chilly so I turned off my fan. Each section I finish, I stretch a bit. I urinated and drank water more frequently. I wasn't aware of the time. Suddenly my alarm clock rung. It's 4:00am and still awake. I can feel my nerves are a bit numb. And finally I finished at 4:30. I still have to test it and it works. I was so excited that I didn't feel sleepy. I didn't have enough time to sleep so I took a bath and plan to visit the church. I didn't got some breakfast. I wore my clothes and carry my bags. Turned off the electric, carry my motorcycle and my bags and walked on my way to my father's house to Bito. While on my way, an evangelizer tried to talked to me so I dared not to entertain him since I'm overburdened. He was such in a wrong timing to did that to me. I Thereleft my motorcycle in the shop and at Bito I left my belongings and started to walk to church. I took my breakfast at my father's house. I came to school so early not my usual time. I was excited to use the apps. By the time the election started, the apps didn't work well. I don't know what went wrong. It took hours for me to figure out. Half of the day we only use one device. At passed 12pm, I closed all apps and started again. And boom, the apps were working 100% again. We connected several laptops and cellphones to maximize the process of election. So the work became 5 times faster and we finished in no time. Thanks God all lapses were fulfilled. I am so thankful for the persons who helped me accomplish the tasks. It was so tiresome but all efforts were well paid off. All glory and honor to God.
