I like Monday

Hey, Lord of the flame, your tail's on fire... (Manny, Ice Age)

Morning, dude. Genki desu ka.

Monday is not always my favorite day (especially because of the holiday lag), but it's a good day to start the whole week, so I like it.

The lady beggar on the railway doesn't show up, as always. Somehow she doesn't like Monday so she picks that day as a holiday. Or maybe on that particular day she assembles meeting with her colleagues presenting some new strategies to improve their performances. She did make an improvement, you know. First time I saw her, she was in her post (open fence to Palmerah railway station, east side) alone. Couple months later she brought a baby with her. This past few weeks she has two more little kids. Is it the strategy or she's just doing a favour for her colleagues, babysitting. I don't ask her, so I don't know. What I know is, she stays in that fence-post until afternoon. By night she'll move to Ramayana Palmerah, right on the last stair. Doing the same thing, of course. Babysitting...

Today I bring something for her. Since she's not "at work", I have too keep it first (I knew it's her day off, but still I gamble. Who knew she might change her schedule). I don't know if it's even meaningful, but I hope it will be useful.
