What happened May 21st

So, on May 21st I attended our annual stroke conference Brain Attack! organized by UCLA. My friends at work and I usually go if not for the speakers who are brilliant but for the food. Usually it is held in Beverly Hills Hotel. My friends Rolando,Mira and Jenette were going so I knew it would be fun to go. The day before Rolando and I were already setting up the strategy for carpooling to the hotel. Our usual take was to meet in UCLA and then carpool to the hotel. I thought everything was ok to invite another co-worker to join the carpool but as the planning proceeded it was decided that we had to ditch our c-worker because Mira wanted to tell us something important and private and presonal to us. I became nervous when I heard that from Rolando, my first thought was something happened in Mira's marriage but after some thoughts I decided it was probably more positive than that.***Then saturday came and I met the three outside Med Plaza parking. I was nervous to hear what Mira was up to, but it was only when we were sitted in our table where we were going to listen to doctors drone out their expertise and accomplishments, and was eating our breakfast that she just blurted it out to me - "I'm gonna have a divorce - he cheated on me". Those few words came down on me like a ceiling caving in. I was swept with sadness for her situation and a creeping fear slowly came inside me as I listened to what have been happening in her married lfe for the last few months. I felt sick to my stomach. I felt ashamed that her husband Dexter is Cebuano like me. I became fearful of my own marriage by the fact of what happened the past Wednesday night.***To off set Mira's sad situation we (Rolando,Jenette,Mira and I) were texting like crazy for the first 2 hours of the conference. We texted crazy observations and useless info and topics. At one point I text telling them that kidding aside I am really sad about this anticipated dissolution of marriage and my fears about the fragility of marriage. Rolando and Jenette both text back with encouragement and practical thoughts. Even Mira text me that there is always hope. And with that I text that I will hold on to hope, hope on God that He will preserve my marriage.***Jenette,Mira and I didn't finish the whole conference as usual. Rolando wanted to stay. So we girls went to L.A. downtown by the Staples Center which they call L.A.Live and watched the movie Bridesmaids which was awesomely hilarious and went to dinner at Katsuya. We let Mira vent her feelings and her situation. For me it got to be very depressing. But who am I to complain when Mira's situation was worse than listening to her talk. So we let it her talk until we went our separate ways.
