LONGEST BLOG
LONGEST BLOG
This is probably a long blog, since I haven’t really updated it for quite some time.
LAST WEEK’S HELL WEEK
Yes, it was hell week last week for the whole office. Last week Tuesday, Lola Goy, the mother of Sir RP, passed away at the age of 86. It’s sad seeing my boss in tears for many days. He can’t help it. His dad was lost in war and she was the father and the mother to him. It’s also unusual for a lola who would remember me when we met only for the 3rd time. How I wish I had a lola like her, who goes out for coffee or movie with her grandchildren.
On that same day, a big big issue on the big project exploded. Imagine my boss, at the emergency department of the hospital, while his mom is not yet even brought to the mortuary, this big client called him up on the phone and wanted to have an emergency meeting. Although informed of the situation, he said his condolences and still insisted on a meeting that same morning. How cruel. But I’ll just keep the rest of the issues as confidential. Our office started Saturday work again because of that. Of course I have to excuse myself since I have classes on Saturdays.
I’M FAT FOR ONE DAY
It’s a weird Monday morning when I was about to get dressed. I looked at the mirror and realized that my face is bloated. Dunno why. Then I looked at my arms,… they’re kinda fatter than usual too. I thought it’s just an illusion.
I went to the office and saw Charline, a former officemate hired back to our office. She told me, “Tumaba ka!”. Which I believe is true. She hasn’t seen me after I came back from my two-week leave, when I really fattened myself. I had in mind that I haven’t really lost those fats I gained at that time. At another time within the day, my officemate Ryan suddenly pinched my arm. I reacted by giving my trademark sungit reply, “Ano ba, sakit nun ah!”. Then he told me,… “Nanggigil ako… para kasing ang haba ng tulog mo nung weekend eh.” Okay, fine. Tumaba ako.
Just yesterday, I saw myself in the mirror… and I seem to be back to normal. Weird.
IN SEARCH FOR MATERIALS
Jasmine and I were assigned to do the material board of a Paseo project. We’re in urgent need of some kinda Mediterranean-looking colorful tiles for the exterior, something similar to Machuca tiles. So we were sent to MC Home depot in Ortigas. In addition to that, we have to search for abaca carpets and tropical-looking lamps for Ayala Greenfield project. So we’ve made our way and went all over the shops. We regretted that we were in our skirts and office shoes instead of our jologs UP get up.
The next day, I was sent alone to MC Home depot in Fort Bonifacio. I dropped by the house and changed to jeans and sneakers before doing my mission. But still, it was really exhausting and frustrating. I cannot find everything I need! Until now, I’m still having problems with those lamps.
When I shop for my personal stuff, I have that tendency not to buy anything for several weeks of going to different malls because I can’t find the right stuff. I feel the same way with building materials.
But at least, because of those trips, I was able to satisfy my craving for dirty ice cream… an on going longing for since I started working. Jasmine and I found an ice cream cart on the way back to the office, so we stopped for a break.
HYPER
It’s another weird thing this week. I felt so hyper for three days… Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, as if I had a caffeine overload, when I’m not really taking anything unusual. Sooo active that my boss called me “power”. I felt hyper inside, but physically I’m about to collapse. Well, I’m back to normal as of yesterday… bad trip,… it was hell yesterday and I really need that kind of an adrenaline rush.
