Sucky Day

this is not a good day to go to work.

aside from the obvious na sobrang lakas ng ulan ngayon, mahirap sumakay, at masarap matulog o kaya ay maupo sa kama habang nanonood ng mga movies sa hbo, pangit ang araw na ito dahil di safe sa workplace. gusto nyo ng pruweba? ikukuwento ko sa inyo.

so feeling ko this morning, suwerte ako. agad akong nakasakay ng fx sa mindave. at kung papalarin ka nga naman, didiretso pa ng ortigas ang lolo mo. kaya di na ko kailangang pumila pa, o kaya ay mag-mrt at maglakad across the rocky parking lots of podium. bumaba ako ng el pueblo at naglakad papuntang discovery. tinignan ko ang relo ko habang inaantay for 50 million years ang elevator ni kuya cesar. 8:47. di pa ko late.

dumiretso ako sa spa kasama ang isa sa mga therapists. papasok pa lang kami nang marinig ang ingay ng tubig. pagliko sa isa sa mga hallways, nakita namin ang dalawang pseudo-"waterfalls" na bumabagsak mula sa mga halogen lights papunta sa wooden floors. di kami makadaan. wadaweedoo? binuksan namin ang aming payong at pinangsangga ito sa tubig. agad naman naming nasabihan ang manager thru text, ang engineering department ng hotel, at ang head ng marketing, na sa panahong iyon ay ang nag-iisang tao sa office.

mga 1 1/2 hours after, dumating ang mga managers at ang spa consultant. nalaman namin na sewer pipes pala sa itaas ang sumabog. siyet. maduming tubig. kaya pala ang baho. galing pa sa mga banyo ng mga suites yun. waaahhhh!!! ayoko nang isipin ang mga duming nadikit malamang sa payong ko!!!

maya-mayang kaunti ay tinawag ako ng spa consultant. sinabihan ako na bakit daw hindi ko sinabihan ang manager at ang gm. what? front desk ako. nang makita namin, natext na namin ang manager. at bakit daw sinabi ko sa head ng marketing at di sa gm, di ko naman daw 'yun boss. haynaku. eh wala ngang tao. it was the closest we could get to the highest powers nang ganun kaaga. siyempre kailangan ko bumalik sa spa, para i-man ang front desk just in case may mga gustong pumasok dun na guest at makita na ganun ang nagaganap. hay. what did i do wrong?!

oh well. di naman ako nasabon masyado. bad trip lang kasi ang sinasabi ng spa consultant, ako daw ang in charge sa mga nangyayari sa buong spa. what?! sa front desk lang ako... hindi ako manager of some sort. buti sana kung mas mataas ang sweldo ko. oo, may responsibility ako pero di to the point na ako ang masisisi in situations na ganito. gusto ba nilang sahurin ko ang mabahong tubig?! hehe.

weniwei... dahil sa mga naganap, natigil ang training namin. pinauwi kami ng maaga. kaya heto ko ngayon, sa bahay, isinusulat ang nangyari kanina at pinahuhugasan ang payong kong kadireh na.

May Trabaho Ka Update

isang buwan na simula noong una kong pumasok sa trabaho. bilis din. dalawang beses na akong sumahod, nasukatan na ng uniform, nakapag-training na for first aid, nasubukan na halos lahat ng masahe sa spa, nagtraining sa front desk, at nag-soft opening na. dami na rin palang nangyari. nitong friday lang ay inayos na namin ang mga gamit sa hotel na tinutuluyan namin sa ayala para sa paglipat namin bukas sa ortigas. gusto ko na rin kasi umalis doon. bukod sa nakakatakot ang lugar na iyon, napakahirap pang puntahan sa umaga. napakatagal ng biyahe, kailangan ko tuloy gumising ng napakaaga.

ang perk lang naman ng pagpasok doon ay malapit ako sa kanya. mas madalas na kasi kaming magkita ngayon, kung ikukumpara noong practicum ko. mas malapit pa kami ngayon. siguro na rin, dahil alam ko na kung paano magtrabaho. di na ako bugnutin, o madalas magalit pag di kami nagkikita... mas madalas nga lang, kung di kami sabay na nakakauwi, na nalulungkot ako dahil di ko siya kasama. nasanay na kasi akong may mapagsasabihan ng mga nangyari sa araw ko, at makinig sa mga nangyari sa araw niya. hay. sana kahit lumipat na kami, ganun pa rin.

ayos pa naman ang trabaho eh. masaya. kaya lang minsan, sinusumpong ako ng pagkamiss sa school... sa mga kaklase ko. minsan kasi, may mga hirit na di maintindihan ng mga kasama ko sa trabaho. di naman inside joke, pero basta. iba ang mga usapan, kahit dun sa tambayan lang noon, kumpara sa mga usapan sa trabaho. kaya sobrang ayos nung sumama si ces sa akin para magpa-massage... at tumambay the whole day. hehe. at earlier this week, nag-text si mitch at nagpa-interview din. hmmm... ano na kaya naganap?

pasok na naman bukas. sa susunod na ko gagawa ng matinong entry dahil wala ko sa mood this week. tsk.

Cuidar. Till It Hurts.

here's a line from Cuida by Sugarfree:

Nais kong maging saysay ng aking buhay ay bigyan ang iyo ng kulay

i know it sounds really sappy but the weather's been absolutely dreary that it just makes you want to feel all sentimental and stuff. hay. i feel like i'm back in high school. i wish i could still write poems like i used to. hehe.

the thing is, i've heard the same kind of song before. some guy wanting to hold the world up for the love of his life. bumenta na 'yun eh. i never did like songs that tried to convey that because it sounded so cheesy. like they were delivering line after line after line. but i like sugarfree so much for sounding so sad always. weird noh? the first i heard it i thought, "he must really want to take care of her so much that it hurt, he sounds like he's pleading, or crying, or something."

don't you just feel that way sometimes? feel something so good, it hurts? want something so bad, you end up tormented just to get to it? there are times when you just want to make everything right for someone else and you get yourself all worked up over it, not thinking about what good it'll do you. okay. so i've got my own superhero complex, even though it's obvious i couldn't do much right now. the rain makes me think of things i don't usually dwell on regular days. just goes to show how much of a sucker for drama i really am.

Whassap, Tsoknat?!

so a little over two weeks after i have officially graduated, i got a job. i am a receptionist for discovery suites' spa, terra. they're not open yet. they are still undergoing renovations so i have to wait until september for the re-opening. i am undergoing training, though. what do i do there? well... i get to try all the massages and other treatments for free. haaay.... i must have gotten more massages in the last three days than my whole month's salary could afford. love thai foot massages.:D

owkeeei... moving along....

for the past week, he's been bombarded with marriage cracks. he went on leave earlier this week and when he came back, he found out that his officemates have been speculating about how we got married over the weekend or something like that so he had to take that day off. just this friday, he and i met up near his office. after having dinner, we went back to their office building just so he could get his things and time out. but before i got past the security at the lobby, they asked where i was going. the other guard shrugged towards him and told the one who stopped me, "sige na, asawa nya yan."

he was smiling when he heard that, even when we were already in the lift. i think he was pleased with it. we had a laugh about it, but we were both smiling actually. okay, i admit, i liked how people i don't even know have pegged us to be that kind of together, if you get my drift.

i've never written about him before... i just don't know what to say. i've been really happy this past few months, and i want to be selfish about it. all you need to know is that we've been spending more time lately because i don't have to go to school anymore and it's easy to walk over to his office or to our temporary office and that i love how he holds me.

if by some chance he decided to read this... well... thank you. sometimes i just don't know how to say anything, but i'll try to tell you how content i've been with you. the things i find hard to say, or write... i guess i'll just have to show you.Ü see you.
