I was
dreaming when Mj woke me up. My dream was about Epr. I was looking after him.
We haven't seen each other.
Six-thirty
when I arrived at Eastland. I washed immediately. But, it was not enough to
help me get my quota. It just adds on my collected tickets.
Before
I forgot, I phoned on Mama at 5:45 AM. She already knew that I am working in
Pasig. Auntie Vangie told her. I asked her when she would go to Bulan. She said
that she still has no money. She's waiting for Taiwan's promise. Thus, I
decided to visit Taiwan-Jenny tomorrow. I will borrow money, too, for my
allowance.
I'm
just worried about our unpaid property tax in Bulan. It would be ten years this
September. It would be repossessed if we couldn't pay it.
Sir
Louie wanted me to work overtime till 10 PM, but I have done all before six.
So, I left at six. Before six, Jowel, the dryer, was inviting me to drink. I did
not promise. I just said "Pag nakaraos na." I have
got so many credits to be paid.
Traffic
delayed me...
I
bought milk for Hanna and diapers for them. I pity Hanna, too, for she was now
drinking Alaska milk. I promised that it would only be good for a week.
I got
home at eight.
Mj
could not believe that I have work tomorrow. She thought I was going somewhere else.
She must believe me.
I have
to text Ate Juliet. I'm sure she's waiting for my notice or text why she
couldn't hear from me. I knew she was judging me as no word of honor. Bad thing
is Ilek was texting. She has load, but she's using it.
I
tried to fall asleep after dinner because I was leaving tomorrow as early as
4:30 AM.
September
2, 2007
Four,
I was awakened by Mj. My body wanted to lie down still, but I didn't want to
lose the rarest opportunity of better living. I might have success in this
work.
Waking
up early is good. I don't think, bathing early is good, too. Nice thing is Mj
heated lots of water for our coffee. The excess is for my bath.
Eight,
Sir Louie met some of 1st Revising employees, including me. He talked about
what he heard yesterday. He was hurt by a joke of two revisers. Good thing is
I'm not kidding him. Besides, I did not know him well. He's 'pikon pala'.
Nine,
I was transferred to knitting manual. They occupied me by giving me lots of
samples to be washed. Nevertheless, I accepted them with contentment and smile
on my face.
While
working, I realized that my work is too laborious. The cloths when wet are
thrice heavier than their original weight. My chest hurts when I lift them. My
head aches, too. However, I have to be industrious and patient. I have no
choice, but to fulfil my task. Besides, it's better than no work at all. At
least, I could purchase those I wanted to buy.
Two, I
rushed to Taiwan's in-laws' house. I got there at 3. He's busy, thus Jen
entertained me. We talked about Eastland. I have learned that she applied
there, but she was asked who's her backer. Bad thing is only Aban is what she
has answered, which is not known to HRD, because Ate Genalyn is now Genalyn
Tayag.
When
Taiwan was unoccupied, we talked about Eastland again. I then induced them to
apply there. I gave them the numbers of Bilog and Ate Gina. I advised them,
too.
We
tackled Mama's leaving home to Bulan, as well. I reminded him about his
promise. Sad thing is he could not give it. He is financially incapacitated
that moment, so as, me.
I load
my sim, then I texted Ate Juliet, asking her a kind consideration. She accepted
my explanations. She then told me that Rachie and her husband were still
separated. I pity her. I could still remember my 'kapilyuhan'. It's my fault
actually. I texted Rachie with a love quote.
I also
texted Maila. We talked about Mj's jealousy.
Past 5
PM when Taiwan, his 'mag-ina' and I left to Bayan. They're going to church. I
was going home.
When I
got home, Mj immediately asked if Taiwan lent me money. I sadly say no and
explained why. She's just worried about my allowance and our kids' needs.
Tomorrow
is Zildjian's 6th month birthday. I pity him for he has no 'handa', unlike
Hanna on her 6th month. However, I'm thankful that he's healthy.
September
3, 2007
Quarter
to five when the alarm rang. I wanted to reset it, but I preferred to get up
and prepare to leave.
I
thought I was late when I the surroundings. The darkness has gone. It was not
the usual scenario. I then rushed to Bayan. I almost run. Six-thirty when I
arrived at Eastland. I was too early. It made me blame myself, especially when
I remember that today is first Monday of the month. We're supposed to be in at
7:30, because we would have a flag ceremony. It would be followed on the third
Monday. Thus, I started washing. I was so occupied. I have had lots of work to
be done.
Arlene,
our secretary, returned my IPR (Individual Payroll Report) dated August 31 and
September 1, because my efficiency rates were 29% and 50%, respectively. She
told me to fix it.
Ten, I
went to HRD and signed a contract there. I would have an OT today. I also
signed to an OT mini-contract. I was thankful that I would have more income.
Eight-thirty,
the overtime work ended. I got home at quarter to ten. Mj reminded me that Zj's
milk was good for two 'timpla'. She asked from whom I could owe.
"Whom?", I replied...
I
tried to sleep at 10 PM.
September
5, 2007
I must
not be tired of waking-up and bathing early. I have to be patient, hardworking,
and industrious, for my family.
Early
at past 7, Ate Agnes came in. She was texted last night because she' going to
be awarded as "Best Employee" in our department, for the month of
August. She has given a simple recognition, gift (wish), and a certificate.
Then,
Sir Louie pointed out that I must not be sad to my position. He complied that I
would be the next awardee. Ate Malou said "Huwag kang mag-alala,
tutulungan kita." Those were the inspirations I have gotten. I
could feel that I'm really the next...
Overtime
work...
Ate
Joan Flores left home at 7:00 PM. I didn't notice her leaving. Alas! I wanted
to borrow money from her tonight. But, she's gone. Yet, I still confident that
I could owe tomorrow.
I was
home at ten. Mj announced that she owed milk and diapers at the nearest store,
after I told her my 'sahod' on Saturday would be based on my first week working
days. She was saddened by it.
September
6, 2007
I left
to Eastland with P26 on my pocket. I didn't know where it would bring me or
whom I could borrow from.
At
Eastland, I approached Ate Pilar. Without question, except for "How
much?", she gave me the amount I said. It's only P100, which would satisfy
my needs till tomorrow.
Seven,
Joel, Eli, and I cleaned out the can vans. I've got dusts. Good thing, I
haven't catch colds.
While
working overtime, Ate Malou invited me to join her. She immediately interviewed
me about my 'mag-iina'. I could see her care for me. I think, I have made a
wrong first impression to her.
While
my workmates were taking a break at six, I was making a note for Mj, as a reply
to her message to me, which she put on my bag. It goes like this:
Mj,
Thanks!
Frankly,
I forgot his special day. I'm sorry. You know how busy I was these past few
days. We even don't have time to talk.
I was
touched by your effort, but let me tell you this: I'm not a womanizer. They're
the ones who are coming into my life. Anyway, don't be afraid. I will stay besides
you.
Just
remember always that I'm a family man. Happy 44th mensisary!
This
is her letter:
Bee,
Hapi
44th mensisary!
I
don't know if we could still need to celebrate it. Halos wala na tayong time w/
each other. I really miss those times. Mga biruan at kwentuhan nating walang
'wenta o kahit ano lang na ginagawa natin, basta masaya tayo. I miss you.
Everything about you. Ewan ko, pero pakiramdam ko, malayo ka nsa sa'kin.
I
don't know if 'she's the reason'. I know, you like her and you miss her, too.
I love
you and I will always will, hangga't andito ako. Aalagaan kita kahit hindi man
tayo sa bandang huli. I will always treasure you, too.
Honey,
Still,
Mj and I have had no time to talk. I sleep after writing. I just kissed my
kids.
September
7, 2007
Quarter
to five, I was visited by a terrible toothache. It was pestering me days ago,
night and day. But this morning, the pain was unbearable. I couldn't sleep.
Thus, I got up. It's so happened that Zildjian was wide-awake already. He's
playing. I cuddled him up. He was smiling at me. Hanna got up, too. She wanted
to come with me. Good thing, she did nit cry.
When I
arrived at Eastland, 6:30 AM, I wanted to sleep. Thus, I lied down over the
cloths. Bad thing is there's a disturbance. She washed cloths, which made me
shy. Hence, I got up and started washing.
It was
so hot in my workplace. My sweat fell all over my body. My shirt was already
wet. I was just afraid it could make me sick, that I couldn't afford to have.
Lunch
break... I made a 'latag' near the washing machine. I tried to nap.
Unfortunately, warm air coming from a machine was making me sweat. I couldn't
help but to wipe them. I think I haven't caught sleep even a single minute.
I
realized, while working, that my position in this company is inappropriate to
my course. I remembered Ate Malou's words. She's right. However, I must pursue
working. I have no choice. It is a shame if I will go back to Infinite. And, it
is hard if I will look another job. I have spent two thousands pesos plus since
I was trained at Eastland, till this very day.
Before
break time, I asked Jowel if he has money. Without saying "No", he,
in lieu, referred Ate Yo, an old lady in our department. According to him,
she's lending money. He immediately told it to her. And after a few minutes,
Presto! One hundred pesos was handed down to me. I just have got startled when
he announced that it has ten pesos interest. And, I secretly grimace. But, I
accepted it happily. At least I could satisfy my needs tomorrow, especially
this afternoon, for I have nothing in my pocket, except for one peso coin.
Before
four, Sir Louie asked why I didn't ask him before I wash the black fabrics,
which they called 'Lan'. I was taught how to wash and treat Lan, but I wasn't
sure if that black fabrics are Lan. I was told before by him that there were so
many washers, who were terminated because of the improper way of washing and
due to the damages they made. Instead of being nervous and afraid, I calmed
myself. I believed I did the right way and they were not Lan. But, If it was
wrong, I knew it could be treated again. I knew I would not be terminated. I
just took it as a lesson.
Tired
and sleepy, I was. I lied down minutes after I arrived home. I tried to nap. I
failed.
Mj
talked to me about my salary tomorrow. She was expecting a high wage. Thus, she
asked me if I could lend Nono Reno P100. I strongly said 'No', for I have got
lots of credit to be paid. Here's the computation:
P1000
– Ate Juliet
700 –
Jano-Gie
500 –
Nanay
322 –
Ate Rita (shirts and embutido)
100 –
Ate Pilar
100 – Ate Yo
P2722
– Total (Plus budget for Nanay and interests for Ate Juliet and Ate Yo)
How
could I pay them all? I don't know who's to prioritize. I might only receive
more or less P2000.
Mj wanted
to buy cream for Hanna's skin disease. I don't think I could purchase it.
"Lord
God, thank you for the blessings! I have faced multifarious crises, but You
make me strong. Thank You for the physical and mental strength! Please, Lord,
continue bless me and my family and their families. Help us in getting our
daily needs. Lord, help overcome my problem about Lan. I was being laughed by
Jowel and Eli. Please prove to them that they were wrong. Thank You, Lord, for
this job, despite of its hardship. Just keep me healthy and strong, patient and
perseverant. Pardon me for my shortcomings. Amen."
September
8, 2007
Alarm
clock rang at 4 PM. I thought it was 5, so I got up. I wondered why Mj did not
get up. She announced later that it was too early, thus I slept again.
I was
so sleepy while I was in the jeepney. I tried to open my eyes so that I could
not go beyond my destination, like what happened last, last day.
Six-twenty
when I arrived at Eastland. I conversed first with my close workmates and I
finally started washing. I was then feeling nervous for I have done wrong
washing operations.
Past
seven, I was hailed by Sir Loiue. He's not angry. In fact, he told me that I'm
industrious. I have just committed mistakes. It's the 'hindi
pagtatanong'. I was asking him, but that fabric was not approved by him
because I did not ask him what to do.
Eli
was commanded to treat the Lan. I knew he's not happy doing it, but I could say
nothing. I let him do the treatment. I assisted him anyway.
After
two hours, the result was good. It turned out the way it must be. I was so
glad. In fact, I was planning to hand down an apology letter to Sir Louie,
which I wrote after break time. The letter goes like this:
Sir
Loiue,
I am
sorry... Yet, thankful, I was for you are a considerate one.
Thank
you for the second chance, for I could show you my worth and capabilities. Rest
assured that I will be more careful and inquisitive.
God
bless you!
However,
I haven't had a chance to rewrite it in an elegant paper. I waited for the
break time, but I was working still.
I
remember that that scenario has been my physical dream. I have dreamt of that.
It was an exact reality. I just don't know if I have given that letter of
apology. But, I was sure it has a good ending, because most of my forgotten or
unremembered dreams were happening in the future of present.
My
salary was given at 2:30 PM. I was disappointed that it's only P1687.50. I was
expecting for P2000+. Yet, I knew, it would be given next Saturday.
I paid
Ate Yo, Ate Pilar, and Ate Rita (P122). Ate Yo gave back the P10 interest. I
handed down to her. She whispered that it was our secret. Only Eli, Jowel, She
and I knew it. No one must know about it. Okay, I said.
Good
thing, Ate Rita accepted my payment. I still have P200 balance.
I
signed for a four hours overtime work. However, before five, I have got no more
load to do, thus I decide to out at 5 PM. But before that, I have come to an
idea of joining the Eastland Challenge, wherein I have to suggest about quality,
cost reduction, work efficiency, etc. I opted to suggest --- lowering down the
required quota for 10%. It was in connection with what happened yesterday to
Lan. It was because I was running after quota.
I
explained under the question "Benefits that can be gained from the
suggestion". It goes like this:
"Quantity
of an output is less important than quality. An employee tends to get his/her
quota in the fastest way even the quality of our products is affected. Remember
that we, the consumers want quality products over a substantial or poorly-made
one. Thus, lowering down the quota will improve the quality of our products.
Otherwise, meeting a required quota does not necessarily mean efficiency. It
sometimes leads to deficiency. That's why we have supervisor. Their role is to
supervise and ensure the quality, not the quantity."
I
showed it to Jowel, Ate Margie, and Ate Pilar. They agree. I hoped it will be
chosen. If that will so, I will never be as tired as before.
Five,
Bilog and I have met at the hallway. He invited me to go to their house. I
agree, since I wanted to thank Ate Genalyn personally. However, she's not
there. Thus, I told it to Bilog before I left.
Past
six when I arrived in Bayan. I window-shopped at Novo, then, I bought milks and
diapers at Super Palengke. I got home before 8 PM.
Mj was
disappointed to my salary. I was paying back Nanay, but she gave it back to me.
She told me, too, to use it, for it might be used to Meralco bill next week.
Though
I have no work tomorrow, I sleep early. I knew toothache would attack again.
September
9, 2007
I was
right. Toothache struck again at the wee time. It made me tumble side by side.
Plus, backache pestered me. They both made me sleepless.
Seven,
I was too sleepy still, yet I was forced to get up. I have attended Zj.
Since
Hanna and Zj were coughing hardly, Mj and I argued. She wanted me to buy
Ventolin for nebulizer. I wanted her to give my children with oregano
concoction or extract. My point is more effective than her. Besides, it's not
costly. However, I still decided to go to Bayan for that medicine. Yet, I
picked four leaves of oregano, which she gave to my kids..
Past
nine, Hanna and I left home to Bayan. There, we window-shopped. I could see her
gladness and delight in what we're doing. It merely saddened me when I couldn't
give her all she was pointing.
She
was so happy when she saw Jollibee> Sad thing is I couldn't treat her there.
Thus, I brought her to Ultra Mega Supermarket. There, I put her on a cart, as
if I was buying in bulk. The truth is I was just buying in impulse. I bought
sanitary and laundry items, chocolate drink, and biscuits for me, as 'baon',
and notebook, for my journal. I ALSO BOUGHT Hanna a magical writing board. She
loves to scribble. So, she must have one.
Eleven,
we went to Lola's house. I borrowed the nebulizer. I left after a few minutes.
Writing
board made Nicole crazy and envious. She was crying for it. I never buy it for
her. I never buy it just to make her envious. I buy it so that Hanna starts to
love scribbling as early as possible.
Nicole
has irked me. She kept on tailing for Hanna. What I did not like was she was
hitting Hanna on her face. In my rage, I grabbed her hand and said angry words.
I was seen by her mother, Michael, Bernie, and Michelle. I did not care. I was
protecting my daughter from sadism.
I
said, "Ugali nito!" Until, she cried and hid to
Ilek.
Huh!
That's why we have to have a separate house. My kids will grow up bad her. They
will be envious to each other or they will be envied.
September
10, 2007
Quarter
to 7 when I arrived at Eastland. It's the first time that happened. It may be
because I was delighted to Zildjian. I kissed him many times, before I left.
I was
'natambakan ng gawa' because Overlock Girls has worked yesterday. Thus, I
started quickly.
Later,
Sir Louie talked to us. He said, we have to overtime work tonight and the next
days. Of course, I would love to have a lot of overtime works.
Later,
I signed to an overtime sheet. We would have an overtime work till Friday. I am
so lucky.
Ten
AM, I met Ate Genalyn at the hallway. She asked me if I already have waged. I
said, yes. Then, I thanked her.
Before
I eat, I went to HRD and claimed my ATM. I was supposed to pass my ID picture.
Later, I was asked to present the original copy of my birth certificate.
I did
not take a nap at 12. Instead, I continued washing. I also did a letter for Mj.
It was about Hanna and Nicole's frequent quarrel. I told her to take care of
Hanna because her mean cousin is hitting my daughter's face often. I advised
her to tell it to Ilek and to talk to her niece. I also added that I hate to
see Hanna being hurt. I couldn't afford to see anybody hurting her.
I have
had many loads to do, so I took extra speed on washing. Thus, before five, they
were almost done.
I have
got home at ten. I checked Hanna's face. Good thing is it's still flawless.
"Thank
You, Lord for this blissful day! Amen."
Mj has
already read my letter. She got it on my wallet. We don't talk about it.
I was
disturbed by the terrible pain due to my toothache. It's been a week now. I
don't know why it's happening to me.
September
11, 2007
Twelve-twenty,
I was still awake. Toothache I was feeling was terrible. I couldn't bear the
pain. I don't know when or what time I have fallen asleep. All I knew is that I
was lack of sleep.
In
Eastland, I converse first to my close workmates before washing.
Ten, I
claimed my ID and submitted the original copy of my birth certificate. Bad
thing, no one will going to approve. So, I have to come back.
Twelve,
I took a nap.
Four,
Divine invited me to join the 'paluwagan' It's worth P300. I joined without
hesitation. I knew it could help me save. I was the 9th among ten. I'm going to
receive the money on November 12, 2007. I was planning to buy a brand new
cellphone as a reward for myself in being workaholic.
I was
so tired when I got home. Mj was sleeping. She didn't even manage to get up and
prepare my dinner. It was okay. I understand.
I
kissed my kids before closing my eyes. I hoped I could sleep early. I hoped
toothache leaves me alone.
Disappointed
I was. I suffered from tremendous pain. I almost cried.
I did
not know when I have fallen asleep.
September
12, 2007
I was
so early when I arrived at Eastland. Good thing is Margie Rizaga arrived early,
so I have had a companion in the waiting area.
After
break time, Ate Yo said, "Ikaw, ha, hindi ka nakikisalo sa
amin." I apologized and promised I will do tomorrow.
Twelve,
I took a nap. I think, I have fallen asleep for the few minutes. However, it
made me satisfied. At least I felt alright.
Three,
the first revising department was blown out by Sir Louie, since his daughter is
celebrating her first birthday in September 14. It was just 'pansit', but
thankful I was, for I have saved my money for supposed snacks. Anyways, it made
me full.
Eli
was teaching me how to treat 'Lan'. I actually knew it. I just don't want to do
so, because it's so hard to do. And, it takes so many times. I'd rather wash
cotton than Lan, while Sir Louie was pushing me to learn.
Nine,
I was going home. Ten, I was home. I kissed my sleeping children. My teeth seem
okay.
September
13, 2007
When
the alarm clock rang, my body wanted to give up. I wanted to sleep again. But,
I thought of my inspirations: credits, family, career, etc. Yet, I arrived at
Eastland too early. Six-thirty it was. I was sleepy, thus I took a nap near the
washing machine. Disturbances occurred.
Past
eight, I could feel body ache. It decreased my energy. I suspected it was
influenza. I wanted to lie down.
Before
nine, Sir Louie called for a brief meeting. He talked about Ate Malou's
birthday on Saturday. We're all invited.
After
break time, I signed for a 7 to 7 work on Saturday and 6 to 2 work on Sunday. I
did not know if I would be glad. All I wanted on Sunday is to go to Sta .Lucia
East Grand Mall together with Hanna. I wanted to unwind and reward myself for
being a hardworking one. But, it was postponed. I think, it would be better if
we will re-schedule it on next Sunday.
Twelve,
I tried to sleep. I think I have fallen asleep. However, headache came in, when
I got up at 12:45. I worked slowly. Yet, I wished to meet my quota, though it's
impossible.
Four-thirty,
I asked permission to our encoder, since Sir Louie has gone home earlier, to
prepare for his daughter's first birthday party. Arlyn permitted me. Thus, I
finished my load, before I left. Before five, I greeted Ate Malou in advance.
She already knew what I was feeling. Later, she and Ate Tess were kidding me.
Later,
great rain poured down. I was on the way home. I was stranded in Bayan. I
waited so long. I chilled when I tried to walk home through the rainy street. I
did not want to ride for I was saving my money. When I arrived, Hanna has
fever, too. I pity her. After I have taken Paracetamol and Alaxan, sweat
started to build up. So, I took off my sweater. I felt okay. I could work
tomorrow.
September
14, 2007
I feel
better when I woke up at 5, yet I slept again till 5:25. Then I half-bathed. I
must not have a full bath due to my sickness last night.
I
kissed my sleeping children before I left. I missed them so much. I have had no
time last night to cuddle them up, since Mj has stopped me to do so, especially
Zj. Hanna was 'tantrumic'.
Six-eighteen
when I arrived at Eastland. I was waiting for Ate Pilar, so that I could borrow
P100, since I only have P200 in my pocket. I have told it at eight. However,
she has no money yet. I tried to borrow from Ate Rita, but she just saddened
me. She wanted to lend me, but with interest. Ate Pilar has a good heart. She
borrowed from someone and she handed it to me. She really cares. "God,
please bless her."
When
Ate Malou arrived, she approached me. I said I was okay now. She kids me,
later. I could now say that she's a good companion.
Active
I was now! I didn't feel any pain already.
Treatment
of Lan was started by me at 9, since Eli was not yet present. Besides, I have
got nothing to wash.
After
break time, Cathy asked me, if I want to join in English Club, where in I have
to pay P5.00 every time they hear me speak Tagalog. I immediately said, Okay!
Then, I asked, "Who are the members?" I would love to do it.
Later
Ate Rita and Ate Pilar asked me what course I have taken up. They have learned
that it was unused and 'sayang'. But, I'm not ashamed of it. It is true that
success is everywhere. I might be a supervisor of Eastland. Hehe.
Who
knows?
I've
got a lot of works to do. I never had a chance to sit. I started to fell
backache. Thus, at 8:10 I finished all things I've to accomplish. I did IPR. I
cleaned the area. Then, I bonded with my workmates.
I was
home at 10 PM. Mj was wiping Hanna's forehead with damped cloth. I knew she has
fever, the question I asked, instead was 'Naka-withdraw ka?'
Michael
did the withdrawal. I made me sad, knowing that my children were both sick. Mj
bought antibiotic for two. I was hoping she has bought vitamins.
After
dinner, I questioned Mj's way of taking care of my kids. I asked her why
they're always sick. She got mad, thinking I was thinking that's he was being
careless. I did not want them ill because it affects our budget. I was just
wondering why Zj and Hanna were often, almost every week or month, ill. I
think, they're overly taken care of. I suspected the electric fan.
I have
had a hard time catching sleep. It was after Mj condemned me and my 'paalam'
that I would attend a birthday celebration tomorrow night, after our overtime
work. She said, "Nakuha mo pang mag-enjoy, kahit may sakit ang mga
anak mo." I was balancing the situation.
September
15, 2007
Minutes
after I woke up, Hanna vomited. I pity her. Her body became leaner. Then, I
whispered to her, "Pagaling ka, ha? Pag gumaling ka na, Jolibee
tayo." She got up and joined me in my breakfast. She didn't eat.
She has no appetite. She's 'matamlay'.
Later
when I was taking a bath, she approached me, asking "Ba-bi tayo?" She
couldn't forget my promise to her. She repeated it many times. I pity her
again. When she wanted to come with me, she was crying and saying "Ba-bi,
Ba-bi". She thought we're going to Jolibee at that wee time. I took her
from Mj and got her down for a moment. I wanted to absent just to grant her
wish. It would be the cure for her illness. Mj was just pushing me to leave.
I left
Hanna, crying. I could still overhear "Ba-bi". My heart said
"Don't leave'. I was so weary till I got there. I tried to forget the
thought of it, but in my deepest love I failed. Yet, I managed to do my job.
I
prayed to God. I asked Him to heal my kids. I would rather spend for their
diapers, milk, and vitamins than to spend for their medicines or antibiotics.
Ten,
Ate Pilar saw my rice. She hates to see it few compared to her packed lunch.
She indeed cares. She advised me later to eat more because my work is
laborious. I couldn't afford to get sick.
I
claimed my pay slips, dated 082707 and 090307 and written P530.60 and P2075,
respectively. The P100 was deduction. It was my payment for ATM card. I was so
disappointed to the net pay. Two hours over time work was unpaid. I only have
P1100 left on my account.
Ate
Divine was collecting from me the P300 for our 'paluwagan'. I said 'I'm
quitting' and I stated my reason. She then proposed that she would pay it and I
would double-pay on the next 'hulugan' day. Good thing is she understands me.
Ten-forty-five,
I have already nothing to do. I actually dilly-dallied. I loitered while
conversing with my English-speaking workmates. They're game, huh! Through this,
I was having a strong bond and tight relationship with them. In fact, I could
name and characterize them all.
Joan
Flores—She's not my cousin, but she's the first one who tells me how kind her
grandmothers were. She's quiet.
Joan
Usero—She calls herself Anjo.
Anna
Posadas—She's not that amiable. I pity her.
Divina
Gamboa--- I found her funny. She makes me laugh. She looks like my classmate,
Cristy Garlan.
Marilou
Feliciano—She's frank, yet kind. She's not plastic.
Loreta
Pasco--- She's chubby one, who always finds time to converse with me even with
a simple question.
Yolanda
Pantig--- She's an old lady, who according to our workmates, she hates women
and likes men.
Teresita
Galang--- She's an experienced reviser, but she's always playing safe. She's
fine.
Rita
Cubillo --- She's a true-blue business woman. She's a niggard. I hate her being
a business person.
Margie
Rizaga--- She is the friendliest of all.
Pilar
Valenzuela--- She's the kindest of all. She's caring and thoughtful, too. She
calls me 'anak'.
Jowel
Ramirez--- He's a tumble dryer, who once invited me to drink after 'sahod'.
Eliezer
Sanchez—He's a chubby man, who taught me how to treat Lan.
I
would not characterize Sir Louie Baisa, Ate Jocelyn Lucero, Ate Yolanda Lorin,
Ate Josephine Alli, Benluz Labariento, and Arlyn, the encoder. They're all
nice, too.
Seven
PM, we went to Ate Malou's house. Only Eli and I were the boys in the group. I
was so glad to join them. I was also thankful that they're true to me.
After
eating, Emperador was served to us by the celebrant. Time did not pass boringly
due to the laughter. We're all laughing at each other's jokes and jests, especially
Ate Divine's.
I
started to know them more closely. They also began to ask about me and my
family.
After
we have taken the brandy, we take beer. I was drunk already, when my talkative
side came out. I began to join the conversation. We pursue speaking-in-English.
Also,
I have had a chance to talk to Kathy. We talked about her relationship to a
tomboy. I suggest, she must break up with her, for she couldn't get any
goodness from her. Man, a real man, is what she needs.
I
didn't know what time we left at Ate Malou's house. All I knew is that I was so
happy at that time.
On the
jeep, I vomited...
Twelve-ten
when I got home. I threw up again. Good thing is Mj has been alert. She caught
it using an aluminium basin. She was using in Hanna's damped cloth.
September
16, 2007
Seven
when I woke up, my head was aching. I felt nausea. My vision was rotating, too.
In short, I was experiencing a terrible hang-over. Mj was vexing me. She also
forced me to get up, but I did not. I also declined to eat breakfast.
Though
I was feeling bad, I still had a chance to talk to Mj about Hanna's check-up
yesterday. I got mad when she told me that she paid P250 and P200 for doctor's
fee and laboratory fee. I condemned it. She was reasoning out, but I pushed my
point. I exemplified my deceased sister, Hannah, who was a victim of doctor's
malpractice. I implied to her that she must not be too confident or too loyal
to the doctors.
Then,
I told her why Zj was frequently coughing and having colds. It's because she's
drinking cold water carelessly.
Lunch
time. Our viand was pork sinigang. However, I couldn't afford to eat more due to
my feeling of nausea.
It was
two when I got up and took a bath. After it, I went to Metrobank. I withdrew my
salary there. I also changed my PIN.
Then,
I went to the market to buy Hanna's antibiotic, etc...
Small
world! Janice Gobris called me, saying 'Psst!' She's familiar, but I didn't
know her name. I mean, I forgot it. She has been my classmate in RGCC. That,
I've given her the numbers of our classmates, namely: Bernadette, Leonisa, and
Sharon. They're close friends, pala. I purchased from her store, where she's
working, a 'Buy One, Take One' hotdog, named Rosh Dog. We also exchanged mobile
numbers.
I
tried to sleep early. Bad thing is it was too noisy.
September
17, 2007
Backache
disturbed the tightness of my sleep. It's indeed a sign of rheumatism. It
hurts, when it's cold.
Today
is unlucky day for me. In fact, traffic was very devastating. It made me late
for 20 minutes.
At
work, teasing has started. Ate Joan and Cathy were the promoters. Kathy seems
like admiring me really.
I
didn't sleep at 12 NN. Instead, I pursued washing. I have lots of load to do.
Afternoon.
I signed an OT. We're going to overtime work from 4 to 7, starting today till
Friday.
Three,
Catherine and the rest wanted me to eat more. They advised me. They are like my
Infinite friends. They care for me.
Revicon,
I took, is effective. I've been so active still, though it was an overtime work
already. Yet, eight PM, I stopped washing and faced my tickets.
While
on the jeep, I was praying that Hanna's well already. Thanks God, she is! In
fact, she's wide awake when I got home, While Mj and Zj were tightly asleep.
September
18, 2007
I
wanted to close my eyes again at 5, but I pushed myself to get up. I must not
be late. Thus, I arrived early at 6:30. I prepared my IPR. Today is the cut-off
day for the reports. I must pursue a god ranking, which was second. I have 101%
efficiency and 1001% productivity.
I have
plenty of 'gawa'. LAN is a disturbance. It just delayed my washing work.
Today,
teasing became more soundly that yesterday. Jowel and Eli also started. I just
rode on it.
I was
so tired at 8. Thus, I stopped and cleaned my place. I took a rest, while
talking to some of them.
Ten,
when I got home. Hanna has no fever anymore. Thanks God!
September
19, 2007
I
changed my route. Instead of riding to Bayan, I had rather rode a jeep at
Siyete y Medya, which is going to Cubao. It would lessen my effort in walking.
I never mind if it's going to increase my fare allowance.
Seven:
thirty-two when I arrived. I started immediately.
Sir
Louie called all of us. He then thanked us, for our department is the highest
department in terms of efficiency and productivity. He special mentioned me,
too.
I was
so crammed all day. I almost forgot to wee, but I was not tired, compared to
those days, which I was not taking vitamins yet. Revicon helped me a lot.
At
noon break, I took a nap.
My
co-workers were very caring about me. They keep on asking if I did have a
break, especially Catherine.
Eight,
I stopped washing. I instead did my two-days IPR.
I got
home at 10 PM.
September
20, 2007
My
body wanted to sleep again, but my mind said, "Wake up! You have lots of
works to do." That's true. I could not be absent. Sir Louie might go
insane, if I will do.
Today.
My 'kapalpakan' got out. Sir Louie said, "Dumadalas na, ha." He's
not angry, but I have to be careful. Since, I've been always a scapegoat. Some
would be free to their mistake and it would be rebound to me by Sir. It's okay.
I got
home at 10 PM. I brought home the IPR's and tickets. I taught Mj how to do it,
since I could not do it already at Eastland.
Mj
told me that she has withdrawn only P500. I did not know why, but I guessed it
would be deposited by whole tomorrow.
I
slept after writing, while Mj was cutting my tickets. However, terrible
toothache has disturbed my sleep. It made me sleepless through the night.
September
21, 2007
At two
Am, I was still wide-awake, almost crying in pain. When I fell asleep, Mj woke
me up 'naman'. I wanted to absent, but I did not want to lose some amount.
However,
in my eagerness to arrive early at EMCI, I was gone astray in Pasig. I rode on
a wrong jeep. I have no choice, but to ride off at the final destination. Then,
I rode another to Jenny's Ave.
Since
I was already late, which I could only 'in' at 11 AM, I went to Metrobank
nearby to withdraw. Sad thing is my account was still empty.
Seven:
fifty-one when I arrived at EMCI. I knew Sir Louie would warn me. However, I
was not reprimanded for he met the 1st Revising Team. I was immediately awarded
with an 'Instant Recognition Award Certificate'. The team was recognized for
being the top performers for 5 consecutive weeks. I almost cried of joy.
Sir
did not ask why I was late. I was the one, who reasoned out. I said that my
alarm clock was low-bat. Later, we were given another reward. We chose among
three—umbrella, pen, and tumbler. I preferred umbrella, since I was planning to
buy one.
Twelve,
I took a nap...
Today
is Ate Tess' birthday. She treated us with pancit at 3 PM. I was so full, that
Ate Malou o Ate Benluz gave me a plastic of rice. Ate Rita gave me her few
pancit and pork steak. They wanted me to gain weight, indeed.
At
four, I left Eastland. I went directly to Metrobank. However, my account was
still empty. It disappointed me.
I got
home at 5:30 PM--- tired and sleepy. I tried to take a nap, but I failed. Good
thing is I felt better.
I
couldn't forget the words, he said in front of my co-workers, while the
awarding was taking place. He said, "Bilib ako kay Froilan, kasi
nagtatapat ng pagkakamali. Sana sipagan at paghusayan mo pa.
Congratulations!" I then thanked him. I was going to receive a
certificate in connection with work. It was indeed my first time. Huh! I could
use it in other company. It is a plus!
I
slept early.
September
22, 2007
I
arrived early at 6:22 AM because I left home early. Thus, I have withdrawn my
partial salary at Metrobank-Tramo. It was only P2,300 now. I would have another
amount to be received on my account.
I paid
Ate Yo (P100) and Ate Rit (P100). Then, I ordered body spray from Ate Malou.
She's dealing Avon. I would need it.
Most
of my co-workers knew that Kathy was flirting with me, thus they keep on
teasing us. Geh! She's game, huh!
We
worked overtime till seven. I wanted to withdraw again, but I was scared to be
held up. I might be victimized by the hungry people. Thus, I decided to do it
tomorrow after work.
I got
home at 8:29 PM, after I visited the working place of Janice Gobris. But, she's
not there...
My
kids were awake still. Mj got disappointed by my salary. She's afraid that my
promise that we're going to dine in at Jollibee tomorrow might be postponed.
But, I assured her, it will not.
I gave
P1000 to Nanay. It's our credit to her, including our P300 weekly contribution.
September
23, 2007
Five-thirty
when I arrived at Eastland. I started washing actively and immediately.
When
Sir Louie arrived, he posted the list of nominated First Revising employees. My
name was included there. We're ten in all.
I have
a strong feeling that I could get the prize. If I would not, I would not be
sad. I would be so disappointed. My job is the most laborious in all, thus I
must be commended. The certificate and the prize at stake are both important to
me.
Three,
I was home. Hanna was sleeping, but late she awakened by noise.
After
few drama of Mj, she prepared Hanna's clothes. She tends her get-up, too.
At the
Jollibee, I was very disappointed and sad for Hanna' did not eat. She just bit
few fries and sipped pineapple juice and that's it. She didn't even bite a
portion of burger.
When
we got home, Mj and I have had a misunderstanding about my money. She wanted to
postpone again my payment to Ate Juliet. She was problemizing the
milks of the kids, so as the budget for Zj's vaccination on Wednesday. She did
not understand me. I have so many debts to pay and yet she keeps on reminding
me another burden. I could not even have a certain amount for my needs. I
wanted to enter in a barber shop to have my hair cut. I wanted to buy a coin
purse. I wanted to have a necklace. But, all of these were all just dreams. I
would rather buy milks, diapers, ant other baby's needs than to prioritize
mine.
September
24, 2007
The
alarm clock rang at 5 AM. Mj turned it off, but she did not get up. She instead
slept again. I knew she was awake. I did not rise up immediately. I thought of
doing an absent, but I preferred to be present. Thus I rose up and took on my
clothes, without even having a hot drink or a breakfast.
I do
have two biscuits in my bag. I ate one of them, while walking.
Sadly,
I was walking, thinking who was wrong between us. I was not! She's giving me
all the burdens. What she's problemizing is just an iota, compared
to mine. Besides, I could owe again, for my kids' needs. But my debt to Ate
Juliet badly needs to be settled as soon as possible because it was overly due
to my promise. I don't want to lose credibility.
When I
arrived at EMCI, I busied up myself, so that I could forget my problem. But, it
failed me.
Ten, I
asked Kathy if I could owe from her even P100. She never failed me.
Past
ten, Ate Malou handed me the body spray (Black Suede), I ordered from her.
I did
not meet my quota today. We have no enough 'gawa'. In fact, we could have no
overtime work today. Maybe, it's going to last till Friday. I did not know if I
would be sad or would be glad about it. I need money, but I have to have a rest
and enough sleep.
Walking
through the rain is indeed fun. I enjoyed it at 5 PM, when I was going home. It
is due to two reasons: I was eating an asado siopao and I have
an umbrella and jacket.
Hanna
was very glad to see me. I missed her, too. However, I couldn't show the same
for her because I lied down immediately. I was not tired, but I have to keep
quiet and to be aloof.
It was
seven when I have had a chance to cuddle up Zildjian. Unfortunately, I could
feel his temperature. It was not normal. That's why he was wearing socks. He's
feverish. Though, it's not that high, I knew he's not that active. It annoyed
me, especially when they planned to buy Amoxicillin. I began to wonder why he
and Hanna had always sickness. I hate the fact that my salary was being spent
mostly on their medicines. I could not even buy them vitamins because the
antibiotics and medicines were the needed ones. I hate the fact that they were
not cared of rightly. I knew Mj was still drinking cold water, which makes Zj
coughs and gains cold. I think, she must be blamed for it. I told her many
times, but she's indeed a hard-headed person. I have once told her that if he
gets sick again, she will bear the expense. She must, now!
After
dinner, which was like a breakfast, I sat, for a few minutes in front of the TV
and I started to catch sleep under my blanket.
September
25, 2007
When
the clock rang at 4:50, I did not rise up immediately. I waited if Mj would do
the first move. But, she did not. Thus, I got up and went to CR. Minutes later
I heard her get up and she started boiling water. It gladdened me. She then
treated me hot coffee and breakfast. I ate without talking to her. I left
without even kissing my kids, too.
Six-eighteen
when I arrived at EMCI. I did not punch my ID yet. Instead, I went in and
prepared my 'gawa'. But when I went out, I was prohibited by a kind lady guard,
who's been kind to me since then. She asked why I've been even thinner now. I
reasoned and blamed the heaviness of my work.
When I
came back from the bundee clock, she then asked me how many kids di I have and
how old my wife is. I told her the truth. She commented that I made a wrong
timing of getting into a family. She finally offered me rice, so that I could
save. I was so shy to receive it, but I promised that I would get it from her
when the break time comes.
She's very
kind to me, but I think I couldn't accept her kindness. It's all a sort of
pity. I would instead do something, so that I could gain weight.
Ten. I
did not see her. I instead buy rice in the canteen.
Twelve.
I was very hungry. Thus, I went to my locker and munch my biscuits there.
Before
four, I was exhausted already. I realized that I really have to take vitamins
every day.
We
have had an overtime work. It was still seven. I tried to be active and
energized. I tried to get more tickets for quota's sake.
I got
home at eight. Zj's okay now. Hanna was still wide-awake, so as my
parents-in-law. Mj treated me dinner.
After
eating, I started to catch sleep. I still did not talk to Mj. But, she already
prepared my clothes. She hung it.
September
26, 2007
It was
not the alarm clock that wakes me up, it was Zildjian's loud cry. I got up to
get him, but Nanay took care of him. I then saw Mj in the kitchen, starting to
prepare my 'baon'. She was cooking rice. It's the first time ever, yet, I
showed her no emotion. I was quietly preparing myself. I was treated by her
with hot coffee and she was there in front, but we don't talk. I knew my
in-laws knew about our state, but I don't care.
I met
the lady guard again. She said, "Napanis tuloy..." I begged her
pardon and explained why I did not get the rice. I said that in my hunger, I
was tempted to enter immediately in the canteen. I think, she believed in me.
Before we parted ways, she offered me again, but I told her that I have 'baon'.
We
have so many 'gawa', but I think I haven't met my quota.
Tired
at more than 11 hours of hours, I was. Thus, before seven PM, I stopped
working. It was when I finished cleansing the two washing machines. Sir Louie
directed me to do so because white fabrics turned pinkish. Good thing is I
wasn't blamed. Jowel might be the culprit.
Eight-ten
when I got home. My kids were still awake. Hanna was still active. Zj was not
that happy. I knew he underwent vaccination today.
September
27, 2007
I got
up when the alarm clock rang. Mj was still sleeping. She was just disturbed
when I went out the mosquito net. Nanay was cooking fried rice when I saw her.
She cooked rice, too. Before Mj rose up, she already has made cups of coffee
for us. I appreciate her. However, I was quiet when I was taking my breakfast.
Before
five-thirty, I left home. It was when Zildjian woke up. I kissed and cuddled
him up for a few seconds. I have had a chance to kiss my sleeping daughter,
too.
Six-eighteen
when I arrived at EMCI. Thus, I decided to eat first my packed 'baon', which
were hotdogs and rice. I saved ¾ of my rice for the break time.
I
started early. I also pursued cleansing the machines. However at 9 AM, Sir
called me to tell me that I was indeed the culprit. He blamed me not. He was
blaming the washing machines. I felt bad for myself. I was so ashamed. Thus, I
accepted it, though I knew it was not the washing machine that made it.
Later,
Sir told me that it was the extractor that made the white fabrics turned
pinkish. He directed me to clean it. So I did. However, I still was very sad. I
was thinking of quitting the job. I've always been 'palpak'. Good thing is Sir
Louie is kind. He never condemned me. He just said "Last na
'to."
It was
after lunch break when my sad feeling has gone. I totally accepted the fact
that it's part of learning. But, I have to be extra-careful, so that it would
not happen again.
I have
new batch of co-workers. One of them is Rosalie Flores. I talked to her last
day, which my mother is Flores too. Thus, I was calling her 'cousin'. She's
fine, huh!
Four
PM, it was the beginning of our overtime work. I was so active. I have got lots
of loads, too.
Six-thirty,
I stopped washing and I faced my IPR.
Eight,
I was home. Only Hanna was still awake. Mj was irritated. I think, I have to
talk to her as soon as possible. I kissed my daughter, before I closed my eyes.
She replied, "Go nay". "Good night!" I told her.
September
28, 2007
Mj was
the first one who got up. She them immediately cooked rice. Later Zj cried.
Nanay took him out. I think we disturbed their sleeps.
Since
we have no breakfast, I handed P20 to Mj for 'pandesal'.
Mj
prepared for me beforehand two chops of fried fish. She also added pandesal'
with peanut butter fillings on my bag. In return, I gave her my ATM card and
told her to withdraw for kids' needs.
I
kissed sleeping Hanna and wide-awake Zildjian before I left.
Happily
I walked through jeepney terminal. i was indeed chanting a song--- a song which
has no relation with my feeling, "Boulevard of Broken Dreams'.
Minutes
before 6:30 AM, when I arrived. I waited till the required time of getting-in.
I started washing immediately. I have two days credit of IPR, thus I have to
meet it today.
Ten-forty,
I was rough-drafting some suggestions to be dropped on the box. Here are the
areas to be suggested: time of work, high prices in canteen, reward for the top
performers, pay slip and payroll system, rules and regulation's manual.
I just
did not know when to do it. i could not have time--- free time.
Twelve,
I stopped washing and faced my IPR. Wew! I have got do many lacking.
Three,
I met Mam Lea, HRD Personnel. She said, "Froilan, magpagupit ka
nga. Ang haba ng buhok ko." I answered, "Bukas na po
kasi wala pa suweldo." I felt glad that she still knew me. I
reckon, I'm 'sikat na'. Hehe. Thus, I have to have a new haircut. I will show
to her that I did.
Before
four, Sir hailed me and directed to rewash those fabrics that I accidentally
damaged. He instructed me new procedure. But, he told me that it was not a
trigger. I could do it, whenever I want to.
Past
four, I could feel flu approaching my system. I could also feel colds. My body
started to ache. I wanted to lie down. Thus, it made me low-bat. My speed
lowered down.
Before
seven, I successfully relieved the damaged fabrics. I was very glad for that
result. I then think of way how to thank Sir Louie for giving me the chance to
mend it.
We
over time work till seven. I rushed home. I got home at 8:10. I was exhausted.
Mj
showed me the receipt of her withdrawal. She only has withdrawn P600. I computed
it. It was correct.
I did
not tell her that I was sick. Instead, I sleep early.
September
29, 2007
Great
rain disturbed my sleep. It was past three. I have had a hard time catching
sleep again. Plus, bad feeling was starting to grow. I wanted to absent. But, I
have to work.
I
waited for Mj to get up. When she did, she immediately cooked rice. She has no
clue about my sickness, till I left to Eastland.
Slowly,
I walked through the rain. I was afraid I might collapse. Good thing I arrived
at Eastland early and safe.
Past
eight, I asked Sir Louie if I could go home. I told him that I have flu. He did
not disagree. Then, I instructed Fritz about the washing procedures. He was
going to do my job temporarily.
Nine,
my flu became worse. I wanted to lie down. I couldn't wait for 11 AM. But, I
can't do nothing. I still washed. Though, I took it slow it still made me feel
bad.
Ten, I
tried to eat, despite of my loss of taste. Bad thing is I never made it. There
were left over rice and viand.
Past
ten, Ate Yolanda handed me down two Paracetamol tablets. I took in one of them.
I hoped it would make me better. However, I was decided to go home.
Ate
Malou taught me how to make an undertime slip or gate pass. It was after she
kidded me. She told me also that I have to take vitamins because the nature of
my work needs resistance and energy. \
I left
EMCI at 11:30. The lady guard advised me to get well soon because if I would
still be absent for 3 consecutive days, I would be fired.
It was
when great rain fell. My umbrella seemed useless. It was blown away. The rain
penetrated on it. Thus, I have to stop over.
Before
taking a ride, I went to Metrobank. I was very frustrated, though I knew that
our salary would be given on Monday, when I saw the signage: Offline. I have no
money already on Monday. I have to have my hair cut. I have to buy vitamins,
Hay! Devastating! I was so mad! I wanted to condemn accounting department for
two weeks delay of our salary. They're fooling us already. ATM did not help it.
Actually it jeopardizes our lives.
It was
raining still when I rode off the jeepney. I have no choice but to walk home,
despite of my condition.
When I
arrived home, Mj approached me immediately. She then has known that I have flu.
She directed Michael to withdraw. However, he has withdrawn nothing. Alas! I
wanted to go to Bautista tomorrow, for its Jano's birthday. I wanted to pay
him, too.
I was
also worrying about my debt to Ate Juliet. I knew she was wondering too, why.
She couldn't hear from me.
I have
no fever, but my head was aching terribly.
Before
I sleep, I made a rough-draft of suggestions, which I'm going to drop in the
suggestion drop box. It goes like these:
1.
Changing the regular time of work. Sleep is one of the basic needs of every
individual. It affects the workers very much. Thus, I suggest, change the time
of work, from 7:00-4:00 to 8:00-5:00. It will make us more productive. A worker
who has lack of sleep is less productive. The number of reject increases, as
well.
2.
Lowering down the prices at the canteen. The prices at the E<CI canteen are
mostly unreasonable. It jeopardizes our budget. Because of this, most of us
took our hunger for granted. That's why I'm suggesting the lowering down of the
prices of the foods at the canteen. Hungry worker often fails to be efficient
and productive.
3.
Reformatting the payroll system. Since there's 1 week 'pondo', why pay slips
and salaries are always given late? We work hard every day, so that we could
have better lives. Late salary affects us badly. Therefore, I suggest the
reformatting of the payroll system. No more 'chopped-chopped' salaries! No more
excesses. Make only one payslip, including the total overtime for one week,
basic pay, other earnings, and allowance. Then, deduct us also with all
deductions make it weekly. If there's really a need to have a one week 'pondo',
so be it. But, I think, you must pay us on time and in whole. You could save
ink and paper on this, accounting effort, as well. Instead of having two or
more payslips, make it one. We deserve on-time and complete or whole salary.
4.
Furnishing every employee with rules and regulations manual. Frankly, when I
signed the contract at HRD, I never had a chance to read the rules and
regulations. And, though, there's one, posted on the bulletin board, I still
have no chance to read and comprehend them all, especially the penalties. I
suggest, furnish us with rules and regulations manual. Don't think that it is
against your cost reduction program. You can charge it on us. But, don't forget
its advantages. It will make us more abreast with the Don'ts and Do's of EMCI.
If we do have copies, violations would be avoided. Violation-free company is a
quality firm.
I
tried to catch sleep, despite of what I was feeling.
September
30, 2007
At wee
time, I was already wide-awake. I suffered from terrible headache till day
light.
I have
been a bed-ridden for one day. Mj was serving me foods on the bed. I only get
up when I would pee.
Alas!
I have taken a tablet of paracetamol, my headache’s gone. Yet I stayed on the
bed, hoping to retrieve sleepless times. I think I have fallen asleep somehow.
It was
five when I got up and watched TV, but I did not stay in front for a long time.
I have to sleep early because I never completed 8 hours of sleep last night.
