Last night was the first official night in the unit. I’ve slept six times here already and it was only yesterday that I felt so uncomfortable. First the smell of my closet was wrong. Something on the wood (varnish?) makes my eyes water. Then my new sheets seemed too new–the fabric was too rough against my skin. It wasn’t the same as the sheets at home. And worst of all I, perpetrator of independence, fell into a sobbing wreck. My brother had to see it.
And as I was telling the story to my co-worker…water started falling from my eye.
(Well my co-workers were supportive. Especially the crayons team which I truly truly appreciated)
What a baby.
One of my brothers tattled on me. My mother called me on my cell telling me that she’s getting linen spray for my sheets. Lol.
So today I had to commute to and from the unit. Don’t get me wrong. Back in college I used to commute a lot. When I started working I had the privilege of having the driver around. So now even that has been taken away (and 8 hours of airconditioning, I have to give that up since I’m paying for the electricity). It’s back to public transportation–which isn’t so bad since I use either the MRT, the FX, or the cab.
It took me an hour to get home from the outskirts of Pasig to Manda. I was a bit annoyed when I got here because I was a mess and I didn’t know which shortcuts to go. Tomorrow’s another day to find out the fastest way out of here to Tiende.
Some highlights of the day:
1. I found the secret passage from Boni to Libertad to Shaw. Thanks to the smart cab driver this morning.
2. The youngest ended up burning his first sinaing. Naka-rice cooker na yun ha.
3. The sibs and I swam at the downstairs pool to “vent” our frustration. Total time spent: 30 minutes. Because a stray cat started to lap at the water (Eww I know).
4. I got to YM with my ex-boss who offered a wealth of advise (which woke up my sleeping determination).
