Working in Makati Again!
My sister and I got home from our dinner with Dad very late, I think got home at around midnight or something like that. We tried feeding Milktea some of the steak, but he didn't like it that much. For some reason, I wasn't able to sleep even though I was already so exhausted and it's way past midnight now. I just continued using my phone until 2 a.m. and I had fallen asleep by then.
I had set my alarm to 6:20 a.m. because we were supposed to visit on-site in Makati. I was going to work at a building in Makati CBD. When my alarm went off, I thankfully woke up on time even though I felt like shit and I wanted more sleep. I just told myself that I'll be getting Starbucks in the morning to make up for my sleepiness. I got ready and, while I faced a bit of difficulty trying to get a motorcycle ride at 7 a.m., I just settled for a car ride and booked one via Grab, thankfully. It was nice and I talked to LK while my trip was going on. It's cute that she sent me a reminder about thinking that a person already loving themselves and then never actually taking care of themselves when they need it the most. It made me reflect on my current state and how I essentially had let myself go, even way before 2022. It was something to also think about because I had already let myself go further, and eventually I shared my latest blog post with LK for her to read after her duty.
Eventually, I arrived at The Enterprise Center. I stopped here because I read that there was a Starbucks here and it was just around the building where I was going to work today. It turns out that the Starbucks isn't nearby so I just walked around the building, took a few pics of cats, and eventually went back to the Starbucks I used to visit back when I worked at the PNB Makati Center. It sure brought back memories. I order a white chocolate mocha and eventually walk my way to the building. IT. WAS. A. LONG. WALK.
I eventually got to the building on time, surprisingly, although I was tired from having to walk this much. For the rest of the day, nothing much happened. I was very attentive during my time in the office, though. After our meeting for the day wrapped up, we eventually went home and I was able to book a ride quickly. I thought that I would still see my sister at home but I didn't really catch her by the time I arrived. I still had some time in my shift but I mainly coasted through work just fine.
In the evening, Naomi and I watched a movie together. Since it was my turn to pick a film, we watched Click (2006) and it's probably my favorite Adam Sandler movie. We enjoyed it, despite suffering a few technical hiccups. I heard Naomi laugh a few times during the movie and I also quipped a few comments throughout. It was nice to hear that she thought it was a good movie, too, and that she cried in some parts. After talking about a few more things, we eventually had to leave the call to go to sleep, especially me since I had another big day tomorrow.
