Friday started with me and someone still in "VHH" and we were watching One Missed Call (2003). She was just watching and it didn't seem that scary to her. When I was watching, it didn't scare me that much either. The pacing of the movie was kind of off, too, since most of the things happened in the first hour of the movie. It was 2 hours long and the second part just felt so long and I kind of lost interest, honestly, but someone was still watching as intently as she could. It was eventually late for me but I was able to sleep with the many hours that I had left.

I woke up feeling so much in pain, for some reason. I had this severe stiff neck pain, too. But whatever, I'm determined to power through it and get to work. I was still able to go to work, despite having difficulty getting a ride there. My workday was pretty usual but there were a lot of people here in the office again today so I sat separate from my usual coworkers, but it was fine.

I still had lunch out with them and we ate at the food court in Glorietta. I got Pepper Lunch this time and I got matcha from Pickup Coffee because I needed something more to wake me up. When I placed my coffee on the tray that had my food from Pepper Lunch, it was heavy and a bit unbalanced. I went to our table and I just dropped the additional drink I had from Pepper Lunch! I spilled the cucumber juice all over the floor! Fuck! I had to ask a janitor to clean it up, which was kinda sad because I had to inconvenience someone and I lost my drink, too. But I still ate and had a fun lunch with them. They kept teasing me to treat them out since I just got regularized and I agreed anyway. We ate and some of them teased me for spilling the drink, but it was all in good fun. There also was that joke that I always get food worth more than 500 Pesos. But after eating, we all went back to the office.

For the rest of the day, I was battling between this sharp pain and working on this script. I was able to finish it early, but still, I had to just fight through the pain. I took a rest at the break room for a bit and then went back to work. My coworkers were happy that I finished the script, though, and they suggested one more feature. I'm glad I was able to add that additional feature, too. My coworkers also sent me a calendar invite for me to treat them out, which was nice because they settled on some Thai restaurant that hopefully won't break my bank this month. In the evening, we all went home separately and I stayed for an hour or so more in the office just doing some additional tasks from my boss and cleaning up my script. I eventually finished it and booked a car ride home because I was so tired and I honestly needed a breather.

I got home at around 10 or so and it was pretty late. Someone still asked Luan to play with them but she eventually had work things to do so we just called the game off. We both got into a call in "VHH" and I talked to them and accompanied them all night because it was a Friday.
