thoughts….

it's tuesday already? dang, i have one more night to sleep properly, then it's back to work.

last week, the company arranged for us to be billeted at the legend villas just in case supertyphoon reming made it impossible for us to go home. well, we all know now that the typhoon spared manila on friday morning, so most of us went home. but the reservations were still there, so there were some (me included) who availed of the accommodations.

so there we were, 3 girls (gracie, ella and me) and a guy (richard) from our team who were convinced to stay. after our shift we first had lunch at metrowalk in ortigas, at the brazil! brazil! restaurant. mommy leslie wanted to have lunch at capische, but since it was still closed, we opted for the resto next door. they had a buffet lunch featuring barbecued meat and a whole lot more, sao paolo style. i saw that style featured in discovery travel and living, and i knew how to deal with it. so we had salads, fish, potatoes, some pasta, strawberry cake, and a whole lot of meat (pork, beef, chicken and sausage)…eat all you can, till my tummy almost burst and we almost fell asleep on the table.

after that satisfying lunch we headed to the starbucks across the resto where i got me a short chamomile tea to calm my stomach and hopefully make me fall asleep. then we checked into the hotel. there were 10 of us, 8 girls and 2 guys, and another 2 girls followed.

at our unit (it's not really a hotel room, more like a unit with a kitchenette and living area downstairs and a bedroom upstairs with 6 beds and a bathroom), we chose our beds and mommy les said she was going to sleep. so ella, gracie and i, together with richard, went to pioneer mall to get some sleepwear and toiletries. we went back to the hotel at around 2:45pm, and after taking a bath we tried to go to sleep.

i woke up at around 9pm, bathed, and watched a little tv while waiting for my mates. mommy les and the two other girls who roomed with us had already left earlier, so we had the unit to ourselves. we left the hotel at around 10:40pm, and we were almost late.

after our shift the next day we went back to the hotel to get our stuff and to avail of the free breakfast. then we went home.

that's all.
