Half way through

Today is Day 4 in Manila.. I am enjoying myself here but I do miss my darling dearly and of course my home.. Surprisingly I also miss the office .... the people, the familiarity....
Lorraine sent me an email with a picture of the producers, Anisa and Nonie with a message about missing me. I was so touched by that email. I think that this is the first time in my stint at Comfori that people in the office have actually done something like that. I mean yes some of them before have celebrated my birthday and also bought me a welcome back cake after my wedding, but this... this is different.

So Monday I went back at 12am... came to work on Tuesday at 9am... busy day as usual and a lot of things to take care off. But i liked it. Jean started telling me about the spirits that haunt our office and this building. It really freaked me out. Eric(the building supervisor)treated Jean and I to Starbucks and as we sat there and chatted he also added on about the stories in his last 8 years working here.

It seems there are a few spirits here and a few of the staff have seen them and also other tenants of the building :
a. A small boy running around the office
b. An American in a blue suit walking thru walls
c. the freakiest one - an old lady appears in front of you and just stands there with her head bowed

Gosh I was really freaked out... When I went back to the hotel that night - i couldnt sleep the whole night. I ended up putting on all the lights in the room...

So half dead I went to work yesterday at 8am. And I told Jean that there was no way I was going back to my hotel that night.. so what I did was work until 4pm then I went back to the hotel and slept for 2 and a half hours and then came back to the office and worked through the night with the US team. I made Jean follow me to the toilet everytime I needed to go.. ahahaha!

That was an experience!!! I felt like i was having a hangover. my head was so heavy and my eyes were burning. At about 12.45am Jean and I went to Starbucks to buy coffee... i desperately needed it.. didnt help much though.

At about 2am i lay down on the couch and tried to sleep but lo and behold earlier during the day I pulled my back muscle so i was in pain and i finally gave up and came back on to the computer.

At least I had the people here to keep me awake by discussing work and stuff... Mmarc went to 7-E to buy food so I got him to buy a bottle of Orange Vodka which we will drink tomorrow night...!

So anyways, I went back to the hotel about 6.45am this morning, slept until 10am and then after having my shower, I realised I missed breakfast. Oh well. I went to the hair saloon across the street to get my hair washed and blown and decided to do a pedicure and a foot spa. Can you believe it for the pedicure, footspa and hair wash and blow, all i paid was RM38!!! And I have to say the girl did a great job with the pedicure and footspa.

I went to office from there at about 1somethingpm. Grabbed a meal on the go and a caramel machiato from 7-E and started working. Went to Maybank at 3pm to finalise the banking stuff then Jean and I went to Landmark. I bought some stuff for my sis and myself and then we went to buy fans for the office and then back to office. We grabbed dinner from 7-E again and are carrying on with work.

The US team are slowly trickling in. They start work at 9pm so all should be here soon. It's going to be another all nighter with them... Hope I dont pass out!! hahahaha

Till the next time....
