Friday Night After Six : Freaky Friday

Its Friday again.  Araw ng suweldo.  After a lunch with my officemates, I left for a trip to Makati.  I need to get my check.  Well, i could say na di pa naman ako kinakapos pero overdue na yung check na 'yun.  It took me almost 15 to 20 minutes tops on a cab ride to Makati.  Much earlier than usual.  So I expect that I can go back to work earlier than I expect.

Chapter 7 : Freaky Friday

Pero kung mamalasin ka nga naman.  My check is marked for deposit and I can't get it in cash.  Wala pa akong existing bank account so wala akong paglalagyan ng suweldo ko.  So I have to wait for almost an hour for my checked to be counter signed.

An hour passed.  Ayus!  Nagmadali ako bumaba ng building.  Good thing the bank is just on the other side of the street.  Narating ko agad ang bangko.  The guard told me to just fall in line.  Lalo pa akong napangiti nang makita kong konti pa lamang ang nakapila.  Sinasabi ko na sa sarili ko na, i will be at the office in no time.  Pero halos isang oras din ang lumipas.  Hindi gumalaw ang pila.  Hindi ko na natiis.  Nagtanong na ako sa isang clerk.  Amp!!!  Offline daw ang mga linya nila.  Anak ng!!!  But the head clerk told us that there system will soon go online kaya maghintay na lang daw kami.  After standing there for a couple of minutes, there system is back in line.

Because of those obstructions, sa halip na makabalik ako ng office before 3pm, halos alas-5 na ako ng hapon nakarating.  Siyempre nakakahiya.  Matagal akong nawala.  Ginamit ko 'yung oras ng opisina para sa bagay na walang kinalaman sa company.  i feel so guilty.  Kaya after six, I decided to stay for a while to make up those hours of absence.

Its almost past 7:00pm na ng magkayayaan nang pumunta ng Sidebar.  But everyone decided to take a quick meal first on a nearby fastfood.  After that we go straight to the bar.  Nauna na doon ang iba naming kasama na dumating doon bago pa mag 6pm.  They thought we will not appear that night.  Umupo ako sa upuan at tinungga ko na ang isang beer na walang gumagalaw.  But as I drink my booze, bigla na lang umikot ang paningin ko.  Nag-uumpisa pa lang naman akong uminom kaya malabong lasing ako.  Ilang minuto pa ang lumipas, naramdaman kong nanlalambot na ako.  Freaky and weird pero ganoon talaga yung naramdaman ko noong gabing iyon.  As if I'm completely burned out.

After an hour, I decided to settle my bill.  After drinking two bottles, I felt like I'm getting sick.  Sumabay na ako sa ibang maaga ring umalis.  We parted ways after crossing the alley.  I didn't even bid them goodbye dahil di ko na kayang lumingon sa sobrang sakit ng ulo ko.
