I definitely looked like a monster yesterday with my eyes all puffy from crying so hard. Good thing I have great officemates who tried to cheer me up: Prec gave me a hug, Pao danced ala macho dancer, Sonny played hoops on my wastebasket and others gave comforting words. I love these people.
I intended to work until around 10 pm so that I could forget about Ash but our IT was copying files and I wasn’t allowed to touch my PC! Argghh! But I couldn’t bring myself to go home early coz I knew I’d just cry even more. So I asked around the office if anyone would want to go out with me for a drink. They looked at each other and said, “Hindi ka naman umiinom e.” “E di iced tea tayo! Pwede na ba yun?”, I asked. They probably didn’t want to offend me in my state. But I wasn’t persuasive enough….. So there I was, all depressed and ugly walking at the walkway. Then I thought - maybe I could drop by Powerbooks in Greenbelt. There, I was consoled by Ignorance (by Milan Kundera) and a latte. A wonderful book indeed! It almost made me forget about my pathetic love life.
