Tuesday, 4 September 2007  My new mantra. I'm finally in Cebu. I haven't had time to get away from the hotel to see the sights though. It has been extremely busy here and I'm being pulled in from one task to the next. Sometimes I feel like a lemming in that I don't really have a clue as to what the hell I'm supposed to do. People here--the godawful client to be exact--tend to assume I'm psychic. I wonder if they can tell I see myself giving them a big kick in their fugly behinds after all the slave labor they make me do on a minute-to-minute basis. GODDDD. There's this guy who's not really in charge--he's just one of the friggin alalay staff for crying out loud--who feels like he has the right to talk down on me after I pointedly informed him that whatever equipment they needed had to be coordinated and cleared with the hotel. The friggin toad actually had the gall to roll his eyes at me and he kept on insisting that this was my job because I was the event organizer. I wanted to be polite at first but the eye roll was where I drew the line. I waited until he finished doing his thing before I gave him the coldest stare in the whole history of mankind. Bring it on he-bitch. This friggin association is the worst client ever. I've had my share of impossible ones but these guys are just pure eviiiil. What a malicious lot! As in I can't even begin to explain it! They treat us like slaves and it's not like they pay us enough for it. ASS!!! Grrrr it's a good thing my boss told me to take a breather up in my room because I would've smacked that fugly skunk right on the face!!! Ok. Rant over. Well, I'll stop whining anyway. I think one of my officemates is flirting with me. He keeps on teasing me to this guy but then he calls me early this morning and he tells me he wants to talk to me alone and that he wants to sit beside me during breakfast. Great. Honestly. This is the last thing I need right now. More mind games. I want to go escape to the beach!!! I thought our hotel was by the beach but it turns out we're smack in the middle of city center. Suddenly I miss Davao. Cebu's a bit like Metro Manila already. It was definitely way different from the Cebu I visited some number of years ago. Okay I was twelve when I last came here. So the difference is drastic. Then again I haven't really gone around much so I can't really tell. And the stress from work isn't really helping. GAWD. Take it easy tricia. Oooh. I had a moment of deja vu when I saw the Marco Polo hotel from my bedroom window. It's located on a hilltop and I remember having a dream about a hotel on a hilltop once. And at the exact time I happened to look outside my window, the sun was shining down on the hotel. Exactly like my dream! Maybe I ought to go there now. Wah. Sweet escape, where are you??
