Day 14

I woke up this morning and my initial feeling was worry for my mother. Today she is going on surgery for her deteriorating eyesight. Due to the time difference, I woke up at the very hour of her scheduled procedure. I was really hard-pressed to find someone to talk to back in Manila. Aki has not yet called in to tell me what has happened, apparently nobody else in the hospital are immediately reachable. It really annoys me since I gave specific instructions to keep me well informed about this day. This silence worries me greatly too, because knowing all too well how the family communicates, silence is never good news.

Finally, I decided to turn to my company e-mails before preparing for work. Alas! Destiny has found a way to worsen my mood to yet another level. The list of promoted people came out. Need I say, I am not in a good mood right now. I just want to beat people up.
