Diary of an OFW in Macau

Day 41 @w - Hopefully it's my last day period

November 14, 2023

11:37am - Oh my oh my, I finished early. Damn. I should have started at 8:30. Now this is why I should start late. Aigoo. My back aches. It started last night and I did the bridge position for 8 minutes 3 times and it felt good. But again it's aching now. Also my hands and feet are super dry. It's as if I just peeled sayote. As if there is glue on my hands. My feet on the other hand feels as if I had something - tiny things stuck elsewhere. And those are dead skins. And I can't cut them.

10:18pm - I am having trouble cause my back aches more and more. It's only for a bit yesterday but now it aches for the day. And I guess it's due to cross stitching so tomorrow I will stop cross stitching for a moment and see the result. I can't work with my lower back aching everytime I bend down. Also I think I sprained my right wrist cause it hurts when I bend it extra back or front. That's why I need to buy compression items. To minimize the damage of my work. If only I can mop not with my hands but with my feet then that would be a delight. Actually it's better if I have an actual mop like the one with handle and only needs to be pulled to squeeze the water out. That would be a very delightful convenience. Also it will prevent the hair from being left behind. I'm starting to get bored of my work. And it's starting to erode my body which I have tried to beautify for years. All those skin care routine and things I applied are put to dust. Aigoo, my skin is the only thing I have confidence on. Why is it that I have to sacrifice it for money? Hehe. Money makes the world go round indeed. <Deep silent sigh> it's hard living in a capitalist world. I miss the old days where you only need to work hard and you can eat 3to 5 times a day. Cause everything and everyone aren't that privy to getting paid. Like you can go outside and walks then ask if it's okay to pick the fruits of that tree. Nobody would say no cause they share food. The essence of bayanihan is alive. Unlike now where everything needs to be paid before tasting. People even put baracades on their property and watch the fruits become rotten than give it away. How bad is the generation becoming.
