[On-Going] Get a Life Heidi

TWO: MY BODY IS VERY TIRED, I NEED A BREAK 

Another day with the same day that is a day and will always be a day. Yes, I'm back and I'm ready to work again. My schedules right now are tight compared to yesterday.

I sip my mug of hot Almonds Milk and review every inch of my schedule for today so that I can't forget before I go to some serious work to be done. This is trying, I'm honest, but whenever I want to rest my body just want to work.

I have nothing to do with that, watching to much movies with workaholic businessmen and women are my favourites but I think that's not the cause since my father is also workaholic but he changed when she met my mother who was a popular actress before.

Oh, right. I actually have meeting today that requires my brother's presence. The client said that it's alright if it's only me but I think my brother's not busy as I do, although we both have the same positions in both companies.

Agnes, can call my directly to my brother or my brother's secretary. I opened the door to the next room and knock on the door post to call her attention.

"Agnes, can you call my twin brother and tell him about the meeting we're having today. S'il vous plait.." I asked my secretary who is typing in her computer.

"Yes, ma'am right away.." She replied while entering the number of my twin.

I gave her a smile and went back inside my office. How many meetings do I have today? Don't tell me a dozen. I think I need a break, maybe just for a day or three. My body's getting weak, very weak, to work. I can't handle it anymore.

The schedule for tomorrow is not that tight so I think I can move them to when I want it. Anyway, I'm the CEO of this company. My orders are the orders to be followed.

What am I going to do when I have a day-off. Sleep for the whole day or doing some exercise which I don't do for 28 years of being alive. Must I ask someone who is an expert of being a couch potato: How to rest in your day-off?

Alright, enough with the day-off, I have a lot of work to be done. I set aside my schedule for today and stack the papers properly for me to sign.

Just as the pen touch the paper my silent phone starts to right like a baby. God, who is it?! Can't you see I'm busy with my work! That phone call doesn't need to be answered since I know very well if a client is calling, they will call my secretary first.

I turned my phone completely off and put it in my bag. Again, I have to focus on my work right now. Before signing the papers I rub some Aromatherapy Oil in my head and inhale deeply so that I can relax a little while working.

"So, you're having a day-off tomorrow? Congratulation, sister.." My brother said while giving me some water.

"Thanks you always know what to say to make me feel better." I drink all the water in the glass and place it on the table.

Dinner for today is Sinigang, I miss this kind of food especially when I'm stuck in France doing my work. It's a good thing that our maids here in Paris are Filipinos, I can speak Filipino whenever I want. The problem is I can't really speak it well.

That's the reason why I went to collage in the Philippines, so that I can speak Filipino fluently. And now, my grammar of that language is deteriorating.

"Manang, nasabi ba ni Dad kung kailan siya uuwi?" My brother asked Manang Fe.

She shook her head while pouring us water on our glasses. "Hindi po, sir."
