A very early morning in the detailed sense

It's 6:42 am now and I'm obviously the only one in our department..
Ma needed a driver to the pier this morning and I felt obliged to volunteer without taking into account my sore foot from yesterday.

We left the house exactly 5:05am to catch the 6am float.. I know, how early..Errr, naminaw sa alarm?.
I love the streets during that time - just a few cars- reminding me of how Cebu once was..
It was refreshing to see how a city sleeps - few lights, no traffic, air is cooler, sky slightly illuminated..
Driving was stress free..
The clutch, however, became my least favorite pedal - my left foot just wouldn't stop aching and cooperate..
What aggravation - more potent than coffee to fully wake me up.

Walking from the looong parking area was nothing short of remarkable..
Tina of AITP is evil

The joggers and walkers along the village did their routines - suya ko, they have time or rather take the time for healthy pursuits..
Sige lang, I have a book and yoga mat already(thanks to Han), now all I need is more inner strength to bully myself to work my ass.. plus a brain transplant.

I planned to get a hearty breakfast in our eDiner but to my surprise, they were closed..darn
So I went strait to our building and saw clusters of call center night-shifters taking their breakfast.
I could hear them talk in all weird languages.. Was that English?.. Nobody can really say..
Bagulbol about office issues and other yaks..
I almost broke off laughing but thanks to the magazine in front of me I read instead.
Menchu is hosting umm.. I forgot.. basta she has a show..
My gash, I remember her a few years back as a bar-girl during their Marlborough stint..
She also had convulsions at one of our lakaws in college or was it high school..
In fairness she looks pretty all glammed up.
Blah- blah, wa ko nalingaw sa mag.. I quickly got my luncheon meat and egg breakfast and headed up to the office.

So I didn't come to work early just for the heck of it -although I like the feeling and the ambiance of the office - so quiet with a few murmurs from other cubicles.
I came across people I didn't even know existed- people from the night shift of customer service dept.
And I couldn't get over one girl who gave me a full smile saying good morning - she never smiled at me that way before.

Early mornings are for morning people and I am not one of them..
time check: 7:26am Darn, I'm no longer alone in the office..
