I didn’t know how exhausted I was until I woke up at 10:30 am today. My body was compensating for the four-hour-sleep-a-day work-week I just had.

Last night I had a 5-hr dinner with two friends near T. Morato in QC. I brought M a 250g slab of mozzarella cheese made from carabao’s milk, which is one of the specialties of my hometown.

I asked M if I should go for the Manila bureau chief position of a rival newswire. I was told by Fairygaymother K that position was vacated by MS, who moved up to a more regional role.

M told me that he would love that for me BUT my life as I know it would never be the same. That job is too life-consuming. Would I want that for myself when I have kids and I live outside of Metro Manila, he asked.

I know it would be like that because fairygaymother K doesn’t want the position that’s why he was passing it on to me.

I’m not sure… I quit being a bureau chief exactly last year because I was too stressed so joining this rival may not be the wisest thing.

I’ll think about it.
