Mela and Me

When I started working at SITEL Philippines I never knew I would meet the craziest person in the world and her name is Mela Reyes. We used to call her CrazyMela. Ha-ha. She is so cute; she's like a little kid who dances whenever she wants to, she speaks in Visaya even though it doesn't suit her because she is so fair and looks like a Chinese doll. When I first saw her I thought she is just a high school who was asked by her mom to buy something at the market, but when I ask her how old she was, guess what? She said she's 20 years old, at that time I was like shocked because she really looked like a kid that would cry whenever I took her lollipop. Ha-ha.

I look at her like she was my little sister; we have a lot of things in common that we used to laugh about because it’s amazing. I was amazed on how independent she was and how she could take care of herself even though her mom and dad were in Kuwait and she’s leaving all by herself. I really admire how strong she was, she can always put a smile on her face even though I know that something is wrong and she has a problem.

She loves to eat; she loves to eat a lot. Ha-ha. We always eat; we used to go to McDonald's to buy hash brown. We used to eat at the 4th floor pantry and since she is in a special diet I always ask the service crew to remove the meat on her order. She always has this apple pie whenever she goes to work, she always asked my permission if she can drink coffee and I would always tell her that she's not allowed but one cup will do. Ha-ha.

Now, I really miss her since she resigns because she needs to go to Kuwait. I really miss everything. I miss my friend, workmate, best friend, sister, clown, wave mate. That’s her!
