Met erika at Starbucks Shang around 8:20 am. Call time at our Warehouse office was 8:30. Haha! Arrived there at exactly 8:30 and still we are one of the early birds. Buti na lang! Orientaton started at around 9am and done by 3pm.
Well, it was fun though... beneficial for everyone. Everybody was fed well (sarap ng food!!!!). Questions, inquiries and clarifications answered.
Pero, eto ang panalo sa araw na to...
"DAEI, I GUESS HINDI NA TAYO PWEDENG MAG-AWAY FROM NOW ON"
Yan ang sinabi sakin ni Erika.
In the middle of the orientation we both felt the urgency of visiting our "bestfriend" here at Strata. As much as we wanted to control it, emergency calls and we cannot do anything about it but to raise our hands and tell our boss that we need to go out and be back as soon as possible. I guess he doesn't have any choice though but to allow us to go.. hehehe!
So here we are, erika driving as fast as she can...and as soon as we arrive at Strata, we are really, really, really greatful to be with our "bestfriend"... the first friendly bonding that we have... a memorable one... hehehehe!
ENDURANCE CHALLENGE
Since the orientation ended up earlier as expected, I decided to go to the gym for some cardio thing.
So there I was, doing a 20 mins on the stepper and then sat on the handbike for a suppose to be another 20 minutes when mawel, one of the instructor approaced me...
mawel: "daei, sali kita ha..."
daei: "san?"
mawel: "endurance challenge"
daei: "huwaattt? ano gagawin ko dun?"
mawel: "simple lang. partner tayo. cardio and muscle exercise lang. pag nanalo tayo free one month mebership."
daei: "sino sino kasali"
mawel: " 6 teams dapat. basta sali kita ha. partner tayo."
Challenged and thinking that it was fun, I said yes...
And it was... an absolutely graet experience ever...
The challenge:
bleh!
my computer breaks down! the video card crashed... meaning all my pending works will remain to be pending, no internet access (unless of course I make singit to ms. cheng's computer in times that she's out.. wih the excuse of "can i check my mailbox?" hehehe!). Buti na lang she's out to Megamall kaya, ako muna dito sa pwesto nya and do this stuff... hehehe.
But really, im seriously looking forward in doing the next newsletter project but the moment I got in, i saw the service man doing someting on my opened cpu. So, wala akong choice... maghintay. Good that according to him, it can be fixed within the day.
I got in lunchtime because I was with my brother earlier to be his patient on his Optometrist Practical Board Exam. No contact lens for the whole morning until I got in here. I was there at the examination area and saw other board takers... some obviously are nervous, others taking things easily. And heres my brother... I was with him the whole time he's taking the 5 major practical test. And mind you, all the examiners are so strict.. at terror! grabe!
Im keeping my fingers crossed for my brother... sana he could make it this time... sana lucky charm ang ate nya... wehehee...
I actually slept at their place last night. Somewhere around Sampaloc area. God, I missed the area so much. 20 years of living there... particularly along Don Quijote-Dimasalang-Laon Laan area... where I spent my whole childhood days. And it was still the same. I missed every single memories I had with that place...so much...
... and back to this workplace... my superior just handed me my performance appraial. An evaluation sheet on my work performance. I was glad to see at the bottom of the last page where it states RECOMMENDATION: Confirm regularization to position of Creative Junior Officer effective August 1, 2006.
now, this is is a good news... *wink*
a sign...
she knew what she "should" do... right about then
still, she kept her pace... pretending to be unaffected...
at that very moment she knew the "COUNTDOWN" is over...
trying to defeat an unexplainable emotion enveloping her being...
her heart beating faster... her tears almost starts to fall...
and believing that instincts are most often true...
... so what would it be 29 days from now? would she still be excited looking forward on that day? She still don't know. As for now, it would just still be an ordinary day... no jitters, no thrills... just another day to live by...
I am hoping a major change would take place... in my life.
No more long wish list...
No more material attachments...
Just a simple wish... a simple prayer...
Im starting to count the days until I reach that moment when I could finally say "At last I am complete"
And Im hoping that day would be 30 days from now...
It's EON's birthday!!! It was a fun-filled children's party on a raining Saturday afternoon. Eon is Ms. Bong's (my super uber kulit officemate) youngest son and he just turned 1.
another project done...
the final issue of BPI TIMES Newletter...
Im starting to make a move...
Thinking of giving up...
Would you let me?
Would you care enough?
Or should I let these things pass away?
