I decided to go to work today despite being a local holiday and late night mall hours in the city. It wasn't entirely out of obligation, really, but I reckon that locking myself in the RPO office would somehow maximize my day off instead of sleeping it away in my uber comfortable bedroom, thinking and wishing over things that may or may not happen in the future. So, if I have to choose between physical and mental torture, I would definitely opt for the former now than the latter.
In order for me not to look like a reformed delinquent of some sort [hey, I was quite known as not being an OT fan! But here I am doing such for 2 straight weeks now!], I intentionally woke up late and wore a sleeveless shirt for work, just so at least I could tell myself that I somehow enjoyed this holiday. Apart from that, I dropped by the grocery to buy some chocolates and junkies, in preparation for my voluntary reclusion in our lovely office.
And that's what I exactly did. At the moment, I am now 7 hours in isolation [and counting] from the festivities and all the fun that's happening and may happen in my beloved city. Except for some few trips outside to take a stroll for a nicotine fix [or for simply a breather], those past 7 hours were spent inside the office, working for our upcoming 5 publications, which we are hoping to launch simultaneously come mid next month[woohoo!! goodluck!!]. Am I superwoman in the making here? Maybe. And maybe not. Perhaps it's gonna be the other way around, especially after all of these are done!! But I am not complaining. In fact, I am thrilled to have all these responsibilities at work! Makes me feel needed, if you know what I mean...
Why, you may ask, I am allowing myself to transform into this workaholic bitch that I never was, instead of being just an ordinary employee, like everyone else in the city [maybe], strolling around downtown area, checking on street dances and perhaps even parties and events when nighttime comes? I know I can do that after, but I bet after I have done my scheduled task for today, I would definitely be too exhausted even for a bottle of beer. Believe me, I asked myself a million times last night whether to push through this plan or not. But this whatever, that I feel wrapped around my chest [like a bad cholesterol on clogged arteries], made me do this. Made me marry to my paperworks and what have you.
And yes, you may call it love. But that is also the reason why I am escaping from all the fun and the party. There is just simply no other way...
This is a Sade classic. I didn't know that the vid is like a mini movie of a man who is an incorrigible playboy. Again, this is one of those songs that hits close to home but what the heck? Sade's got one of those coolest jazzy voice there is!
Lovingly dedicated to that incorrigible playboy. Heaven help you, when you fall...

|  | We were just supposed to watch for about an hour or two to check who among those hundreds of pairs were chosen to be the 15 finalists for this pageant. Surprisingly, the OSA Director saw me and invited us for dinner before the pageant proper, thus we ended up staying longer.
And because the winner was still not announced yet and these oldies[especially the one in uniform] were longing to feel their blankets and bedsheets, we weren't able to know who the runner-ups were and the big winners. But the following day, at least we were able to find out that our bet[especially the Ms. SPC] was the one that ended up winning. She's the one in black gown in the pic, btw...:)
Do pardon me if most of the pics ended up blurry. Aside from the fact that the contestants had to walk fast, the batteries in my cam were beginning to die on me, thus the blurry shot. drat! [sensya na pow!! di naman po talaga high-tech aking cam!hehehehe!] |
| | Around February this year, I was invited by the Student Council and OSA [charing! feeling close!!hahahahahaha!] to be one of the preliminary judges on this year's Mr. and Ms. SPC. It was basically a 2-night affair, but the first night was with me in uniform, so I ended up not taking any pics to remember that night.
This judging stint also had an amusing story as well. Basically, it was only just me who would judge together with the school's Admissions Officer. Erika, who was with me to supposedly watch the prelim for an hour or two, ended up being the third judge since the supposedly third judge backed out at the prelim day itself.
Both of us reckoned that 'twas a good experience judging those kids. At the same time, we were checking out outfits on the side, more or less trying/unleashing our fashion prowess. Charing!
The pageant proper will be on the next album. Stay tuned!:D |

| | With CAP Auditorium as the venue this time! Featuring me and Gladys as Christmas angels!!hahahahahahahaha!! |
| | The last day of SPC's intramurals was mixed with noble and entertaining activities. I have always wanted to do this[thanks to my diaper friend and...well...who-must-be-named-voldemort, for convincing me to give this a try]. I was hesitant before because I thought I was anemic. Thanks to these PE exams on my call center stint, I was able to discover that I wasn't, thus, my go-signal to embark on this...noble cause. I was supposed to have a blood donor partner, but I couldn't wait for that person [aside from the fact that donating twice this year is more than enough already], so here I was grabbing this opportunity[damn if my fellow donors are waaay younger than me!!:P].
Kudos to the Med Tech. and Nursing students/volunteers of SPC for this activity. I can't help but admire them for being friendly and accommodating to me. That prick on my fingers didn't turn out that traumatically painful for me!! And sooooper thanks to Gladys for the photos and "molar"[and spiritual?sabi ng nagturok ng needle sa akin!!hehehehe!!] support!! |
| | My first acquaintance party in SPC. Thanks again Ms. Chona for the pics!!:P |
| | my first taste of recollection/retreat after say, almost a decade? the last one would definitely have to be my SMAD days. had no choice but to join because it's part of my work!!*sigh* in fairness, it was indeed a nice getaway from the city and from the workloads[not that i am complaining]. the place is also nice[it's at benedictine retreat house located in ulas, DC] with great food despite it being a retreat house!! nice choice CMO peeps!!:D
Pahabol: Few more pics added!!! super thank you to ms. chona for loaning us the CD!! and for taking the pics too!!:P |
| | my second taste of baking myself under the heat of the sun for the love of work!!hehehehehe!! assigned in the northern part of the city[which would be bajada, lanang, sasa, and parts of buhangin/dumanlas areas] it was a bearable assignment with the only feat being a huntress for those plotted respondents' residences and verifying if they still lived in the address that we have in our database. this album also showcases my newfound favorite place to hang out: the market basket, located at the damosa gateway, mamay road, lanang. nice place to chill while waiting for the sun's heat to be tolerable on my skin!
If there is anyone out there who happens to know someone that graduated in San Pedro College in Davao City [any course will DEFINITELY apply] from years 2001-2004 may give me a buzz or give me their email address so that we can send them the questionnaire electronically.
oh, di ba, career?:P |
| | First taste of field research and data gathering.30 January-09 February 2007. The most tiring task, but fun nevertheless. Capturing unforgettable sights on digi cam a way to destress. Plus our attempt to race cars at the SM City Davao arcade. Would love to do it again--the arcade, that is!hehehehehe!:P |
| | With officemate and visitor(s) sa Research and Publication Office ng SPC!!:P An attempt to combine work and fun...hehehe! |
