we had a meeting a while ago regarding our christmas party plans. i hope our company could go out of town. i havent left manila for quite a long time now. imagine, the last time i left manila was still last April during a company outing of my old company. im so pathetic! i got stuck in manila because of this freakin job.
speaking of my old company outing, we went to bulacan in a resort there. it was an overnight stay. we weren't able to enjoy swimming because the water is kinda.... hmmm... i dont know how to describe it but it is not really a welcoming sight to swim in. but the room was pretty much ok. plus i was there with HH so we got to spend the night together. Me and my ofcmates plus HH stayed in just one room but it has lots of beds. we were laughing and telling stories the whole night until everyone was tired and went to sleep. we also drank a little because everybody was tired, only a few bottles of liquor were emptied. i really had a great time.
i wasnt blogging for quite a while because i was busy with some office stuff. as usual, the deadlines were overflowing. my boss is still here. i wonder why he is still here. this is the first time he stayed in the philippines for more than 3 days. that is as far as i can remember. finally, we are given 3 days break from work! yipee! i hope the people in finland keeps their promise that there wont be any kidnapping during the 3 day break. i won be goin to the province. cebu is too far and it is too expensive to just stay there for 3 days. if i can have a longer vacation, maybe a week or so, i can probably go to cebu and visit my relatives and of course, enjoy life! im looking forward to a vacation this november with HH.
the usual office break wont be complete without playing warcraft3 frozen throne. i really enjoy the game but the past 3 days, me and my teammate never won against my other ofcmates. that sucks! i should practice more often and research more about strategies. hehehe!
oh my god! im so addicted to friendster! it's been a bad habbit of mine to check friendster as soon as i arrive the ofc. at least i have found some long lost friends from highschool!
congratulations HH on your graduation! i hope we could go on a vacation really soon.
congratulations to my newly married ofcmate kirt and to his wife may! the food in your wedding reception was really great. we ate a lot during the party! hehehe
i better go now coz theyre starting to play WC3.

Cram again
im in the ofc as usual. nothing really significant happened today, just tons of things to do arrived from finland which is nothing unusual of course. aha, i almost forgot, my boss is here. he arrived yesterday and he caught us playing warcraft3 frozen throne a while ago. hahaha... too bad we weren't able to press Alt+tab that fast. Anyway, i think he doesnt mind if we play during ofc hours. we dont usually do it naman and my team needed a break. we've been working, esp. me, for like 5 hours straight. We won in our first game. Im looking forward to play again later before i go home. I hope my boss isnt around anymore by then. hehehe.

I am a Vampire
Ive been taking some quizzes at quizilla.com... read through so you'll know my quiz results.
You are Form 9, Vampire: The Undying.
"And The Vampire was all that remained on the blood drowned creation. She attempted to regrow life from the dead. But as she was about to give the breath of life, she was consumed in the flame of The Phoenix and the cycle began again."
Some examples of the Vampire Form are Hades (Greek) and Isis (Egyptian). The Vampire is associated with the concept of death, the number 9, and the element of fire. Her sign is the eclipsed moon.
As a member of Form 9, you are a very realistic individual. You may be a little idealistic, but you are very grounded and down to earth. You realize that not everything lasts, but you savor every minute of the good times. While you may sometimes find yourself lonely, you have strong ties with people that will never be broken. Vampires are the best friends to have because they are sensible.
Which Mythological Form Are You? brought to you by Quizilla
You are a Dark Mask, the fourth class of vampire. You can adapt easily to any climate and situation. Your servants are few, mostly because you choose not to sire others. Your chief ability is shiftery-- you can become anyone or anything. Overall, you are a great person. Keep us guessing.

Men men men
Only a handful of men are able to speak their mind. Ive always had a hard time squeezing information from men about how they feel but i found someone who belongs to the handful im talking about. Ive exchanged words with a fellow guy blogger. He doesnt know me and I dont know him either. We've exchanged thoughts about what guys and girls feel about each other. Nothing romantic there! We were talking about guys and girls in general. It was a quite informative talk.

Freakin Headache
As usual, im in the ofc. It's a hell-like monday for me because a lot of tasks were assigned to me today. I dont know if my teammates in finland are angry or something at me. Oh well, that leaves me with no choice but to finish everything.
Anyways, I was talking to my old ofcmates through YM this morning. One of my guy friends asked me if the gossips are true that i am pregnant. I just laughed at him. Of course im not pregnant! I have a lot of plans in my mind before i will settle down. Though it's not really a big deal for me to have a kid than to have a husband since i really want to have a baby already. Hmmm... that made me think... should i be married before i get pregnant? I mean is it really a prerequisite that you get married first before jumping to bed? Naahh... im a liberated person and if you feel like doing it... just be responsible for your actions. Just like the old saying goes, if you cant be good, at least be careful.
Last week i started reading the blogs of a fellow blogger. I got intrigued by his stories and the way he writes. I would have to admit that he is a good writer. But some of his insights are kinda demoralizing to women. Though i have an impression that he's a good man, if i may say, i think he had a tragic relationship in the past. "It's no guaranteee that if you like someone it equals a future with them." I am trying to quote that blogger. I agree with him. Liking someone is not enough to commit. Not even love is an enough reason to go into a relationship. It takes more than that feeling to devote yourself to a relationship. Commitment for me is something special. No matter how much you love someone, it doesnt mean that at a certain point in your life, you wouldnt ask that someone to reciprocate that same amount of love youre giving.

Sweatshop Saturday
A usual boring day again for me. Im stuck here in the office working for another deadline. It's been like this for 5 months now... working on a supposedly weekend!
actually, im done with my deadline for the day but i still have to stay and wait for the conference call from my boss who is in the US and the guys working in finland. i think i have an abnormal job. wish i have a kind of job like normal people do. everyday i work 10-14 hrs on the average... except when i really want to sneak out and leave my team to finish our deadline. hehe
the other day at around 4am i was kidnapped from my house by our company driver. i was still so sleepy but i had no choice. when i got inside the car, my other teammates are already there. all of them just half awake. We arrived in the ofc after 30 minutes. it was another sweatshop day for all of us. my team and i were requested to stay in the ofc longer. so to make our lives a bit easier, my boss gave us a hotel room to stay for the night. should i be happy abt it? i guess not. i dont know if it's a bribe or something just to do overtime work. oh well, my boss is really good in bribing us. that's what businessmen like him are really good at. anyways, at least i had more time to bond with my ofcmates. they're really funny. i love chatting with them because i always end up having stomachache due to excessive laughing.
I hope things are better next week. I hope my boss wont ask us to come to ofc tomorrow. I desperately need rest!

The Beginning
This is my first ever blog. I hope I have more free time to write my blogs. I am a really busy person and i dont even have enough time for myself. My job is that demanding. Right now Im still questioning what i got myself into. Ive been working for this company for just 5 months and i think im already burned out. My job is not at all boring... or maybe it is... probably im just trying to make myself feel better about my job.hehehe
This is it for now. Btw, im still in the office waiting for the traffic to subside. I dont want to get stuck on the road for a long time. Have to go!
