After weeks of preparation and anticipation on June 27, 2008 we conquered Boracay. Besting all other teams at work - we soared high at number 1. 

Our flight was 10:30am Friday, July 27, 2008. We were on time for the flight’s check-in. Most of us just came from shift and we haven’t had any sleep at all but nevertheless we’re too excited to conquer the Island. The flight was not that boring with Cebu Pacific’s in-flight games and too bad I didn’t get any of the prices. Hahaha! Anyway, the flight took us to Caticlan Airport in just less than an hour. We took a tricycle to the Jetty Port and we were on our way to Boracay Island.

We settled our bags in Tirol and Tirol Beach Resort and went to D’ Talipapa for Lunch. Haha!

Friday night was a party.

This blog is getting dormant and I know that. Well, I guess I have to reconnect with my blogging life.  So this goes….

I was waiting for a cab in Escario St. when a friend patted my back saying a guy who just recently passed was a blogger. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. I didn’t really mind at all. Well, curiosity was bugging me so I sent a text message to a blogger from Davao who’s now in Cebu for his -ehem- ECE Review. He confirmed. It was Winston of BatangYagit.

That was a few weeks ago. Then just recently I commented into one of his blog entries and there he told me that he’ll be organizing a Cebu Blogger Meet-up. And guess who else will be coming-in from davao? Blogie of angdabawenyo.com …. The meet-up will be this coming June 29 at Bo’s Coffee Club, Osmeña Blvd, 2pm.

Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the event. I’ll be in  boracay that time. Too bad for me.

 So, to all Cebu-based bloggers. See yah on June 29, 2pm at Bo’s Coffee Club, Osmeña Blvd.

Work seems to be getting ahead of me lately. It has been a struggle for me to keep up with a lot of deliverables at work, not to mention my “pasaway” reps. But I know everything’s still okay. Well, after a few weeks of me being tested on troubled waters I am now moved to the early graveyard shift. It has been almost 2 months that I’m on the morning shift and this come Tuesday I’ll be on the 5pm shift with a new team. I guess I’d be comfortable with my new team because they were my teammates.

Anyway, it has been exactly 2 weeks today that I quit smoking and I’m so proud with the progress I’ve made. Lol. I just hope I’ll get through this long enough that sooner I’ll despise cigarettes. Hehehe….

I’m kinda busy right now… so let me just share an image sent by one my coleagues. I’m sure this image is kinda old for some but this really made me laugh my heart out…

Here I am at work trying to contemplate what’ll happen in the next couple of weeks knowing that some our tenured supervisors are leaving. I couldn’t think straight at this very moment because of some things that needed to be done….We’ll I’d have to admit, the reason of my inability to think straight is because - I quit smoking!

It has been 6 days that I stopped smoking and it’s really hard. It was pretty drastic and I’m not feeling well as I write this. The last cigarette I had was last Friday and from then on I managed to resist the urge to light one again.  Now, I’m having difficulty breathing, my throat is both sore and dry, and I have this dry cough. I have trouble sleeping. I get easily irritated and headaches occur at random. I researched the web if these are common symptoms of Smoking Withdrawal and Yes they are. Just a few minutes ago a friend invited me for a Cigarette break - I didn’t show up! Although my friend was kinda upset but I guess it was the right thing for me to do. I explained the reason and she gave me  a kudos. I’m trying to forget how a cigarette taste like - I know I’m making progress.

I knew quitting wouldn’t be easy but I’m determined to get through this….
