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…

Well, I have been brought up as a kid watching television from morning til’ the evening. Primetime Telenovelas are already part of our Filipino culture. And yes, I admit that I, too, love telenovelas. Anyway, for the past 3 weeks watching primetime shows has been part of my daily routine. Yes, I watch Lobo. Haha! I even watch Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus. And there’s where the problem lies. The first time I watched PBB I thought it is nice but after a few episodes I’m thinking How crazy the show’s producers are. Can you just imagine these Teens hugging each other intimately in front of national television. It’s gross! Yeah, I am somewhat conservative but what these teens are acting way over the limit. No wonder Teenage pregnancy is such a hit.

Now take a look at these photos…

Well, I’m pretty sure American Idol Fans are debating who’s gonna win Season 7. For me it has be David, not Archuleta but Cook. David Cook.

Who do you think will win Tuesday’s performance for the Final Three. Let’s take a look…(as I’ve said My Take)

ROUND ONE: The songs were picked by the judges themselves.

David Archuleta - He sang “And so it goes” chosen by Paula Abdul. Again, he changed the song to my dislike. But I think the song was a good choice for him. His voice was just too perfect. Well, I listened to Billy Joel’s original version and yeah David wasn’t able to give justice. Too bad. I guess an average viewer might have liked his version but for me, it’s nah.

Syesha Mercado - She’s up with my personal fave artist Alicia Keys. She sang “If I ain’t got you” Randy Jackson picked the song. For me, Syesha sounded like Alicia but lacked the emotion I was looking for in that song. Overall, she gave a “performance” but as the judges would say “this was not her best.”

David Cook - He nailed Roberta Flack’s “The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face.” This time, the song was picked by wicked Simon Cowell. The song was rather slow and I admit it was his usual style. But he nailed it. He gave justice. I bet Cook’s fans would download this song.

Yeah, ROUND ONE goes to…. DAVID, not Archuleta but Cook. David Cook.

There are a lot of changes in my life recently. I’m not even sure if I’m keeping up but I guess these changes are tolerable.

One. I just got new responsibilities in the office and I’m not sure if I can live up to the expectations. I know I can handle the responsibilities, but I need all the help I can get and I know my colleagues (especially my manager) are there to support me. I need to be more focused this time. Career is getting good, I know that for sure.

Two. I just got moved to the morning shift. Yeah, I kinda like it but I am still adjusting my body clock. I have been on the evening shift for almost 3 years now and suddenly my schedule goes back to normal working hours. I may need to take supplements this time, seriously.

Three. On my previous blog entry, a friend met a horrible accident while intoxicated. That made me realise that I need to slow *sigh* down my alcohol in-take.

Four. In relation to my morning shift. I haven’t smoked any cigarettelately. I’m quite busy on the reports. This is actually good. lols.

Five. I’m nose-bleeding from a friend’s bragging sessions about her so-called career. Worse - It’s almost on a daily basis. 

Six. Cebu’s temperature is getting into my nerves.

Seven. I haven’t been to the beach for almost 2 weeks now. By the way, I love the beach just recently. I used to hate beaches.

Eight. I’m torn between our company summer outing and our team’s beach outing and what’s bad about the two - they’re both on the same dates.

Nine. I miss my family.

Ten. My Internet connection at home is down, 2 days now.

Eleven. I need to pay my bills or else…

Twelve. I need to save more and get a decent -ahem- laptop this time.

Thirteen. I need to reconsider the option to transfer to a new crib. My current crib is getting crowded.

Fourteen. I think, I need a love life. lols.

Fifteen. I want to be really really HAPPY.

That’s all.

Let’s DO our share.

Save Earth.

Save Lives.

Happy Earth Day Everyone!
