After a week of being back to reality I suddenly felt that there’s gotta be something wrong. I’m not so sure what seems to be wrong but I’m quite confused on what to do. Well, I guess being away from reality for just a mere week really makes a difference. It’s been a rough week for me starting last Saturday where I had to endure numerous delays going to Cebu City. It all started me waking up almost 2 hours from my scheduled wake up time. Consequently, I had to take a ride on a different Bus going to Cagayan de Oro City and halfway through the trip, we were flat-tired so that was another 20 minute delay. By noon, Cagayan de Oro was at its peak temperature which I kinda despised because my temper was getting hotter by the minute. We had to take a fast-food lunch which was, again, unplanned due to “the unforeseen circumstances.” I had to cancel shopping for “pasalubong” because I’m already late. By the time I checked-in for my flight, I was already an hour before the scheduled take off - whew! I thought that was the end of it but I was wrong - My flight’s gonna be delayed until further notice; It’s supposed to take off 3:10pm and worse I have work shift by 5pm. My  temperature’s now boiling. Finally, after almost 2 hours of waiting I’m on my way back to Cebu City. I’m late so I had to go straight from the airport to the office and carry all my luggage. Good thing it was a Saturday so there were less ordeal in the office. Whew! On Sunday I had to work again to cover my interim rest day. I only had Monday for my rest day and I spent it sleeping the whole day and on the evening watched The Dark Knight with my high-school friends.

Tuesday, I came in a good 30 minutes before my shift starts. Well, it took me 2 hours to sift through hundreds of e-mails and another 2 hours replying. lol :D I thought Tuesday would be just any ordinary day at work but it turned out to be extraordinary. It was my first time to accompany and sit beside an agent being delivered her release papers. It’s saddening but we had to release the agent from the program. Well, there’s always a first to everything.

Wednesday, another hectic day and it was literally a bad day because sleep never came up to me. Blame it to the 6 cups of coffee I drank the day before.

Thursday was chaos. I’ve been monitoring the team’s week to date performance and we are not even near the Satisfactory mark. I’m beginning to get sour. My Patience is being put into the test.

Friday, I thought I’d be my usual self but I was wrong - again. I’ve noticed our team this week had most number of absences. I’m just hoping all of them turns out to be a medical leave. That way I’d be saved.

Saturday, my patience comes to an end. I have been very lenient the past few weeks and I’ve decided to be tougher this week - I mean it!

I’ll have a lot of explaining to do next week…

And… I’m about to break.

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.

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….

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.

It is exactly 2 weeks today when our Internet got disconnected. I know it was our fault. Haha. We don’t have the time to go to Globe Payment Center and pay the bills. Lazy meh, I mean us. And so after 2 months of not paying attention to the Notice of Disconnection, we got what we deserved. lols. Now, I have to live for a few weeks without internet. Although, I can browse some websites in the office but I’m afraid to get reprimanded by our IT Administrator. Haha. Anyway, I have a lot of photo albums to upload, sites to visit, social networking accounts to update, and yet it’s still gonna be a long time before we get the internet connection restored. I’m getting frustrated of just staying at home watching Lobo when all of the blogosphere is in chaos. lols. I feel so left behind. Well, as I’ve said we got what we deserve.
