Certified Workaholic

Certified Workaholic

Ever since i got assigned to be on Tier 2 Manila Team in Prod Suport, i think i've slowly become a workaholic (or more if that is possible). Since there was a deluge of tickets from customers, nearly 100% of our time was required if we wanted to go home early, and that's what i tried to give. I think i've been on the working groove since i got back from my 10 day holiday vacation. I was even surprised last night that it was Friday, which meant that there was no 'tomorrow' to continue working on the tickets, tsk tsk. I don't even surf the net anymore or check my mails since it usually breaks my concentration.

I'm in b_connected now in Greenbelt 4 and have decided to check my personal mails, sites and update my blog too. It's kinda funny coz 95% of the people here are playing 'games' and are also guys so they're talking to each other out loud in their seats. It doesn't really bother me much, but just amuses me.

Fading fad

Right now, friendster has lost it's appeal, if only i could easily transfer pictures from a camera to the pc, then i'd probably update my friendster pictures more often. I have a new pic actually, with a huge stuffed toy in Gateway mall that you'll see sitting in a chair when you go up the escalator.

Harry Potter Obessession

I think i'm a bit too late for this but after watching Harrry Potter 4, the best Harry Potter movie by far, my desire to continue reading book 5 was reignited. I actually stopped in chapter 3 or so of The Order of the Phoenix a while back since it was dragging but Aldrich told me that the more exciting parts started in the middle of the book and continued till the end so i decided to give it a shot. After book 5, i was hungry for The Half-Blood Prince and after finishing that, i knew that it's stil quite a long wait till the next and final book arrives. So, i've decided to reread all the Harry Potter books to gather as much clues as i can on what would possibly transpire in the final book. J.K Rowling promises to answer 'most' of the questions for her finale.

New Year's Resolution

I'm on diet again, what's new? For a few months last year, i've decided to stop dieting coz i didn't really feel the need anymore. I used to diet before coz i felt that if i was thinner, i'd be more appreciated, accepted, etc. But after about 6 years of dieting, i've finally seen the light. I accepted and appreciated myself for who i am and realized that i needn't diet to achieve that. So why am i dieting again? I don't want to buy new clothes anymore, hahaha! I also had my blood chemistry checked and have couple of things over the limit and according to the BMI charts: i'm obese! hahaha! Well, so far, i've lost 1 pound in the first week that i've started dieting: less junk, less rice, more greens and other fibers, too. It's quite a challenge but i know i'll pull through. :)

KTV

Before i end this post, i just want to say that my brother gave my mom a portable karaoke mic for Christmas! He actually has the Xtreme Magic Sing which he bought from Raon for 8k and we enjoyed using it during Christmas eve. But when we found out that it was that expensive, we lost hope in buying one for ourselves. I must say that my bro is really nice coz he knows how much my mom loves to sing and i also like singing even if i don't really have a great voice, and he gave us a generic karaoke mic with 1000 songs! Cool! Doesn't matter what brand it is, as long as it has songs that we can singalong to! It was really a happy new year for my mom and the rest of the family :)
