What’s been going on lately?

I’m still on the night shift schedule and yes, getting used to it. I might extend on this sched till the end of December. I have a feeling January 2008 will be a good start for me; as I believe 2008 will be my year (leap years are actually good for me). I still do not see signs that it will be a good one but it’s too early to say and look for signs, 2007’s last month has just started.

Let’s have a little rewind. I’ve been to some good activities and events recently. First was attending the Jojo-Sherley wedding last November 24. Sherley will always occupy a very special place in my heart as she’s really a dear friend. I wouldn’t miss her wedding for the world! Good that the date coincided with the US Thanksgiving Holiday; I had a good rest before doing my role as a Candle Sponsor. The wedding was also a perfect chance for us, high school classmates to catch up and it was so nice doing so. I missed the Club Ts and the rest of the gang! Never mind the costly treat; I really had a wonderful time with them. Girls, take good care of your mugs and yes, I’m willing to throw a party for you on my birthday. I still have time to save anyway.

That evening, I was in Aliw Theatre to watch Regine Velasquez’s ‘Ang Ating Awitin’ concert (yes, still a fan!). I was with my two bitchy friends, Yeth (you again!, we’re together in the wedding) and Jean. We’re seated on the VIP section, and was alongside Nadia Montenegro and kids, Vicky Belo and Hayden Kho (Wilma Galvante and Kuya Germs were both near our seats as well). It was really nice watching Reg perform live, and no matter what others would say about the concert and Regine, she is for me, still reigning ~ and yes, the undisputed Asia’s Songbird!

The week after was quite a heavy one – as the long weekend of course has its toll – pile of workloads to do. My team would have to prepare in our project’s attendance to the Accenture BPO Christmas Party. It was so commendable to know that we had around 80 % participation on the event, compared to other projects which had as low as 15 % engagement. I heard the party in general had low turn-outs based on the confirmed registrants; but nonetheless, the World Trade Center was quite jam-packed on the party’s day itself. Do not ask me for my other feedbacks about the event, but it’s a little pass my good marking. Of course, it isn’t easy to stage a party for 4,000 plus employees.

It’s Monday again and the start of the week. I would be at work in a few more hours, but before preparing I decided to write again (been so lazy writing recently). This will again be a very busy week as we are to finalize our very own project’s Christmas Party, scheduled on December 09 (Sunday). I am feeling the butterflies in my stomach now, but still able to relax for I know I have a reliable team with me – my Great Place to Work Council. There are still some dirty jobs to finish and accomplish which are actually on top of our daily to-do’s. I might not be able to write again but don’t worry, I’ll sure be back. Perhaps next week? To give you guys a detailed account of the Black Pearl’s much anticipated Christmas Party.

On a personal note, I am still missing B--- so bad! But there’s nothing I can do anymore. Ours is a closed book, and I believe we both should move on. What we had was so speedy and its end was also so rapid, but despite what happened, I take this as a new learning ~ charged to experience. I also have learned that in love, I should always be optimistic – when you experience the rain, the rainbow will surely show up. Again, I have a feeling 2008 will be my year, who knows my love aspect will also be merry. If yes, then I’m good. If not, I am still good. As long as I can go on day-by-day, then I’m okay.

That’s it for now folks! Till next ish…
