Suddenly In ChargeMy parents were away for more than a month to celebrate their 28th wedding anniversary. (Trivia: If they had had children soon after getting married, I would have been 27 by now.) The parental units left me in charge of everything which I thought would be a piece of cake. If I could run several teams in my past corporate life ( ( Read more... )

I haven't slept in 35.5 hours. Serves me right for doing a bahala na si Batman episode last night. Finally finished the project 14 hours late, and yet there is neither a text nor an email from my liason officer. I dont want to say anything more lest I jinx it and I may need to majorly revise everything ( Read more... )

When you have a project deadline at 2:00 am, of course, you start working on it at 2:00 am. That's Ateneo-style procrastination, baby ( Read more... )

I wish you were just a phase like all the other guys that have come before you. So that in time I can actually forget you and replace you and look back at the memory of you with a small smile on my face ( Read more... )

As I gathered my things, laptop, mobile phone, heavy-ass organizer, lots of ballpens, from my spot in the hotel lobby, Mr. Piano Man begins to play Somewhere in Time. I decide to take the elevator this time, since I did not want a repeat of last night's sleeping-in-the-stairwell episode ( Read more... )

It kinda gives a raw edge to the intrinsic tone of the entry, especially when its written right after a supposedly "significant" event in my life, as opposed to something that was written many days after, when I've had time to digest and analyze and rationalize. By then my entry would be as ( Read more... )

I have just wiggled my way out of a project so that I can go to the gym. That project could have paid for a top of the line Bose sound system for my car, but what can I say, I guess I've just been freaking tired the past few weeks. Work has been well, in the sense that the projects have continued to come in truckloads. It's me who can't keep up ( Read more... )

I would just like to state for the record that: What happened to us?I mean what happened to us the old-timers in this big big world of blogging? We were blogging way before friendster made blogging a household activity and way before blogs were used to promote products (no offense meant okay, it's a very effective method, thank you) and way before ( Read more... )

Since naturally I did not have a date on Valentine's Day (and even if I did have a boyfriend, I'd probably would not go out, the cliche-ness of it would embarass me to smithereens), I went to the gym ( Read more... )

I have always been one to overcompensate. I'm barely 5'2 and like most vertically-challenged people, I overcompensate by trying to be good at everything else, hence the perfectionism and the type A personality. And I wear heels ALL the time, never mind that I may need to walk 5 kilometers that day, I'd probably still wear heels ( Read more... )
