Second Wind

It's a beautiful Friday morning. I had to wake up early because of a "breakfast" thing with our managers and the president. We’re not really included in the breakfast but it was more of a “strength in numbers” kind. Should the president decide to go to our area, at least we were there. But that wasn’t what happened... you see, even if we were dressed in sort of business casual attire instead of the casual Friday look, we had our own breakfast at the pantry. I had my fried bananas and coffee while my officemates munched on Bread Talk pastries.
The week flew by fast (I guess that’s what happens when you’re suddenly bombarded with requests and some jumpstarted initiatives. Nope, I’m not going to discuss work. Not now. ^_^

This week, Joey flew to Singapore to attend a forum and take advantage of the IT Fair at Suntec City. I had felt a little guilty for not informing dad earlier so we could give him the apartment key so he could save on accommodations. Dad was also busy with his business trips and is still recuperating from his appendectomy a few weeks back. Dad’s back in Manila now, the hole near his bellybutton got infected and was recommended a few days of rest.

So anyway, I’m giddy to see Joey again tomorrow with his bag of goodies. I didn’t ask him to buy anything from the IT Fair but I know he bought some gadgets and I just want to see his latest toys. =)

I’ve also been busy in the nostalgic department. I still need to create a slideshow of the trip we had in Europe 2 years ago! That and fix the slideshow of our trip the year before! The transition of the slides were too fast for mom and dad’s comfort so I had to fix them manually. I hate rework so I decided to start all over. Clean slate is better than looking at a horrible mess.

I’ve been meaning to leave the office on time today and spend a few good hours at a coffee shop and finish my slides. My good ‘ol ipad is struggling with the massive photos and videos but seems to be keeping up. I’ve finished Zurich, Lucerne and almost done with Vienna... it’s a wild ride back to memory lane. I’m still thinking if I have time to create a blog entry about it. Or maybe create a separate blog for my travels.

Seriously, where is this energy coming from??? ^_^

Linger

My mind's been wandering after trying to figure out what's happening during our class... I've been fleeting from one thought to another...

I got an opportunity to bond once again with my (4-year old) iPod while commuting to and fro school. It's been almost a year since I've last sync-ed it and I've never really made a lot of effort in updating it with new songs. If it helps, the songs I last sync-ed were old school music (Christmas in Our Hearts, anyone?)

The new generation of songs, I get it from Joey. And I'm quite contented with listening to it with him. But when I'm alone, I'd rather prefer the smooth and more free-flowing melodies of ballads and standard songs; they type that just makes me want to sing my heart out and feel really really good!

A few days back, I was scrolling through my ancient playlist and was still amazed that my most played songs were still Japanese. =)

Lho and behold, there were still anime songs. Gundam rules in my heart! There was a time in college that that song rocks my car day in and day out, until I got to memorize the lyrics...that I got to understand the lyrics. I listened to it again and once again let myself be dragged into wanton screeching and belting, amazed that I can still go along with the lyrics!

Ah those were the days. =)
