Starting February, my life has literally revolved around work, work and more work!! Sure I do enjoy learning, coping and climbing the long, hard road up, but sometimes I feel that life has literally been sucked away from me. Weekends are now also spent on work. And I hate working on weekends as these days are my sanctuaries! I asked to take a leave on my birthday but my boss didn't grant it coz I had to attend a seminar on risk analysis. And I should shoot myself for this but I recently let go of an offer to go to Germany for a business trip simply because I didn't dare leave my job behind for several days, horrified with the thoughts of piled-up work when I return. Tsk.
Has it all been worth it? Let's say my bank account is noticeably bulky these days but I think the fact that I have no time to practice my purchasing power contributes a huge deal. I tend to appreciate little things more like a shopping spree, a trip to the spa, a cook-out marathon or a get-together with friends, a coffee here and there...But most importantly, I am not lost anymore. So to answer my question, YES it has all been worth it. Thank you! :)
MAKATI PARKING IS HELL
What is worse than beating the morning rush together with psychotic jeeps and buses? It's the price of parking your car in Makati! Anak ng *toot*!!! So I've been devicing a plan to park it somewhere and just commute the rest of the way. But sometimes I feel I am just too sleepy to commute in the morning and too tired to commute home. Plus my office clothes aren't exactly the type you wear while commuting haha! Abangan...
I AM NOW A MANILA TOUR GUIDE
In a matter of weeks, a group of friends from different parts of the world will be arriving here in Manila for a reunion. I've been feeling stressed and excited at the same time organizing the itinerary, budget, logisitcs, everything!!! Manila isn't exaclty logistics-friendly, that's for sure. I just hope everything works out and everyone will leave having a good impression of Manila.
YOU HAVE TO GIVE UP FOR YOUR SAKE
I'm glad, after almost a year, you have finally realized that it's not worth it. That it's OK to let go and it doesn't mean you care any less. Cat-and-mouse game is over.
