blah, blah, blah, bleh.

I haven't been doin much work lately even though i have a long to-do list that I've made. I guess this will be my routine for the next few days.

Received a text from a prospective employer yesterday. He informed me that they have agreed in principle with the owners and most certainly I'll be managing the construction for him. Guess I'll have to learn Ilonggo starting now.... I'm a little bit excited, a little bit scared, (ala MYMP hehe). I don't know what to expect when I'll be in Iloilo in a couple of weeks. I'll be meetin' with the owners when they fly to Manila next week....

Time really flies when you're doin' nuthin. I can't imagine how much work I can accomplish at my previous office when I can't do zilch when I'm at home. I should learn to manage my time more efficiently....

Just saw "The Brothers Grimm" awhile ago. It's not for kids but not for adults either. It was too boring for me and it'll probably be too scary for kids, or maybe I'm just bored, or sleepy from the spicy Thai food I ate for lunch....

Got to watch the quarterfinal match between Andre Agassi and James Blake at the U.S. Open. Twas and exciting 5 setter with the 5th set goin' into tiebreak. I've never witnessed an exciting match since the Agassi-Sampras semifinals a few years back. Too bad Blake lost after leading by 2 sets to love but he said afterwards that he never felt more joy in losing than right at that moment....

It goes to show that I'm still enjoying my vacation and not scuttlin' to do more important things like do some work 'coz I still have deadlines to meet. Like what I'm doin right now.... blogging instead of working... hehe. Tomorrow is still another day.

my former officemates.

Last look from the front gate of the office. Here are some of the brightest minds in the industry. Best bunch of guys (and girls) I've ever worked with. I wish them all the best!

end of chapter one...

3 days removed from work and I still have not done anything I had planned to do. I have no complaints though, at least I get to embark on a new phase in my life-career and I'm excited. It also helps that I got I sign that I made the right decision to move on. During dinner with my ex-officemates on my last day in the office, I got some messages on the options that I might take and it really made my day complete. Hearing some of the comments my officemates made during a "testimonial" made me realize on the impact that I had on most of them. It's also disconcerting that the comments I heard were like eulogies. Hehehe, Maybe it's just me. The things people say when they're in front of a video camera. I'm a bit sad that I'll be leaving the office but I'm sure they'll be alright. I know I have taught them well and they're a great bunch of guys to work with.
