golly gee wow! hahaha… of all the possible places, i saw my university prof in the mrt this afternoon…

there i was, standing in the middle of the train, tired and sleepy and hungry. i was about to get off the train but tada! when i looked to my left, there  he was, sitting there and texting.

who was it??? Si Balti Liit!!! hahahaha… I was staring at him soo hard, willing him to look at me, and he did! He saw me and recognized me! so I thought "what the heck, i can get off at the next station" so we made chika (i knew he was from deloitte so i said i was also… we talked just a while because i really had to get off the train! hehe)

it was really crazy! how small can the world get? huh? me, deprived of friends and chika time for a long time really felt like i found a dear old friend! feeling ko nga naweirduhan sa akin si balti e… haha feeling chummy!

so guys, if ever you’re dropping by in singapore. do let me know! im dying to see old faces. talk tagalog and just hang out!!!

i had just experienced my first ever ERS IT meeting in the board room… i was really anxious for this meeting since i do not have any idea whatsoever what’s in store…

days before the meeting, i was asked by my colleague to do a writeup about myself for the introduction part of the meeting (yes, i’ve been in this firm for four months but was only going to be introduced). i had two choices. either to write something funny/informal or go with the formal theme like writing where i’ve worked, what i expect from the group, yada yada yada… since i didnt know what to expect (hehe) i opted to go with the informal theme.

anyway, so the meeting started promptly at 4:30pm. it started off well, a bit formal for my taste but good enough. i was dozing off at the latter part of the presentation, but hey, it was still good. communication problems were still on - still having a hard time real-time processing sing-lish. partner was talking about really good stuff, where we are, plans for the group, changes for the group, etc etc… real fancy. i likey-likey. (i think i sound a bit loopy. it’s already 12:18am, so don’t mind me)

so… after the partner’s talk, introductions of the different groups were made. we have CAS - that’s us, IT audit. and then we have the IT consulting side - IT forensincs, programming, what have you, very techie for me… hehe…

and then, introduction of newcomers time! finally, the new recruits were introduced. i was floored when i found out that i was going to be introduced by someone (oh no!) plus i realized that i was the only person who went for the informal introduction! argh!!! guess who did my introduction? lo and behold…  my former X-manager (yes he is my manager yet again). very nice introduction, somewhat too nice for me, but hey, who am i to complain? ;p

by the end of the meeting, i realized one thing… i like my boss (partner not manager oki???). not like him as in i heart him… (hehe picked this up in one of the yamin forums) but like him as in appreciated him. he made the meeting so fun! he had very funny comments that made the whole group at ease. during introductions he would say something that will make us all laugh and learn more about the person. it was just hilarious… i was really laughing WITH them…

plus the fact that some of the other big bosses (senior managers and directors) have been with him for the past 9 years. as in they’ve followed him from one company to another… i think that is saying A LOT! dont you think so? such loyalty could only mean one thing - that he’s a good man.

all in all, my first ERS IT group meeting went really well. i found out that my current groupmates really know how to have fun. (we’re watching x-men 3! how cool is that???) and i think i might just be able to hang on to this job for some time… *wink* *wink*

okay im going to sleep now. good night… zzzzzzzzzz…………

buhuhu… elliott got eliminated from american idol. i know it’s so petty of me to get hung up with a television show but really! it’s the first time that i really really wanted someone to win a show so badly that i wasn’t able to sleep the night before the elimation. hehehe babaw!

anyway, there’s nothing i can do about it. it’s not like i voted for him. (not that i didnt want to… if i could, i would have. but since i can’t, oh well… ) no sense crying over spilled milk…. i’ll just wait for his album and i’ll be one of the first to get it for sure!

katherine or taylor? dunno… britney or john leno. whoever. hehehe

last time i wrote that i was feeling better. well, i spoke too soon, that night i was feeling very very deadly ill…

my day was okay… i felt drained but i didnt feel nauseous anymore, so i thought it was a good thing… everything was going fine until i slept that night and woke up at dawn…

3:30am… i woke up feeling really cold and was literally shaking… i was in pain… my head hurt and i was feeling nauseous… i couldnt go back to sleep. i was really at my most uncomfortable! i didnt know what to do… so i got up and threw up. (yuck) it was all i can do to get rid of the pain…

4:30… still not feeling well, went back to the comfort room at least twice to throw up…

5:30… argh! am i going to die alone??? this time, i think i’ve been to the comfort room three times. (good thing aimee is not here or else, she’ll probably be awake by now with all the noise im making)

6:30… i dont think i can go to the office… patay ako kay francis! koya… help!

9:00… woke up took a quick bath and went to suntec for doctor’s checkup

10:00… arrived at the clinic to get my prognosis

12:00… finally! it was my turn… argh! finally found out that i have a 38.1 degree fever. the doctor said it was a pretty high fever, is it? im not sure… at least now i know what’s wrong with me.

1:00… i ate carl’s jr. but was only able to take a couple of bites. my palate was gone. everything tasted like chalk (not that i know what chalk tastes like. lol)

so here i am, been cooped up here at the house for two days already. tomorrow is a holiday so i’ve had a pretty long vacation! im just glad that im finally feeling better. and i’ll take what’s left of my vacation to rest and recover because i know i’ll be in another battle when i get back to work….

thanks for everyone’s concern! to koya for being my spokesperson sa office… thanks!!! kay che, for being a very thoughtful and caring housemate.. and kay philip, for all the pagkakamusta sa akin!

thanks… at least even if i dont have my family here with me, i have you guys naman… awww… tama na… iiyak na naman ako nito. ciao!

i’ve been quiet for a while now. it’s been a long time since my last blog. but as the saying goes "no news is good news" eh? well, not quite… (eto na naman po ako) hehehe

from good…

let’s start with the fun part of this blog. my housemates and i held two consecutive jamming sessions in our house! it was a blast! che, ayms and I were dubbed as the Super bands by philip… hahaha no, i can’t sing… i do my share in reading the lyrics though! the second night, jowen joined us for some pretty hilarious antics! you guys can check out the website of philip reyes for our jamming video. pero hindi kami kasama ni che dun… hahaha… i’ll try to post the super band’s rendition of wherever you will go. pramis!

from good, to bad…

aside from that, been doing nada. i was supposed to be plotted to beaufort sentosa but on the last minute was pulled-out so that i can do "manualization" OMG! i dont even know where to start. che, help!!!

from good, to bad to worst…

im horribly sick, yesterday morning, i was feeling kinda down but paid no heed since it’s monday! i thought i might be having monday blues is all, but on the way to the office, on the bus, i started feeling nauseous, i began dropping my bags so that i can breathe a little, but to no avail, i still wanted to throw up and worse, i felt like i was fainting! so i summed up my courage and asked the lady in front of me if i can sit down, luckily she readily agreed! as soon as i sat down, i broke into cold sweat, my surroundings turned to black and i fell asleep. i woke up near our office already… i considered going home, but i thought i’ve been having too many sickleaves, i better not. but halfway thru the day, i knew i was really really not feeling well, i can hardly keep my eyes open! so went to the clinic and took half the day off. on the way home, i really really really wanted to barf! (sorry) so as soon as i got home, i rushed to the comfort room and did the deed and freshened up and slept till 5pm (that was around 1pm)! that night che, dear dear che, cooked me sopas so that i’d feel better. and i did… but around 10pm, i was feeling groggy yet again, so i went to sleep and woke up around 7am! can you imagine??? i almost slept the whole day away!

today was a bit better, didnt feel nauseous, but felt dead tired. i slept 2 hours when i got home… then ate then decided to write this blog instead of going back to sleep again… oh well, another sorry blog for me!

i dont know what happened to me. i dont know what’s happening to me…  some will humorously ask if im pregnant, the answer is "no"… but this better stop soon! coz my mom is already threatening to drag me home!!! wah! no no no! i cant go home just yet. too many bills to pay… too many things to save up for!

so i better start pulling my stuff together and get better real quick! or else, it’s bye bye singapore for me… wah!!!
