breathe...

i've been neglecting my cyber life for quite a while now. sorry to those who thought i didn't care anymore.. i do. and i would like to hear from you too, you know. i hope even if i forget to update you, you'd still think that i am this friend you have, whether it be near or far. ;) i've just been way too busy.. i'll try to put some bits for each month:

january 2007
* sigh, didn't mean to start my year at work with a sick leave, but i did! but no deep regrets, because despite the aches and pains of the 7-hr (each way) drive, i enjoyed my San Francisco trip with my family. visited my dad's half siblings, golden gate bridge, twin peaks, fisherman's wharf.. even saw frank drilon and his family during the sunday mass.

december 2006
* (12/29) alnie's visit - ate dinner at pink's hotdog, then sushi mac, then coffee/tea @ the grove, then dessert (& dinner for alrey & arman) @ denny's..
* catering, catering, and more catering! we didn't even have time to cook for our noche buena. we just had steak & baked potato, which was fine.. yum!
* family complete! jindi arrived 12/21.. =)
* simbang gabi complete!!! =) =) =) so happy! but it was only during the third night that i started feeling the christmas season. it didn't last.. but it wasn't bad. i just didn't feel the holiday spirit for long.

november
* still arranging things at home
* i know there have been other things that kept me very busy during this month, but i can't seem to remember them now..

october
* gk marathon with banjo and ate ja. t-w-e-n-t-y- -s-i-x- -p-o-i-n-t- -t-w-o- -m-i-l-e-s whew! tiring but real fulfilling. makes one rethink the word 'impossible.' of course the whole family was there to support.
* house move - i still live far from work, but atleast june's school and mama's workplace became closer.

september
* started work 09/20. for the first few weeks, they made me go to work at 630am, which meant riding the bus at 430am. thankfully, i'm at a regular schedule now (830am-5pm). real busy at work. can't even formulate a few sentences to update my blog. anywyay, it's a seafood (fresh fish) import business, and i handle paperwork mostly. what's amusing is that i sort of am the QA too, because i ended up catching the mistakes of the people around me while i'm trying to verify my work. then, i guess since my boss saw how attentive to detail i am, i also ended up gathering the information we share on email to use them to make procedural documents. huh.

august
* had a part time job for two and a half weeks, packing cellphone parts (charger, back housing, bar codes). twas fun hehe.. although i had to keep myself awake by talking almost nonstop on the phone with myca2k.. which was ok, since i was just in one corner of the warehouse. maybe i just looked a bit weird sometimes, laughing all by myself or something hehe.. good thing this was also the month when i switched my prepaid phone to join my sister's family plan, which had 1000 text messages, about 700 hundred shared minutes, and free cingular-to-cingular calls..

updates good enough? hope so.. this entry is also helping me assess part of 2006. when i have more time, i think i need to look back some more, because i know last year was pretty messed up for me. i want to try and make sense of what i've done.
