Life goes on

... ever since I came back (five days after my dad's internment), there were a lot of changes around me.

On the way to work, the aircon jeep fare is now at Php 13, traffic is as horrible as ever. Flat rate of taxi's is now at Php 40.

Inside the building the decor was for Valentines Day.

Our floor smells like flowers and after a few days the smell of decaying flowers - reminds me of my dad's wake.

In my area, the first thing I noticed was the overdue stack of Summit magazines that were waiting to be read.
Under my table was a belated birthday gift from TV5.


Our office CR now has 2 doors before we can enter

not to mention the cabinets in the hallway have been cleared.



There is a round table in the lobby.



Work-wise even more. There is a stand for block buys and not to mention the program changes that happened in a few short weeks.


The segment has started on the day of my return.

but good to note that the goodie bags are still there. If they don't get picked-up, more for us then.



Everyone was quite surprised on my early return. How can you tell them that it's better to be here sooner than later? Besides, when the work piles up, I'll end up spending more time with OT. Then I'll really be dead.

I just try to forget, set it at the deep recesses of my mind. Last Wednesday, it did crop up. I just remembered my dad and the next moment later tears just started falling and I just couldn't stop them. Washing my face with cold water three times did nit help. Eventually I diverted my attention to the TV since Glee was showing. Thank God for the TV!

The only thing that is constant in this world is CHANGE and if I don't start adapting now, who knows how far I'll be left behind?

I have to move on. The sooner, the better because the rest of the world will not wait for me.

KRIS KRINGLE: Something Big

I never thought it would be hard to find something BIG for Php 100 pesos ($2) I short listed the following for my fashionable friend: ...a big box of tissue (useful) ...a big toblerone (but this is WAY over budget) ...a big trash bin ...a case of big oatmeal cookies (last resort) ...a big mirror ...a big bookmark (which i couldn't find anywhere) ...a BIG beer (unrelated) ...a big organizer it's quite difficult really. But I must search for something else. PRESSURE! On a side note, Jamie treated us to Pizza Hut's Lechon pizza. After eating, I felt like I would pass out at any moment due to high cholesterol but it was quite tasty if you're a fan of Lechon (roasted pig). The pizza did taste a bit like Mang Tomas' lechon sauce. A big slice of Pizza hut's lechon pizza

Ironic Cafe Monaco

Tucked in one of the building along Banawe is a quaint restaurant called Cafe Monaco. From the outside, the interiors looked cozy and perfect for hanging out with friends but I was quite surprised when I stepped inside to find out that most tables were occupied by families. And people actually are willing to wait for their turn to be seated! Kudos for that. My basis for choosing a restaurant is based on the line/wait. If the line is long or the waiting list is long, then it must be worth trying. We ate dinner at this restaurant yesterday evening and I actually loved it! It's a bit weird though that the name of the restaurant is Cafe Monaco but they serve a lot of Korean dishes. My aunt said that the owner of the place married a Korean hence the menu with Korean dishes. We tried bibimbap and at first bite, it was okay but the more you chew the better it gets. Healthy too, with little meat in the dish. Prices are friendly on the pocket too so I will definitely go back to try out thei...
