updatesss...

so much for the daily updates... i really can't commit to the daily blog update. getting the context of a famous verse, it says "the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak." it's my 2nd failed attempt to update daily, first one was in 2011 when i launched my own 365 days project. then this one (for this year, actually). well, a lot of things happened and most of them occupied my time. it's either i'm too tired to update after a day's work or i just wanted to allot my time to my two girls when i get home from work.

1. ate B was confined in the hospital for some days. all of us, her family, relatives & friends, were all waiting for an update from my brother in law's FB status saying "Just experienced calling 911." the status was just left as is for almost a day and people started worrying what happened to them. so it was my sister. she had abdominal pains after arriving to work and the pain was too much for her to take already. they called 911 and we all waited for the results. after a day, my sister already commented and updated us through an FB comment: "from inflammed apendix to raptured appendix when they opened it up. messy and toxic so i have to stay in the hospital for a few more days. they are trying to clean up my system so pampered ako ng atibiotics."

2. a few days after, it was my brother in law's turn to get hospitalized. his foot was hurting real bad during his performance in church and later on diagnosed with renal stones... no medicines to cure it but he was advised to abstain from salty food. i was inquiring if they have buko juice there and my sister told me that they only have cranberry. tutyal! but both of us agreed that medical attention there seems lesser efficient than the attention we receive here from our nurses and other medical practitioners. iba pa rin ang alagang Pinoy! even my sister agrees that the succession of medical attention requests really take so much time. parang ayoko tuloy maospital dun sa bansa nila.

3. nairaos namin nang maayos at matagumpay ang Ilustrata Residences at PRO-FRIENDS ka rin ba? media launch. success din ang naging presscon ng Open House TV show na idinaos sa 9501 sa may ELJ building ng ABS CBN. ito yata ang unang totoong presscon na ginawa namin at natuwa rin naman ang invited media friends sa nasabing event. at the day of the Open House presscon, I have guested in Mornings @ ANC. I was a bit nervous when i was interviewed because i wasn't briefed on what questions will the host throw on me. true enough, i was asked a question that we (Open House producer) never discussed even before. here's the segment exclusively shared here in my blog:

4. highlighting the week-long activity and kicking-off our company's crystal year celebration, we ended the week with a blast! the Run for eLearning was a big success as over two thousand registered for the run and more than a thousand actually ran in the event. It was participated in by our employees, business partners, other sponsors and outside runners. it was really exhausting but the result of the event was very rewarding. congrats to the fun run team! we still have a FREE lunch courtesy of the big bosses :D

5. brought home 2 choco velvet cakes for my two girls. been missing them since the busy weeks. and even our (Sunday) family day was cut short to give way to our holy supper choir practices. i'm just thankful that wifey is very understanding. i know how she misses our time together (just like i do). even my little girl can not hide how she misses daddy. whenever i get home, she just wanted me to stay by her side. she wanted to watch TV with me, she wanted to play with me, wherever i go in the house she's behind me... awww... how touching is that? and when i tell her "punta na nga lang si daddy sa office," she would beg me not to leave. *sniff* i hope Saturday work disappears soon. let's just have a compressed five-day work-week. go, HR!

looking forward to great days. we may not have enough to spend on grand vacations but the happiness we share everyday is priceless. but yeah, a good vacation should be rewarding. any sponsors out there? ;)

next long vacation: one month form now. i hope NO ACTIVITIES will pop-up at work during that time.
