Holidays were proclaimed on September 9 and September 10 here in Cebu and I’m glad cause I won’t have to work on those days! I work in a department that has its days off during holidays so I’m glad that the announcement came in sooner than I thought.

I’m currently in Hongkong on a vacation and now I will have some more time to rest in order to take a break. We’ll see what will happen when I get back to the office. It’s actually almost two weeks worth of paid leave which is really exciting. Now, if only they could extend it a bit more.

I got upset knowing that August 23 is supposed to be a holiday but it’s been moved back to its actual date. I get time off during holidays but with the recent changes due to the new President’s policies, I may have to work more often compared to the previous years.

I requested to have my schedules swapped as I already booked some trips on the supposed holiday. Now I’ll be working over the weekend in order to catch up on the work and have some productivity delivered at the office. Bummer.

We’re back to doing overtime work at the office which is a bummer. I thought that with the minimum number of leaves that were filed, we could’ve met expectations at the end of the month. But NO, we have to render overtime in order to keep up with the tasks.

Anyway, it will be good cum salary but it doesn’t give an impact that much. I’m just doing some extra work in order to pay for the quota in advance. Freelance work is keeping me busy.

It’s Friday! I plan to go home so I can sleep right away. Somehow, my after-office hours are dedicated at home while surfing the internet. I do my freelance work at home and as of now I’m swamped with tasks that require me to write articles. But I’m loving the job since I’m not as pressured as before. I can dedicate my time into coming up with good blog entries for my travel site which I am also starting to get serious with.

It’s a fly day but I’m still saving up so I’m not spending a lot. I’m going somewhere by September and I hope I’ll reach foreign soil and step on new grounds to help broaden my mind.

It’s midweek and I’m all pooped from all the work that has been plaguing me. I got used to the previous weeks of having a day off because of leaves that were filed in advance. Now I’m already weak and I still have two more days left.

I need to sleep but I still have some pending articles that I need to work on in order to get something in return. I better start writing.

For a  moment, I wasn’t able to sleep properly. Though it wasn’t the case that was filed, I’m still part to blame for the mishap, a large part of it actually.

Now I feel better knowing that it wasn’t really that big of a deal  to most people. It was a slap in the face so that privileges won’t be abused and it had done me good in reminding me of what I have and what I’m responsible for.

After a week, I hope it will just be a fading memory.

after all.

All the while I thought I was the culprit. Now I don’t have to regret or feel guilty about anything anymore. I saw it with my own eyes and now I’m ready to be mediocre and avoid any sudden movements before consequences will turn into something big again.

I’m safe now.

She’ll be flying off to outer space and she’ll be living her dream of travelling; maybe it’s not what she’s always wanted but she can get part of her wants into reality. I’m glad for her actually. It’s always nice and inspirational when you see people get the things that they want. Maybe I’ll follow suit… or maybe not.

the dust.

And so it happened. These days, we’ve been losing people and it’s still processing in my mind how time suddenly has gone too soon and how we’re becoming less relevant.

I guess I’m just waiting for my time to come through; waiting in vain that is.

anyway… I don’t suppose it’s worth the price, the price that I would pay….

So much for that.
Been thinking things over again, been trying to read the signs. Of course, I shouldn’t preempt because I don’t want to assume but what if? This week had been really tough for me with all the compliances I needed to follow up on as well as some small tasks that I needed to start working. This is both in my freelance job as well as my current day job. It’s eating up my time and I know I have to choose between the two.

I should be thankful that I have lots of jobs but again, I need to concentrate on one so I can focus and provide more value to the effect afterwards.

It’s the weekend again and I’m spinning articles still so I can submit them to different article directories. I better start doing it too.
