Time off is appreciated. There are no deadlines to beat. There is no urgency to come in early. I can relax and do “what” I desire for eight or so hours and still get paid!
Facebook is wonderful filler. Status updates, photos, videos, games, quizzes and the list goes on. I wonder how one can get bored. Then again, it is tiresome to add “s” to “http”. What a waste of time!
I move on those various instant messengers. However, I am not a friendly person. Thus, I do not have a huge selection of people whom I can engage with decent conversations. Then again, most often, many have a lot on their plates. So why bother to chitchat.
Of course, the most obvious thing to do is to explore the World Wide Web. There are tons of things to discover --- trivia, news, events --- random stuff with sense or whatnot. Then again, eyes eventually get sore. Back begins to get sore.
Okay, I can relax and do what I want in exchange for some sort of sense of fulfillment at the end of the day. Boredom can kill. Honestly. I am going nuts!
When will I ever be contented?

On Cutting
When the Cat is out the Mouse will come out to play.
The Cats were out so the mice maximized and took advantage of the situation. We jumped inside a cab like sardines and off we went to Rockwell to get some grub. It did not take us long. It was just like a trip to a world full of choices. Finally our Pepper Lunch yearning was answered!
Question: how long can we keep mum about this?

On Lessons Learned the Hard Way
“God ALWAYS forgives. People SOMETIMES forgive. Nature NEVER forgive”
Ondoy hit the Metropolis badly. Almost 80% was underwater. Hello Waterworld! But thank you because without you I will not be more thankful and blessed.
Proper Urban Planning
Real Estate builders or homebuilders should wisely consider where they would develop a community. Extensive research, meaning long term, must be done! Water level history, earthquake account, location, drainage systems and the like must be considered. One must disregard whatever development if research says the area is prone to danger.
Cutting Tress
Trees are our friends. They serve as shade during sunny or rainy days. They give us nutrition. They give us a place to live. They save us from landslides. So why uproot them?
No Useless Littering
Responsible throwing of trash can go a long way. It can improve the drainage system; prevent icky floating stuff during floods; avoid awful stench; especially help save Mother Nature. As they say, Basura mo, Itapon mo.
:)
Pinoys somewhat find a way to take pleasure in the current circumstance -- even if houses are submerged in water or every material possession was lost. Pinoys still have the energy to smile and wave for the camera. Kids even enjoy the new pool and jump from a lamppost! Yabang Pinoy!
Bayanihan
Its amazing how people from different lifestyles come as one for one goal. Volunteers of different ages. Donations from everywhere! It is SO overwhelming! I just hope that evil people will not take advantage.
“Often it takes some calamity to make us live in the present. Then suddenly we wake up and see all the mistakes we have made.”

On This Game
YOU have caused me so much pain. I have given YOU a huge part of my existence. I divided my family life to accommodate YOU. I turned down socials and trips in preparation for YOU.
After everything that I did for YOU, I still fell short. All the sacrifice and hardwork never seemed to be sufficient. I always ended up second… third… of fourth, but never the first.
Did YOU ever love me? Is there even sense if I still pursue YOU? Is it even worth it to give YOU another go? On the other hand, should I walk away from YOU to avoid the opportunity of more pain?
How is life without YOU? Would it still be worth living?
I love this game, but do YOU love me?

On Monday, September 7
Hi Team
Over this week-end, Malacanang has issued another announcement that the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) Industry and the Electronics Industry will be exempted from the non-working holiday tomorrow, September 7, 2009. Therefore, please be advised that tomorrow is a regular working holiday at XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXX because our company belongs to the BPO industry.
As this has caused confusion to our employees, and in the interest of time before the day begins tomorrow, I am issuing these guidelines:
· For those on billable projects, please come to work and lodge your time to your billable charge code. Please pass the word around (or SMS) to all concerned in your teams.
· For those whose billable projects are at the clients’ site in Metro Manila, it will be a non-working holiday for the client if their industry is not BPO or Electronics. If the client requires you to report for work onsite or offsite, please do so, otherwise, I suggest you take Sept 7, 2009 as a vacation leave upon the approval of your project managers.
· For those on the bench, you may take your vacation leave upon the approval of XXXXX XXXXXXXX.
· Employees in the support group may take their vacation leave only if approved by your managers.
For those taking vacation leaves tomorrow, please make sure to file your leaves in the Leave Management System (LMS). I am extending the LMS filing deadline to Sept 8, 2009 because of the situation.
Thank you.
