Happy Hearts' Day!

..to everyone.

Hay! I'm a bit sluggish right now. Probably I'm still tired of last night's OT. I went home around 9 pm last night as I was literally swamped with rush requirements from everyone..whew! Or perhaps I'm lazying because of the mood where deliveries of roses, chocolates and teddy bears are a common sight since this morning not only here in the office but moreso outside.

Well, am not envious as I already got mine. My husband never fails to surprise me. Despite agreeing that we would no longer send each other flowers (as we would do yearly) since we'll go malling, or perhaps, "date" would be better to describe it..this evening...and it would just be bulky..carrying and malling around with a bouquet of roses on hand. He still surprised me with a dozen of roses this morning...personally delivered by himself here in the office. (See..it benefits us both talaga that our workplaces are just near hehe!)

Hay, I don't mind carrying it tonight while malling, bi. Your sweetness is so much appreciated. Don't worry I'll clock out early this afternoon hehe! luv u for life!

Roundup.

Huwat! It's Friday already...oh let me rephrase that...Thank God it's Friday! The week went just fine...work's just okay, generally..everything went well.

Monday - typical day at work. Responded to lotsa lotsa emails which were sent over the weekend. My lunch at Max's was on Joy and Bel. Lucky them, they got their Sick Leave conversions. Went home at about 6 pm. Paul's officemate offered us a ride home and we were dropped off near Shopwise. We intended to just buy my cravings lately which is Dunkin's Boston Kreme. We ended up bringing home 6 Shopwise plastic bags plus 6 pcs of donuts, of course. Napa-grocery ng di oras..lolz!

Tuesday - processed a few Purchase Orders at work. Responded and read a multitude of emails ulit. Lunch AGAIN was on Bel and Joy. Lucky me, am I not? We had lunch at Avenetto in Glorietta and we feasted on on our fave...Oil & Garlic Pasta Special yummy! Went home around 7 pm. Ater eating dinner, Paul and I headed to their basketball game in Rockwell. This was my third time to watch and hooray...panalo sila. Paul scored 2 points hehe! That's my Michael Jordan!

Wednesday - as always, email galore. Lunch at our pantry but since Bel and I couldn't take in our concessionaire's food, we opted for a KFC delivery. Got kinda pissed off with one transaction..hay! They're rushing their request and yet, the requirements aren't complete arggh! Our group's supposed to have our Project Updates in the afternoon but our boss was swamped with meetings left and right. The meeting was moved to Thursday morning. Went home early because of the cancelled meeting. However, since it was a wednesday...off we drove to QC. (Just to recap our weekly sched since we got married: Sundays evening till Wednesdays pm - we stay in my parents' house in Makati. Wednesdays 'til Sunday noon - we stay in my in-laws' abode in QC.)

Thursday - meeting with the group the whole morning. Since a lot of our time was consumed in the meeting, Bel and I just had our Jollibee lunch in our workstations. Went home early...5:30 on the dot. We had to go home early since it's Father-in-law's birthday and we have to buy pa Pansit Malabon near Crossings (NBS). While the pansit was being prepared, we wandered muna in National Book Store. We bought a Sudoku (logical game of number puzzles) and the 2006-2007 Bride's Yellow Pages. It's not that I'm back with any wedding preps, pero it's a good reference kasi..especially with my work as a Purchaser. Pwede talaga naming magamit sa group. Went home then had a pansit dinner with the family. Later, I had to fulfill a CT duty since most of my co-team members were sending Katie their LOs already. I had to finish this last night:

Posted on my DST gallery. Please leave me some love. :)

I managed to do this in just about 30 minutes. Thanks to Katie's Visual Stories Template Set which is available here. Actually, even if you're not into digiscrapping, you can use this template set on your blogs for showcasing picture sets or picture stories.

Friday - Last day of the week in the office. Rushed all POs that need to be finished. We had lunch in Oliver's-Salcedo. Since another colleague will be leaving, food flooded our Huddle Room ulit. We had Spaghetti, Amber's pichi-pichi (again), and Yellow Cab Pizza. Clocked out at 7 pm...arrgghhh! we drove from makati to qc for 2 freaking hours! 9 pm na kami nakauwi and nakapagdinner. Traffic was so bad in Sta. Mesa. Wawa naman hubby-slash-driver ko.

Hay..thank God it's Friday...what a tiring week! Can't wait to rest this weekend and of course, digiscrap some more. By the way, an EB is scheduled with the Bebot Digiscrappers tomorrow in Galleria..am just not sure if I can join. We'll check our sched pa pero..I'd love to see and meet the persons behind the forum nick and creative LOs.

Happy Weekend everyone! Lapit na Valentines...and one month to go, tatanda na naman ako. :)

New week.

==Sunday evening thoughts=
whhhat? Tomorrow's Monday again? yikes..I wonder how MUCH workload awaits me in the office especially that I didn't come in for 2 full days. well, let's just see. I just hope that traffic tom is not as bad as last Monday. I hate Mondays! WaaahhHh!

Since my fever kept me away for some time from the puter, I was able to finish only 2 LOs for this weekend:

sick.

My previous entry entailed how I pigged out early this week. Ironically for the rest of my week, my taste buds abhored any food that was served. Eh kasi naman, Wednesday night, I went home with a weak, feverish feeling. Added to that siguro was the pagod brought about by work, frustrations, disappointments & issues na nadiscuss sa meeting (which kung di pa nagsu-subside ang inis ko eh baka mablog ko one of these days), and yung empty feeling pag-uwi sa bahay kasi that day was the flight of my dad and stepmom back to Saudi. So back-to-the-usual-aalog-alog-na-house ang uuwian namin sa Makati. Then that night, I went home alone kasi may basketball game pa sina Paul somewhere in Rockwell. I didn't get to watch na kasi 7 pm yung game while may meeting pa nga kami up to that time.

I collapsed on my bed upon reaching home sa pagod. Tried to eat, pero a few spoonfuls lang of kaning may sabaw ng Tinola ang nakain ko. I readied myself to rest na and just texted hubby to come home right away after the game. Thermometer scaled 38.3 deg C. Waaahhh, natuluyan na ako sa lagnat.

I didn't report for work on Thurs and Fri kasi I feel so weak and was having chills frequently. Thurs night, temp went up as high as 39.5 (nasa QC house na kami nun). Will have a check-up sana but Friday mid-am, I was feeling ok na. I was well taken care of kasi by my dear hubby who took a half-day leave last Thurs as well as my in-laws who constantly checked on me, how I was feeling every now and then. My FIL even rushed to the drugstore immediately realizing that we ran out of stocked antibiotics.

So if you noticed, it's only now that I get to publish the drafts I made earlier this week. I was kept away from the puter while I was sick. Hay! Pero it's a good thing talaga na oks na ako this weekend..at least pede na ulit mag-computer and digiscrap hehe!

Monday - we had our department's general assembly and much to our delight, lunch was not on us. While our director was having a talk, we were allowed to quietly feast upon our Max's Platter Meals consisting of 1/4 Max's Chicken, pancit canton, plain rice, caramel bar and coke.

Tuesday - my colleagues and I trooped all the way to Greenbelt as we were all salivating over Wendy's burgers for lunch. While my companions both ordered Bacon Mushroom Melt Combo Meal, I opted to eat Spicy Chicken Fillet + Regular Fries + Regular Coke PLUS Macaroni Salad.

Back in the office and four hours later, we were all discreetly called and headed to our Huddle Room for a colleague's surprise pizza birthday/despedida party. We indulged on two boxes of Pizza Hut's Family Meat Lovers Pan Pizza + two boxes of Family Hawaiian Pan Pizza.

Fast forward to dinner time at home, my parents ordered 1 bilao of Buddy's Pancit Lucban and my all-time fave sisig since may mga guests din sila last night.

Wednesday - We had Yellow Cab's Charlie Chan Chicken Pasta and Spicy Chicken Wings for lunch.

For merienda, same colleague whom we surprised yesterday with a pizza party treated us naman with Amber's Pansit and the ever-famous pichi-pichi.

Nagutom ba kayo? Don't you wish kasama kayo sa food trip ko?
