Lengua, Kare-kare, Coffee, Drumstick and "Habemus Papa"

the friday group + rodel minus elsie/tutang/cristy/eva...went out for dinner last night to welcome susan who just got back from a week's stay in Korea....just a week ha!!....and catching up on what happened..........to her or to me? If i know....it was more for me.......

Nenet wanted to eat "pork pata" cooked whatever ....twas a choice between Village Den and Mindy's.......the latter won. Gosh i ate a lot again.....all my favorites...lengua..karekare....alimango...mussels...kinilaw..... kiss my diet goodbye!!!

We had coffee afterwards.......listened to Menchie belt out the same repertoire of songs....but at least she sang my favorites...."the way you look tonight", "in my life", "love moves in mysterious ways".......and that x-cite guest singer - Bobby - was real good...guapo pa gyud!!

Rodel was not himself that night....wala kasi si tutang....she hates you del.... aguy....hahahahaha!!

After coffee and several sticks...Rodel wanted to eat ice cream....so we went to Park Cafe....and i had chocolate and cookies flavored drumstick. Grabe na "food trip".

Last night was something....first time wala ang beer which was good coz' i really planned to skip beer this week.....had beer almost every night last week.

went home past twelve.....caught the breaking news about the new pope...."habemus papa" and I got glued to the tv until 2 A.M. Di pa rin makatulog.......

missing "jesse" ...........

God bless you Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger or the 265th Pope Benedict XVI!!

" Viva Papa"

Hangovers and Transport Strike

Gee...thought i was the only one having that...feeling frazzled (my definition of hangover over the past week's event)!!

I woke up quite earlier today only to find out there was a scheduled transport strike... announced since friday and gosh, i was the last to know. I did manage to reach the office, thanks to my generous neighbor.

The day started a bit slow...

Was working rather late last night doing write up for my "raket"... then still couldn't sleep.... tried to watch a movie (the Pacifier) and dozed off....woke up at 2 A.M. to turn off the TV, DVD and aircon. There goes my energy-saving program. :(

By 9 AM, my wandering mind finally settled on doing the Project Brief for the Goats of Naawan.... and i got stuck on theBackground Information. duh!!! .... just gazing at the monitor and sees nothing.....drumming fingers....

then got a call from John....reminders....deadline....urrrgggghhhhhh!!

twas a wake up one for me.... mobilized me to continue what i started... but still couldn't go further as i still await baddy's info on the new proponent. I ended up with the documentation of our Sysdev StratPlan and reviewed the things we need to do for our meeting this saturday. I just realized i have meetings friday and saturday this week. :(

Well, sometimes i like it this way...keeping myself busy and being with friends keeps my mind off things that i shouldn't dwell upon...

PD Eliz then asked me look for a document which i think we prepared a decade ago... so i wrestled with the heavy drawers of the 2 filing cabinets, removed my shoes, lifted my skirt...:) so i can bend over... lostmy poise ....which was a useless search after all.

i'm gonna spend long nights this week coz' i haveto finish my Market Study for the Zamboanga del Sur Hospital Expansion by friday. uh hummm...

--o0o--

well.......hangover anyone? :)
