z610i Test Publish

"This is me and Ron in Aristocrat, Malate"

I gotta new phone! Whoopee! At last, after almost 2 months of waiting, the Sony Ericsson z610i finally arrived in the Philippines. I'm just so loving this phone.

I'm just testing the "Blog This" function. And yes, I chose this photo because hindi na galit si Ron. Yey!

Huwag Ka Nang Magalit, Please.

Hay naku. Nainis lang ako. Actually, kahapon pa to e. Pero kebs.

Siguro nga meron kang karapatang magalit. Or maiinis. Or kung ano pa. Pero ang sakin lang, wag ka naman sanang bastos. Hindi ko namang ginustong hindi ka makasama. Malay ko ba na meron kayong usapan ni Gerard. Ako, nagising lang ako nung umaga at tinext si Gerard. Sinabihan akong aalis kaya sumama ako.

Huwag ka nang magalit dahil hindi naman naming ginustong maiwan ka. Merong konting pagkakaiba ang ginusto at nakalimutan. Oo. Puno't dulo nun ay hindi ka nakasama pero hindi namin ginusto yun. Isang spontaneous na pangyayari yun para sa akin. Hindi ginusto pero nangyari.

This is a "just in case" post. Since you do not want to talk to me, this is my reaction. I want to explain my side, our side, of what happened. As a friend who I really treasure, I want to reach out. My initial reaction was to shut you out as well, just like what you did last night. But I changed my mind. You deserve something better. So here it is. Whenever you're ready to talk, I'm just here. You know where to reach me. Ron, don't shut us out. Magpakalma ka muna tapos kausapin mo na kami.

Pasensya talaga.

Taking It Easy

Physical and mental strain on one's self is inevitable. Yes. It happened to me. Again. A few weeks back, I was really feeling the strain of my 11 x 4 (11 hours by 4 days per week) schedule. I feel like I was crawling through my shift. Every after one, I felt so tired. All I wanted to do was go home and sleep. Thank god, that was usually the case except for some unplanned instances. But the bottomline is, I needed some rest.

So, I asked my soooper generous and gorgeous friend, Gwen, to swap shifts with me even for a month. Happy me, she agreed. So here I am now, enjoying my new normal shift (This is only applicable for people who work the graveyard shift) of 8PM to 5AM. Yey for me! This is a less toxic shift since there are less people who need help. All I gotta do is work on my daily tasks and that's about it. (Thank again, Gwennie!!!)

As the days go by (2 weeks to be exact), I can really feel some of the wellness coming back. Little by little, the energy that I once shown for work started to be there again. My attitude of do-it-now-and-definitely-not-tomorrow is indeed here again. I can feel it. The only problem is my productivity is being compromised. Why? It's because there are fewer service tickets to be processed and by the time more come in, I'm outta the office. But it's cool. I think my teammates and I will be able to work something out for these coming 2 weeks.

After our month-long swap, I'm headed to the beach for some R & R. It's gonna be a 3 day retreat that seems to be very promising. When I get back, I'll have my old 11 x 4 schedule. That's fine. I think I'm ready for that again. I wish I could have the time adjusted an hour earlier though. I'll have that addressed as soon as the proper authority comes in tomorrow. (*ehem* A)

Aahhh. I just thought about what I did. I felt the exhaustion and I properly handled it. I think I'm getting better at this taking-care-of-myself thing. Kudos to me.
