Pffffft… What Life?

This week, my life has been reduced to that of a college student’s: Training from 8am to 6pm, waiting for Peter until around 9pm at the office while using the time to do some research, and dinner at Harbor Square, CCP Complex until around 12 mn (where I am able to connect somehow to free wi-fi service). We get home very late, only to undress, take a bath, (try to study some more) and sleep. Then wake up around 5am and the whole process starts all over again. In short, I have no freakin’ life and I am just sooo tired! Well, on the other hand, I got to date Peter for four consecutive nights now here at COAL Resto Bar & Grill. They have super tasty dishes and they’re all our favorites! So far, we’ve ordered Sinigang na Maya-Maya twice (which at P135, is already good for 3 persons. not bad!), Quesadillas, Sizzling Sisig, Crispy Squid Heads, Adobong Kangkong, Coal Iced Tea (with orange juice & wine) and Strawberry Milkshake.

   
Our new hang-out — COAL GRILL

And yesterday night, Star, one of my wacky girfriends found Peter along Edsa while she was riding a cab. She hopped out of her taxi and  hitched a ride just so she could see me. Peter was then on his way to fetch me from work all the way from Ortigas. What a coincidence, huh!? And we had such one wacky and laughter-filled evening, even for just a short while.

This was the night Star caught me inside the training room studying!!! Ack!

Enough researching! Time for a little unwinding… 

This reminds me of the bay boulevard in Kota Kinabalu… 

Anyway, going back to my current state, my sleeping pattern has gone haywire such that I am always sleepy during the day while I can’t sleep at night. To sum up, the Phase II of our MDP Program is a stressful process of information overloading and I’m really on the brink of madness here. While I do appreciate the fact that our top management totally supports us in this scholarly endeavor, the value of MDP is quite lost along the way. Several executives from various functional groups in the entire organization have already given their lecture to the entire class followed by a quizzes, or a group project, and/or take home exams plus research work to gauge the class’ understanding of their presentation. Short-term memory is the name of the game while our notes would serve as references for the assignments and for the business immersion phase that will start on July 9. The only few and notable things that I remember from the lecture series are the following facts: that as of December 31, 2006, we have an asset of P410,000,000,000.00… we have so much money that we don’t know where to invest it anymore. It would seem that we already own most of our country’s infrastructures and land that’s why we have started the initial stages of investing abroad. So to speak, financially, it’s really a good company to be working at. I can only hope and dream that somehow, someday, I’d be able to significantly contribute something in sustaining the solvency of our pension fund. But the question is, do I have the heart and passion for it?

Enjoying free wi-fi (albeit intermittent) for three consecutive nights!!! Yay!!!! 

Right now, I don’t. And it’s further strengthened by the fact that every time an executive does a presentation, I don’t understand most of the subject matter that deals with numbers and computations, including the technical information on most of the functional units of our organization. Everyday, the desire to look for another path to take is getting stronger. I am a person who loves the arts — parties, fashion, design, events, travel, writing, the beach, etc… I wonder what kind of job would really fit me well? Being a psychedelic housewife would really rock! I’d get to do stuff I want, sleep all day long if I want to, read books, venture into a fun business, etc… Oh, Peter! Please get rich na! I can’t wait to live my life…!

 These excellent photos of Manila Bay and Harbor View that Peter took? Sa Olympus digital camera lang po namin yan!!! Astig no?

HAPPY WEEKEND FOLKS!!!
