I feel sick again. For the past 3days, I haven’t gotten my complete 8 hours of sleep so I settled for 5-6 hours but then I’m sure now… nde talaga enough, I wonder how people can manage to be energetic with 5 hours of sleep, I can barely open an eye! Yesterday, I set the alarm at 8 knowing that I should be at the office by 10 for my client meeting at 11. Gudlak! I just pressed snooze until I was able to make myself get up. I was thinking while I was trying to sleep some more. It’s cold, I need hot water for my bath… but then sobrang tamad ko bumangon so what I did was hug my pillow and hugged my blanket closer… Tsalap matulog. I feel like I never got out of school, I still count the days to weekend. Like now, I have 1 more working day before my weekend starts and sleeping all day will prevail but not this weekend, I need my dose of TV shows… I haven’t seen much TV this week due to my lack of sleep so I need to watch some TV… TV and CSI NY are what I’m planning this weekend. I will finish up CSI NY.
After going on vacation for 1 week, how do people manage to get back on their feet? My body is not used to this. I’m a workaholic. I usually just have a hard time waking up but when I get in the office I usually manage to find something to do. But for today, holy crap! I haven’t done anything worthy to get paid. Nah… my presence pala is worthy… hehehehe…
After eating with my boss, he’s going to Davao this week so he treat me to lunch. Yellow Cab, charlie chan pasta and hot chili wings plus pistachio and vanilla ice cream for desert. Could that be the reason I’m all tired today??? Because I started my day by eating too much… Promise, masarap. Plus my client e-mailed late that he couldn’t make it our 11meeting. Bummer! After I had to wake up an hour earlier than my normal waking hours… Kliyente tlaga!!!
I’m sleepy. 3 more grueling hours of work… Hay…

Boracay escape...
I’m back in the decadent metro. I just got back from a week of vacation…and needless to say, I’m still under the vacation bug. A week of no work and all play is still in my blood. I’m still relishing the idea of waking up and putting on my swimsuit to lie down the beach for a whole day. The feel of the sun on my skin and the smell of the beach are still fresh on my senses. Too bad that when reality set in, I have to wake up and get back to work.
Well, we left for Kalibo last Monday, right after the typhoon Milenyo hit us. There’s no backing out now… We had this trip planned months before so typhoon or no typhoon, we are really going to Boracay. There was even a news that another typhoon was coming Monday afternoon. We arrived in Kalibo around 4pm and we had all the transfers arranged so we just hopped in the van for our 2hour ride to Caticlan. Almost there, but not quite. Halfway to Caticlan, I got a call from a friend who’s already in Boracay, she left in the morning, telling me the last boat trip to Bora from Caticlan has been cancelled due to heavy rain. I was shocked and worried. Where are we going to eat? Well, yeah.. that was the first thing that popped in my mind because I was already hungry. Hehehe.. Anyway, the driver had radioed to other drivers and we were informed that they will still try to give us a boat ride to Bora. When we arrived in Caticlan, it was already 6pm and because of the rain, it was already dark. So much for picture taking on our way to Bora. We were just scared to ride a smaller paddle boat to take us to a bigger boat that would eventually take us to Bora. The smaller paddle boat was the scary part. And when I think about it, the scary part was the fun part. Hehehehe… I only thought about that now… Maybe because I’m safely tucked in my comfort zone now.
After eating dinner in Boracay, we went back to Hey Jude – where we’re billed for the week. After the Monday rain, we had sunshine… yes! There was sunshine in Bora. It was hot and sunny on that part of the country except for some really windy moments, we were blessed with sunshine. We had a lot of fun lying under the sun and playing with the waves. Jonah’s fruit shakes are a treat. I tried the mango rum and the mango banana shakes. We tried the food at Christina in Boracay Regency, Sealovers, Ole, Bite Club, Hey Jude… and for partying and drinking… we went to BomBom… I loved Bombom… but I think my friend Lei loved it more. Hey Lei? We also tried Juice in Plazoleta, Rumba’s in d’ mall and for dancing… we dove in the frenzy of Summer Place. And for water action, we tried the paraw, a sailboat that took us around the island with the waves lapping us.
We thought that staying for 5days was enough but on our way back… It was just sad. Was it sad because we’re going back to work or was it sad because we actually met some people whom we enjoyed talking and partying. Well, Lei my good friend is the big winner… Hmnnn… I even wonder if our next stop is going to be… China? Hahahaha…
I had fun… lots of fun… a week of no work… That’s a luxury a lot of us are not very privileged to have. I had to beg my boss for this vacation for months.
As I get back to work today. With my tan and my mind still lying on the beach. I start to wonder… will I ever get something done today? this week? I certainly hope so.
