Working Girl

I have not blogged for a very long time. I have been very busy with work and have already been complaining that I do not have time for myself anymore. I wake up at 5am, bring my siblings to school, get to work before 9am, get off work by 6-6:30pm, get home by 7:30-8pm. Whenever I get home, I feel so tired and exhausted. I'm not really complaining though since I enjoy what I'm doing (what?! contradicting ah). I have fun conceptualizing, researching and photoshopping. I'm am also learning a lot about the so-called real world.

Just want to share. Last week, I went to Yeng Constantino's concert at Aliw theater. Scored a seat at the VIP. It was so-so. Wala lang... Sharing lang.

This week, everyone at work became so busy because the big bosses came. They arrived last Wednesday. We had a company dinner at Song-Do EL Pueblo (I work in a Korean Company). We walked from Belvedere Tower (San Miguel Ave. near UAP) to El Pueblo! The pollution was terrible.

It is common knowledge that Koreans love to eat and drink. I was still shocked since they drank even before eating! Chairman also did his usual rounds so all of us were not spared from having a shot of soju. They will get offended if you don't drink what they pour for you. So I had to drink one shot. And that one shot got me so drunk, I was not able to eat the main course! I did not know that soju was deadly. I drank more than 10 glasses of water and tea. What an experience! Next time, I'll make sure i drink it after the main course.

After the dinner, we went back to the office to use the restroom (bladder malfunction). My QC officemates rode with me.

We passed in EDSA and o and behold, 2 MMDA officers were flagging me. I stopped and asked what the problem was. They said that I was on the yellow lane. Yeah it was true but they also saw that I was signaling to the left. I was trying to get out of the yellow lane because I did not want to get hassled by the PUVs. It was so obvious that they were just trying t get cash coz when I said that I was going to get my ticket, the officer gave me back my license and told me that I should not stay on the yellow lane next time. Uh... duh!!! So why didn't he give me my ticket? Well, it was because the money will not go to them but the government. They did not have the right to give me a ticket because it was so obvious that it was hard to get out of the yellow lane at once since the cars won't let you cut unless you are aggressive enough. I hate the roads in this country. It is too congested!!!

Anyway, enough of that. I will rest now. I've got the flu.

I can finally have more me time. It's a holiday on Monday in the city of Pasig. woopee!!!!!
