week 11 was probably the shortest work week for me so far. but just because it was short (i only went to work for 3 days), it doesn't necessarily mean i had it easy.
as mentioned before, my project is in system testing mode. from a BA's point of view (assuming you also play the role of the QA), this is the worst phase ever. thankfully, i am not yet suicidal. but i am really really REALLY stressed. not just because of the work load. it's more of the anticipation of what's to come in the next few weeks. i've seen this scenario before. from my experience, with the kind of output the team is producing versus the timeline...we are definitely in a shitty place.
i was on SL tuesday because my molar band ring flew out of my mouth and had to be cemented back by the orthodontist. it only took her about an hour or so to get everything back in. but i opted to stay at home for the rest of the day because (again) of the stress. i felt i needed to cool off a bit.
but really, when you get a day off from work, it doesn't help much. it just prolongs the agony of having to face the situation again. i really need a better (and a more long-term) solution to this problem.
thursday night, i agreed to a badminton game thingie with my friends at work. i didn't play because i don't have the equipment nor the sporty vibe to be part of the game. but i went along because i like watching sports. i took a couple of photos of the court.

after that, we had a nice midnight snack at banchetto. if you are a foodie, this is the place to be.
 |
| meron rin nito sa ortigas along emerald ave every Friday naman |
the area was pretty small, but it was alright. everything was so tasty looking but i wasn't very hungry. next week, i'm hoping to visit this place again.
 |
| lots of people coming here to eat |
 |
| unsuspecting sina kuya sa camera |
 |
| yes they sell street food too! |
 |
| masarap ang burger! |
 |
| ang daming choices for one place noh? |
 |
| for those who have a sweet tooth |
 |
| pili lang kuya! |
i had a full day last Friday. i took a leave because i had stuff to do. i can't detail it here because...some of these appointments are sensitive (haha!). let's just say i overbooked. 4 major appointments that day. 9am. 1pm-4pm. 5:30pm and a 6pm-9pm. it was a riot. and my only meal from 9am-5pm was this:
 |
| sarap! |
 |
| mushroom and cheese omelette. lent kasi hehe. |
 |
| hindi puno ang place kasi early pa. pero bandang hapon mukha syang jollibee |
ok to be fair, the 6pm-9pm was a children's party for josh's 7th birthday. i grabbed a few pics from facebook.
 |
| haberdi joshua! |
 |
| happy kids |
 |
| kulot salot! |
 |
| i miss this crowd! |
so i made it a point that my weekend will not be so hectic. para naman makabawi ang katawan ko. i woke up around 1pm. then, i went malling for a few hours at megamall and shangrila. at rustans supermarket...i saw an old classmate from college.

| SPOTTED: carlo grocery shopping! |
it was funny because best friend and i were just talking about him sometime last week. he has been MIA in facebook, text and yahoo messenger. so he made the following explanations:
Facebook:
-forgot the password
-created new account
Text/Call:
-new number
-because i always change numbers
YM:
-has virus
-no longer logging in
so there. mystery solved!

since i haven't been at work for the last 3 days, i am quite anxious to see my inbox tomorrow. i know i am in for a good spanking. hahaha! i haven't really been focused for a long time. i don't know what's wong. i will definitely pray for a sign so i would know what my next move will be.
