In Between

its the end of an era!!!! and dating Tobys sana renovation lang pero parang wala na talaga although i cannot be sure, but toby's shangrila branch is no more. huhu.   i am sad because this was the usual meet-up place of friends i've met through the years. but i really do hope they are just renovating.  anywayy....how was week 12?  hmmm.  i suggested to my boss that my schedule be moved from morning to midshift due to the our build hours.  build, meaning the time when they (software developers) shut down the testing environment and deploy fixes and shit.  after the build, i am required to test again.  so if let's say they build at 6PM, i would have to either wait for it to finish (which sometimes would take hours) or test the next day (since my shift ends at 530).  anyway, i figured it's better to check the build right after than have to wait the next day to see if it was successful or not.  my boss liked this idea so i start...

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 ...

ok so far i have been having a really bad couple of weeks at work.  too many issues and so many crap to deal with.  sana lang talaga matapos na ang lahat para maka-move on na ako. the last week of february was pretty hectic work-wise, but not so eventful happy time-wise.  although there were a couple of celebrations worth mentioning like my brother's birthday and his son, liam's birthday. brother dear as usual ordered pizza for his birthday dinner.  i think someone took pictures.  i wasn't able to do so because i was too lazy hahaha!  anyway, it was really fun because the entire family was present.  tamang kwentuhan/ingay lang.  i was able to try out Hawker 101 Food House, a Singaporean inspired resto located in Urban Avenue Makati City.  a bunch of my former colleagues and i decided to have lunch here this week.  bonding lang baga. we had the noodles, bacon rice, yang chow rice, hainanese chicken, fried prawns and laksa. ...
