Wonderings of an Aimless Mind

Ever since I discovered this URL: www.neopets.com I was unable to update this "journal" constantly. I posted some pictures but that was it. I was so consumed with mah pet, "Lilachues" whose pic I had posted here also. She was just way cute and very easy to play with (imagine the time I was able to use up just to earn that much neopoints!). Honestly, it was also a good way to "waste" time while waiting for a call to come. Unfortunately they just banned that site from the floor so all I could do right now is to play with them on the sly, hehehe! You can't blame me for not giving up right? Besides, nobody would want to just let their pets die because of hunger... that definitely is under the category, "cruelty to animals".

So here goes my update for the previous entries:

MYLK get together with mah friends from PS:

***Last July 29, 2004 me, Cris, Rico, Gwen, Wylmer and a friend Rico went to Greenbelt for a little dinner at MYLK. This was a sort of unplanned get together because we just finished out training for VIP and email touch-points. For me, this would be the first time I would going with my batchmates. I actually ditched a meeting just so I could go to this impromptu dinner. The food was great, especially the one I ordered (which I have already forgotten by this time) and the coffee (courtesy of Seattle's Best) was heavenly. We had a lot of fun gossiping about the latest happenings on the floor and our various "issues" against the "bad elements" we were forced to work with. After exhausting all the possible topics, me and Cris went home while the rest went on to Malate. I was tempted to go on to Malate but I felt that I also would not enjoy because i was bone-tired already. And so, I just went home to sleep 'coz I also have to go to work the next night.

KG Meeting for the BB project:

***Last August 8, 2004 I went to the meeting for the Bantay Bata project. This project is being pushed by the KG's I have met on the internet. One could say that this is a very controversial undertaking because there was an ongoing issue as to who would spearhead this activity. For me, the issue was very petty and should not have been blown out of proportion by anybody. This meeting also also served as an EB for the members of the group. This was also the first time I used up one of my PTO's (yehey!!!). BTW, the picture I have posted is courtesy of Huey - thanks!

"Mini-Reunion" w/ former co-employees from SPPEI:

***I went to Podium last August 18, 2004 to meet up with old friends from my former company, SPPEI. It was a blast seeing those people again (Sarah, Jeannie, and Ian). Winston was supposed to join us but being Winston, he backed out of the meeting that same day. We first had dinner, which was very satisfying considering the fact that we were first unsure of the place 'coz that would be the first time we would be eating there. We had the usual "chika session", with Jeannie standing in with the role as our informer. We (sarah and me) also found out that Ian had already tendered his resignation and it's effectivity date was friday the week before our meeting. Since we were kept in the dark regarding that piece of tidbit, it was questions galore for him that night. It was then that I learned that Ms. Bernie appreciated all the things I have done for her when I was still under her management (thank god for little miracles!). After dinner, Sarah had to go home (yup, she still has a curfew) so we just stayed for a while in Starbucks then we went straight to Katips. FYI, this would be my first ever "drinking session" again since I transferred jobs. I had 3 shots of curant 7 while my drinking buddies drank beer. Even though its was a weekday, the place was full of people and I truly enjoyed myself. We all went home at about 1 am 'coz Jeannie's mom kept texting us to go home na.

Birthday Celebration of Rosey:

***We (Rosey and Me) celebrated her birthday last August 23, 2004 at Max's. Since it's Rosey I'm going out with, it's back to same old routine - me picking her up at her house and then proceeding to the place of celebration. This celebration was also a venue to play catch-up with each other's lives 'coz we seldom get to see each other. She's very busy with her professional career while I on the other hand do not have a "normal" schedule. To be honest, I'm so happy for her, for what is happening with her life. I already promised myself that since she seem to be real happy with her bf, I'll just let her be and not let my personal opinion about her bf burst her bubble. Anyways, we had a fun night out... I also realized how much I missed our easy and uncomplicated friendship. How I wish, we could turn back time for just a little while and be, once again, the carefree teenagers of UPIS batch '96.
