Let’s Drink To That

That is a term I coined to describe how we were reprimanded by our immediate boss. That would be the equivalent of ’sinabon’ in Tagalog.

Hehe. Anyway, it was sort of a wake up call on our part, especially on my part as a trainee, as I do have a tendency to slack off when the going gets easy. And it wasn’t much of what you’d call a tongue-lashing as in a way, it was, as I said, a wake up call, as if we were held in the shoulders and shook up from our stupor. It made me realize that I still had an uphill climb ahead as to the things that I would have to learn as a novice drilling engineer, and the wide range of topics that I still have to cover (*sigh*). There’s still bit hydraulics, well casing cementing, and not to mention completion testing. Sorry if I might sound like I am babbling here. LoL.

Anyway, I am glad that I was ’soaped’. Sure it may be an ego buster. Cmon, whoever would want to have their boss giving them a mouthful of how dismal their performance is, right? However, It’s always the realizations afterwards that count. It’s not in the falling down but in the getting up part.

Time to turn up my gear into overdrive..

Sounds like the end of the world right? LoL. I was just referring to the end of my vacation leave, my wedding leave, honeymoon leave, or whatever you’d like to call it. LoL. Borski and I are quite busy opening our gifts before I would leave for my next job assignment in Bacolod. And it didn’t help that we were both down with the flu.

Anyway, I’d be leaving for Bacolod later today. I hope to be able to post as much, which I think would be quite challenging as I already had my Smartbro account there discontinued. Will just post updates if and when I can. Ciao.

Today is Borski’s birthday and she will be turning 29. It will be a whole day celebration since we will be partaking of the food left over from the wedding celebration yesterday.

We will be having early breakfast and yes, it will be another grand celebration because Borski’s aunts/uncles and immediate family will be with us. We will be joined in by her parents, her brothers Charles and Ace, and sisters-in-law Tere and Lyn, as well as her nephew CT. Of course, her birthday celebration would not be complete without the ice cream. LOL.

To Borski, here’s to having more years to your life, and more life to your years! Cheers! Let’s drink to that!

We are taking the plunge tomorrow!!

If I were to describe my feelings right now, I could say that I am overly anxious, and a lot of things are running through my head at the moment, thoughts revolving mainly on the scenarios that could possibly crop up tomorrow, thoughts like the wedding and reception ceremonies being in total disarray. But come to think of it, I guess I am not at all that worked up. In a way, I have already conditioned myself not to get overly stressed thinking about it. After all, it would only be possible triggering causes for pimple breakout, and I sure could not use any of those right now. LOL. I guess the major reason why Borski and I are not so worked up and stressed (or at least just at manageable levels) is due to the efficiency of the wedding coordinator we hired.

I could genuinely say, and I mean it when I say, “Thank God for wedding coordinators!”

Let’s drink to that! Cheers!

I was surprised today when I got home to find that we had a new addition to our family of pets. We had a new cute little fella by the name of ‘Batchoy,’ a Dachshund. He is barely three months old and just full of energy. Of course he receives so much pampering from my brothers naturally because he is the ‘bunso’ among the gang. Now Kobe and Carla have a new playmate.

I hope to be able to post a pic of this new addition on one of the posts in here..
