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!

Originally, our posting at our head office at Fort Bonifacio was just supposed to go on for a month, from Sept. 1 to 28. However, we had gotten word that we were to be extended ‘until further notice’ on this posting. This was unwelcome news because apart from not receiving our ‘hazard pay’ (which is one of the benefits that we receive when we are posted on the field), I had already quite gotten used to our field schedule, which was entirely unlike the schedule at the head office with was on a regular 8 to 5 shift.

Oh well, when we transferred to our new department, we always knew there was that possibility of us being rotated and being posted in our head office. The only thing that bothered us was the ‘until further notice’ part as this sounded so vague, and who knew, we could be posted here for 6 months for all I know.

I am crossing my fingers that it doesn’t at all happen like that and that we would have a definite term, say until the end of October. Also, our date with destiny is fast approaching…October 11 is barely a month away…

sigh…

Correction, here ‘we’ come.

Just drew the short straw today, and we were lucky enough to be the first group to be posted at our head office at Fort Bonifacio come Sept. 1.

AFter the culmination of our month-long classroom instruction at our Leyte Geothermal Production Field (LGPF), we were divided into three groups, to be distributed to our different sites all over the country. One group would be posted in Bacolod, and the other group at Bacman, Sorsogon.

While we will be there, we will hopefully be learning on the mechanics of contract administration and being part of the technical support team of all our other groups on the field. Personally, I am welcome to this development, so long as all of us gets equal opportunities to be posted at our head office. I just have one apprehension though..being the promdi that I am, I hope not to get lost in the place they call Manila…hahaha.

On a happier note, I will be leaving for home tomorrow…in time to reach Dumaguete for my birthday…yey!

Yay! It seems i just get the chance to post once every month. LOL. I am currently staying at the housing complex of our Leyte office, which is a 30-minute trip from Ormoc City.

Just a while ago, the Smartbro connection here at the housing unit where we stay at has just been repaired. It was damaged during typhoon Frank and it took them this long to restore the connection. Anyway, what’s important is we already have a connection here. Hopefully I can also find time to post because nowadays, I just cant find time to do the juggling.

I’ll be staying here for the duration of our 1 month training here in Leyte so hopefully I’ll be back in Dumaguete by the last week of August.

Anyway, I do hope to be able to post more in the next few days..

Weeew! I know, i know. I haven’t been online much the past month. Blame it on the busy-ness (kuno lol), and the fact that I have recently been living high up there in the mountains. I am now in Dumaguete, and I haven’t been home for quite a while. My folks are in the US now and they won’t be home until the 17th so we are pretty much left to fend for ourselves right now. hehe..

Regarding my hiatus, I have recently transferred to another department in the company where I work for, and right now, I am undergoing training as a drilling engineer, and this will be going on for the next 7 or so months. While on training and while on the job, I will be staying on the staff house, which is on site, and there is no internet connection there.

But hey, looking on the bright side, I am enjoying free board and lodging, and not to mention that when I will be done with my training, I will have more opportunities to work outside the country for $$$..lol. As of now, I still have to make sacrifices which will hopefully pay off in the near future. Talk about long term planning.

This big new world that has unraveled in front of me has been quite challenging, and has me learning from the school of hard knocks..and many times have I literally knocked myself on the head for acting stupid. But hey, I am learning, albeit the hard way. But I am learning, and that is what matters, right?

So right now, I am learning to be a “jack of all trades” hehehe. Hopefully, I will be able to master even just one. LOL :-p

Yet again, I changed the theme once more. Hehe.

I remember growing up, whenever someone keeps changing his mind, he is likened to a girl, perhaps attributing that unique trait of always changing his mind to that of a female. Well, I don’t know if there is any  truth to that. Anyway, it is quite nice to break the monotone every once in a while don’t you think?

This theme is called Silver Sleek, another theme I downloaded off of the WordPress collection of free themes.

Guess what else is new?

Ummm..you might’ve noticed that the blogroll widget on the 2nd sidebar already has a scrollbar..that’s all thanks to Roselle for putting up with my bugging her to teach me how she did it on her page. Haha! Actually, I wasn’t able to do it like the way she described it in the post because when I followed the instructions to the detail, it still didn’t give the results that were shown like that in here site. So I did some experimenting with the theme editor (the sidebar.php) and viola! haha..in Visayan, the term would be “chamba”.

Toink!

Just about finished installing all the plugins here, as well as the cbox..and yeah! got 2 links in the blogroll page already. hehe. I hope to be able to see the list grow in the next couple of days so I guess there is much work to be done, and more importantly, many people and sites to visit.

Anyway, didn’t feel at all sleepy up until about now (4:28 a.m.) since I slept through most of the hours in the day earlier, coming from night shift work so I guess you could say that my body clock is messed up at the moment. But still, I think it is still ok since I won’t be working until around 2pm later today.

While doing the usual online stuff, I was also watching “Meet Joe Black” on HBO, so you could say that I was taking it easy. Add to that, we were on a conference with Kerslyn and Borski on YM. Talk about multitasking. LOL. Anyway, still, we couldn’t be on a voice conference as I don’t think that that is still possible with the Windows Vista OS. Which gives me an idea to try and look up this particular problem and search for possible writeups regarding this one. You never know, maybe there are already available updates for YM to enable voice conferencing on a Windows Vista OS.

Also, tried signing up for UnionBank’s EON cyber account but it seems that their registration page is down at the moment, so I think I’ll try that again tomorrow.

I guess that’ll be all the cyberwork for now, and I will have to continue with the crusade tomorrow.

I have changed the theme once again. I guess the dark theme was too unwelcoming, so I am opting for this one instead. By the way, this theme is GlamourYellowRed which I found from WordPress’ own database of themes. I think this will be the final theme (fingers crossed) as I find it soothing to the eyes and the layouting quite suits my taste (urmmm, I didn’t know I had taste LOL)

Anyway, as I said before, much more needs to be done, like the cbox and the bloglog, much like what we did with our first site, so I guess that will follow little by little. After I get those done, then I’ll start visiting other blogs for link exchange. Also, Ima sign up for the memes too so that I can get somewhat of a rhythm going on here.

Stay tuned for more updates (as if there are any tuned in LOL). But hey, that’s the beauty of positive thinking, right? What the mind can conceive, the body can achieve..errmmm..that was from a Pharmaton ad, or so I think.

For now, it’s time to hit the sack..nyt guys!
