My Pink Shoelace

With my many unpaid vacation leaves on pile I’ve been searching for destinations here and there. Am going to Baguio on the 27th and will be staying at one of the Condo Hotels the place has to offer. Can’t wait to get away and have fun with friends whose gonna meet me there. Would be home by Saturday night and hopefully there’s a boat that would take us to Siargao on Sunday otherwise I cannot go with them.

- So in between taking calls from all three LOBs, I was able to write a post on my calendar of activities. At around 4 AM they offered VGH and since I love VGH (nevermind the deduction on my pay) I raised my hand and was granted what I wanted. Spent a good old bonding moments with Wafa at Mocha Blends where we ate to our hearts content (so much for the diet). Australian Beef Stew and Strawberry Kiwi for me during the first round and Carbonnara and a reddish flavored iced tea for her. We accdg. to her were celebrating Bukie’s birthday, so ironic as the celebrant was not there eating with us. Over food we talked about a bunch of stuff like we normally do which led us to ordering another batch of pasta for the second round. ‘Twas a food trip like the old times and I was full to the brim; it was close to 7AM when I got home and I had to go back to I2 at 9AM to meet up with Roy.

- Was waiting up for Roy at Starbucks to work on our project when I realized that there wasn’t much of me on the entire outcome. True I did have a say on the colors, positioning and on the layout but it was him who did the flash presentation and the coding for the site. Initially when the project was given to me what I wanted was to use an open source cms either joomla or mambo then will just tweak on the template add plug ins and thats it. But with Roy he’s kinda the old fashioned designer would prefer a first hand experience on the coding process. Wants to know which div goes with what so we’re back to good ol dreamweaver, photoshop and flash.

- So he showed me the output and asked what I wanted to be changed; being me I said a lot of things … from the color to the size to the positioning of certain images on the page. He was doing the work while I was busy sipping my hot choco (I finished 2 in a row!!), Mitchy joined us a couple of minutes after and so while Roy was working Mitchy and I were doing chit chat catching up on things. Missed the old times when we both have the same lunch time or when we used to go out just cause we feel like it. But am glad for this day … I get to spend it with her from Starbucks to Robinsons (though the mall is closed) to Gaisano Metro where she helped me pick a swimwear (a first for me … I literally dont swim!!!) and she bought a belt and a nice handbag to Ayala (where to our dismay is close) to SM (which was also close) back to IT Park. Currently hanging out at Cheesecake talking over tuna mayo sandwich and blueberry cheesecake.

- Who knows where we might go next, I still have work tonight but it doesnt matter if I wont get any sleep at least am able to spend quality time with people I missed the most. There are still others whose company I terribly miss but I dont have the guts to tell them how I feel or ask them that we go out sometimes I’ll just wait for fate to let our paths cross at some point so I’ll get to relish their company. I know am a loser on emotions and such a nut case!!

- Back at Starbucks with Mitchy dunno what time I’ll go home later all I know is am enjoying this day and it never occured to me till now how much I miss her company.
