The long awaited break that I have been waiting for has finally realized. I am off to a 4 day off and really off to somewhere where office can’t get hold of me. They are renovating it and then renting it out so we have to move elsewhere. I’m not too good with real estate, but Triple Net helps with our leasing. Tomorrow I’ll be blogging not from my cave but somewhere out there. I am off to visit my honey and also a time for me to really get away from it all. If not for this I would end up freaking out and cracking up.Well I hope to have a great time … of course I will cause I will be with my honey. I have been looking forward to this for the past few months. If you remember, my leave application would always get rescheduled by some unforseen forces of nature that is beyond everybody’s control but right now it’s forces of nature or any other thing, nothing will stop me from taking this time off …

Just some update … The rain has been pouring down the whole week. A day wouldnt pass without the rain pouring down. It has been going on for a week. Getting soak in the rain during the weekend and back and soaked again … it got me chilling with a cold and i think i have caught the flu. My throat really hurts, my joints are acting up again and i’ve got the sign of an upcoming cold. Darn! I hate this. I was suppose to attend a retreat during the weekend but i had to play the role of a driver for my family. It’s really tiring.The body of my cousin will be tranferred to Iloilo where he will be finally laid to rest on Wednesday. It will leave the city tomorrow. To him, I bid farewell and may his soul rest in peace.

sick call

I’ve called in sick for the past few days. Like I said, the flu was coming up. I did end up in bed chilling out with a fever when I woke up monday morning. I just couldnt push myself to report for work because it was too much for me and it was not worth dying for my job. Well, the good part about all these is that I did get the chance to rest and also had time to finish up with some projects here.I think I’ll be reporting back tomorrow, which if given the choice, I would stay home instead . I need to check back at the office and finish up with somethings i left over the weekend. But I wouldnt push myself that much because I still have this cold and cough which is very irritating and annoying.Well hope what remains of the week would be fruitful.

It’s entertaining … Channel hopping on TV, pagescanning through the national paper, I caught a glimpse of the news of the decision of one famous actor here whether to run or not for the presidency in the coming elections in 2004. Three things stuck to my head: Actor, Presidency, Decision. Actor, is quite good on screen and very famous with the masses. Presidency, the highest governing position in my already unstable and very much shaken country. Decision, is something very important when it comes to casting your votes during elections and aspirants should make firm decisions before the elections. Putting all these together, I still cant figure out why a famous actor would be very much interested to become president of my already shaken country? Winning? yes definitely he will win, according to statistics and popularity. The masses who comprises a vast majority will vote for popularity, like it did when we put Erap to the seat. Somehow I never thought that being a president is depended on one’s popularity rating. Somehow, nobody speaks and cares of platforms nowadays. Maybe its about time we should at least be educated enough to choose our leaders.The situation right now, with all the different scenarios of choas being shown. From the First Gentlemen being accused, the accuser being accused back, young military officers taking over a hotel to voice out their grievances, suspected terrorists popping up here and there all over the land, impeachment against our chief justice, election candidates giving their best "teethy" smile for the land to see, actors making a political-career shift …… how confusing more can it get? I am just concern about what would the future be after the elections. I hope the leader that gets elected would be someone that can bring the country to its feet and really fix the whole chaotic system once and for all. The system is still there … and probably will stay there for a long time. People come and go in the position, but the effort to change is always sucked into the existing forces of the system which in turn results to nothing and useless efforts

Hi there…

Hi there… so a little about me. I’ve been living in Toronto for 3 years now and really like the city but get to the cottage whenever I can. I work as an accountant, which I know is a bit nerdy, but I like it most of the time. You should get to know me because I’m well-read and well-traveled, but I’m not above going bowling or watching reality tv. I prefer a night out with a small group of friends to a big party or a club. I like to stay active, listen to classic rock, and think that Swiss Chalet is the ultimate in comfort food. I’m looking to meet someone who values friends and family more than anything else, has interests outside of work, and loves to laugh.
