the drawback of working in the metro is that it can get pretty expensive - the lifestyle is pretty different from the laidback, rural scene of say, cavite where i used to work. the plus side of the metro though is that socializing has never been on an all time high - i see more of my off-office friends nowadays.
work has been quite steady the past few days. to borrow jowell's words, its "relaks lang." not that there isn't any stuff to do, let's just say they're not as complicated as a few months back. maybe because the year is winding down and the problems are more manageable. still crossing my fingers that this "peace" lasts until the end of the year.
spent tuesday night with my good friends lemon and mj. dinner at john & yoko was good and we, at least for the night, ditched our diet plans and feasted on a "there goes my diet" platter. hahaha bad influence. i can't believe that despite our thin crowd, we managed to hang out, talk about stuff until past midnight. that's what i love about lemon and mj, we really never seem to run out of things to talk about. having them to talk to that night was comforting so yay for great friends.
3 hours of sleep and i was back at the office wednesday. still happy that there's no coding here in paranaque or in taguig for that matter. busy wednesday.
i just had a dose of reality today and a realization that you never really know someone until you know them. ok, that didn't seem to make sense. i guess what i'm saying is that sometimes we get so caught up with what we only know about a person that finding out a few more details turns out they were not as perfect as thought they were. i'm not being judgmental - all i'm saying is that sometimes knowing the "bad" can help you get over the illusion. basta yun. still groggy so i'm having a hard time saying it. lol.
had dinner with ex-bench friends tonight at the stock market. chardonnay. brie. pasta. best key lime pie (i had in a long, long while) and flourless chocolate cake. yum. its amazing we're still friends until today - how long is that already, 13+ years? its really amazing when you find true, lasting friends. no matter how little we see each other throughout the year, when we come together you just know you're in the company of good friends. i hope our plan to travel out of the country works out. that'd be fun for sure.
still groggy today. i think there's another dinner tonight. i told you this "sleep-deprived" lifestyle is challenging.
