it feels good to be out of the metro for a change. its one of the things i miss working in the faraway land of cavite - the absence of the rush of city life. i should slap myself for saying that but really, intoxicating as it is, it gets overwhelming sometimes. still the traffic and busy-ness is much better in mckinley hill versus that of the heart of makati - so i'm thankful for that already.

at least for the next three days (today included), this team building/training offers a brief respite from the city. and the holiday inn @ clark is quite lovely. flat screen tv, fancy beddings, free food - nothing really to complain about. feels like i'm living by myself already - perhaps a prelude to life in 2010 and beyond. got my mac in tow and a surprisingly reliable globe tatoo to keep me connected. i'm all good.

its going to be december next week. christmas is here before we know it. mom's turning 70 next month and i don't know where we should celebrate her birthday. i want to be able to treat her to somewhere fancier than usual.

despite everything, life is good.

missin' somebody much though.
