routine
out of sheer boredom, i decided to head to the office this friday. supposedly i am to report on monday, january 7 using my much accumulated c.d.o. (compensatory day off) but i have nothing better to do at home. though i am supposed to finish a book that i promised myself to finish before 2007 ends. it’s not surprising that i have nothing to do, it’s a friday and i’m on bench. technically i have nothing to do but to sit on my chair, check my email and wait for the time to tick away, or until they find me a new project.
i was able to reach the office at 2.00pm, called the i.t. support hotline because my account got locked during the holidays. it’s was very nice of amik (india i.t. hub) and the password reset was quite fast. after that, i head to viktor at podium to have my redux (vx design) pair fixed — the button suddenly fell out, and to check the lining of the the suit i have ino make for me. i asked for gold or silver or metallic wine. what they have is brown that is not what i have in mind. good thing that i checked it first. hopefully it will be ready before the wedding this 19th. then i headed for national bookstore for some wrappers for my christmas gifts for the office. i hand christmas gifts after the holidays, it has been a tradition for me not the go with the rush of the holidays, including valentines. i hid in one of the nego-rooms at the office and wrapped all my gifts. i’ll post the pictures later, forgot to take some. everyone says that the wrapping is nice, well i have to say it is. i really find time to make the wrapping extra special. by 6.00pm, it’s time to pack up and head for serendra, penny called up for dinner and coffee. had pad thai noodles at thai silk. freaking serendra is so crowded, you really have to reserve 2 hours before. coffee, tea and cake at coffee bean. jake at coffee bean. had interesting conversation while waiting for richard who was having dinner at mangan. did you know that the filipino translation of airplane is salipawpaw? who knew? 
finished late, around 1.00am. so kind of jake to drive me over my place. you know what, i think i’m born sarcastic and single for the rest of my life. this is not a resignation but rather a realization, better accept things as they are rather than hope for something too that will never be. c’est la vie.
