Day 86: Gelato-filled Friday

Weekends have become my favorite ever since I started out working. With the current job I have right now, I'm enjoying the perks of having to work in a normal day shift and weekends off. Although I prefer to spend my weekends just lounging around amd reading a book or watching movies, it's one of my most cherished moments mainly because U get to spend time with myself which I don't get to do so when I'm at work on weekdays. I get to destress and regain my energy and emotional stability back after a week's worth of workload.

I don't know, maybe I got a little too excited for the weekend that I didn't do too well on my calls today. I'm pretty sure not all customers I assisted today were happy of the service I have provided them and a lot of times, I shamelessly lost my patience explaining the bills to the customer. But anyway, we got a lot of off the phone activities so it was fine. And usually every Friday, I immediately go home to officially start my weekend off. This time though, I decided to go out with some of my wavemates. And guess what we loaded ourselves with? GELATO! One of my friends have this buy one get one card so we took advantage of it and I never regretted it even one bit. I deserve this cheat day too, you know!

I ended up going home really late because when we got rained on and it did't stop until around seven in the evening. So anyway, what are your plans for the weekend?

Day 85: Weekend is coming

Time really does fly so fast! Can you believe it's almost the weekend again? I don't know about you but I'm pretty excited 'coz I'll finally be able to catch up with my reading. And I'm even more excited 'coz July is just a month away and I can't wait for my first ever out of the country trip with my sister. I'm stressing a little bit about the expenses but my excitement is winning over. Plus, my birthday is almost up and it's a little weird that the older I get, the more I want to celebrate my birthday extravagantly. Well, the HK trip is already an advance gift to myself amd probably the most expensive.haha

Anyway, today is much more relaxed than yesterday. On my way to work though, it was raining and I still didn't want to commute so I ended up getting really wet when I got to the office. Plus, I forgot to put on my ID when I got in and the guards were already calling my attention without me paying the slightest attention because I had my headphones on, much to my embarrassment. But all in all, work was light and fun and I got home really early for the first time in two weeks.

Tomorrow is my last day of work for the week and then I'll be off spending my weekend with my books. What about you? Any plans for the weekend?

Day 84: Negative Vibes

I'm finally able to squeeze this post despite my busy schedule (no, really I'm just waiting for my life to be regenerated so I can crush more candies, if you know what I mean). So, as promised, I'm trying to get back to my daily post and updates on this blog even if it means not having to visit Facebook that much.haha

Well, today, work was really stressful and it's one of those days when I feel like I'm not in the zone and no matter what I do, the negative vibes just won't go away. I felt so drained right after shift that it felt almost all of my energy got sucked out of me. I was planning to go home right after but I was able to say yes to one of my gym buddies that I'll finally go back to gym today so I really had to go and so I ended up going home later than usual.

Speaking about work, there's been a miscommunication between two people from our team today and they had a very heated discussion during our huddle. I don't really know the whole story so I don't have the right to comment about it but it kinda added to tge negative vibes I was feeling today. But since our team is doing really well with our stats, the management bought us pizza and lifted me up a little. It's just sad that the feud was never really sorted out.

Anyway, I'm actually pretty tired so I'm gonna keep this post short. Until tomorrow then!

Day 82 and 83: Crush that Candy!

I knooow, I have to apologize for the constant two and three day posts here on the blog for almost two weeks now. I have been unfaithful in jotting down my experiences on a daily basis now and I highy blame it on theat Candy Crush devil of a game which has been consuming my time after work already allotted for this blog. I have to get rid of that in my system or else I will be seeing candies and combination on my way to work.

So anyway, I've been doing good at work for the past few days now and I'm slowly bringing my scores. I just hope that I'll be able to keep it up until tge end of Nesting, which is only about 4 days more from now. You know, nothing really beats having to see all your efforts translated into numbers and being recognized for it. I have been an outlier for our team ever since the start of Nesting and now tgat I'm slowly improving, everyone from my team has been very supportive and are really willing to help out.

Aside from work, I haven't been able to go to the gym for more than two weeks now and ny trainor is already looking for me and asking why I'm not there after shift. Well, I really don't have an excuse, I just got tired maybe. But in my defense, I'm still walking to and from work which is a considerable amount of distance. I've also been doing my abdominal exercises every other day and do my jogging every Saturday. The people I go to the gym with have been texting me and asking me to go back 'coz we're gonna start with Zumba tomorrow. I'm not really sure yet if I'd go for it but I guess I have to if I really want to stay fit. I'll update you on that tomorrow.

Day 80 and 81: Eat, Pray, Love

My weekend is almost drawing to a close and another week of hustling will commence. This will be my last week in Nesting which means last chance for me to pull my scores up. But I will worry about that tomorrow, it's still technically my rest day so there's no use worrying about something I can do nothing about for now.

The past two days were spent in the four corners of my room in the company of my phone and tablet, alternating my activities between playing Candy Crush Saga (that game is so damn addicting!) and reading Eat, Pray, Love, with occassional mandatory Facebook updates. My roommate went home for a while which means no movie marathon for (if you must know, I'm only borrowing her laptop since my tablet does not support movie streaming and it really sucks big time). I did my usual Saturday run early in the morning followed by laundry afterwards, cleaned up my room a little and then the rest I spent bumming around.

I was supposed to watch the sixth installment of The Fast and Furious but I had no one to go with and I needed to save my money. I still have to pay my sister for the tickets to Hongkong she bought a month ago, plus that trip is a little more than a month away and I have to think about my expenses when I get there. I told my sister it would be much better if we didn't hire a travel agency so we could go around wherever and whenever we want to but she didn't wanna risk the hassle of adventure since we're bringing a toddler along with us.

My Sunday was no different than the day before. I continued reading the novel, which fueled my excitement for travel once again. If only I had a job that would allow me to travel anytime I want without having to worry too much about expenses, I would never think twice about touring the world. But since I don't, I'll take it one step at a time and I'm gonna start with Hongkong next month. I.CANNOT.WAIT!

Day 77-79: To Random Guys, Keeping Friendships and Attaining Goals

It's my rest day again and I couldn't be any happier! I know I owe you a three day worth of post that's why I'm gonna make it up to you by making this post so long the Great Wall of China will be so ashamed it's gonna crumble by itself.haha! I kid, I kid!

Anyway, let's start with what happened last Wednesday. I was still sulking over the fact that I am one of the lowest performers at work. I do try my best every time but it's just not reflecting into my scores and it's very frustrating. After work, I was supposed to go out with my friends just to ease the stress away but unfortunately everyone cannot seem to make it so they moved it on the next day. I ended up not having anything to eat at home so I decided to order a take out at the resto just across the street. And the weirdest thing happened. The cashier person, who happens to be a guy, recognized me as a constant customer so he introduced himself and asked me the weirdest questions. But he was quite nice and cute too! He actually made me smile throughout the rest of the night. You know, it's not everyday that a cute guy does that to me!haha

Thursday was pretty exciting for me. After work, finally I was able to go out with my friends and to say that I had heaps of fun is an understatement. I met new people who happened to be very fun to be with and my night was just filled with laughter remembering about the past. One of my friends happen to be in town and we haven't seen each other since last year so we did a lot of catching up over great food. The only thing was, my diet got ruined. But I don't mind. As long as I'm with great company, I'm willing to cheat on my dieat once in a while.

I slept really late that night because of an airline's international seat tgat I really wanted to avail of. My bestfriend and I have been planning to go to Vietnam for a while now and the travel dates, although scheduled early next year, would be the perfect time for us to travel however all of our credit cards were already maxed out so we didn't have a choice but ti let go of it. I'm pretty sure there will be other seat sales nezt time. And because I slept late, I woke up late too.

Thank God Friday was good to me. My scores were really good the other day that it really pulled my stats up. I just hope I'll be able to sustain it until the end of Nesting or much better would be until I'm already endorsed in the operations. I really wanted to do good so that I have a leverage in case they open up new higher positions. I hope I'll get promoted before the year ends so that at least there would be growth and I'm excited to take on new challenges and responsibilities.

I told you it was gonna be long, didn't I?haha. Anyway, I'm gonna go ahead enjoy my rest day now. Cheers to the weekend!

Day 75 and 76: Eating the stress away

Today is a very stressful day for me. It's so stressful I had to cheat on my diet for the second time in a row this week by eating pasta. When I got out from work, I hurriedly went to my favorite place to eat Carbo-freaking-nara and I devoured it like I haven't eaten anything luke it before just to eat my stress away. I know it's not healthy but nothing ever really feels good after a hard day's work.

For the past two days now, I have been leaving work an hour late because of a lot of things to be done. I haven't been able to go to the gym and worst, my stats are inconsistent as ever. I cannot wait for July to come and the more I think about it, the day goes by every slowly. It's the only thing that's motivating me to go to work everyday. I just hope I'll be able to cope up with this stress in a more modest and healthy way than eating it away.

Anyway, that's all I gotta share. Let's pray everything will be better by the morrow. :)
