Long overdue update
The past couple of weeks were a whirlwind of activity, with me juggling
several deadline targets... The mini-projects I've been
coordinating in Laguna have now been accelerated because of a golf
tournament to be held there... hassle men... I think I spend more time
on the road than actually working... but one cool perk of working
on a golf course... I get free lunch c/o the club manager
hehehe... kasi I'm the one fixing all his wish lists for the
facility... kaya ayun... go figure. Juggle that with 2 presentations
for projects in the pipeline... my brain is shifting between design, to
production, to coordination, to problem solving... all in 5 mins.
Its not that I'm complaining, I actually enjoy the work because I'm
squeezing my brains to get things done, and I'm learning a lot from
it... but I kinda feel that I'm compromising quality because of the all
task-switching I've had to do.
At least I'm too busy to think about my non-existent love-life, but the
problem is that, the work has also started to take its toll on my...
discipline... I've started to eat bad stuff again... which is... bad...
hehehe and I've lost a few good habits... such as praying and reading
the bible... a lot of my good friends and coworkers have told me that
I've become particularly antsy, harrassing, stressful lately... hmmmm...
I guess I have to run a reboot and get things back on track... I don't want to backslide into bad habits again.

hmmm... you remind me of someone... oh yeah, me! hehe... too busy to think about non-existent lovelife, eating bad stuff, losing good habits, harassing...
ReplyDeleteit's the curse of being a yuppie (excuse me for the lack of effort to use more creative words). and i guess i'm surviving because of one motto: work hard, party harder. find a balance. you don't wanna spend all the exciting, able years of your life on the drawing board, my friend.
imagine chasing fast cars and women when you're 60 and all wrinkly. haha...
Heheh. Try taking up YOGA or controlled breathing exercise, specially if you are on the road. The long travel time is a good time to relax (ironically).
ReplyDeleteTake it from me: field work and "meetings" are actually conspiracies involving food companies to keep us fat =)
One good thing about working and going around meeting people is that you actually improve the chances of the lovelife to exist! =) Mahirap kasi pag kulob ka sa office, your sense of "cute" and "beautiful" tends to get skewed. I have a friend who once worked for Petron as a Chemical Engineer. He quit his job and became a teacher. His reason: Nagiging cute na daw yung girl who does all the photocopying for the entire office =) He found himself one day daw volunteering to have an obscure document photocopied. Heheheh.
Seriously, the best thing about going out to do your work is you get to meet a lot of people. Those people that you meet can actually teach you a lot more in three hours of talking than going back to school in three years.
Good Luck in your "reset". Make sure you have the reset button handy =)
hahaha =) thanks for the suggestions! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteBuhay nga naman. Well, what's important is that you're enjoying your job.. Not too many people can claim that!
ReplyDeleteBut of course, there's more to life than having a great career, and what's great about you is that you're not scared to admit your short comings (like prayer, personality... all the important stuff), ahhh.. the makings of a great man! Great for you!
Hope you have a good week ahead!
Wow thanks =) one thing to know your short-comings, another to work on them... hehehe I guess I'm still evolving...
