We had our general assembly yesterday and it was different from the GA's of the past. So many things are going on in the office right now, so naturally, the boss tried to address the most important issues. I'd say it was a pretty heavy GA, because of all the stuff that were mentioned - most of which are negative.
I'm happy that he brought up the issue of lack of communication, at least we agree on that. But it seems that no matter how much communication is encouraged, it's still the same as before...
Speaking of the boss, we had a 'chat' (well, sorta) and I'm really happy with what we 'talked' about. Ang galing! I just wish he sees all the details, every single thing that's going on in the office. I'm sure he'll be shocked and disappointed with some things. But I think it's impossible for him to see everything because his focus should really be the bigger picture. Oh well.

Clara offers a lollipop to Maria. Maria declines and says "maybe next time". Now Ana is looking for chocolate. Clara sees that Ana is looking for chocolate and offers the lollipop to her. Ana knows it's not the same but she takes the lollipop anyway. Maria later on finds out about this. And although she doesn't say anything, she blames Ana for taking the lollipop because she says it was supposed to be hers. Does it make sense for Maria to blame Ana? Ana did not know that the lollipop was first offered to Maria.

Beautiful email from a friend...
- I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
- I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.
- I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life." I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.
- I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back.
- I've learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you. But if you focus on your family, your friends, the needs of others, your work and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you.
- I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.
- I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.
- I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love that human touch - holding hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.
- I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.
People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel......

Is it impossible to have a good working relationship with your boss? My previous boss, I don't even consider him a 'boss' because he's a good friend. He's just so cool. I think that's a very ideal set-up, having a boss who's also a friend. With some bosses, it's a long shot, but I think it's always worth a try. Also, it's a two way thing. However, most employees complain that "my boss is so and so" but if you look at it, they're also not doing anything to improve the relationship.
I don't understand why it always has to be "one of us" or "one of them" (management versus employees). I don't understand why there has to be a very clear line between 'boss' and 'employee', which you cannot cross at all. When someone moves towards that line, and attempts to cross it, he's accused of sucking up and kissing ass. I also don't understand why having good communication with your boss, or being open with him, is something that's frowned upon.
But of course I know you can't have a perfect relationship with your boss. Or with anyone. :D It's really a love-hate relationship. You just have to make sure and try to always be on the 'love' side. :D

Bought the latest Gadgets and Reviewer magazines. Reviewer now comes with separate magazine called m ph or mobile philippines. Contains info about phones, PDA's, notebook and tablet PC's, and 'everything mobile'. People who are always on the lookout for the latest gadgets will surely appreciate this magazine. I am now drooling- thanks to the Sony Clie NX70V and Sony Clie PEG-NZ90. But there's one thing I don't like about the magazine -- the SRP's(standard retail price) it lists are based on expensive stores. How about Greenhills prices? Shouldn't those prices be included also?
Sony Clie NX70V - Isn't it a beauty?
Sony Clie PEG-NZ90 - "For those with deep pockets, for both the device, and the cost."
Anyway, if you're a tech-junkie, I suggest that you get a copy of the Reviewer, even just for m ph.

Have you seen the new Bear Brand commercial? Parang hindi makahinga yung kumakanta.
I should get well soon! Listening to the TV is driving me nuts! I can't even watch 'cause my eyes are reddish and a bit painful. Potek. CD's? Sick of them too. Sick of my room and house for now. I've been stuck here for the past 7 days!

Friday Five on a Tuesday
1. Would you consider yourself an organized person? Why or why not?
Yes! My friends all say I'm OC (obsessive-compulsive). I want everything to be neat.
2. Do you keep some type of planner, organizer, calendar, etc. with you, and do you use it regularly?
Yes, right now I have two notebooks. One is an organizer. I place appointments, special occasions, etc, there. The other one is a "To Do List" notebook. I really have to write down every thing that I have to do at work the next day. I need the list to guide me through the day, even if I know something new will always come up.
3. Would you say that your desk is organized right now?
Yes!
4. Do you alphabetize CDs, books, and DVDs, or does it not matter?
Not by alphabet. By categories. For CD's, I put the women's CD's together, bands, OPM, men, instrumental, etc. For DVD's, the categories are action, drama, classics, romantic, comedy.. For books, business books, inspirational, children's books, comics (calvin and hobbes, far side, etc).

Adenoviral Conjunctivitis
Sheeeeet.
Okay, here's the background. I was sick from Wednesday until Friday so I had to take a sick leave. It all started with a sore throat, then I wasn't feeling well, then after a while I was coughing because the phlegm was acting up, then I had really bad colds. Imagine, SARS scare to the max!
Then, yesterday afternoon, my left eye became reddish. It wasn't really red, more of pink. It was just red under the eyelids - the hidden parts. I couldn't sleep well last night 'cause my right eye had so much discharge. When I woke up, my right eye was reddish as well. So I thought that I should consult the doctor about this. I went to American Eye Center in Shangri La because it was nearer than Asian Eye Institute (which is in Rockwell). Price is the same because employees of our company are entitled to a discount at Asian Eye Institute (regular consultation fee is P770).
Diagnosis: I have Adenoviral Conjunctivitis, OU. Or sore eyes. But not the usual one. The doctor said it's related to the sore throat that I have (yup, meron pa rin). I ruled out sore eyes last night because the eye wasn't really red and it wasn't itchy. I had to put Maxitrol drops but I shouldn't overdo it because that thing has steroids. Scary.
From http://www.cecats.com/pinkeye.html
Conjunctivitis is an infection or allergy of the conjunctivae. The conjunctiva is the outer lining of the white part of the eye. When infected, it becomes swollen, red, and has a watery discharge. For infections, conjunctivitis is usually cause by a virus, bacteria, and very rarely a fungus.
Conjunctivitis due to viral infection is the leading cause of a red eye. Usually one eye is affected first and then the other a few days later. The lids may be swollen. Conjunctivitis may develop during or after an upper respiratory tract infection or after exposure to a person with such an infection. A watery discharge may cause intermittent blurring, but vision is otherwise unaffected. Eye pain due to light is uncommon. Viral Conjunctivitis is usually self-limited and is gone within 1-2 weeks.
From http://www.postgradmed.com/issues/2000/10_00/shields2.htm
Adenoviral conjunctivitis (figure 2e: not shown) is the most common cause of an acute, painful red eye. The disease is highly contagious. In general, eye medications should not be prescribed, because they are usually ineffective and can cause further contamination. Instead, patients should be instructed to avoid touching their eyes and to wash their hands frequently, drying them with disposable towels. If needed, the watery discharge can be wiped away with a moistened, disposable tissue or towelette; afterward, the hands should be washed meticulously. Communal activities, such as work, school, and day care, should be avoided as long as discharge is present (typically, 7 to 10 days). Patients in whom these conservative measures fail should be referred to an ophthalmologist.

Results of boredom:
You have an entrancing kiss~ the kind that leaves
your partner bedazzled and maybe even feeling
he/she is dreaming. Quite effective; the kiss
that never lessens and always blows your
partner away like the first time.
What kind of kiss are you?

You are an elf. Now, if you want Legolas, that's
ok with me. He's actually prettier than me with

Just visited the CBS website, and there's a page on The Amazing Race 4 already! Woohoo! Check it out!
Absent again today. I really couldn't get up this morning. It's good that I was able to go online right away, at least I can work a little.
I thought about it the whole day, and I've come to the conclusion that it's really stress. My maximum temperature is 37.5 C, but I really don't feel well, and my colds are really bad. I guess I got tired because of that one very, very stressful month (it started two weeks before Holy Week).
I have no choice but to rest again today.
(I'm watching Wild Thornberries right now, and the setting is the Philippines.)
Last night I watched "Nuts Entertainment" on Channel 7. It really sucked. It wasn't funny at all. If you ask me, I'd go for their old "Beh Bote Nga" if I really had to choose. Good thing CSI was on AXN.

This is the second time for me to get sick within the past two weeks. Not good. I'm wondering why. I've been taking vitamins. Is it the stress at work? I thought I was handling it well. But the last month has been hell. So many things going on at the same time! It doesn't help that I'm involved with almost all of the stuff here at work. It also doesn't help that my direct boss isn't here, and the boss assigned to our group now doesn't seem to see everything I'm doing. There's this one aspect of my job that I should improve on, I admit. And for me, it seems that this boss only sees that. Oh well. Tough luck for me.
It was pointed out to me that I should 'let go' today, because I'm sick. What happened was that my morning was all about text messages and calls. A LOT of calls. I just can't leave the projects hanging so I end up "working" on them somehow (working with quotation marks). The last time I was absent, I ended up being online from the house for 6 hours. I was still working, but from home. Thing is, I think I really need to rest, especially today. My head is aching so much right now, as I type.
I hope everyone's having a better time than me.

From one of my favorite blogs:
Happily Loving
What really makes a person happy? As for me, I am happy when I am with my family. I am happy when I take their photographs. I am happy when I make something for them. And, I'm happiest when I hug and kiss them. Have you said, "I love you." to the people dear to you?
I guess one common thing that makes everyone happy is love. From the loved one, friends, and family. The nice things they do for me, and even the nice things I do for them - never fail to put a smile on my face. I'm really happy whenever I see them happy. :)

"Long Weekend"
Thursday
Had a meeting at Smart last Thursday, May 1. Yes, May 1. The smart HR group of Smart decided that they should have work on May 1, and none on May 2 so that the employees can have a long weekend. Problem was that everyone else had work on May 2. Hung out in the afternoon, and had dinner in Napoli. I finally met the Portalettes. Cool bunch of people. Met Yoj, April, Romy, plus Mark and Petite. Of course Mira and Fiesta were there. Chegay called from the US. It was a good dinner, with good people, good food, and good kwento.
Friday
Had work last friday. Attended two REALLY long meetings - both lasted more than 3 hours. So Friday sucked. End of story.
Saturday
Bliss. Had lunch at Bubba Gump in Greenbelt 3. The food was great (didn't like the sandwich that much, though) and the service was just awesome. All the waiters greeted us as we entered the restaurant, and service was quick. Each table had plates which said "Run Forrest Run", and "Stop Forrest Stop". To call a waiter, you just had to display "Stop Forrest Stop".
Boat Trash was yummy! It had shrimps, mayi-mayi and lobsters, with French Fries. And their drinks looked really good. We ordered speckled lemonade - which was lemonade with strawberry. Drawback - it's really expensive there. I can't go there often 'cause I'm gonna end up with no moolah.
Sunday
Weather was so weird! On the way to mass the sky was dark, so we brought an umbrella. But after mass, at noon, it was so hot! Went home to Binan for the baptism of my neice, 'cause I was Ninang. It's funny 'cause she's the daughter of my Ninong (who's pretty young). So now I can call him Pareng Ninong, or something like that. My schedule was ruined because I was really supposed to go to the office to work for a while. Well, scrap that idea!
I went back to QC at around 7:30PM. Went to the wake of Mike's mom at Filinvest 1. There were so many people! It's really sad because Mike's mom was young, and she was very energetic. I guess God really has plans, and sometimes we don't understand them. But we really just have to accept. Imagine, before the wake, I just came from a baptism, the start of life.
Well, today's the start of another loooooooooooong week. Urgh I wish I was filthy rich so I didn't have to work anymore, to earn money. I would love to do volunteer work for the rest of my life.
Thursday
Had a meeting at Smart last Thursday, May 1. Yes, May 1. The smart HR group of Smart decided that they should have work on May 1, and none on May 2 so that the employees can have a long weekend. Problem was that everyone else had work on May 2. Hung out in the afternoon, and had dinner in Napoli. I finally met the Portalettes. Cool bunch of people. Met Yoj, April, Romy, plus Mark and Petite. Of course Mira and Fiesta were there. Chegay called from the US. It was a good dinner, with good people, good food, and good kwento.
Friday
Had work last friday. Attended two REALLY long meetings - both lasted more than 3 hours. So Friday sucked. End of story.
Saturday
Bliss. Had lunch at Bubba Gump in Greenbelt 3. The food was great (didn't like the sandwich that much, though) and the service was just awesome. All the waiters greeted us as we entered the restaurant, and service was quick. Each table had plates which said "Run Forrest Run", and "Stop Forrest Stop". To call a waiter, you just had to display "Stop Forrest Stop".
Boat Trash was yummy! It had shrimps, mayi-mayi and lobsters, with French Fries. And their drinks looked really good. We ordered speckled lemonade - which was lemonade with strawberry. Drawback - it's really expensive there. I can't go there often 'cause I'm gonna end up with no moolah.
Sunday
Weather was so weird! On the way to mass the sky was dark, so we brought an umbrella. But after mass, at noon, it was so hot! Went home to Binan for the baptism of my neice, 'cause I was Ninang. It's funny 'cause she's the daughter of my Ninong (who's pretty young). So now I can call him Pareng Ninong, or something like that. My schedule was ruined because I was really supposed to go to the office to work for a while. Well, scrap that idea!
I went back to QC at around 7:30PM. Went to the wake of Mike's mom at Filinvest 1. There were so many people! It's really sad because Mike's mom was young, and she was very energetic. I guess God really has plans, and sometimes we don't understand them. But we really just have to accept. Imagine, before the wake, I just came from a baptism, the start of life.
Well, today's the start of another loooooooooooong week. Urgh I wish I was filthy rich so I didn't have to work anymore, to earn money. I would love to do volunteer work for the rest of my life.
