Semi-Hell Week
I'm glad this semi-hell week is over. Had so many things to do! Ang kalat ko tuloy! We're already working on two projects, one of which will be launched within the next two weeks. I also had to prepare my MBO or Management by Objectives, which includes my action plan for the year. We had a learning session earlier which was conducted by our group. Di pa kasama yung mga usual na ginagawa every week. Whew! I sure am glad that's over. Minus one thing to do!

On my mom and dad's anniv and MyAyala.com
My mom and dad celebrated their wedding anniversary yesterday. I had to remind my dad - he always forgets. Not because he doesn't care, he's really just forgetful already. Anyway, my gift for them (and for me na rin) is a mini-rock garden fountain . I bought it online from MyAyala.com and I am very happy with their service! MyAyala.com is where Bea works.
I ordered last Saturday morning and asked for the product to be delivered on Sunday. Unfortunately, they do not process orders over the weekend. They called me up Monday for the details, and they asked if they should still deliver on Sunday. I explained that I was referrring to the day before so I told them to just deliver on wednesday. And when I got home a while ago, the package was already in the living room. The gift was was gift-wrapped, and it was in another box with styro.

I like online shopping, because it's very convenient. My only complaint is the delivery fee - but I guess we can't do anything about that, huh? It would also be great if there were more choices. I can't imagine buying clothes online, though, because that's really something that should be felt and tried on if possible.

On work, stress, and cats...
It's already 9PM and I'm still in the office. Yesterday, I left the office at around 10:30PM. I really can't wait til this thing I'm working on gets launched. It hasn't even been launched yet and there's another project that just started. The nice thing about it is that I'm not stressed. Hmmm, I mean, I'm not as stressed out as before. Stress really isn't the load that you have, it's how you handle the load.
Anyway, a mickey mouse just passed by. Was he fast!
Speaking of animals, I'm planning to have a pet starting this year. Uhm, not mice. :) I'm planning to get a nice cat. I started to research about cats and so far, so good. Do you guys have tips or warnings or whatever that you can share? You might know some breeders, or info. If you could help me out in whatever way, I will greatly appreciate it.
All the articles I've read about getting a pet have a common introduction: Never buy a pet on a whim. You have to know the risks and the costs involved. I found a site that 'searches' for the perfect cat for you, based on what you want. It's very helpful! It asks how much time I can spend with the cat - apparently there are some cats which are needy when it comes to attention. It asks if you want a 'lazy' or a playful/active cat. It asks if you want to always carry the cat - there are cats which don't like being a carried. Based on the results, I chose which breeds I will look for, when I have the money already. Just bought a new celphone so I can't spend another major thing right away.
The best breed for me is the Ragdoll. Thing is, I'm not sure if it's common here. So far, based on what I found on the net, the most common breed here in Manila is the Persian-Himalayan.

Well, I'll take this one step at a time. Next step is to call the Philippine Cat Fanciers Association (?).

KFC Commercial
There are some commercials that are really effective, and the latest KFC commercial is one of them. You will really end up craving for KFC chicken after watching. And that was what happened this afternoon. Anton, Gino and I were watching TV, and right after the KFC commercial was aired, we all wanted to eat chicken!
This is the second commercial with this effect on me. The first one was the Jollibee Aloha burger ad. I'm not fond of burgers and sandwiches, I just eat them whenever, but that commercial really made me want to try the product.
Anyway, we ended up ordering from KFC for dinner. :)

Lord of the Rings
If you haven't watched the movie, the post below could be considered a spoiler...
I'm really not a Tolkien fan, unlike some of my friends and other people I know. And I'm glad - because of that, I appreciated the movie more. I've heard some people say "that's not how it happened in the book" or "wala naman niyan sa libro!". I think it's impossible for the movie to be exactly like the book.
I love Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers. Unlike the first movie, I didn't notice the length of the movie. I kept on expecting more, until the end. Everything was balanced - the comedy, mushiness, action... The action scenes were great. And the effects were awesome - you will not notice that Gollum is just a CG character at all.
Urgh, back to work. Have to finish some stuff.

Silence
I am currently listening to a CD that I recently bought, entitled "Silence". I bought it from Mag:net at the Loop at Mother Ignacia. They were playing it while I was checking out their magazines and the music caught my attention. I bought the CD on the spot.
The CD includes 14 instrumental songs. The music is beautiful. Very relaxing. They based the CD on the coffee table book by Jaime Zobel which features beautiful photographs. The CD has several pictures and verses as well. Photographs by Jaime Zobel, songs composed by Nhick Pacis and Rayben Maigue, and flute by Ray Sison.
Time and being
comes to a standstill
at the mind and hear's sudden joining --
the moment resonates,
and gives a glimpse of the universe's beginning.
I know of moments profound
when, holding myself still,
I feel the brush of a passing angel's kiss.
And peace, nestling close,
brings perfect bliss.
Definitely a great gift this Christmas.

Wow, nice to blog again, after a long time. Don't know where to start...
I've been thinking of starting another blog. The error I always encounter with this blog is really annoying me already. It's the 503 (?) error, something about the template. There's also something wrong with the archives - as you can see, it stopped at September 14. For those who know me well, I'm sure you know how I can be impatient at times. Oh well, I don't care enough to make this a problem so I'm doing anything about it yet. If you have advice for me, please please feel free to let me know.
How's everyone? Can't wait to read your blogs. I've only been reading Bunny's blog.
