my week in a nutshell

I bought my first digi cam today! :) Its an IXUS 55 and its really small (which is basically all that matters to me). As I am not in anyway inclined towards the electronic arts, I had some help in buying the camera. I feel pretty excited already and I just know this camera and I will make beautiful music together. hehe. Hmm..now if I can only figure out how to download the pics onto my desktop...

Got my first sugar-coated reprimand this week too. It was pretty depressing actually but my boss was nice and tactful about it. I know it was just a small thing but I came out of that meeting feeling like the worst ABAPer on earth. :( Good thing this one came after the evals. Anyway, the best way to get that confidence back up is...

..loads and loads of work. I have tons of it. I was morning shift for the whole week and I ended up going home at 7 instead of at 3! And to top it all off, I seem to not be getting anything done. This is probably punishment for having had a 5 day weekend last week. But I always keep my end in mind ( vacation on dec 15!).

I've moved my flight back to the Philippines on Dec 19 instead of the 15th. This is so I can join the team building going to Chiang Rai! Team buildings here (for the whole department) is kind of fun and they don't hesitate to spend. Last year, we went to Pattaya and stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel (this being our second week only in the company then). This year, we are going to Chiang Rai and they are spending for our plane tickets. hehehe. The trip is on Dec 16 to 18. Then my flight to Manila is Dec 19 and subsequent flight to Cebu is on the 20th.

I have nearly finished with my Christmas shopping. Too bad I have work this weekend and the next weekend, so I can't shop with Reysiel and Vicky. Ria is coming back this Monday and Eileen is in China already. Then this week, we have our Pinoy Christmas party which should be fun as we are still playing charades (they will never let me forget the time I tried to act out 'Desperado' movie. I think I was just on hyper mode that day...).

And I'm looking forward to visiting Cebu...for a variety of reasons. :)))

Oh, and have i mentioned that I actually went to the Gym twice this week? They are giving me a hard time that I don't do too much exercising as I do rest. But hey, I'm starting myself slow you know. hahaha. The road to fitness cannot be rushed.

So now unfortunately, work beckons. Hmm..but this isn't so bad. After 9 today, I am going to visit my fave mango sticky rice store! :)
