A set or two of heavy drapes is a luxury I enjoy, now that I only get to sleep when the sun starts to rise...Not everyday though. Because, there are days when my mom would unceremoniously barge in my room, flip the drapes aside, and pronounce...good morning!... Today is one of those days :)
Indeed it's a good day. I only had 3 hours of sleep and woke up looking like a haggard panda, but it's nice to go down and see your favorite nephew, sister and brother-in-law splashing away in the family sized rubber pool and squirting water (from his water gun) all over the garden. It's also nice to eat home-cooked Pochero for lunch.
My day started right and I have a feeling that it's gonna be a good day! Yey!

Eternidad
I just finished reading Evermore (Eternidad), the first book in the Immortal series, by Alyson Noel.
The book is nice. It's a contemporary fantasy that dabbled on alchemy and clairvoyance. Interesting...not that original because all the time I was reading, I thought of books like The Alchemy and Twilight. The storyline was also a bit fuzzy but I like that it was fast-paced. The characters are very interesting too. Kudos to Alyson Noel!
My next book -- well, I haven't finished reading Melissa Bank's The Girl's Guide to Hunting and Fishing and Paulo Coehlo's The Winner Stands Alone. Hmmm... which to read first?? Guess I'll go with the former. Also, I can't wait to get my hands on Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick. It's so hard to come by at bookstores... always sold out.

피곤하다
It's 5AM and I just got home from work... too much work...
answer emails...check quizzes...update records...send emails...proofread the Performance Coaching quiz...counsel colleague who's dealing with an irate client...lunch at 11PM...brief meeting with the team...prepare for this weekend's Team building...prepare activities for tomorrow's session...and the list go on...
I'm working too hard. These past days, I've been doing 2-3 hours OT a day. It makes me wonder why I work so hard... well, i do like my work and yes, I am a stickler for quality. I guess this pretty much explains the extended hours in the office. I'm just a bit stressed this week because I've been going like this for a month and instead of resting this weekend, my team needs to facilitate a team building for a hundred and eighty two people. Cool right? I'm wasted but, am looking forward to seeing teams get dirty and gooey in the Amazing Race activity :) That would make my day and the ecstasy would probably keep me smiling until next week.
Going back to being tired... It's times like this that I really really appreciate the comfort and solace in my room. I'm too tired to soak in the tub and I might fall asleep, so I'll just crawl into bed after a quick wash.
It's a new day and I'll be seeing my babies later. It's the 9th day of the Leadership program...I hope they're learning to be good and effective supporting managers to their respective teams.
