I'm swimming in murky waters. And I'm drowning. I'm gasping for air and flailing my arms trying to keep my head above the water.
That's what I have been feeling for the past week because of work. I'm not really affected with the changes. I have this dead-ma attitude when it comes to office politics. It's not that I think it's below me. It's just that I choose not to participate. But the stress I feel is from all the sudden changes I can't seem to keep up. Suddenly people left and right are asking for reports. I have to attend meetings that keep me from my desk almost the whole day. And still they expect me to do what I really need to do.
And then I sink for awhile. I try to feel the floor but I ran out of air. It's too deep.
I keep a smile on my face but my eyes say otherwise. I start thinking of cutting my hair again... or getting my nails done... I start craving for sweets just to get that sugar rush and feel good about myself again. That's when I know I need some semblance of order back into my life. I'm an obsessive compulsive but I can't seem to get rid of all the clutter on my desk.
Sigh!

LIVESTRONG ERIN
Erin Pasimio, our friends Sonny and Ria Pasimio's two-month old daughter is in dire need of your help. Her liver doesn't have bile ducts, thus, could not process bile in her body. She recently had an operation, although a temporary one. But she will eventually need a liver transplant.
The transplant however, is a very costly one. It will have to be done outside the Philippines.
We're hoping all you kindhearted souls to help the Pasimio family by purchasing these baller bands for P200 only. They come in two colors. In case you would like one, or two, or more... just get in touch with me.
We'll also holding events to raise more money for Erin's operation. I hope you can also participate. As soon are plans are set I'll be inviting you all.
*** Thanks Jong for the picture.

I'm Now A Settler!
I'm no longer a Catan virgin!
Last friday I played Settlers of Catan with the usual bunch of misfits at our friend's place in Alexandria. I was a mere consultant during the first game since I was still trying to learn the game. The second game I tried to call the shots although my consultant was more intimidating than me.
The game lasted longer than usual since we only had one board and we had teammates. There were also bilateral and tripartite treaties going on with the ultimate goal of bring down one regime.
We won the second game. Now I feel confident to play alone and go head to head especially with Tini. We didn't try to connect my Seafarers of Catan yet, Dino was still trying to learn the game. Adding my Catan means bigger table and longer playing time. Whew!
It was 3am when we finished. Tired but happy with the company and the game.
There's a long weekend coming up... hint! hint!

Stuck in San Francisco
I spoke too soon.
It's either I'm cursed or may balat ako sa puwet!
My flight was suppose to be SFO-NRT-MNL. It's still is but a day delayed.
I want to cry already!
My flight from SFO to NRT was delayed until 730pm before they decided to tell us that they really couldn't fix the mechanical problem plaguing the plane. They offered hotel and food vouchers. But since I have relatives here I decided to stay at their place. I needed to wash the clothes I was wearing because there was no way I was going to wear those clothes for 48hrs! I don't believe in side "A" and side "B"!!!
They first told us we were spending the night in Tokyo. That got me worried. I know I travel a lot but I'm still apprehensive getting bumped off like that.
I've been cursed with flight diversion due to thunder storm and flight delays this whole trip.
Told my boss of the delay. I really did try to go home though. Fought with the Northwest agents telling them I wanted to be transferred to the Philippine Airlines flight which was leaving in a few hours. I threw them the line "...i know the procedure! I used to work for Northwest too!"
Obviously it didn't work.
Five boxes of Krispy Kreme all going to waste!
