stress na naman

May boo boo ako na ginawa sa work.
I had wednesday and thursday to get some files sent over and tested with another team. But all along, I was waiting for my other teammate to finish up some script and come back from Toronto so that we can transfer the files together. So we ended up sending the files just last friday, and now, we're a bit delayed as the release is next week and we need QA sign off from their side. The problem is, I just realized on Friday that I could've done it myself altogether even as early as Wednesday. And now it's a mad scramble to work with the other team to get the testing done ASAP.
Arghh

Work is stressing me out.
Hopefully after this release (hopefully it'll be a success as well) that I may be able to get some days off to relax and not think about work even when I'm home (is this a symptom that I'm beginning to be a workaholic - when you're home and you're thinking about work problems?)

tayong dalawa update

I just watched "Tayong Dalawa" earlier, and I have this strange feeling that the story will end up something like that of Pearl Harbor, where Ben Affleck's character was thought to have died during the war and so the best friend and the girlfriend ended up together, not knowing that Ben was actually still alive.

I think that's probably what's going to happen with Dave, JR and Audrey. Argh.... I hope I'm not. I prefer Dave and Audrey rather than Audrey and JR.

This is the only remaining teleserye I watch. I sure hope it doesn't disappoint me.

what's worst?

What's worst about being in a long distance relationship?
Being in a relationship where you're both in the same place, but don't see each other. And this is exactly the situation that Chase and I are in right now. I don't blame him. I blame myself 101%.

Ever since coming back home, I've been delegated to work night shifts primarily because I have to attend meetings, talk with my teammates back in Canada. We are working on a new project and it's a ground up work which is probably why there's just a lot more work that has to be done. And since it's night shift, I just can't get myself to wake up around 5:30 pm, get dressed and go meet Chase somewhere. I'm just so lazy that I'd rather sleep, or just relax at home.

So now, our usual schedule is meeting up every Sunday instead of Saturday (because Saturday is my catch up sleep time). It's good and all... but of course, it's always better to see each other more. I'm back so how come I don't see him as often right?

And so, once this big project finishes up (release will be the weekend after this coming weekend), I might try to adjust my work time to an early shift instead. The problem with this shift is that I have no idea how I'll get to work as early as 6 am (btw, I have to go to the office everyday from now on since my laptop crashed a couple of weeks back). We'll see how it goes. I think it's a matter of adjustment from now on, but we'll see. I think I need a car (hahahahaha!).

Anyway, whatever happens, I've decided that I really need to do something about this situation. I can't just rely on Chase to work on this relationship all the time. I just can't way the next time I have to go away and we'll not see each other again for a couple of months.

reverting to old blog template

I attempted to redo my blog with new blog skins I found over the Internet. I was able to pick out two, but when I published the new design, I just realized that I don't want all the complicated designs and would rather have a simple design to use, thus I ended up with the old blog templates. But I still think I have to personalize it in some way. I'm just too lazy to think and design. I've always considered myself art illiterate. No taste at all when it comes to designs. I still believe that being artistic is still truly a talent (which unfortunately I don't have). Let's see if I can attempt to overcome my lack-of-art-skills and see if I can tweak this a bit to my liking.

Malas

My office laptop crashed.
Grabe malas.

puppy love

My young sister had her heart broken this valentine's day.
We all go through that, don't we?

home office desk

It's been a while since my last post. Have been very busy at work. Working nights is really different from working day shifts. With a release coming up, things have been a bit chaotic. The good thing is that I can work from home, while I'm here in the Philippines. Here's how my desk looks like:


And look, Obi-Wan's bobble head is watching over me.


Our team lead decided that while we're here in the Philippines, we should see each other more often so we have an official "office day" once a week where we all go in the office so that we get to see each other. haha
