Saturated?!

Saturated? I might have reached that on some point and things on my life recently. For one, it’s pretty much obvious that my blog has been silent for almost 6 months. Too ironic that my blog should have been more louder and excited this year since I have my MacBook with me. What happened to me after being sprained, you might ask?! I would probably just give that a deep breath... inhale, exhale! 

I said before that writing was a sort of stress reliever for me, but it was more stress-free when you don’t think of anything during weekends. A time for myself, family, a good chit-chat with friends whether online or over coffee and best of all, a real good sleep. I am just more of an introvert type of guy this days. 

My 4 year old mobile phone wasn’t that abused that much lately too. I ain’t in the mood of texting or calling, unless it’s very important and necessary...  which is somewhat a good thing since my P500 load now last for more than a month as compared before that I have to reload after a week or two. I don’t know, maybe I already graduated from that “kiti-kitext” stage. Oh by the way, pleaseeee... avoid calling on daytime, especially during weekdays... I want a decent sleep!

Work... as usual loaded. Still learning and enjoying my job though it almost reached saturation too couple  of months back and might have considered a new job. So many things happened in the past 6 months... movements at work, issues, reorganization, promotion and reclassification, interviewing and hiring new people, stress and fun... name it! I must also admit I have been too vocal and straight forward lately on career matters and on things that I believe righteous to be voiced out.

Hey, sorry I need to finish this one now...  Let me savour my last few hours of vacation... It was only now that I’m out of office for five days since I got sprained last January. Well, it feels good that I was able to give some time for my blog... later tonight, I’m back at work!  

Be safe and be blessed everyone. 

Sprained New Year!

Remember in my other article that I said I might be spending my Christmas and New Year at the office? Well, one of these special occasions was granted pardon! I am home for Christmas Eve and at the office on New Year’s Eve. But hours before 2008 hits, something just happened!

I got involved in a minor accident going to the office on December 31st. I was on a bus almost time for me to drop off near the office; I decided to stand since I am sitting near the window on a 3-seater section. There were a lot of people in front of the bus standing and worried that I might get stuck that long getting out. I was located at the back and the area where I am at is a bit spacious. I was still fixing my things when suddenly the bus stops in full break. I fell on the floor and felt the pain in my back and left ankle as I recover myself from the floor. I had no chance to tell the driver or anyone on the bus that I was hurt since it was time for me to drop off. I wasn’t even able to ask why the bus stopped all of a sudden. I just learned later from an officemate who was on the same bus that a taxi went on our way, and our bus has no choice but to fully break otherwise, we could have hit the taxi.

It was really painful as I walk going to the office. It was at the office that I discovered that I had some bruises on my back. I still waited for a while for someone to accompany to the hospital since I arrived too early, around 7:30PM. Most employees arrive past 9PM. Good thing a friend arrived at 8PM and he volunteered to accompany me to Medical City. It was a busy day at the hospital, well, it’s the end of the year, what do you expect?! I was there at the around 9PM and as I have heard that early, most of their patient were children, who have been injured of firecrackers specifically that of “piccolo?!” I think I stayed at the hospital for an hour, got my ankle checked and x-rayed. Findings as of the moment was that, my left ankle have been sprained but was advised to visit again the hospital on January 3 for the official x-ray results and further examination from a surgeon.

I still worked that whole night and celebrated the New Year with my colleagues at the office and called back home to asked to fetch me after work. I was supposed to stay in Manila after work if that didn’t happened since it would just be a one-day off for me. I am having a hard time walking that time and got body pains too, so I decided that it would be better for me to rest my sprained ankle back home in Los Baños for the rest of the week and that I could recover fast.

Yesterday, I’ve had my left ankle x-rayed again as well as my back here in Los Baños. My parents advised to have it done here to avoid the hassle of travelling back and forth to Manila. Well, good thing that the results are okay and was told that healing time would take around 3 weeks. Still thankful to God that it wasn’t that worse.

It’s off for me until this Sunday and it is war back at work on Monday! Whaaaa, as I check my email on outlook web access, there a lot of things to work on! Hopefully by that time, there’s just little pain or nothing at all. As for my bruises, it’s currently in pain still. It’s almost the same color as those who have been paddled in a hazing (as in kulay talong!) and its size is comparable to an adult palm. This one might take much longer to heal and for the skin to get back to its natural color.

Hay, that’s life, on some instances you really never know what’s going to happen next. Have a blessed day!

December Saturdays

December was a pretty occupied month as expected and sorry if I wasn’t able to update my blog. My weekends have been occupied too. Well, during weekdays… busy at work and it is the busiest time of the year for the company. All Saturdays have been booked. On two Saturdays, I am on wedding. I stood as Best Man on my cousin’s wedding last December 8 in Bulacan and as Groom’s Men to a college friend last December 22 in Tagaytay. Too bad I wasn’t able to attend our company’s Christmas party, since it conflicts with the December 22 wedding. Wish I could divide myself but I was really too tired to join the fun. Just really can’t say no to this good friend of mine since he informed me that I would be part of the entourage 11 months ahead of schedule.

The 15th was allotted in buying gifts for my nieces and nephews. Hay, too crowded at the malls for the Christmas rush! I hate the long line and the wait on the cashier. I still wasn’t able to buy my gifts to my parents yet. I was supposed to buy my gifts to them this week, but something just happened (see my other story).

Moving to the last Saturday of December, I was on a post Christmas Party with my high school friends. Well, it has been a real tradition for us to gather after Christmas since usually it’s the only time available for the majority of us.

Sundays of December was allotted for rest and with family and a bit of sideline. Haha, I really need to earn a little extra.I guess that’s it for this article, I have another story to write. The reason why I am on leave until Friday!

Not yet too late! Happy New Year and a Blessed 2008 to everyone! Cheers!
