Stress

The QBR for one of the accounts that I am handling was done. Technically speaking, I did well (or maybe that was just them saying it because ??? i don't know..), but i knew it did not go well as planned. It would mean a lot of work again just to bring up the statistics of the team for it to make the agents' performances acceptable. Either way, this is a very critical time for me still. Oh well.

On another note, what I'm looking forward to is the Daraitan adventure. I'll try to do rappel and see where my endurance will take me. It will be a fun trek (i hope!) and hopefully, I would get to meet some new people (hmm.. i sense a hidden agenda <wink!>).

Rappeling and Basic Mountaineering Course by Piknikers Mountaineers

Will be attending a Free BMC and Rappelling course meeting this Saturday. I guess, this is really it. I will finally be a mountaineer. As far as I know, BMC or Basic Mountaineering Course will teach me all the basics of climbing mountains.

This is going to be fun. I just hope it won't eat too much of my finances as I am broke (for the hundredth time.. haha!) again. :)

Looking forward to learning lots.

Restless

I hate this feeling.

I should have been refreshed from a 4 day vacation but why am I feeling this low? I should be feeling pressured and stressed right now since QBR is fast approaching but why am I feeling so lazy and easy go lucky?

A View From The Top - Pico de Loro, 6/26/10

1 - 2 - 3 - 4

It's been a while since i posted a song lyrics here. So far, i have this compilation in the office courtesy of excel. I haven't quite figured out how to link a particular MP3 file without it being too big of a file (i now have over 70 song lyrics!), all of which are somehow my favorites. Here's one song lyrics with a very catchy tune and wordings when you listen to it. 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 by the Plain White Ts. :)
1-2-1-2-3-4
Give me more loving than I've ever had
Make me feel better when I'm feeling sad
Tell me I'm special even though I know I'm not
Make me feel good when I hurt so bad
Barely getting mad
I'm so glad I found you
I love being around you
You make it easy
Its as easy as 1-2-1-2-3-4
There's only one thing
To Do
Three words
For you
(I love you) I love you
There's only one way to say
Those three words
That's what I'll do
(I love you) I love you
Give me more loving from the very start
Piece me back together when I fall apart
Tell me things you never even tell your closest friends
Make me feel good when I hurt so bad
You're the best that I've had
And I'm so glad I found you
I love being around you
You make it easy
It's easy as 1-2-1-2-3-4
There's only one thing
To Do
Three words
For you
(I love you) I love you
There's only one way to say
Those three words
That's what I'll do
(I love you) I love you
(I love you) I love you
You make it easy
It's easy as 1 2 1 2 3 4
There's only one thing
To Do
Three words
For you
(I love you) I love you
There's only one way to say
Those three words
That's what I'll do
(I love you) I love you
(I love you) I love you
1-2-3-4
I love you
(I love you) I love you

Travel Fun

When i was a kid, i often enjoy long trips going somewhere. Regardless of where it is, how long the stay was, I see to it that I get to have the window seat so I can enjoy the scenery.

Now that I am grown up (but still a child at heart), I still have the same passion for travelling. I don't have the luxury of time and money to do so, but I do so whenever I can. I have 2 planned activities that are lined up.

This coming saturday, I will be joining a group of mountaineers in climbing Pico de Loro. This will be the second mountain that I will be climb, the first being Mt. Manabu. I am now feeling the same excitement that I felt when we were about to climb Manabu. I felt excitement, intensified, and energized. Somehow, a good nature trip does wonders for me. Here is the itenerary that they have prepared:

0330 Registration at Mcdonalds El Pueblo, Ortigas
0400 ETD to Mt. Pico de Loro
0700 ETA DENR / jump-off point
0800 Start trek. Note that jump-off point is 10 minutes' walk away from DENR
0845 ETA rest station, Basecamp 1
1200 ETA summit, lunch
0100 start descent to Magnetic Hill
0600 ETA jump-off point.
1630 ETD to Manila
1930 ETA Manila

Next stop would be our trip to Bohol and Cebu. I was lucky enough to be informed by my office friend, Rosa, that there was a seat sale from PAL. So, tagging my friends along, we will all be spending 3 days on both locations. Our iteneraries are as follows:

Day 1 - flight to Bohol, city tour for me and Rosa and her brother. In the afternoon, my friends will be arriving as well, we will be checking in on a hotel where we will lounge and swim, and laugh, and gossip all we want.
Day 2 - Danao. This is where we will be doing some adventure activities such as zip line and bungee jump.
Day 3 - Cebu city tour and flight back home.

I am anticipating a not-so-relaxing vacation, but this will also be the first time that I will be riding a plane, so there.

FUN FUN FUN!!!
