first week at RCBC

i'm backers after a super long absence from the blogging community.

today is my first week at GXS - my new office - and i don't have much stories about work yet. almost everything looks a lot like enterworks.. except that the place is bigger (*4). my workstation is greeny too and i brought along my Starbucks Bearista friends to keep me company since myCoco is now on the other side of the street. i also miss my laptop but my machine here looks neat anyway. i have my jerry yan calendar with me too! phone here is super cool and i have a whiteboard all for myself which is ultimate coolness (that's the white thingie on the right of my pc)! they gave me office supplies on my first day and they gave me my pc on my 3rd day (which means, i just read and read until i got my pc). washroom is just as nice.. i think they have unlimited supply of toilet paper! nyahahaha!

pantry here is cool as well. it's got a nice view of the world down there (as if 36th is super up there)! myCoco went here for lunch earlier and he was awed. i hope he could come over everyday for lunch and bring me Tapa King once in awhile but he'll be on graveyard shift starting Monday next week and will only be a sleeping-normal human being by december! *buti na lang* since our wedding will be on january. and by the way, pantry has unlimited paper towels! and what myCoco loved most was the coke vendo! i miss free pine-orange juice though.. even the iced tea that i only drink once in a blue moon.

oh wells, have to work again and be bibo. else..

Tanny weather now..

finding a dress ain't easy

aside from getting the right fit, right price and right style.. i need at least 4 days to find one! tomorrow will be one of our soon-to-be-ninongs 5oth birthday party and it took me 4 days to find what i will be wearing. i was hoping to find a nice dress.. but then.. i settled for the slacks-blouse thingie.. it's comfortable and i can wear each with something else. not cheap though. argh.. that's what happens when you don't have much time too look for something to wear (4 days ain't too much time).

sunday, i went to makati with my mom. we were at the mall right after hearing mass. we had lunch at sugarhouse (yep, they have rice meals and pasta.. i used to not know).. we started looking for the perfect dress. after a few hours without any luck, we ate again at mexicali.. didn't make my stomach satisfied though.. and we looked again until i found a skirt.. i bought it hoping i could find something to pair it up with.. demmits.. i didn't find one. but it's really nice! after more than 7 or 8 hours at the mall, we decided to go home.. frustrated and very tired.

the next day, my ever-so-patient-fiance, honeyCoco went to the mall with me. he loves to criticize the couches on every dress shop.. promise! that became his hobby since he always goes with me whenever i look for shoes or clothes. of course, i didn't find the right dress.

(yes, same thing.. went to the mall again and found nothing.. so i copied and pasted..)!

why is it hard for girls to find clothes?! because there's just too much options. unfair!
