Busy...

I hate the word busy...I hate hearing it, I hate saying it. It's such an unfriendly word...or tone for that matter but it's something I've been all too familiar with recently. I haven't had time to take a breather and every time I seem to get a few minutes to myself something else comes up. hahaha...I'm not complaining. It's challenging and it makes me push myself harder, way past the limit. The silver lining, I get to share this experience with about 12 other people. :) We're in it to win it! :)

I should really get into the habit of blogging about the events I've been doing. That way, we can all share in the things I've been busy about. Next time then.

Oh how the Holidays have come...

In the Philippines where I have lived all my life it has been customary to start celebrating Christmas once the BER months hit. Meaning once September 1 comes all the establishments start playing Christmas tunes. I kid you not...

Usually for someone in the service industry that also means a huge influx of work, not that I'm complaining. Recently I've been swamped in work that my life has been on hold. Hahaha...as usual. Such is customary for someone in the service industry, how fortunate of me to have people who love me enough to support and understand me when I'm not there half the time and pick me up where ever I am the other half of the time. Yes, I am blessed.

Anyway, as I was saying. I have been working non-stop for the past how many weeks I've actually lost track. Suffice to say it's been crazy, so when the opportunity to pack my bags and escape for a weekend away from work came along I jumped on it without looking back. And this is where my story begins. :)

I have been trying to learn how to surf for the past two years. Let me explain. I've had numerous attempts at surfing and I actually love the sport but the fact that I don't get to go out as often as I want to and that I am such a -frady cat has kept me from actually progressing. I am still a beginner...that only means It's a whole lot of push me fun every time I head out.

Well, the last long weekend brought me, the bu and our friend Colin to Zambales. It was such a fun drive! :) Albeit long due to the amount of people travelling at the same time. I had so much fun! :) We were supposed to stay at a cousin's place, let's just say...I was freaked out so we crashed in another cousins house. It was sooo much fun. An adventure to say the least! :) Here are a few shots I thought would be nice to share. :)

What a last two weeks it has been...

I've been buried in work the past two weeks and it's been crazy! haha...I had to do a lot of presentations, edit and re-edit them, work on the costs as well and then I had to attend all these meetings and to a media launch in between. Top it off with an event I had to attend to cause I was covering for an officemate. Yes, it has been crazy. hahaha...but that's not all...on a more personal note, I've been shuffling from hotel room to hotel room cause I've been spending time with my aunt who has been driven out of her house by her a** of a neighbor and on the days I'm not there I'm with my cousin who came in from the States...so there. I have been tied up. But at the end of it all, I'm still alive and that makes me happy! :)

Work has been fun! :) I am actually enjoying myself a lot. The work is really hard especially when the pressure of making all these things happen get to you. But then again it's what you live for. Challenging yourself, pushing yourself to the limit almost to the point of breaking but not really. Then you make it and you're there. You're right where you're supposed to be and you went through all that. Amazing feeling it gives you.

I did my first media event with the company and it was packed. So many people came that it was crazy. I missed that. :) I really wouldn't be able to do any of the things I've been doing had it not been for the people around me. I remember panicking and crying at the same time. Hahaha...then everyone just got me to where I needed to go. :) Amazing friends! :)

I guess at the end of all that work and all that crazy I'm just happy to be where I am. I am getting better at what I do. I am getting better at being patient...haha, trust me I need loads of it. But I am getting better at it. :)

Now, if only I could find the right time to celebrate! :) Going to the beach with family and friends two weeks from now! :) I am excited!
