It's snowing in our office!
And I'm going to cry if I lose the "Decorate Your Cubicle" contest! (Pictures to come.)

Live in Bangkok
Blogging to you from Bangkok. I've been here since Sunday for a three-day meeting with 105 people around the world.
Notable "alipin" moments:
- bringing a printer and laptop to my hotel room on Tuesday night to print worksheets overnight
- waking up at 5:30AM on Thursday to cut out country flags in time for the 8AM activity.
Though this was the biggest event I've organized, I was less stressed out than normal. The hotel staff were wonderful and had the kind of customer service that I expect from a hotel (Yes, I'm still traumatized by the meeting at Holiday Inn Galleria in May. Bad trip talaga yung hotel na yun.).
Yesterday, was the last day of the meeting and the Global Implementation Team was recognized by Boss J infront of everyone with matching speech pa about me. Blessing daw ako to have joined WV. I never thought about it, but it's true: every single document for this program have gone through my hands. All the manuals that get shipped around the world, tarpauline banners that get hung on the walls, right down to nametags and table tents during meetings such as these...sa akin galing lahat yun. My gulay. Siguro masochista ako, but masarap ang feeling kahit pahirapan talaga.
A couple of days ago, I ended up having breakfast by myself since I had to wake up early. I was just staring out the window while eating and really, it still amazes me where I end up every year. I guess November is truly my travel month. In 2004, I was in Disney World with Pen. In 2005, I was in Cebu and Bohol. And this year, I'm in Bangkok. I'm excited to find out where I'll be next year. :)

Better than a Boyfriend
Happy 10th Birthday, Baby*! Happy Birthday, Baby! Happy Birthday, Happy Birthdaaaaay...Happy Birthday, Baby!
*Baby is a white, automatic '97 Honda Civic EX Coupe with moonroof, power windows, and stereo (absolutely no CD/cassette player...it's old school like that!). It has seen me finish high school and college. It has witnessed all my dates. It has been with me through every job interview. It has seen me grow up (Naks!). Sadly, I've been away for his two birthdays. And on our 10th year anniversary, I'm not with Baby. Though, I can honestly say that there's not a day that goes by in Manila that I do not miss having him around.
