After Shift Musings
July 9, 2018
Staring at my laptop and blinking non-stop! My head is definitely in a spin. Whenever I post photos and write their respective descriptions, I can always do it in less than 30 minutes to 1 hour, no sweat. Whenever I write about a place I have travelled, I can easily find the right words to pen my feelings down. But sadly enough, whenever I talk about my day's events and about me, I feel nothing ever comes out of my organ of intelligence, in other words, my brain. Inserting cricket sound, LOL. Now, @adam.tran's FAILED ULOG photo just flashed right before my very eyes. LOL. Well, I am introvert hence the difficulty to connect with others at a certain level. But for the record, I am never anti-social, I can socialize quite well but I admit it exhausts me emotionally.
Honestly, I am getting the hang of this. I must say @surpassinggoogle's ideas are all marvelous. I mean he is the man! @iamqueenlevita, my seatmate/co-worker/photography master/foodie buddy & coffee buddy is so lucky to have met him. All the more, she was able to have a photo with him, not that I am into photos and posing but it would have been cool to take his photos.
Life In A Day
I woke up 4:45 AM and worked from home for an hour and a half. After my early morning shift, I went back to bed (without any problem at all). Woke up 8:00 AM and had lunch with my cousin and her husband. I always have great breakfast-mornings whenever I am in their house!
10:45 AM - posted a photo for the World of Photography contest. Today's photo theme "animal photography".
11:10 AM- off to the Cebu City but first - coffee fix at Starbucks! It has been our ritual (@coffeemug and I). She goes for "Barista" drink and I always have either a latte or a macchiato, does not matter if hot or cold.
1:50 PM - arrived the office and surprised to see @iamqueenlevita scattered on the floor, LOL, I know I am purely exaggerating. FYI all, our office has a funny set-up, we can eat here, study here, sleep here, and even take a bath here - well to put it simply, we can live here! NOTE: I say "here" because as of the moment, I am ULOGGING from my office.
3:00 PM - decided to eat unhealthy goodness, not my cup of tea but being a Filipino, I have to stand up to unhealthy living (sarcasm at its finest, I know). Eatery of choice was, Pungko-Pungko sa Fuente. Pungko in the Cebuano dialect means to squat, this type of restaurant originated in the streets. Vendors had to put the whole unhealthy shebang of oily foods like lumpia taas (spring roll - long), lumpia mubo (spring roll - short), ginabot (fried pork intestine), bola-bola (meat balls), and longanisa, and adobo on a small table, while you make yourself comfortable in an uncomfortable tiny stool. Well, since I am not used to this eating lifestyle, we had to swing by a generic pharmacy to get me some meds.
Exchanged good natured banters with @lecongdoo3 & Helen a.k.a. Anh Beo. See below. LOL.
6:00 - 11:30 PM - Worked like there was no tomorrow.
11:35 PM - late night coffee fix. I know, am all about coffee. It's all I ever think of when I am not drinking coffee and when I am, I still am thinking when my next cup will be. One might think, am killing myself with caffeine, no - it is my elixir of life, LOL. Seriously, my doctor said I can do 3 to 4 cups in a day. She has got my annual physical exam results, not the best but pretty much normal for an oldie like me. LOL. In closing, there are things I would love to talk about but cannot find the right words to write them in the most civil manner possible, one that is appropriate to be written on social media. I would love to criticize in a constructive manner without sounding so hurtful. In other words, I would want to raise awareness. But for now, let me just talk about petty things and coffee.
