Mars: an unhealthy obsession

The obsession started Saturday, Oct 14 at approximately 930pm. It ended at 3am the following day but only because my eyes were already bloodshot and my head was hurting. It began again at 1230pm, Sunday and ended at 12am...temporarily.

I've sworn off DVD series marathons about a month or two ago. I realized then that I "lost" time...I begin watching in the morning and then suddenly night has crept up on me. I didn't like the feeling because to me it was a day wasted that left me with headaches and sore, teary eyes. I was actually supposed to blog about the hazards of pirated DVD series but good thing I didn't because I would have had to recant that post.

BECAUSE...

Make that 4 things

I need to add to my earlier post. There's a fourth event that happened that's sooooooo tragic!

ATENEO LOST IN THE CHAMPIONSHIPS!

After the Hail Mary shot of Doug in the first game of the best-of-3 series, it seemed that everything went downhill for us. Game 2 was the worst. Good thing that at least it was a very close and tight 3rd game (running into overtime) and I didn't feel as bad as I would have felt if I think we had a lousy run. But still!!!!! All the sacrifices I made!!!!! I was able to get a ticket at the very last minute last Saturday for Game 2. I thought my co-workers saved me a seat only to find out that they saved me a step...as in on the steps where people were constantly passing. It wouldn't have been so bad but I was wearing a really short skirt. And then because we lost the 2nd game there was a do-or-die match. I had to sneak out of a meeting (the game was at 3pm), ride the MRT, and walk from the station to the coliseum in heels. I was really sweating when I got there.

But it was super a lot of fun. I realized that I missed cheering for the alma mater and that I missed college. Before I used to be inspired to watch the games because my crush was on the team for a couple of years. Hahahaha! I felt really sorry for the seniors of the team who are graduating this year. I know that we were really so close to the championship, only to have it snatched away. Oh well. Even if we didn't win, I believe that we always have the cutest players! Haha!

Here's the video of the miracle shot by Doug Kramer/Norman Black's unbelievable play (makes the loss more painful for us :( )

One big fight!

I'M BAAAACK

...well, just for now. I haven't blogged in ages and I haven't been visiting the blogs I frequent. Work has been crazy, as always, but never been as hectic as today in the past 2 weeks. There was a constant stream of people coming and going, sitting in my visitor's chair and consulting. I felt like a doctor today with a lot of scheduled and walk-in patients. I want to buy those signs that say: The doctor is IN and stick it in my cube.

Anyways, I haven't really felt like writing because as usual, I have nothing interesting to write about. Well, there was the typhoon last Thursday and for the first time in corporate history, work was called off for two straight days. Thursday of course since it was really stormy and Friday as well since power wasn't restored in about 80% of the Northern region.

Generally I've been happy these past months except for 2 things: I've been gaining weight (AGAIN!!!) and I haven't accomplished my goal of taking the GMAT last September. So sad.... I'm planning to start reviewing again and hopefully by end October or early November I'll be able to schedule and take the test.

Oh make that 3 things...my brother once again is the bane of my existence. I don't plan on talking to him EVER. EVER EVER EVER.

To end on a good note, here's a picture of Sophie
