free time

relieved. a few hours after my oral defense. hahaha. can't get over the fact that am done. at long last. it's been 3 long years of fun and pain combined.

am saying goodbye to the busy me. and saying hello to free time. adjustments are in order. sabi ko kay j, our fate has reversed, sya na yung hindi makausap pag weekend and here i found myself actually helping him, check his students' test papers, grading them and encoding some of his lectures for him.

now free time what do i with you? hmmm.maybe some of the free time, ill spend thinking about what to do with you.

maybe ill engage in sports. not me. maybe ill join youth clubs. not exactly me but can try. maybe ill just stay in the house, find my laundry, clean up, etc. half-me so can try. or maybe doll myself up.haha not so me. hmm bahala na lang. in the meantime, i thank the Lord for bringing me where i am now. free time is YOUR bonus to me so im gonna savor it.

liberating

I am surrounded with a lot of blessings these past two weeks. I passed my oral defense last Thursday and that signals the end of my MBA. Both happy and sad. Happy coz I’ve successfully juggled work with studies and without compromising one over the other. Sad coz school I’ve told friends had been my boredom antidote. For lack of anything new to do, ang sarap kapag pupunta ka sa isang hallway na puno ng tao from different walks of life – may entrepreneur, may careerwomen and men, may bum, may clueless and searching for what best to do, but we all share one thing in common, we are S-T-U-D-E-N-T-S, na nanginginig kapag finals na, pero tatawanan na lang after, coz its spilt milk anyway, yung magpproject infront of everyone acting like you know everything you’re about to report when you’ve just studied it a few minutes ago, beating deadlines overnight for papers na binigay two months back pa..hayy the joys and pains of an MBA life. And truthfully, what helped me through was knowing that, we were all in those joys and pains together, my friends in MBA na kapareho ko din pala, magcram, magpanic, magworry.its such a relief. The 3 years just wheezed by…and to know that its, over, it so liberating.

lots of things happening

A lot of things are happening around me and with me. Si ying has gone to Europe! And with so many pics she shared with us, parang nakita na rin naming ung paris! Take us with you next time. Pero I promised j that wherever I go, nothing beats the experience of being with him so isasama ko sya when I go to beautiful places like these, which means ung funds naming should be times 2. haha!

And then, there goes my friend’s misfortune naman last Friday, so extra careful my dearies. I might be tagged as paranoid coz you can never make me bring more than 2 thousand without being edgy. and cards and all of my ids, I never bring all of them. Bahala ng kumalat sya sa mga drawers, and sa maraming bags hehe.

And then theres’ the AD CONGRESS. I’ve been intrigued by this event. Working for some time now in market research, I’ve always wanted to be part of it and luckily this year I got to join. There’s a lot of things to be learned. The line up of speakers were a powerhouse, starting with John Gokongwei who opened the event, he relayed 3 extraordinary successes – SUN CELLULAR, C2 and CEBU PACIFIC. Wow.

And then si neil gaiman, he was very natural coz he shared what he knew and that was very clear in his message. WRITE ABOUT WHAT YOU KNEW. And his closing, it was superb. I’m not good at telling stories coz I miss the details but he basically emphasized what imagination can do, its power and how we often miss it because we are too busy..

So much for imagination, here’s one of the very few but my fave pic during the ad congress.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! :)
