sportsfest

Our department sportsfest at work has already started and i'm playing tabletennis. (naks! as if lang gud!) There are four competing teams and I'm with the green team. I'll keep you posted about the activity in my other blog. See yah there!

it feels like Friday today

It's still Thursday but it so feels like Friday! Almost everyone left the office early and are off somewhere. It's because we are having a long weekend! It's no work tomorrow because the Tuesday holiday (Osmena Day) was swapped to tomorrow. I'm just glad the telecon ended earlier. It already feels boring being left, let alone having to attend a telecon with offshore counterparts.

I'm not going anywhere, just having some lunch and dinner invites from friends. I got a busy day tomorrow ;)

PUJ strike!

I woke up this morning to a text message my officemate sent. She said that public utility jeepneys are on strike. How would I come to work? Get a taxi? Or will I just be absent? The latter is very much a tempting option however i can't be absent. I have to be at work and get things done. I got up and got ready to leave. True enough, the roads aree empty of PUJs. Private vehicles rule the streets. I finally was able to hail a cab after waiting for quite some time. Of course, during strikes, cabs are in demand and some drivers would even charge than usual. I was surprised to notice that starting from Fuente circle down to Lapulapu bridge, traffic was congested! Why the heavy traffic when there are no jeepneys around? Unbelievable!

Here at work, administrators decided to allow everyone to go home as early as 5:30pm and offered some lift from hired busses. I'm still at work now, i hope the transport strike is over when i'm out.
