On April last year, to celebrate our Happy-Meeting-You-Anniversary, my friend Mark and I went to a really cool place that offers go kart and atv racing. It was both our first time then and the experience was just so exhilarating that we decided to have another round on both before going home.

This year though, with him being extremely busy with his new company, we barely even had time to greet each other 0:( I understand the pressure he’s currently in, but it would’ve been really great if we spent at least 2 hours for a nice dinner to celebrate our Happy-Meeting-You-Anniversary.

Anyway, with me being depressed as well with my current unappreciated-undervalued-state at the office, I have decided that what we both need more than anything else is some time to relax and unwind. But it needs to be something that can be squeezed in with our busy schedule. Which is why, as a surprise, I bought two gift certificates at the spa for a 30-minute sauna, Jacuzzi and steam bath, and an hour of private massage. ^_^ I’ve been dreaming of going to a spa with him for the longest time.

Mark wasn’t that happy with the gift though because he doesn’t want me spending that much money on him. But he did agree that he needed the massage. Now all that’s left is for us to schedule a date for that. I can’t wait!

Me and two of my best friends decided to go out of the country for 2 weeks. Naturally relatives and friends who heard of this gave us their own “shop-ables stuff”. A scarf for my sister who collects it from all over, a bracelet for my other sister who collects also, strangely my aunt asked for a bunch of hemorrhoid relief, my mom asked for sweets, etc.

We all wanted to go to India and do yoga on their ashram over there. Luckily, we were able to book a flight early and thus we got the ticket at a cheaper price.

So long cruel cruel world! Off we go to India! See you in two weeks!

After rehearsing for my 40-minute speech about the Basics of SEO for a prestigious state university last September, my friend Eden, sensing how tensed I am, asked if I’d like to go on a long vacation in her province this coming November.

Normally, I would’ve jumped at the opportunity. But this time around, I am very strict on settling all my debts before the year ends; so I gave her a very wishful but sad, “I can’t”. After finding out my real reason, Eden laughed and said it’s going to be an all inclusive vacations for us since her family owns a place there.

My face lit up at the mention of “all inclusive”. She even furthered that I can bring friends and we need not worry about the food and lodging! Imagine that!

Of course, as you know, I DID jump at the opportunity and even invited my Nth level friend. We’re in fact, going there this week! Mind you, all my bags are packed, I’m ready to go (even though our flight is still on Thursday)! *jumps up and down with glee*

A friend of mine called me up in the middle of the night just to brag about the excitement in their Vegas vacations. Their company gave them that incentive for being the top producers of the year. When she called (about past two in the morning), she was almost screaming with joy. “Amazing, this is a dream I don’t want to wake up from” she said. She said that she really wished I came with her to see the great clubs they went to. Of course I was flattered to hear that but I was too sleepy to react.

When I checked my mail this morning, I was surprised to see a lot of emails from her. I almost fainted when I saw the picture of the club she was in. Naked men and women was all I could see. Hahaha. Now I get it why she said she wished that I was with her. She just wants a wing man.

Summer is almost over. And somehow my cousin who’s been taking the best weight loss pills to get that dream summer bod has been seeing great results. She said we just have to go and see the beach before summer ends. Being a water baby, I ain’t protesting to that I idea. So it has been decided that on the next weekend we’re hitting the shores of Bali! On Wednesday we’ll be doing our bikini shopping as for the summer dresses I have tons already. So it’s gonna be sand, ocean and loads of fun in the sun as we will be staying there for 10 days. Pure paradise it is!

I’ll be leaving for Japan this weekend for a vacation and probably a field report on Japan jewelry. My client gave me this vacation as a gift for my outstanding service. At the moment, I am still not that excited maybe because the idea still hasn’t sinked in. Departure is on Friday and I’ll arrive there the next day. It has always been my dream to go to Asia especially in Japan. I’ve heard they have good jewelry there and I’m planning to make an article regarding their platinum diamond rings (I’ll definitely use my savings for this one).

Waaaah!!! I still can’t believe it! Could somebody pinch me or slap me in the face?! I think it’s sinking in now… my heart is beating so fast I feel I’m going to have a heart attack! “breath- in.. breath out.. relax…” Aaah! I cant wait ‘til Friday comes!

Hey guys, I need some help with something. Feel free to comment on this okay? I think I need to replace my three year old laptop as soon as possible. My HP has already been upgraded several times and I guess it has already reached it’s limit. It can no longer handle my processor intensive applications like Maya and photoshop CS3.

I have done some research in the net and some window shopping in the malls to find the perfect laptop for me. A friend of mine suggested that I get the newest Mac. I have always been a fan of the apple but I’m not sure if I can use one for work. I saw a Sony Vaio in one of the stores and instantly fell in love with it. It has similar specs with the Mac and has the same price but my friend says that Macs are better in graphics processing and 3D rendering (not to mention the angst factor in Macs). So if you were to choose, which will you pick?

I couldn’t believe I could experience having breakfast, lunch and dinner in three different locations separated by islands which are miles apart. From the pickup point to the airport and in the areas visited and back to the pickup point, a systematic land transportation was also arranged. This happened to me because I was a member of the VIP entourage where every detail of the trip had been scheduled and coordinated with proper authorities. With this whole day hectic schedule, every second counts and proper timing makes a big difference. The successful trip was the result of a series of conferences.

Today, there’s no need for a long time to prepare and coordinate the details of your business and recreation activities in US, Europe, the Caribbean and Latin America. Services like the Celebrity Jet will provide the air and land transportation services that you need to make your day happy and fulfilled.

My company recently occupied an entire floor in a new building last December 2. The facilities are fantastic and I love the architectural and interior design of the building. I’m happy with our new workstations as well, especially since we switched from tiles to carpet and we now have professional looking dividers. It all looks very sophisticated.

The new office is in fact almost perfect, except for one thing – the signal of most of our mobile phone networks are close to null and most of the time fluctuating. It’s quite frustrating really. For a building boasting of being modern and high-tech, they definitely should look more into essential features like that.

Anyhow, our HR already informed the building admin about that issue and they said they’ll be working on those as soon as possible. Meantime, I’ll be getting myself a cell phone repeater to make sure I don’t get delayed sms and I’m reachable by anyone at all times especially in case of emergencies. *sigh*

With the winter season approaching, my mind’s swimming with thoughts of conversion rate optimization for our skiing and snowboarding websites even during weekends!

Halt. This has to stop. All work and no play makes one… ya know the rest.

Weekends were made to recharge, and that’s what I should do. Work hard, party harder. I believe I’ve earned the party harder part now. So… for this weekend, I’ve scheduled an entire day of water therapy spa haven with my bestfriend Mark. ^_^ THAT should more than suffice, don’t you think?
