"Busy early Saturday execution day, I left at the office a bit late. Today was the planned Tagaytay trip with my De Vera cousins, there's no stopping me in going despite of no sleep after work. Zoo tripping mode! Then went Manila-bound to meet with my Bruno ones. Date, party all night long..."

"Thanksgiving holiday in the US, I had no much tasks to do...until such time my TL assigned some when I was about to go home. Due to the coffee effect, got to see a series episode: Originals before sleep and Glee after. Another first to record: from home to work for P35.00, thanks free bus ride..."

"Finishing a task last night made me vacated for the rest of my night shift. Hashtag 'nganga'. Then joined my Laguna-bounded friends in heading back home...which irritated me due to long travel hours. Did module testing in a project app the next shift and had dinner and coffee with a friend..."

"My TL confirmed it: our team will be transferred to another site...and it's very far from home. Depressing! Plus got sermonized by my onshore lead in a phone call and had a long trip home as I left work. Felt the odds were not in my favor today. Hibernated...got up to be on time for the townhall..."

"Cut by cut sleep just to extend my rest time. This time, it's like Monday to me, first work of the week. I still don't feel going to work on a night shift, weirdo me. Tried to start yet another private blog entry but I'm too lazy for it. Went to office as early as possible; got some bad news to absorb..."

2013: Page 329 of 365

"Lots of thoughts came in my mind, I can't sleep until the sun rose. Joined my sister in her cellphone dilemma thing. Tropapips reunion was again at stake because of the ditcher's excuses...and my 'sick leave' trick caught him. We met with our other friends to dine out and play. Memories. Three years..."

2013: Page 328 of 365

"A new episode of White Collar to start the day. Backtracking past Glee shows when my sister insisted me to go somewhere...and we went to a mall to have ourselves a siblings' date: had milktea at Dakasi, watch Catching Fire movie, and dine at McDo...my treat. 'Twas all worth it. Priceless..."

2013: Page 327 of 365

"Wasted the rest of my work hours in understanding a supposedly-simple task; expected time of being at home was extended: overtime! Glee and TVD to watch after work. Ditched reunion, expected...but trying to reschedule it. Saturday well-spent at home doing laundry and some 'baby stuff' whatever..."

"So there, my body was still used to day shift I again woke up early with two-hour difference from yesterday. Able to watch a movie that I'd been missed in the cinema and do a habit of recording songs again. Early night shift at work, seeking for an early out. Fire drill; busy at an 'easy' task..."

2013: Page 325 of 365

"Aimed to go to work earlier but still the same time of arrival. Anyway, my team mate was out sick, ditched me for the nth time. Had no other choice but to do the tasks along the whole shift. Sort of a practice for me really. Too many processes to know. TWD after work, time to shift my body clock..."

"Bothered the whole thinking about my plan to have a reunion with my first college 'tropa', depressed it may not happen. Can't concentrate to work plus an irritating team mate of mine was a bit pushy. Gladly my tasks were done on track; went home joined by a close friend. We had a lot of talking..."

2013: Page 323 of 365

"Day shift continues, feeling the work responsibilities: there was a task given to me and later on had a change of plans. Scripting in the same app again...and must be done before EOD. Luckily, I did! Then tried to go home early but faced a lot of hindrances along the way. I consider a shift change..."

2013: Page 322 of 365

"Back to day shift for some time...and it was really not a good news though. Hello team mate, hell-o work tasks to be familiarized with. Scripting at its best, hard time understanding the given scenarios. Lots of what-ifs and questions in my head. Project's certification exam was really hard. Busy week..."

2013: Page 321 of 365

"Started a group chat among my 'Tropapips' to plan our reunion; it's been a long time since we had a conversation. Anyway, spent the rest of the day home bound just to catch up with the series I was up to. At night, we went for grocery shopping then out for dinner in a place I once had a food coma..."

2013: Page 320 of 365

"Weekend work feels due to my shift made me really sleepy. First coffee intake in our project. 'Good morning, McKinley!' catchphrase. Able to see my parents after a week though; not able to sleep right away when I reached home: Glee time! After long weeks of worries, they were virtually expressed..."

"Did finish my task from other team, then assigned myself a task to be familiar with my team's work processes. Reading documents made me sleepy. Traffic as I was heading home, same fate as going to work. Alternate routes taken. TGIF still though night shift due to Piazza moments with my friends..."

2013: Page 318 of 365

"The thought of assuming midnight as 'lunch time' with my fellow project mates came by; we ate out of office. Social life plus plus. Last thirty-minute task was given to me by my lead; headed back home with a different route. Kinda irritated due to traffic, day/night. Messed up VDI to start my shift..."

2013: Page 317 of 365

"So there, had a task from other team that caused me a trouble. My lead learned about it and we had a Lync convo in which I think he was kinda upset. Quick video tutorial with my onshore lead about my task in which I did on time. Night three: training and reunion with project mates in night shift..."

2013: Page 316 of 365

"As expected, my first night shift at work guaranteed me to be sleepy. Not really a night person; like a walking dead. As the sun rose, my own self was set to hibernation. Caught up some sleep! Off for my second night at work a bit early to accomplish a form and do an unintentionally-accepted task..."

2013: Page 315 of 365

"Received a not-so-good news today, work-related. So there, I had a hard time in getting more sleep. Another day off. Spent my day in accomplishing my 'supposedly-Sunday' plans like having a new hair do. New TWD episode first before leaving home. Answer to first line: night shift for the first time..."

2013: Page 314 of 365

"Rest day Sunday! Nothing much to do today but spent one-fourth of my day in catching up with 3 TV series I'm up to: The Originals, TVD, and White Collar. Then my 'returned-to-Manila' friend asked me to be at one of my closest friend's house for his pasalubongs. Different new stories to share with..."

2013: Page 313 of 365

"Woke up with a text from my team lead asking me to work on a weekend optionally. I would love to but today's my dad's 50th birthday celebration. Last minute shopping of party needs, then venue prep. Lots of people, interact mode with others. Overall it's great, though it's a first to throw a big party..."

"Despite the biggest typhoon hitting the country, there's no stopping me in getting to work. My team mate did not show up, CBT tasks in my last day of shadowing. I explored my VDI myself though. Free time to hang out with my project mates! Then went home early due windy bad weather at night..."

2013: Page 311 of 365

"Productive day by biking and doing some chores before going to work. Even at the office, felt like I was fully loaded with tasks to do from KT. Bad news, already had my access to client side today. No more 'petiks'; kinda liked it. Asked a close friend to wait for me, a short date as we headed home..."

2013: Page 310 of 365

"Water scarcity; felt like I was dirty the whole time. My KT provider was on morning shift duty, had a lot of time to know the flow of my work. Test scripting, too many clicks to do. Getting nervous though, anytime I will be engaged to work. Somebody's bothering me, and it really made me sad..."

2013: Page 309 of 365

"Walking Dead episode was god-awful, favorite character's off the show for some time. Morning shift with a friend; we're left behind. Had no choice but to do CBTs since my team mate failed to show up for KT. Part of me wished I was in training. Got home early, another close friend at the bus ride..."

2013: Page 308 of 365

"Start of the working week again; had a lot of stuff to do that almost got me late. Tried to resolve a friend's problem...and mine due to an enrolled training that conflicts my tasks. Good thing, got myself a replacement; relieved! Shadowing with a team mate for hours. Somehow, I'm getting used to it..."

2013: Page 307 of 365

"Today, we were heading back to Laguna. Trip phobia alerted me all throughout. Then visited my cousin's place to check out my 'new place' to stay in for work in which I am already considering. Late pizza lunch out before reaching home at 3PM. At night, did my shirt laundry and grocery shopping..."

2013: Page 306 of 365

"Woke up with my auntie's voice. Had chatting breakfast with family. Went to a big dam with them; reminisced a scene with the rocks. Stayed up in Asingan for quite long, bonded until such time the newest baby came over. Headed to another home to celebrate my dad's advanced birthday after..."

"On the road to Pangasinan first day of the month for All Saints' day and celebrate due to the newest Halloween baby. 2-in-1 event! Cousins bonded together under the same roof; our whole family visited Papang in a memorial park. Saw our nanny when we're kids; played cards with my cousins. K.O. ..."
