1. The impact of global economic crisis on the island was around late of 2008 and early 2009. Ang daming layoff and non renewal of permits to expat workers. Fortunately walang tanggalan sa office namin but a lot of working permits were not renewed from our restaurants for waiters & kitchen staffs. We implement a strict cost cutting measures and being in accounting, left and right ang demand ng kung ano anong klase ng reports. Sobrang nakaka stress!
2. Adik sa online poker in facebook! To the point na magdamag akong maglaro pag weekend. Milyones na sana ang chips ko pero naubos rin kaya iniwan ko na.
3. Inatake yong officemate kong indian at kelangan ilipat sa US hospital. Syempre ang sumama ay yong isang pang officemate na kalahi din niya and for two weeks dalawa silang wala sa office. That was the busiest weeks in my life na pati Sunday ay pumapasok ako.
4. Nag self study ako ng post processing both in Lightroom and Adobe CS3 pero hanggang ngayon syonga pa rin!
5. I did my first ever prenup pictorial to a friend...heheh nagpi feeling lang...
I'll post more next time, hingi muna ako ng approval from my models..hahh
6. Finally i am now driving my scooter legally. But it was not so pleasant experience bago nakuha ang lisensya. First i need to take written exam for driving and traffic laws. First and second take bagsak! ! Buti nalang libre at pwede bumalik araw araw hangang sa pumasa. Then the actual driving test. Bagsak sa zigzag driving during my first take, second take bagsak pa rin for not following instruction daw. Ang sungit pa ng examiner at ini-schedule pa naman ako ng almost a month for my next appointment. Sa wakas pumasa na ako sa pangatlo pero ang pucha limited to 50cc scooter lang ang pwede ko i-drive dahil 50cc lang din ang ginamit ko during the exam! And after a week of driving, i had an accident. Two weeks din akong nakatsinelas lang na pumasok sa trabaho.
7. At sa dami ng stress sa buhay, i reward myself naman para maglameryenda. A 6 days trip to Orlando, Florida! I'll post more pics in my next updates.
8. Planning an itinerary for my long awaited vacation to Philippines very soon! March pa sana 'to but was cancelled dahil sa mga masalimuot na sitwasyon. I'll have a 25 days vacation, dadaan muna ako sa New York for 3 days then deretso na sa Manila then Cebu.
