Condo condo condo

It's been a month already since my dad started with his latest pet project, which is renovating the condo unit he bought for me. Based from the feedback I got from Tita, I have a rough idea of what the unit looks like at the moment.

But there are still some items that needs to be done before we can call it "complete". My dad though is targeting November 15 as the completion date.

That means that by the time Ate Rose gets back from Nepal, he'll be unveiling the result of his latest project. :D

I can't wait to see what it looks like. ^_^

(I'm so excited I can't stop talking about it. :P)

Good News, Bad News

I didn't really have any plans yesterday, being it a Friday and all. Usually naman kase I go home after work. Or maybe I was just accustomed to going home after work kase dati either umaga na or suuuper late na in the evening. Pero yesterday's different. Well, the past weeks have been different, kase I'm working on day shift na. 10am-8pm. So I leave the office with the malls wide open.

Kahapon while I was eating my dinner (I usually eat around 6:30 or 7pm now), nagtext saken si Abi. Sabe niya movie nights daw ang ilang Dev C, and she asked me if I wanted to come along. Since matagal ko nang hindi nakasama sa labuyan, I agreed. I didn't have anything to do that night anyway. So napagkasunduan na 10pm kame manonood sa Glorietta. Ang movie? In my Life.

I left the office a little over 9pm. I was thinking of taking the bus, pero naisip mahabang lakaran pa ang magaganap kapag nagbus ako. Plus the fact na kelangan ko pang tumawid sa kabilang side ng EDSA just to get on a bus going to Glorietta. So naisipan ko magtry ng MRT. It has been a while na din naman since I got on a train, parang since Japan days pa ata (and that was like three years ago pa). Plus, I'll be walking less kase ung station ng MRT sa Ayala eh connected na sa mga malls (Glorietta and SM) so ndi mainit ang lalakaran ko.

Driving is hard work

It's been almost a year, but still I can't drive on my own.

Well, I can drive, but not confident enough to drive solo.

Usually I have my dad or my brother or some other guy who knows how to drive with me.

Just in case someone needs to pull the handbrake.

Recently though, they've been getting more lenient... Like my brother (since my dad's not around) have been letting me park the car, giving me some instruction on the way. Before they'll be the one to park the car, especially after the "adventure incident".

Last week, my brother let me park the car all by myself. He told me to drop him off their house, and I'll be the one to park the car at home. I got a little nervous at the thought, but since I was able to get the car out earlier without not much hassles, maybe I can park the car as well. (BTW, this won't be the first time for me to park the car. It's just the first time I'll be ALONE when I park the car).

Staying or leaving

So after all that has been said and done, I'm still here.

I haven't done much writing though... wonder if it's my apathy kicking in...

Anyway...

Last week my manager approached me for the result of my annual review. What basically transpired from our discussion was what I was expecting all along. Well, too much of it anyway. He didn't say anything that I didn't already know. It was mostly a confirmation.

Secret and Confidentiality

Do you have secrets?

I believe everyone have secrets of their own. Things that they don't want others to know, or things that they would only let a select few know of. Secrets are common, though for the most part, people don't know because it's a secret.

Secrets, in one aspect, should be treated as a rite of passage to one person. Having one person tell you about their secrets in life means that they trust you enough with those secrets. To some, the secrets that other people hold are trivial - people they like, decisions they're pondering over. There are some secrets though, that are far more serious; in one sense, they can be considered skeletons in the closet.
