breakfast at...

sometime ago, the company required us to be at the alabang office at 7 AM for a team building seminar. for me, who hails all the way from novaliches, that would mean waking up at 3AM. luckily, i kind of overestimated the travel time and i end up arriving at alabang junction at 4:45 AM. to pass the time i waited for the local jollibee branch to open at 5 and had my breakfast there.

as i leisurely ate my breakfast and watch the lightening sky, a touch of nostalgia came over me as i recalled the number of times i had breakfast at the jollibee branch of maxilom avenue back when i was working in cebu. i don't know what's the case here in metro manila, but, in cebu, i was surprised that a lot of people patronize jollibee for breakfast. and it's not just office workers but whole families, with the parents wearing their office uniforms and their kids on their school duds. made me wonder if the notion of a family eating breakfast together AT HOME is still valid.

on my first day in cebu, i walked the whole length of this avenue looking for a ride back to my hotel.

continuation...

found out that my friend tom finally got his act together and was able to continue his blogs, albeit on a different blogname. anyone interested may access his blog under 'friends' on the side of this blog.

one other friend just caught the blogging fever. welcome ron. i guess he started blogging as a kind of release valve to the pressures brought in by work ( and people, and articles in magazines and...the list i think is endless, he,he ). kidding aside, i'm glad there's another blogsite i could visit in case i got tired working.

oh, before i forget. enzo also built his own blogs. i'll link his blogsite later on.
and in case he visit this maybe he'll remember this pic:

guilty

a friend came by my workstation this morning and accused me of not updating my blogs. what with all that has been happening this past several weeks, well, i stand guilty of the charge.

our office has moved to its very own building. its just a block or two away from common goal towers ( our original location ) but, without the gazebo and proximity to ayala town center, it seems a world apart.

the building we transfered to still has no elevators. that's ok since our department is in the second floor. but with all the construction and drilling noise going on, we can't really concentrate on our jobs.
