Vacation Leave - Dec 26, 2007

My client granted me 3 days vacation leave so I am now making the most out of it. Today, Dec. 26, 2007, my mother is finally back home. I was also glad I was able to wrap the gifts for Totitz, Ariel, Ia, Gio, Amiel, Ahren and my friends Nechie, Sharon and Gina earlier this morning coz I had a little chat with my friend Sharon early this morning and and found out she spent her Christmas at her aunt's place here in Davao. We decided to meet at SM in the afternoon. Gina and her family were also there. Nechie couldn't make it since the poor girl has chicken pox. I just gave my gift for her and Amiel to Gina so her husband Arnel could pick it up at Dencia's.

I was able to go home at almost 12 midnight already.... really trying to make the most of my vacation leave. The following day I went out again. This time only with my best friend Gina. We met at SM.. she was with her sisters, nephews and nieces... her achi Shirley is in Davao for a vacation. I was shocked to see how tall her nieces Misha and Arah are now. When we were still in college these little girls were still in kinder and sometimes Gina would baby sit them. Gosh! Im getting old!

After SM we went home to Dencia's and went up to their room. My bestfriend had a problem with her PC. She took off all the wires and now she does not know where to plug the wires. Ahren grabbed a gum and Gina told her to share it with me. Then he asked me.. "ilan kayo sa bahay nyo?" Not knowing why he asked me, I answered back.. hmm my mama, papa, bro, sis, bro in law and my nephew. While i was enumerating he counted it and gave me 7 gums! wahhhhh!! I said no Ahren! That's too much! Then he replied no its OK.. Ama(chinese term for lola) has lots of gums.. hahaha! kids! But while he was not looking i returned the gums to my friend. I spent the following day resting at home and cleaning my room. Well need to give myself a break and rest. Would not want to get sick during the New year! Read full post...

A Week-Long Off from Work - Dec 24, 2007

It is a holiday today coz it is Christmas eve. We are supposed to come back to work on the 26th but I am lucky coz my client granted me the 3 remaining days of the year as my Vacation Leave with pay. Would have much been merrier if I also had a bonus from my client just like Mark.. hahaha!

We attended Mass at Ateneo de Davao University, where we saw the in-laws of my brother, who invited us to their house since we did not prepare anything for Christmas Eve. It was only me, my brother Mike and my father who were left in the house. We stayed at the Sampaga's residence and joined them with the food that they have prepared and went home just a few minutes before 12 midnight.

I went online and greeted some friends and officemates who were online during that time and dozed off to get some rest.
