life update # whatever

ugh. it's afternoon as i type this and i think im paying for last night's episode of temporary gluttinous (sp?) insanity. i wolfed down some chocolate chips and mixed junk food. i think it was just my brain asking for calories.

had the HSBC assessment center bit yesterday, and i thought it turned out ok. i should be getting a call from them by the end of this week, and hopefully the response is going to be a positive one. i find myself leaning towards entering into a position in this company, among various reasons is that they seem to know best who i am and what i am capable of. that can only bode well for me receiving the proper kind of work that won't keep my unhappy. what helps is that friends who work for this company actually have LIVES despite being compensated well. this is a pretty good deal i think. oh yes, their CEO is also a triathlon nut. company culture should be compatible enough.

other things happening include the ateneo aquathlon finally taking place last sunday. just a little hairy and hectic during the morning registration, but over all something that turned out ok. the medal ceremony was nice. the overall winners were teenagers from laguna. nice to imagine that they'll be doing well and great in the future. glad this project is finally OVER. stress for sure. but it taught me a lot of things, and will help in the way that i manage and implement projects in the future.

bob and i have been working on our amazing race video. it's full of hot air. sent a few clips of our work off to len and jojo and they could only say, "yabaaaang". ha ha. well, that's gonna be our little differentiating tactic. we can't be as fun, perky and adventurous as other people, but it won't be easy to top us in terms of sheer arrogance and self-assured smugness. he he. it's an act, folks. though we do loove ourselves. hopefully bob figures out how to do all the editing soon.

what more is there to report? well, a little disappointment that brokeback didn't win. and the political noise going around the internet, "middle class" folks sending around all sorts of e-mails. valid points some of them, some pretty silly points in others. all quite loud, angry, and intolerant of viewpoints other than theirs. kinda shows that they dont think much actually, the fact that everything is black, white and nothing is concilliatory. well being simplistic is always the easy way. i haven't wired my brain yet to think that way about certain things. least of all political, economic issues.

am looking forward to the weekend! bob's b-day AND i get to attend a tea-party w/ lots of cake Sunday. hope ur weeks are turning out good.
