The Philippine Peso is ending the year with an exchange rate of P49.03 to US$1. It's a good sign that people are getting ready for a better year next year. For my sake I'm hoping that it will be, too.
This year was a roller coaster ride for me. I landed myself a great job in a cool company and have made my finances more stable. I have matured career-wise and have taken the next challenge. But with these highs, came a personal low that I can't discuss here. I hope things get better for 2007.
Cheers!

Nice Rack, Connie!
Nice rack, Connie! I don't know if it's my birthday present for myself but I finally got Connie her bike rack. I wasn't exaclty planning on getting it. It's just that Mike O and Charo were jokingly asking me to get one. And I obliged.
So this is Connie with a Thule rook rack. I got it last Saturday morning and we went straight to Baguio that night to try it out. It was an improvement over Chai's because it was easier to secure the bikes.
Funky!

Luto sa Sariling Mantika
You want to go out of town for your birthday? Umm. OK. Parang you don't want to go. Ano talaga? Yes. Where do you want to go? Vigan! We can't go there. Travel time has to be at the most six hours. OK. Where do you want to go? Baguio? OK. Look for a place to stay there. Found two. They're both expensive because it's the Holidays. Look for someplace cheaper. OK.
Ooops! Teka!'Di ba parang ako ang nag-organize ng sarili kong party?

Shower Time
I think I need to take a shower. I haven't had one since Sunday. Yes, this is the life. Hmmm. I think I'm beginning to smell sound like my father.

Crunch Time
Crunch Time Like the other Decembers of the past, this month is crunch time - trying to get everything up and running before the big holiday network freeze puts everything to a standstill. It's hard. It's tense. Its stress level is the size of typhoon Milenyo. I think I'm getting a lot of gray hair because of this.
But you want to know what's strange? I like it. For some twisted reason, I seem to have missed it and now I welcome it to my system with arms wide open. I love being on the phone and bugging the telco people to help us out. I like balancing between being aggressive and a pain in the ass. I enjoy explaining how an SMS service in the Philippines should work to our technical person in Singapore. These excite me.
Now I pray for these guys to have a little more patience. I know that it's just a few weeks before the holidays, but let's not shut down yet.
