Back to work…

>> The sea urchin that was the center of attention on Saturday morning. Oh, and I lost my other contact lens sometime Friday afternoon. Not exactly the best time to lose one. Next time, bring an extra pair!!!

I should be back at work right now, but I had to call in sick this morning. And I do feel sick as in sick-sick, not having a vacation hang-over sick. 

I really am starting to develop a phobia for Puerto Galera. The first time I went there a couple of years ago, I had gone home with a disgusting mark of an evil jellyfish's tentacle on my right arm. It took more than a month for my skin to clear up. I shared that story with my friends during our first day lunch and was kinda swearing that I would never ever go back to Galera should it happen again.

Well, turned out, it DID happen again! Though I'm still not sure whether it was the same evil jellyfish or her kid was the culprit for all these gross rashes on my upper left arm and leg. Saturday noon while swimming on the same spot where the jellyfish stung me before, I felt the same bolt of electricity though it wasn't as alarming as before. Then the area got really itchy but no rashes came out until the end of the night. So I wasn't certain if it was a jellyfish or the bed bugs cuz Christian didn't have any. Theory: the bed bug decided to get me first cuz I look yummier,had their fill for the night and never bothered Christian for a second round. 

The rashes look so much like the jellyfish sting I had before but why, why, why me??? The rest of the group were swimming for hours in the same spot before we even got there and nobody was complaining about anything. I don't know what's in that water or if that spot (the serene one on the far right side of White Beach near the cave) has something against me .

The rashes makes me wanna sleep all day and the humid weather is making it even worse. Now, how many weeks do I have to wait for me to be able to wear shorts and short-sleeved shirts again? 

Christian's back in Iloilo though. … Two and a half weeks shouldn't be that long. Afterall, we were able to survive 5 weeks without seeing each other.

May 13: I had mucho fun though I still got a lousy time of 34:14 for 5k. 

(RC, me, Joms, Ben, Madz and Doc Brent a.k.a "Ben Chan & Co."…Peace Ben!)

Does he really look like my brother?????

I'm currently using this pic as my YM display image and just weird… Yesterday, 2 people (clients actually) asked me if he was my brother. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Well, happy to know that we look good together. Compatible? Hahahaha! We're B1 and B2!!!

I Missed Blogging…

I had one hell of week…

1. AB Comm buried me with JO's (not that it's too much work but given all my ongoing projects, it's just a lot cuz I have to work during lunch just to catch up with deadlines, when I should be walking around the mall getting some "exercise"…) By the way, I just realized that I've been there for a month now…
2. AMTI's trying to beat their May 30 deadline and that is delivery of materials not just turning over of files! Is that even possible??? Their materials aren't even complete yet and today's what date already???
3. I missed 2 BNI meetings in a row and haven't even registered yet cuz I'm too tired to wake up at 6 to make it to the usual 7am breakfast meet. Brighter side: 2 weeks of no-Chowking breakfast and take-home siopao. Hehe!
4. I wasn't able to do any short weeknight run. Good thing I'm just doing 5K on Sunday.
5. My house is a mess and I don't have any healthy food stocked somewhere

Oh, well… This is the end of my sucker week. The next few are gonna be really worth looking forward to due to the following reasons (woohoo!!):

• Prison Break Season 2 is over. I'm buying DVD tomorrow. Desperate Housewives, Lost and Scrubs are on their season finale. Can't wait for the DVD! I'm not buying a telly (trying hard to be Brit! Ulk!) yet until I finished all those series or else I'd get nothing done.
