Is It The End of the World?

My officemates and I have been joking about the effect of the recent calamities that hit Japan and even some parts of the world.  We were already planning of doing some things that we were not able to do ever in  our own respective lives and/or indulge in things that we having been hopelessly depriving ourselves of  (e.g., food, shopping, and... and sex included! lol!).  Well, trying to lighten up may be our way of coping with the anxiety and fear of what is happening around us.

But seriously speaking, just thinking about the possibility that the world is already ending makes me ponder about life... and death, as well.  Death is so scary, and so certain..  I hope it won't be too soon.. I still want to enjoy life with my loved ones...

Hence, not to soon... Please...

Summer Vacation Is Almost Here!

I'm now counting the days when school days will soon gonna be over.  After that, I will be able to focus more on my two jobs - my special audit and my regular audit (just to distinguish from the other one, lol).  Hopefully, I will be able to finish those not later than end of this month as there are other extra-curricular activities that have been screaming for my attention for the past few months already, not to mention a number of summer get-aways that I have already scheduled for the next three months of my sizzling life.  I'm so excited!!!

For now, I'm temporarily signing off.  I have some studying to catch up on in a few minutes. :)

Tsunami Scare

BE ON ALERT FOR UNUSUAL WAVES - This was the advisory issued by National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council at around 3 o'clock this afternoon.  This was after Japan was struck by an 8.8 magnitude earthquake and thereafter hit by a 4-meter tsunami.  The coastlines of around nineteen (19) provinces (including Surigao) facing the Pacific Ocean are currently under watch especially between 5pm to 7pm tonight.

Although Metro Manila is not listed among those provinces mentioned, my officemates still counted the possibility that something bad might also happen here knowing that we are just a few kilometers away from Manila Bay.

Accordingly, employees of GSIS, which is located at the reclamation area, were advised to go home early.  Hmm.. I just wish I could go home early too...

I Feel Good Right Now

I just got a call from somebody.  It was good news!  Finally, after almost seven years of waiting... Indeed, God is always good!

As of this moment, the good news was all I needed to perk me up!

Now, back to work.. ;(

Thanks to Shakeys staff!

In spite of my super mega hectic schedule, I could not help but make a quick post in this blog on what happened to me yesterday at SM Manila.

I had a lunch date with some insurance people at Shakeys yesterday noontime.  Since I had a very demanding work already waiting for me at the office, I was already quite impatient with the staff as it took them time to present me the bill.  After paying, I left in haste and forgot all about the documents presented to me by my guests.  I must have thought that those documents, placed on top of the table, were part of the paper placemats of Shakeys.  Blame it to stress. :(

I realized my flaw only a few minutes after I returned to office.  I immediately searched their contact no. thru their website and thereafter phoned and talked to Wilma, their Cashier.  I would have understood if they told me that those bunch of papers were already treated as garbage, but thankfully, they kept it! I learned later the waiter, whom I almost got mad at due to not-so-prompt service, was responsible for taking care of  my documents when he could have easily thrown it away.  Bad thing, I was not able to get his name. :(

Nevertheless, thanks to the Shakeys staff especially to that waiter.  :)
