good news, bad news. old news, new news

just finished eating dinner. thinking back on today, parang ang daming nangyari at super used ang brain ko today.

we've been working on a presentation to Client for almost 2 weeks now. ang tagal di ba? but thats how it goes in the office. you just keep going back for clearances until the bosses give you their go...so today was round three with the bosses. (the first 2 tries left us bloody and with shattered spirits. well, speaking for myself at least.) i wont go into my frustrations with the daily happenings, since i would not want to sound like all i do is whine... after a heated discussion in the boardroom, we finally had an approved presentation... crafting na lang, wich they left to our discretion. as long as were confident daw. such trust our bosses have on us! hahaha. anyway, just some trivia... bumalik din kami dun sa unang pinag-usapan... binaril nila, pero yun din ang binalikan.. somehow. bilog nga ang mundo. :p old news, new news.

good news! after a rough day... i was pleased to come home to see this orange package for me... i totally forgot ruth sent me a package from virginia and hoped it would reach me before my bday, so i was semi surrised to see a package in my name. its here! hahaha. 3 days early. the simple joys. now my problem is im itching to open it. haha. i keep shaking it to guess what is inside. :p lets see how long i can resist opening it. my first bday gift this year!

bad news... today is a sad day for one of my closest guy friends, mike. tito manny, his dad, passed away. up to now i feel the weight of the situation and parang naiiyak ako na hindi. earlier this year, when i last saw mike, he mentioned to me (and mic) they found out tito had cancer. as if this were not enough to weigh him down, mike's family had other big changes to deal with as well.

in one hand, tito's passing is a blessing so he and his family will not have to suffer longer than necessary. on the other hand, its almost Christmas and i know how close they all are to each other. im going to go see him tomorrow... i still dont know what im going to say to mike when i see him, but im sure ill think of something when i get there. bad, sad news.
