Pagod at Puyat

Taken during our convention last September 6-8. Although tatlong araw lang ito eh July pa kami nagpe-prepare. Kami kasi ang gumawa ng software that would process and register more than a thousand attendees of the convention. Medyo hi-tech kasi each computer ay may nakakabit na webcam and it takes the picture of each delegate and prints the pic on their IDs. Ginawa rin namin election software nila. Pang-touchscreen sana where they can just make pindot-pindot on the monitor kung sino boboto nila kaso di na kinaya ng budget nila to provide us with the special monitors. Sayang!

Dahil kaibigan ko yung isa sa mga officers ng association eh I volunteered to man the registration and election booths for the whole duration of the convention. Naalala ko tuloy nung nasa UP pa ko, registration volunteer din ako dun, RVC pa nga tawag sa amin eh.

Pero stressful sya sobra. I had to wake up early and sleep late just to make sure okay ang lahat. There were technical glitches kaming na-experience which up to now boggles my mind. Naisip ko these were caused by the hardware supplier not following the specs na binigay namin. Pero there’s no way to know for sure, kakainis! And now, I’m sick. So heto ako ngayon sa office nagkakalat ng germs, he he

Christmas na!

December 1978

I went to the spa last night because my right arm and shoulder were killing me. I overexerted myself when Sweetham and I and mga kapatid went bowling na may pustahan. He he, di sulit pagsakit ng balikat ko kasi ang baba ng score ko, di man lang umabot ng 100. Talo tuloy kami. I used to be good at this, back when I was still employed and the office would have teams competing against each other. Dito nga kami nagsimula ni Sweetham kasi mahilig din sya mag-bowling and inuumaga kami kakalaro. Heniways, nalalayo ako sa aking nais sabihin. Dun sa spa, may Christmas lights na. Then kaninang tanghali, I went to National Book Store today kasi sale!!! Book prices at much as 50% off. Heniweys again, may Christmas tree na. Sa Rustan's ganun din. Ako na lang ata ang wala pang Christmas decor. Mabuti pa ang ibang diwata, nagsimula na yuletide season nila. Di bale, bukas na bukas din, tatayo ko na din sa aming bahay ang aking mini-Christas tree!!! Promise!

Sa wakas, natapos ko na tag ni Atinapay :)
