random ramblings **Warning...this blog entry has no rhyme or reason. I'm just going to write down what I have in mind.*
The long hours are once again getting to me. Plus possibly the sudden climate change. Plus maybe my immune system is fucked up. I don't know but I'm sick and for once, my trusted Airborne tabs aren't working.
I wish I can stay home and get some shut eye but unfortunately, there really is just too much to do. There are PPC campaigns to create, keywords to add, bids to monitor...plus we've been short-handed at the shop (Andy, we miss you!) so it's been crazy. Today, I had to rush to BDO Katipunan, make a stop at Makro Cubao, go back to the shop in Katipunan and rush back to work in Ortigas. Is it worth it? I still believe it is. I love my job. I love the shop. Plus, I now care about my future.
It's almost a blessing that Leah is as busy as I am...otherwise I am pretty sure she'll end up complaining about my work hours. But since her work hours are worse than mine (I can hardly believe it myself...I thought my 14-15 hour workday was hard to beat), we understand each other.
This experience has also taught me the value of time spent together...something I used to take for granted. Now, every opportunity to spend a little time with someone you care about matters. It doesn't even matter if it's as stupid as a 10-minute cab ride from Makati to Eastwood. I no longer view those moments as impractical inconveniences. Those moments are now cherished.
And speaking of moments to be cherished...I miss Mika. I realized that maybe my baby sister (ok, so she's not a baby anymore) left without realizing that she meant the world to me. Did you, Mika? You do know how much I love you, right? And how, if you didn't leave, I'd have worked 20 hours a day if I needed to? I sometimes wonder if I couldn't have done more to keep my family together. Too late for regrets now, I know.
To end this journal entry, I'd like to do a shameless plug. Check out

Until next time.
