woah! november's near its end and i still don't have an entry here. hence, i thought of resuscitating this gasping blog before jem and mai order a coffin for it.

november 2005 has been the most stressful and brain-draining month in my entire life. why? because of work. yes, i actually worked again! i have been so focused with my work that i didn't have the time to chat or write an entry here. i had such a huge amount of backlog in my annual quota that i really had to work my ass off since the year is about to end. fortunately, my efforts paid off and now i'm on target. i'm 277% productive this month (actually, it's 308% but i'll just have the 31% variance be credited for next month), which brings me to 95% of or $60k away from my annual target. whew!

hmmm.... i think i can smell the president's club closing into me.... the smell of the briny sea breeze blowing from the caribbean while walking along the white sand beaches of the grand cayman islands.... the smell of fresh pineapple juice or perhaps mango daiquiri while richard and i are lazing on the hammocks in front of the ritz-carlton.... hehehe!

on the other hand, i hope that my manager's proposal will get approved. she proposed that we should be given the option to choose between grand cayman islands or the equivalent monetary value of the trip. if it gets approved, i'm definitely going to choose the latter. it's not as if i really desire to go to the cayman islands. besides, there's always next year. and with the money, i could also go to any of the nearer asian countries, which i haven't visited yet. since i promised richard the trip, i guess i'll just treat him to hong kong and check out the new disney land.

other reasons why i want the cash:
- i'll finally have savings (achievement ito!!!)
- to shop in new york (hehehe!)
- to shop here in manila (bwahaha!)
- tuition fee for graduate school (i miss studying....)
- give some to my mom and bro (i think it's about time to stop being selfish)

daba! daba! tama decision ko, if evah. and it's firm na talaga. i really hope that the proposal will be approved. although, of course, either way is a win-win situation.
