augh!!!! super busy day... woke up at 6am, worked...left the house at 8am (best part of the morning coz i picked up my baby)... had breakfast by my lonesome at podium...

after that, it was all meetings and work. 945am, meeting with client (call her GLOBAL LADY or GL). 10am, meeting with venue idiots (STUPID General MAnager included).... meeting with GL after... rushed to Ortigas CEnter from EAstwood to meet a friend/client about a certain event... (no lunch... he was kind enough to share his baon with me, though... ) rushed to the bank, rushed to eastwood, then to makati... another meeting... brought GL back to Eastwood and picked up my Baby at Ortigas after.... day didn't end there... after an hour or so of rest, had to rush back to eastwood to install tarpaulin... day ended near 1am...

Let me talk about GL for the mean time... she's a very strong-willed woman who's been keeping my business alive by keeping me busy with projects. She's very easy to talk to, and she's very easy to bill. In a way, she's like my adoptive mother in the business... she likes how I work, she likes my creativity (whatever little there is), most importantly, she likes me. HAHAHAHAHA. Kidding. I believe we share the same outlook on business... and i'm learning a lot from her

She's really cool. Very supportive. After installation, there was clean up. I was sweeping the floor when they told us that they'd just clean up the next day, but not without saying "if it was not for Alvin, we won't volunteer to let you leave the mess and leavev the clean up to us" or something to that effect... man... i felt embarrassed...

anyway, Dihiya's still running a fever... praying he gets well the fastest possible time... Doogie so quiet today...

Anyway... the Samantha-Mumba-lookalike-FO asked about the Queen Daughter... why he doesn't see him, her, it... whatever,... anymore... and i just say, i don't know...

oh well... tired tired tired.... blogging is therapeutic... i'll go to GL's place to get a body relaxation treatment... c'est la vie!

horrid experiences the past few days...

last saturday, we went out for a few drinks... went to a place called Side Bar in El Pueblo. I ordered a Long island iced tea... ingredients are supposed to be
"1 part Vodka, 1 part Tequila, 1 part Rum, 1 part Gin, 1 part Triple sec, 1 1/2 part Sour mix and 1 splash Coca-Cola" THey served me a Rum Coke... i complained, but they denied accountability... i ordered another drink, instead... and it came out wrong also... to top it all off, the waiter was cockier than hell... didn't bother to complain... didn't want to ruin an otherwise happy evening.

sunday... saw a movie in Greenbelt 3... reserved seats via SURESEATS... stupid people at ticketing gave out our tickets... we had to sit further up the aisle... when i talked to the manager about it, she was defensive and even insisted that I should've been there 45 minutes early to claim my seats. AS IF! The reason why i made reservations was to make sure I had seats... I might as well have purchased tickets in line if i were to be in the area 45 minutes early. Anyway, I remember her name... it was Charry... at first she blamed a computer glitch, then she blamed me, then she blamed sureseats... she'll have her day, somehow...

today, tarpaulin for client didn't come up... managed to do so many different things... had a verbal tussle with an STUPID, and I repeat STUPID General Manager who was basically stupid and useless... i don't know how he got to where he is with his intellect and conduct. I was asking him who he reports to, and he took it as a threat. I never threaten anyone... if ever i wanted to threaten him, i'd have told him directly.

anyway... had dinner with my Baby... cuddled a little while watching television... sometimes i feel i'm dragging him down... that he'd do so much better without me... but i do love him... and he loves me... so, in the end, i'm happy...

spent a few minutes with Dihiya and HSTN... eerie how i can still read Dihiya's thoughts...

long long long day tomorrow... wish me luck.
