man up!

i know i'm supposed to "man up" (and i have, mind you) but i just can't take it anymore. i just hit SEND on my email to my boss, asking for a re-assignment back to manila. paksheeeeeeeet!

sorry for the late post

hi.

okay, so here's my story.

got pulled out from our project in makati and was flown here in danao, cebu last wednesday night. set-up our now very complete site office with construction manager josef (lolo). today we have started working 7/24 (yes, it's REALLY 7/24), and for now i am on the nightshift. from our resort (www.elsalvadorresort.com) in danao, we travel about 10 minutes to get to the foot of the mountain, 35 minutes to get into the middle of nowhere, and a 15-minute hike up the first borehole.

this tough and delicate project is the first of its kind in the whole company and also in our offices worldwide (www.bauer.de). every day we are faced with major and minor troubles, try to come up with possible solutions, LEARN, and hope for the best. everything can be so frustrating, but my only consolation is that, after this project (whether it goes well or not), i will be one of the privileged few engineers to have handled this kind of work. nobody really knows how to work this and by that, i am afraid to NOT deliver. surprisingly, i'm glad to have talked to stefan (one of our german PM's) last night when we went out (hurrah! i saw lights and the city!) for dinner and ottinger (wheat beer, see photos). he made me feel a bit secure. true. i shouldn't worry too much. :) oh, we saw christopher de leon. the waitresses ogled over him. too bad christopher de leon didn't see rac roldan ;)

for now, i'm saying homesickness sucks. it kills. the working conditions are relatively good. it's just that when i miss people, that gets me really down. but i'll get used to it. i think i already am. bit by bit :) can't really do much aside from work and sleep (4 hours is heaven!). hopefully in the future i could tour cebu. but for now it's impossible. the resort is very nice but i don't have the luxury of time to explore and maximize it's amenities. thank god for sun cellular and internet. these are the 2 things that keep me sane here.

let the pictures (which i will be uploading from time to time) do the talking. the photos might appear that everything is nice and easy and fun but it's otherwise. oh well. fun is okay. i'm learning to lurve it, though. that's what matters.

anyhoo, please take note of my personal mobile numbers:
0906-3402326 (globe)
09227834526 (sun)
09082368391 (smart)

only smart has signal up the mountains. good enough for texting.

ciao!

danao, danao

and so here i am at naia 3's lounge.

just downed gonuts donuts' doubly-priced sweets and beverages while waiting for boarding time. i'm riding cebu pacific to mactan. will get picked up by my construction manager on site, josef.

didn't quite finish trevi with JPC. we had good times there. everybody worked really well on the project and hence, deserves a beneficial bonus.

will be staying at ---

oops! there goes my boarding call.

voila! i'm here na sa El Salvador Resort. very anxious about my role here. pero okay lang. try everything once. give this a chance. i miss everybody already. pero kelangan kumayod. :) besides, para rin sa akin ito.

lots to say, too tired to even attempt it.

Currently listening to:
the resort's MYMP playlist. shetness. bakit ganito ang epekto ng mga kanta sa akin these days? :(

nasa bundok

ako po ay papunta na sa danao, cebu. sa isang bundok. you'll be hearing from me.

***Disclaimer: This is one emo shit, not really for anybody nor anything in particular. Thank you.

one just simply drifts away.
a dam of emotions and a whole lot of words are sometimes better left unknown.
you just have to find your footing once more and you make the most out of what you have.
you gave it your all and that's what matters.

i gave it my all, i'm done and my future is what matters.

happiness truly is a choice.
