CHRISTMAS BREAAAAAAAAAAAK!

I waited for a long while to at least enjoy a mere whole week of HOLIDAYS!

Last year, since I was still new at work, I was not able to avail of a long vacation leave that COERCED me to come to work the day after Christmas day and the day after NEW YEAR’S. It was like hell, I know, but practicality swept away all my lazy thoughts and all the evil that made me feel the lethargy which could have ended my career. Bwahaha!

Now, now… I am 5 days away from my dream, not just one, but two-week vacation! My FURLOUGH begins on DEC 22 ‘07 til JAN 6 ’08! That’s 16 days! 16 days! YAHOO! I was supposed to consider a new job during the start of DECEMBER since the company I applied for was in a haste in hiring new guys. I just felt a strong need to enjoy a short break so I begged for an extension. Plus, I have never experienced a REAL break since I started working.

I will dig on the pile of DVDs I purchased for THE HOLIDAYS. :D Also, I will start shopping for Xmas Gifts since I have not purchased anything yet, I am still contemplating if I will start going to the GYM as a resolution. Haha. My friends and I will hop on every cinema come filmfest week.

When I go back to work on January, everything will be fresh and new. I’ve never been so excited for the Holidays like this. :)

Side Story:

The company party was held last week, Dec 12th at mag:net café in Bonifacio High Street. I always knew that I’m lucky in raffles, competitions and alike. That however big a company is, I would still grab one of the grand giveaways, if not the major prize at stake!

This party wasn’t so different; I was able to get a BRAND AWARD as voted for by my colleagues. Thanks to them. However, I was really looking forward to having a HOTEL ACCOMMODATION Gift Certificate more than anything else, that night!!!

DANG.

I went home empty-handed. I left the vicinity with not even a body scrub at hand. Hence, the lull.
