93 - Since 1971


I'm trying to save up. Specially that I am earning less than my previous job. Another reason is so I can have enough for my planned trips this year. Yes. I definitely have plans in place.

But with the impromptu trips to Manila, they're setting me back a bit. I do hope there's an actual wedding we're going to come February.

Despite my current frugal schemes...although honestly I'm not the type to spend excessively nor the type to spend without thought; I do take the time for small celebrations or moments where I indulge as a gift to myself. Specially when I've had a bad day or I'm having an extremely good day.

Usually I simply buy myself a frappuccino, a slice of cake or bowl of ice cream. Small personal celebrations.

Working in IT Park however is a contest of wills. There are too many shops and establishments you want to try. Specially during payday. I try not to over indulge. Whatever saving scheme I have going on would be on a negative state should I allow myself to be tempted.

I like going to lunch at the small eatery outside IT Park, just right across TESDA. Aside from being cheap, the food's delicious and I have more options than eating at the pantry or at a fast food branch.

And getting instant coffee instead of a frappe each day is another thing.

I think I ought to bring a coffee mug though. But would really like to have an actual pedestal so I can bring one to the office and have an actual storage for safe keeping aside from avoiding clutter on my desk.

Here's to hoping and anticipating our "go-live" date with our respective accounts. I'm not really too enthusiastic with being in a morning shift. Should I be, I might request 6 am instead of the standard 9 am shift. Traffic is a damn killer.

But whatever comes, gambatte kudasai minna-san!!!
