This is it. One more day and I will be successfully completing a week of no-absence-no-tardy streak. This is new for me since I've never achieved this yet throughout my stay here in this company. Haha. Pathetic.   Some of you might say that I'm just overreacting, but you should know, I'm one of the most unpunctual people you'll ever meet. So leave me be as I call this some sort of an achievement. 

Can't say it is easy though. At some point it is arduous. There are times that I have to jog from our apartment to where I'm supposed to ride a jeepney, then walk briskly from Jollibee in Acacia Lane to where I'm supposed to ride an FX, and from there, I hope against all odds that every traffic light I pass by is green and that the driver is aware that his vehicle can go faster. (Lest he doesn't know how to step on his gas pedal harder. ) Then from the point where I get off, I run toward our office building (simultaneously rummaging through my bag for my badge), and then, at that moment, I say a wish under my breath that when I get to the lobby I'm just in time to alight an elevator that is not going to stop at every damn floor on the upper rise.

It's more than physically arduous really. It's mind-boggling!  Hehehe!

One more day and I'll be passing this test of discipline I've put myself into. Oh yeah. I'm supposed to work tomorrow (which is a Saturday). Don't even get me started on how I despise that company policy.  

In case they're lurking again -- *Peace* sa mga boss ko! Hehe! Try ko po pumasok bukas. Hahaha! 

PS: To my good friend, MELISSA, who I miss and who doesn't seem to have plans in going back home -- zhu ni sheng ri kuai le! Hahaha! All those mandarin lessons paid off! Tnx sa translation!
Happy Birthday! 

{EDIT}  01.28.06- I'm here at work, and I wasn't late! Yahooo!! Now, you guys can congratulate me! Nyehehe!  {/EDIT}
