Fresh from last week's blog break

Today, I'm back in the office after a 3-day seminar last week. Yep, I was kinda in a blog break. Anyway, here's what happened to me last week:

Wednesday: First day of seminar... Met people from the other islands of the Philippines. The topic is informative and the speaker is ok. Every 2 hours, they were kinda serving food (morning snack, lunch, and afternoon snack). At least I saved on food expenses. We were dismissed early, at around 4pm because the speaker understands that some are tired from their trip to Manila.

Thursday: Second day, since the seminar starts at 9am, I woke up later than usual. Same thing, same speaker, different food. Dismissed at 4pm again. I was excited because Th is Judo Day. Hurray!!!

It's Ria's birthday on May 28 so we had a post celebration arranged. I bought the cake. We opted for the Red Velvet of Red Ribbon since none of us had tasted it before. I asked them to write HAPPY BIRTHDAY RIA on top of the cake. After making tambay for 1.5 hours while reading my interesting book, Irma (my officemate) finally arrived and we made our way to the dojo.

The training started late... 7:30pm. There were 2 additional peeps from UE. The usuals... we were thrown (blag!) and we learned the moving throw thingie... We started our mini party at around 10pm. Irma brought pansit and pichi-pichi... I opened the cake so we could light the candle, sing and let Ria blow her candle but to my surprise, the cake got partially destroyed. huhuhu.... NADAGANAN YUNG ISANG SIDE!!! *sigh* Anyway, Irma said that it's ok.

The day ended happily as everyone was delighted with the food and Ria liked the bag (she told us that she really wanted one). Tambay sa 7-11 and then I ended up arriving at home ng 1am. hehehhe....

Friday: Last day of training. We had a different speaker. Sad because she's not as good as the first. Ended the day 3:30pm. I went to MOA right away. It's still early and I have to wait for 3.5 hours til my bear arrives. After surfing for 1.5 hours, I suddenly felt the boredom of having to wait for 2 more hours. This prompted me to entertain the crazy idea of having a haircut. I looked for a Bench Fix Salon -- I really dunno if they have one at MOA but I wasn't able to find it. Then I came across David's Salon -- I've never been on one EVER!!! so I decided to give it a try. The price for a haircut is more than what I usually have on F Salon. They assigned me to a senior stylist named Eleine. She's good actually. I liked her short hair... stylish and nice. I told her that I want to have the same hair as hers but she told me to think about it a hundred times because short hair is hard to maintain and to think that it will be a major chop from my long hair. And so I opted for my usual request -- 3 inches trim and then some layering. Ok naman. Dapat magpapafacial din ako kaya lang my bear texted me that he's already on board the MRT. Ayun....

Saturday: Yaya ako to my pamangkin... such a darling but very tiring.

I'm hungry already. Good thing one of the bosses here bought lunch for all of us.
Update: I uploaded some pics.
