Its a miracle I still remember my username and password for this blog account. It has been awhile, so maybe some updates are in order.
First off, I have been shipped out of the education beat and I am now covering the PNP. I was brought in to pinch hit around October when Luige left for the US. But lo and behold, in the next reshuffle last January, I was made to stay. The pace here is faster and it has been quite an effort just to keep up. The stress level has gone up but I am managing. I have to constantly remind myself to keep focused and keep with the pace. Although, truth to tell, I would have wanted a smaller beat, like the few stray beats in QC (DILG, COA, CHR) or the health beat because I think stories there have more impact than the “glorification” of the PNP generals. But don’t get me wrong, some of them are quite nice.
Before I left the education beat, my little boy Anton came into my life. To be honest, I had always felt a little detached in the past when my male friends start going on about how wonderful their little tykes are. Now, I can totally relate, especially the part when they say “naalis pagod ko pagnakikita ko baby ko” and “nagmamadali nga ako pauwi para makita ko si Junior.”
Our childbirth story is enough to fill one blog entry. I hope to accomplish this when I have more time to give it more justice.
Moving on, lately, the office has thankfully come to its senses and issued us the new Macbooks. We managed to convince them that if they didn’t want viruses prowling around our office system, they should get us the Macs. I must say that its been a blast using these things. In terms of user-friendliness and “eyecandy-ness” nothing beats a Mac.
Just a few days after I got the Mac, I was able to score a free Nokia E61 from my network’s retention program. Despite the lack of a camera, this phone is very useful. It has wifi and surfing the Net is effortless and amazing. I was aiming for the Treo, since I think it has a better build than the fragile Nokias. But the Treos dont have wifi as of yet. I’ve already replaced the stock memory card for a 1 gig card for larger storage room. Truly, this is what our computers have become.
So now, I can safely safe, without a shadow of a doubt, my life is complete. Except for my tiresome beat. haha
