I will not take these things for granted

The office chorale suddenly reactivated itself and put me and the rest of the chorale in the limelight of the big boss' latest baby -- a motivational campaign that might fall short of his expectations. Good luck to him and to my rising credit card bill due to extra trips to the gas station just so I could drive from my branch (which is 5 mins away from my house) to Makati for an hour's practice thrice a week (this passion for music might wane if I don't get transpo allowance!); I doubt if the budget for a lavish dinner for the entire bank and Lani Misalucha's ate could break even with staff performance...whatever happened to simple commissions and job promotions?

Last month I threw a surprise party for my mom -- it was her first -- and it felt so adult-like for me to afford paying for dinner for 60 guests! I'm glad we were able to pull it off! Then, it was Dad's birthday which my ate and kuya took care of; and after 2 weeks it was my turn. I
spent half of my birthday at the salon having my hair rebonded; by the afternoon I was off to LTO to renew my license (which was great since the picture came out excellently with my salon-fresh hair hahaha), and an uneventful dinner at Metrowalk.

Last week was also a memorable one for a lot of my close friends -- one of us gave birth to a healthy little heartbreaker who will be my second godchild for the year, another fixed my pc but was crushed when his "exclusive date" for a year broke his heart, and my gorgeous heartbreaker best friend had a birthday blast sans a boyfriend. Oh, and another one had was on a high with a new crush until I broke the news that the guy she was crushing on was playing for the other team (sorry talaga! haay. NEXT)!

And by the way, the medical board results came out and "Antonio, Carlsen Balza" was on the list!!! I was beaming with pride when my officemates and friends congratulated me and called me doktora (hahaha feeling); I'll let you know the date of the party once it's final!
