My 500th post is on a leap year and about simple joys

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, people of the online world…this is my 500th post. I am seriously too tired to do some celebratory whatever, and I really planned to write this sometime else when I’m more clear-headed and not stressed out. I was supposed to write this one yesterday, but I was too strung out yesterday to write anything even of little substance.

Plus, it would be better to write today seeing as this day only comes once every four years, right?

To be honest, I’ve never been so stressed out in my job ever since I joined the company until now. It suddenly feels like we have so much workload and so many things to do outside work that it’s driving us crazy. Or at least, driving me crazy, but only because I’m neurotic like that. :P Hah. Sometimes I wonder if I took up too many responsibilities, if I have bitten off more than I can chew. Or if I just simply lack time because I’m on midshift and all the work comes in at midshift and all other activities just decided to come in this month too. Ack. I don’t know the reason, but two things for sure: February is the busiest month I’ve ever had, and I will definitely be resting after this. No extracurriculars, only the real work I have to do. I will devote my free time into rest & relaxation to practice work-life balance but in the cheapest way possible because I’m almost broke (which means no Nike golf…but then again I don’t play golf).

But February is just about to end. I still have tons of stuff to do today, but before I finally prepare for work, Joni tagged me to write down 10 simple joys, or 10 things that recently made me happy. I’m sure this would lift my spirits up somehow, and be ready to face the stress of today. Let’s see…

  1. Finishing one of our project team’s objectives for the quarter, and almost finishing this other one.
  2. Two consecutive dinners with IBM Club friends.
  3. Watching the footages of our account’s team building last December. Good times.
  4. Being able to pray more the past few days, especially the other day when I got hit by something God told me. Iyak tayo, dali.
  5. Meeting up with some college friends last weekend.
  6. Buying new clothes for a friend‘s upcoming wedding this Saturday. :)
  7. Receiving a commendation from a client.
  8. My brother who fetched me for the entire month of my midshift, despite our initial agreement of me going home by cab twice a week. Thanks Kuya. <3.
  9. Despite all the stress, the planning for our Barangay Hall. It’s stressful, yes, but I love being behind the scenes. :D
  10. Today is my last day of midshift! Wohoo!

I’m supposed to tag people…but I’m too lazy to start linking people up. So to anyone who wants to do this, feel free to do so. :)

I should get ready for work; I still need to buy a wedding gift for tomorrow. I need to do something unique today — this day comes once every four years, you know. :D
