I almost thought I wouldn't be able to write my Sunday post. I usually start writing every Saturday night. I was unfortunately stricken by intense headache and dizziness after a client meeting. I decided to sleep and rest early. Come Sunday, I spent the entire day loading items in my eBay account. ;) Despite the experience in the previous post, I was able to successfully sell some of my clothes and bag. Hence, I was encouraged to sell more. Pardon the shameless plug, you might be interested to view my items. ;) You can visit my eBay store through the link in my side bar.

One of the highlights of the past week is my article feature from Papemelroti. A few weeks ago, I won their leather canvas set giveaway. Papemelroti surprised me again when my little "sentimental fool" story :) was featured.Thanks again Papemelroti!

My week started with an out of town work. I attended the team building activity of the little committee headed by the Big Boss. It was held in Camp Allen Training and Development Center in Sta. Cruz, Laguna. It was quite far from Manila. We have to battle the traffic and travel time. The long wait was worth it because the place was so quiet and relaxing. It helped that we were the only clients last week so we were the priority of their most accommodating employees.

 Let me share a few photos from the beautiful and relaxing Camp Allen Center.

We were greeted by the towering Royal Palm Trees.

 Our home away from the city

 Yes to log cabins!

The view as soon I as move out of our room. It reminds me of the houses in the historical Korean drama series I've been watching. Haha 

Open spaces and greenery

 The site is surrounded by Rambutan trees

About to ripen, I almost wanted to take these home

Looks inviting but everyone enjoyed the team building activities so no one dared to swim

I thought they were grapes, but according to my colleague, these are not edible

The first day of our team building activity ended with this 

Heehee the rare booze ;)

Let me end this post with this quote 

Have a great week ahead!

I kept mentioning about the documentation project I've been working. I promised in my past Sunday post that it would be the last time I will write about it. Please forgive me this time. The saga continues this week. Haha 

I was fully aware of our Wednesday deadline. In fact, we were thankful about it. The deadline was supposedly Friday. It was moved to Monday and turned out on Wednesday. It was a huge relief for me and the Big Boss. We thought that everything will turn out fine last week. We will meet our consultant on Monday. We will revise the report on Tuesday. We will be printing several copies on Wednesday morning. When afternoon comes, the Boss will drive us to Makati for the submission. Surprise of surprises, we underestimated everything.

The consultant almost killed us. The paper was screaming with revisions. The Boss and I agreed to divide the work. Even though there are two of us working together, the entire day was not enough. We both rendered extra hours of working. In my case, I even took home the job. It was my first attempt to become awake and working for 24 hours. When I reported for work the next day, the printing and binding tasks were exhausting. As much as we would like to outsource the job, we were worried about the confidentiality of the information contained in the report. We skipped our breaks. I was standing and walking the entire time. I begged for printers from other offices. My right abdomen suddenly felt some stabbing pains because I haven't had my much needed kidney break for an entire day. Despite the sacrifices, worries, pressure and fear of not making it, we were able to submit all requirements. Hallelujiah! 

This photo perfectly captured everything about my life last week.

LOL Because I was too occupied beating the deadline, I literally ignored everyone who's trying to get on my way. Sorry friends if I've been too snobbish last week.

And as expected, I failed to capture anything interesting for this Sunday post. The past week has been filled with these

 Crunch time! Kalat here there and everywhere ;)

 I learned how to operate the binding machine this week ;)

Two printers attached to my tiny laptop :) If only my laptop has more USB ports, I would have borrowed more printers from other offices. 

It was the roughest and most exhausting week I had in my entire working life. Along the way however, there are still a few beautiful things that came.  

Magnum Gold - Magnum didn't appeal much to me. The Boss treated everyone with the newest flavor before going home. It was the best! I would definitely buy one ... when the next payday comes. ;) I'm quite broke these days.  

Aside from the Magnum, the Big Boss has been feeding us with calories, sugar and carbs. We always have J.Co. doughnuts every morning. We have pizza in the afternoon. After delivering the documents to the accreditors, he even treated us for a great recovery lunch. Too bad, I never had the energy to take photos.

The second bag arrived in my Auntie A's house :) -  I had a great online shopping experience with DSW! I had minor credit card and shipping address issues that were excellently resolved by their online support representatives. I had the bag shipped to a US address and paid using a locally issued credit card. I will blog about the experience soon. :)

Papemelroti is love! - In the middle of the week, I was able to beat the mall's closing time. I was able to claim my prize from Papemelroti's giveaway. Thank you Papemelroti!

It was payday last Friday and to relieve myself from all those stress, I treated myself to this

Choose to Love Frame from Papemelroti

This decorative wall piece costs Php 350 and I am planning to purchase the two other designs for my room. Aside from purchasing this colorful and relaxing home piece, my happiness overflowed because I was able to receive this...

Papemelroti Loyalty Card

Papemelroti Loyalty Card

I am now a loyalty card holder of Papemelroti! Yehey! I have gained one reason to complete my Papemelroti wall pieces.

Customers who want to have this card should have accumulated receipts worth Php 5,000 from any Papemelroti stores.

I am a loyal patron of Papemelroti ever since High School. I love their notebooks, notepads, decorative boxes and wall decors. I love all their products and even the arrangement of their shops. In fact, I could stay and even work for their shop in a day, if given really the chance.

Sorry, I just can't resist shopping and posting my purchases from Papemelroti

Tic Tac Toe from Papemelroti

Thanks Papemelroti!
