the opera house

oh yah, i've been here in sydney for more than 2 years now and you'd think by now, i should be sick and tired of the opera house...

on the contrary...

it just never fails to amaze me... indeed the great mind behind it must be very proud!

no doubt, every tourist that comes to sydney will for sure have a photo with the opera, at least one!!! (obviously, i had more than 1, more than 2, more than 3, more than n....)

and how lucky are the tourists this month to see it in a different light...

i was seriously amazed by the brilliant mind behind those magnificent lights...

curious of what im referring to... go and check out photos in my fb!

roundtable

as expected

it was very political...

flashing red man

for a change, i have been an early bird in the office lately...

then yesterday, i was walking by myself, i saw the green man... then after few seconds he turned to a flashing red man, that was so quick, oh no!!! instinct told me to run and cross... so i did!

then a thought rushed on my head: buti na lang walang penalty ang beating the flashing red man!

silly but funny enough to start my day...

haha...

the past two weeks have been hectic weeks - not the ideal weeks i would wish for... not complaining though, part un ng job ko... i realised na me mali sa client portfolio ko, cos they all tend to happen in the same week, mmm... i have to hop from the city, to mascot, to north ryde... and have to deal with bosses of all sorts... im currently working with one in particular, na sobrang into my nerves na cya... pero towards the end of the week.... i have learned to manage her... madali lang pala, kontra kontrahin mo lang, at wag gawin lahat ng pinapagawa nya, in short tigas ulo ghie (pero reasonable naman i swear!) - nung nag debrief kami, sinabi ko sa kanya: "xxx - i guess you also need to balance your expectations between audit quality and efficiency" i said it in a non-offensive way, tapos inexplain ko ng mabuti... kainis kc, andami pinapagawa na d naman necessary, and worse, ambagal magdecision!... nagpareview ako ng ultra comprehensive SRM na isasubmit to group... sabi nya, leave it with her, sabi ko, lets sit down and discuss, kc otherwise, one week na mabubulok un sa kanya (as per what i hear from others which ive confirmed during our interim reporting)... while discussing, me tinatanong cya about an issue na ginawan ko na ng conclusion na previously pinag agreehan na namin (you know, the type of issues na you have to conclude as ok though not perfectly ok!), ay, ang drama nya, we need to revisit this and make sure we are happy blah.... ay, uminit ang ulo ko! sabi ko "xxx, we have already discussed this so many times and have already spent hours talking about this, what is there to discuss further" - ay, gaga ka ghie, rude, though calmado pagkakasabi ko, the meaning was so rude... pero sorry lord, naasar kc ako... tapos tatanungin ka ng how is our WIP, why is the team spending so much hours? duh, duh, grrrr!! ah, pero in fairness, effective ang kagagahan ko, i had her signature before she walked out the room (yahoo!!!! i win!!! nyehehehe...) happy happy!...

well well well... though weekdays can be hectic, weekends are always great!!! as i write this blog, i am sitting in a balcony of a very nice apartment here in hunter valley... its very relaxing, its very green... i love it! yesterday, we went wine tasting... we went to about 4... and today will be another day to explore the valley... im sure it will be fun!!!

what a rip off!!!

sobrang bad trip! got a parking ticket!!! nagpunta kami ke shawee sa north sydney to get some stuff... on our way back, ruby anna noticed a ticket on my wiper... and un na nga, parking ticket!!! what???!!!

Offence: Disobey no stopping sign

I swear, pinili ko ung parking spot na un cos its clear and before we left the car, i doubled checked... how stupid can i be na hindi ko nakita na me "no stopping" sign... i really cant believe up to now... alam ko naman ang itsura ng mga no stopping/no parking signs... bat d ko to nakita??? is it because mejo madilim, but still, i double checked na ok to park and that there were no signs whatsoever!!!... its plain stupidity na nakakairita sobra... hay ghie!!!

Sabi sa ticket: Either pay the penalty or contest in court! My gulay...

Ok fine, things happen for reasons... isipin ko na lang na lucky pa din ako, at least its just a parking ticket and not anything else... i guess il say love pa din ako ni lord...

I guess i clearly learned a lesson tonight...
