the week that was

this past week has been really packed.  i haven’t stopped working since monday.  i brought my office laptop at home just so i could work over the weekend.  i had to talk to the IT person before i left work last friday so that i would know how to launch the vp nortel thingy.  i was able to finish a bit of work yesterday but there’s still a lot more to be done tomorrow.

today is sunday and i am working on my OB midterms.  since i sarted workng in makati, i try to finish all school stuff over the weekend because i’m just too tired to study or write papers after work.  travel from my house to makati is just too tiring.  i have to ride a jeep, then fx, then the dreadful mrt, then jeep again and then walk a bit before i finally reach the office.  that’s about 53 pesos one way.  i’m not the type of person who takes the cab because i think it is sayang.

i finally got the chance to try pepper lunch.  they have a branch in pacific star which is near our office.  i ordered pork pepper steak which was delicious. the teriyaki sauce adds so much flavor into the dish and it’s a good thing that it’s refillable.  i think what’s exciting about pepper lunch dishes is that it cooks before your eyes.  you get the feel of cooking the food yourself without all the fuss.  but i think it is quite expensive.  not the kind of lunch you would want to eat everyday, only on fridays or when you feel bad and you want to treat yourself.

this coming week would probably still be busy like the past week.  i still haven’t twatched the dvd i borrowed from my officemate.  it’s the secret of bees which is supposed be quite melodramatic.  hopefully after this week, i’ll get to watch it and write about it.

by the way, we now have wi-fi connection at home!  yey!   it cost me 2,000 pesos to get the d-link gadget.  we were supposed to buy the cd-r king router (if that is what it’s called) but according to the expert, d-link is the better option.  so for those who want to have dsl connection and would like to have wi-fi at home, i highly recommend you get d-link, affordable and yet dependable compared to other brands.
