finally, some time to write.  the last week and a half have been very, very busy to say the least.  my team was tasked to be the sponsor for our department's townhall meeting which was held earlier today with two sessions.  preparations were really stressful and took it's toll on my health with me fighting two weeks of colds and a recent rise in coughing incidents.  i feared the worst yesterday when the coughing was at it's peak because the last time i had that bad of a case was when i lost my voice.  and being the host of the townhall meeting, that is something to be very wary about.  good thing my throat held it's own and everything went smoothly.  i've been receiving kudos and congratulations all around for a successful townhall event.  the downside of it is, that i had to shoulder the expenses first before being reimbursed.  so with the onset of the weekend, i'm more than 5k short of my budget which will be credited back to my salary by next week… hopefully.  so definitely, i'll be stuck at home this weekend for the first time in weeks.  those of you kind enough, well, you can drop by my place.  just bring the booze, ok?  😀

but enough of that, since all of it is behind me.  there were also things that happened during the past week and a half that were… eventful.  since i'll be spending more time at home this weekend, i'll be writing the most recent one by tomorrow.  here's a hint:  be ready for a long read on my next entry.  i'm guessing tomorrow's entry will be one of the most emotional ones i'll ever put down on my blog.  now that the distraction that is the townhall is out of it's way, i'm starting to let that event sink into me further down.  for the meantime, i'll just take the rest of the day relaxing my mind and concentrate on writing tomorrow.  that should be a good emotional exercise.

i apologize for not being updated, but i'm back.  thanks for those who took time to send me messages asking how i am since i was away from the blogging world as of late.  i appreciate your concern(s) very much.  makes me realize that there are still people who are good to me.  i wish you success tenfold.  until tomorrow, enjoy the rest of the day!
