Yup, I booked my family at the St. Tropez Room at the Discovery Country Suites sans my Mom who is currently in the US to be with my ailing uncle. I always pass Discovery Country Suites whenever I go to some destination in Tagaytay and since I am now able to save up some money, decided to book a weekend for a change of scenery, as well as a birthday gift in part for my Dad. Its also Anton's first out of town trip.
But first, to address Bunny’s tag:
10 things that recently made me happy/ grateful:
1) Very courteous and friendly staff of Discovery Country Suites Tagaytay
2) Getting my laptop back from the shop (finally!)
3) Getting my Smart Bro Broadband from Rockwell which allows me to surf the net anywhere, anytime. (Don’t we just love to open our laptops and connect to the internet pronto)
4) Anton is a happy, healthy and good looking baby. A waitress remarked to me once that he will break a lot of hearts someday.
5) That I have a Yaya (yaya Lisa) who cares for Anton as if he was her own son
6) Getting a couple of deals at work approved.
7) Borrowers who I had a hard time setting meetings with suddenly calling up requesting to meet.
8) My hair is starting to frame my face the way I want it to be.
9) My male OB-Gyne who tells me all sorts of quirky stories that make me laugh so hard.
10) Attaining a state of maturity where I have already accepted that certain things can never be.

Anyway, what are blogs for if not partly to diss out our angsts. For some time, I have been having problems working with my boss for the following reasons:
1) He has a tendency to dispense work commitments which he doesn’t keep.
Anyway, what are blogs for if not partly to diss out our angsts. For some time, I have been having problems working with my boss for the following reasons:
1) He has a tendency to dispense work commitments which he doesn’t keep.
2) I don’t know if its because he has no previous experience in handling account officers or its because of his young age (34), but he doesn’t give his people the opportunity to volunteer for additional work and instead continuously assigns projects outside of our main responsibilities to just one account officer who, on the other hand, complains of being loaded with work. (I don’t get it why she keeps accepting when she keeps complaining).
3) I take special care in writing concise call reports and memos to make sure I have the necessary information written down pat. I don’t know if its read hurriedly or that it wasn't understood and got lost in translation somehow, but they’d ask me a question which I have already advised and to have me email the same info again.
I am not in the habit of saying bad things about other people and would rather keep quiet if nothing pleasant will come out of it. I hate to say it but sometimes it seems I work with juvenile professionals.
Oh well, I just really need to take care of myself. It’s a lazy Tagaytay Sunday morning at Discovery. Will lap up the remaining few hours left of the tranquil ambiance before I haul my family back to Manila. Tomorrow’s another day.
