there's this place that one goes to at the end of a stressful day from work. to have a few drinks, chat with friends, or just have a quiet meal or coffee, read a book or reminisce on your own. i'd like to have that. i am bound to look for one. i need some middle ground between work and home. a place i can spend time to relax somehow. 

anyway, so many things have been happening lately on the work front. organizational changes made me report to a cluster head who is based in Malaysia. my local boss needed to focus on a different business unit so had to step up on local responsibilities. audit season is here so lots of meetings and work on that. 

and then yesterday, our Region HR called me for a short confidential meeting. wondering what it was abt, apparently the position i have been eyeing since mid of this yr was still vacant and they are considering me for the post. the issue why i wasn't that keen on applying for it was that it was SG based. i wasn't ready to leave my kids behind. but i was assured by our HR that they could do a workaround on it. so hope everything works out well.

imagine, all these things working in my favor. i must have done something good to deserve all these. God must have heard my silent pleas. what i have gone through since late last yr was an emotional rollercoaster ride. i have hardly recovered. i guess you really can't have it all. when you are unlucky in love, you are abundant in good career opportunities. so might as well bask in all the good luck coming my way.

....the secret sundowner spot...i will find soon.

i grew up near the beach, so anywhere near the sea would be my sundowner spot. *homesick*

Thinking about it I do have quite a few, well, when I was in Timog area, that would be either Starbucks in Morato, or since my workmates loved chickboy, I guess that would be it. I would be awesome if you got work in Tagaytay if I were to pick a place, lots of spots.

I've been meaning to find my secret sundowner spot, as well. Living in the metro isn't being helpful; either the places are too crowded or are to expensive to stay in for periods of hours. I wish I would find my secret sundowner spot asap.

this may sound creepy but I found my dad's grave my secret sundowner spot, though you're not allowed to have a few drinks there at least the perfect silence I needed was there.
