1) New work location
We've been going to work at the Port Area in Manila for almost 2 months now! We're on-site for a project, and our clients didn't believe us when we said that WE DIDN'T NEED TO BE THERE.
2) New temporary residence
As a result of #1, during weekdays, I'm staying at our "staffhouse". It's an OLD condominium unit owned by the president of our company and, from what I heard, the company is renting it from him. Smart guy.
3) Getting used to the metro
Although the commute from our staffhouse to work is quite easy (20-minute LRT2 + 20-minute jeepney ride), I'm still not used to the city atmosphere: the vehicle fart on the streets, the slight consolation of air-conditioned establishments to pass through which is still far from fresh and, most notable of all, the (unforgivable!) stench of the air at the Port Area!
I really miss the (relatively) fresh air in Los Baños.
Aside from that, I'm getting more and more familiar with Makati. =) I've been enjoying more dates with Kei!
4) Trying to get into the metro
I've already mentioned before that I don't care anymore whether the higher-ups at work read my blog.
Since we've moved to Manila, I've become more active in looking for a job near Makati. The only thing our office had that kept me from moving to Makati was that it was located in Laguna -- and they've taken that away! We were promised that we would be on-site in Manila for only around 2 months. If that was the case, then why the heck did they pull-out all our stuff in our Laguna office and bring it to our main office in Pasay?!

Waaa! Sabi nga ni Palowi nasa Makati ka na pala.
Maybe you could join us in one of those Catan thingies during the weekend. :P
niks! gusto mo apply dito samin? I think our java group is catering to a US client (which in my opinion is a good thing) and andun yung isang taga LB na cmsci teacher dati (forgot his name, Erwin ata...)
and...minor details, pero worthy sabihin: they're in the new office, so everything is shiny... ;)
and hey, naalala ko lang*, this is a filipino company.
(*na factor sayo to dati, di ko lang sure now...)
hey, i don't mind losing the possibility of you being my officemate if that means you'll get to join that kick-ass company we talked about. coolness!
nice chat --with-kei --real-world-chat last night. :) it's been a while...
@mark: yeah, really nice chat. Nikki had a blast (mind you, he needed that). Thanks! =)

@Kei, that's good to hear.
Obligatory "I'll just send the bill later." joke follows... :p
