The long wait is over. The much awaited wedding of the Business Center finally has come. I am a witness of this most anticipated yet became controversial wedding I have attended so far. Lack in catholic church requirement made delay in the wedding ceremony. It took 2 hours to settle the problem. The scheduled 4pm mass became 6pm which brings tension to the whole tent.

 When the priest came back to the venue, we already started the wedding ceremony. By the way, I was asked by the couple to read the Prayer of the Faithful. I am happy with it but at the same time nervous for a public speaking.

We spent overnight at the villa rented by the couple. We eat, drink, talk, ang laugh a lot. We go to bed at 3am and wake up at 7am.

At last, the bride invited us to attend to the Big Day on February 11. On our lunch out at Slice & Dice, SM City Pampanga , the bride ask me and Jo-anne to witness their exchange of vows. She also disclosed details about their wedding and how they decided to go through it nowadays. She also confessed that she is now 4 months pregnant.

Books and reviewers were ready…am I ready?

Review schedule was prepared…can I make it?

90 days to go…i must prepare myself!

Its been a year and two months of working yet i just have less than a hundred thousand in my savings. I don’t even reached my 2011 goal to have 100, 000 record on my passbook. Yes, i bought something for myself but just little and less expensive items. The most expensive was my Christmas gift for myself, which is my wrist watch. I’ve traveled some places but not that far to cost me big one.

We have plan to renovate our house with just 110, 000 budget acquired from the salary loan applied by my sister. But as we asked for assessment, our house renovation can cost us 800, 000 pesos. My savings which I am planning to invest in a small business is now at stake to add to the budget for the renovation and yet, not enough to have our dream house. More than the dream house, our house  badly need to be fix before rainy season come. Its roof badly need a replacement.

After this frustration of mine, good news (I’m not sure if it is good for me) say hello to me as I logged into my facebook account. My cousin bought a secondhand car. I’m happy for him, but not for myself.

I went to the office early for me to finish my reports on time and able to submit them today. But because we still sharing on two PC, someone interrupted my report writing. It took me until 11am before I was able to use the computer. From RD, Jo-anne arrived and ask me to go up in our new office and do our reports there. Everyone were surprised  that we were already using the new office, the new PC.

I accomplished my 3 accounts with no sweat, but the 4th one really sucks. Huge collateral, preferred client, multi-million appraisal value, running TAT, my senior…these bring me overwhelming pressure. I hate this feeling.

I scheduled myself to be in the office this day for our dinner date with our officemates soon to be wedded husband and wife. I even wear red shirt to fit the ambiance and the celebration. I am a big fan of this relationship, I must admit. Sad to say, we were informed about the date but not about its cancellation. We even go home late as we finish our reports and still wait for them to ask us to go with them…”hayyy”.

Mario asked me and the other two to come with him in Cabanatuan City. He asked me to finished my pending reports and come early to the office, which I did. For the first time, I’m the first one to arrive in the office. Only Manong Tolits was there. I beat the early birds, Ma’am Avel and Boss Bert. And I submitted the reports as before we go to Cabanatuan City.

After doing several accounts, we had lunch at Rustica, near BPI Maharlika Branch.

It was our first time to eat in that restaurant. At first we’re hesitant that we can’t afford the food but we’re surprised when the bill amounted Php 890 for the corn soup, half honey fried chicken, chicharon bulaklak, shrimp and plain rice.

After we accomplished the 12 accounts, we proceed to La Parilla to check-in. We got the same room that we occupied last October 2010, not to mention that it was our second time there in La Parilla. We had rest for a while, laid down in bed, same position, same bed for the three of us. At 6pm we go out for dinner at Robinsons. We bought food and drink and shorts for me and Mario. I got Supreme Bowl Kung Pao + mushroom soup for dinner. And then come back to the hotel to rest.

I started my secong day in Cabanatuan City at 7am. But we don’t wake up yet and remain laying down our beds. We checked-out at 10.30am and surprise that our free meal is already not available. We are not informed that breakfast is served only until 9am. But the front desk attendant ask Pablo’s to serve still our breakfast.

After having our breakfast we proceed to BPI Melencio Branch. Sir Arnold entertained us well. He even gave us coffee and biscuits to eat. After some chats, we come back to Pampanga.

After my vacation, I saw again my office, my colleagues, my bosses and my enemies. New accounts were given, follow-ups arouses, and deferred accounts came back on my desk. Good thing no one ask about my health check-ups. About an hour or two, the one who ruined my vacation approached me. Same old story was told. I hate that account. I don’t want it to be processed. I know it will give me headaches as it progresses.

Good news was brought to my concern. About the wedding of the two of my colleagues. We will have a dinner date on friday for their most awaited announcement. Their relationship was very mysterious..they kept it secret to many for a long time. They don”t even show affection when they see each other at the office. I idolize this couple.

I am about to go home, when suddenly she ask me to come with them for a dinner. I told myself that time, “look who’s asking me for a dinner”. FYI we’re not friends, nor text-mates, FB friends, twitter followers. She don’t even nod at me when we cross ways. But i said “yes”. We went for a dinner with her group. Eat your choice, buy with your own, that’s how that dinner goes. As we faces each other on the table, stories are told, jokes are broken,and issues revealed. I am smiling, i am laughing but i am not happy.
