From the looks of things in Jedi Council last night (or was it this morning?), the Mos Eisley Night is on! Sounds fun fun fun. :)

Because I suddenly had this sense of nationalism and I couldn't resist the offer, I signed up for a new domain name (free!) for this site at domains.ph. I might use the DotTK domain name for another website soon, so to the readers (and especially my affiliate blogs :) ) please do update your links to:

www.stroll-across-the-stars.ph

Kinda weird with all the dashes, but it has to be at least 18 characters , so.... :) Please just humor me. Heheh. Merci beaucoup, mes amies. :)

Hopefully he hasn't changed it yet, but I just loved Azrael's webcam clip on his blog. LOL. Go, Rain! :) Darth Ball seems to be really taking over you now..... :) Will Darth Ball dance the Spaghetti during the next Stormball performance? Will the Purplechicken have his revenge on the Darth Ball? Will the magic of the magic word work on the Purplechicken? What will happen on Saturday? :D The adventure continues.....

It's quite frustrating being in Wonderland. The folks are too weird, and who knows, one wrong move and I'll
most likely end up beheaded. There are times I regret ever seeing the white rabbit and following it down the hole. But hey! C'est la vie. The rabbit beckoned, I followed. I guess I should deal with it. Note to self. Look before jumping into rabbit holes.... lest you end up in Oz.

Sunday's rebel siege of Makati ended peacefully, thank goodness. Although honestly, I don't know what to believe anymore these days, it's quite admirable that people like those junior officers were willing to solidly stand by what they believed in. I can't say I agree with their methods, though. But it's not a small thing, standing there against the governnment and telling the world what you believe, even if defeat was somehow looming in the horizon. How many people can say that they are willing to do that?

The past week has been surreal. I'm actually enjoying work.... Hrmmmm....

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Went on a "Meteor Garden" marathon last night and watched about 5 chapters or so. I couldn't resist it. For some weird reason, I actually learned something from one of the chapters. Yeah, weird. I know. Hey, hey. Don't scoff. We all have our little guilty pleasures, right? :)

I got it and did what I had to do this morning and got a pleasant surprise because of it. Funny how it's all starting to be "nakakaaliw". That one phone call I did not even personally get and the circumstances of it all is so damn "nakakaaliw". Why did I have to decide to take a walk then? Why did he have to call then? Why can't he have good timing, darn it? LOL. And why am I reacting this way anyway? This is nothing! This is supposed to be nothing! It is unthinkable, it is even almost impossible. Go away, delusions and illusions. You are treading on thin ice, girl. Stop it. I can't even believe I'm writing about this. Why am I writing about this? Why am I writing about him? Oh, shush. This is just an after-Audit effect. I'm sure this will go away eventually.... I hope....

Back to reality....

Am looking at my calendar right now and it doesn't look very promising. I've got loads to take care of until August 30. If I even survive until then. Damn that little slip-up in judgment which seems to be snowballing now. So many things to worry about and find solutions for. It seems that if you start out with just one problem in one area of your life, the tendency is for other problems to pop up in other areas of your life. It almost seems like those areas are saying, if you can't beat them, join them. Yikes. Definitely not the way to be. I think I need a real Pensieve to sort out my thoughts. My brain is all muddled now, I don't think I can even write a proper blog entry. But I guess I'll try. I think I need a diversion too. I even think I need help. I could use a superhero just about now.... Or God. Thank goodness, there's still God.

Who in the world do you think you're kidding, girl? It's not over. Not by a long shot. There are consequences, but then, it's inevitable. No. It is not over. Face it. Embrace it.

Should I or shouldn't I? But I don't even know how. Although there is a way.... Yes, I think I've got it. Yes. I have got it. So back to the first question? Should I?

Closing meeting went well. I only got 3 Observations for my direct area of responsibility, and we didn't get any non-conformances in general. I guess the cute auditor really IS nice. :D Now it's time to implement continual improvement. And my foot can finally rest. And I can finally sleep. And I can finally start thinking of new filks. And start trying to figure out who in the world Grimace really is... and if he really fathered a Purplechicken with Birdie.... and ... and...

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Audit today.

A few days ago, we decided that we must be wary of the trainee auditor. Apparently, the guy is nice and really helpful. Yay. Hopefully he will still turn out to be nice come closing meeting. We will know by 5:30.

Am so sleepy and tired now. So very tired.

Stayed till 12:30am just to make sure everything is covered. Thankfully there are no ghosts. Or at least I didn't see any. *shudder*

Birthday went well though I had to work overtime. Thanks to everyone who sent their greetings.

And to the guys, thanks for the gift. :)

It's Saturday, less than a week to go before the Surveillance Audit and.... I'm stuck at home! Meeeeep! I'm so gonna be dead by next week. I have to catch up with a lot of stuff that was put aside in favor of event planning for the Handover Ceremony. I'm looking forward to sleeping nicely by the weekend.

Maybe this is the Force's way of telling me I work too much. But I have to. If I become idle, it's more unhealthy for me. I start to think too much then, see. Besides, the Audit is coming, and working overtime is to be expected. The Force seems to be in touch with me a lot these past few days. Maybe my skills are improving....

For the first time in almost two years, I was left alone in the office (in one of the haunted areas) during overtime. At least I didn't see or feel a thing. But it sure was lonely.... Good thing my dear Padawan called and kept me company a few minutes. Thanks, Rain. :)

Damn it, did I have to sprain my left foot today too? Just when it's now less than a week before the audit? I think I want to cry.... I so hate being stuck and not able to move around. It even takes too much effort to walk to the PC and to go up to my room. Even to go the bathroom! Meep.

When will my luck change?

The Force seems to be very strong in me today.

Got online using LTCPSRV2, our network server. LOL. Oh, well. I just need to break the monotony of staring at too many technical documents. I can remember last year, just a week before audit time. I felt like a zombie actually. And there were 5 people on my team then. Now there's just two of us and about 2 weeks to go. I'm up for a field audit in Bataan, a workshop, dozens of document revisions, hundreds of little details to iron out, trainings to schedule and worry about... the list just goes on and on.

I'm just so tired. So very tired.... I can feel my eyes wanting to close on their own accord. I only put in about 2 and a half hours of sleep this morning. I finally got an Internet card, and caught dearest Owlsy on IM, so I couldn't quite stop surfing either. Heheh. My fault, really.

One nice thing that happened to me this weekend though is that I finally finished my article about the Phoenix Party. Wheeeee! I've also picked out the pictures I want, so I'm sending that off to brother Ron so he can try to get it published. I hope it does get published. :)

The SWP Assembly seemed to go on forever. I think it lasted... oh, about 9 hours, officially? Or 8? Man. But it was fun nonetheless.

The first day of the seventh month. Just 30 more days to go before Harry Potter's birthday. LOL.

The Handover Ceremony went well, thank goodness. Audit comes next. Meep.

Have to go reread "Phoenix" this weekend. :D
