Updates Updates Updates

1. Wedding

Been busy planning our church wedding, we went to visit the PI for a week last September, but it was nothing like a vacation. Our schedule was so packed, there wasn’t much time to relax nor spend quality time with our families. We’ll be back there for more than 3 weeks next time. AM SO EXCITED!!! This is the best picture I got from my visit there. How I miss my niece. :(

2. Regarding my previous post (Uod):

Well my calamansi plant has probably been able to produce at least 4 butterflies already. For some reason, the plant became a caterpillar haven. Probably since they don’t have predators flying by in this side of the building.

Then there were around 4 storm warnings during the past weeks. None of the storms actually hit the island, but there was this tropical depression that caused all our things from the balcony go topsy turvy. Our lounge chairs were down; my plants fell and it’s pots are 2 meters away from it, the soil still intact. Hehe. Even the huge calamansi pot fell and got off-potted. Thus, no caterpillars on the plant now, the plant itself is still recuperating from the recent abuse it got from these freakin’ harsh winds.


3. Work

So I’ve been in my work for 4 months now. I have to say I am still adjusting and have got a lot of things to learn about the technical stuff. As all other jobs, there are days when you want to give yourself a pat on a back at the end of the day; and there are moments when you leave office wanting to hit yourself (or some colleague).


4. Air Show

Unlike in the mainland, the US Air Force Air Show doesn’t happen here every year. In fact, there’s no regular schedule. Luckily, they planned one for this year. It was supposed to happen 30 Sept, but due to typhoon alerts, it was cancelled. They moved it to 07 Oct but shortened the show to a half day.

I have been planning to watch the air show for months. Couldn’t miss it for anything. Then October 7 came, I was all set, I already got permissions from the bosses that I can leave around 3:00 PM, right in time for the Thunderbirds Demo. Then at 2:50 PM, the phone rang and I received a message that meant we got a lot of major issues at work. Can’t leave. Can’t go. Can’t watch the air show. :’(

My husband was able to watch the Thunderbirds and here are the shots he did. I did the post-processing but I tell you, my heart was sinking the whole time I was editing these photos. I should have been there. Yes, I cried like a little child.
