Hectic Morning....

we finished taping part of our marketing earlier this morning. it was pretty cold and very windy outside. but still, the weather was great! the sun was up. blue blue sky with specs of white
clouds. it was really wonderful to be out that early in the morning with that kind of scene. it was very refreshing! i miss that. tranquil and yet such positive vibes around us. everyone working
yet having fun. fabulous morning indeed!

one of our barista and our kitchen head was with me during the taping. it was fun for us three! we keep making up stories and just chuckling away about what will happen during the taping. hahaha... we were just standing around and yet we were having fun.

in the end, we were taped last and our "feature" will be shown this Monday. my nerves slight melted away but my barista got a little tongue-tied when we were interviewed. however, she said she still had fun. it was an experience for us three.

after that, off to make sandwiches for another taping for another establishment in our area. my friend got me to sponsor food for the taping. we were able to tour his resort. i was with another staff this time. by the time we got to his resort, it was really sunny and hot. there was just some breeze now and then. his resort was kind of interesting though. they have horses (love those wonderful creatures!), some cottages and suites, a pool, some team-building activities and lots more. it was a quiant little resort. my staff and i liked the place.

however, i just could not take it anymore. my eyes were in sleepy mode already from sleeping late (because of work) and waking up very early in the morning for the taping. i dont know how those guys (working in that network) could do it. i have to praise them for their energy, patience and work ethics. they are truly amazing! they havent fully slept in days and yet they were able to do their jobs well. and they are also very nice. such wonderful and creative people.

after all that, i got home a few hours ago and i thought i would be able to sleep because i'm so tired. but, 6 hours later, i'm still wide awake and typing away. i think i'm still restless but my mind and body are not functioning well anymore so i'm just staying home and just entertain myself surfing the net, watching videos and stuff. hopefully, i'll get really tired and really sleepy and, at last, be able to sleep soundly. but, before that, i still have to finish some work.

... sleepy...

sleep is something that am lacking.
sleep can make me think clearly.
sleep can help me relax a bit.
sleep could make me sane again.

sleep......

i need to sleep....

but, i can't. i think, i am becoming an Insomniac.

a long time...

its been awhile since i last posted here.
a lot has happened.
a lot of drama. a lot of comedy.
and maybe a bit of action. hehehe...


since my last post, we have already opened 2 new stores. although, one of them is just a satellite branch of an existing store. and we are about to close it down because of dismal sales. we have only been operating there since late Dec. 2007. it really isn't working out.
but, the other branch is doing really well. it could still do better, but so far, its been doing good. we're just doing our marketing blast last march. oh, this other branch we opened late January 2008. hopefully, we can find another place to put the satellite branch because we still paid a lot for that and we need to earn back the money that we invested on that branch.


however, i'm already getting tired because my sister left (with my mom) for a vacation and i have to manage all those 3 stores. good thing that my aunt is helping me and our staff are very responsible and trust-worthy that i am able to 'jump' from one branch to another without much worry. although, i'm not saying that everything is okay. there were still some minor problems that we have/had to address. i'm just getting a bit tired, physically, from all the traveling, going two stores (in the province) and one store in the metro. and doing the marketing for all the stores. i think i will burn-out soon if i dont get some rest. i am still grateful though because i am not stuck inside the store. i'm always on the road. so, yehey for that!

I Miss Japan!

I want to go back to Japan. I want to explore it more.
I'm still learning the language. Its so fascinating!
The whole Japan is fascinating. One of my friends was
telling me stories about his stay there and they are all
pretty exciting... a culture full of contradictions!
I like that!

I like their food, their cities, their transportation,
their language. And they are so polite. You just have
to learn their language though because just a few knows
how to speak English or knows English. Its such a nice
experience though, trying to learn their language.

I really want to go back there. Maybe by 2009 I can
go back. I'll be preparing for that.

Alone or Lonely?

I just felt lonely all of a sudden.
I felt this little ache in my heart?

I don't know. Just a feeling of sadness.
I'm not the kind of person that gets
all mushy about boyfriends or that
"love stuff". But, I keep wondering
when will I meet the person who I
will spend the rest of my life with.

Wala lang. I don't know. It's a
weird feeling. I'm just not used to it.

Weird...
