Updates from the Land of Work and Crazy

Hello, folks. Yes, I breathe. I am also in a state of dumbstruck stupefaction: the last time I wrote on here was a month ago. Things have happened:

1. KFC IT Park is now open. The happiest place on earth, where chicken makes you fly! I was in a state of utter euphoria and wanted to have my picture taken in front of the place like a true hardcore crazy fan, but the moment passed. And I only just had my first KFC meal at the place yesterday (takeout! scandal!). This should tell you the sad state of my affairs at the moment - that I can barely spare time to actually eat and enjoy it.

2. Michael Jackson has left for the giant disco ball in the sky. I have currently been riding Channel Myx's 24-hr Jacko Express with both hands in the air, and dancing around like I'm in the throes of mingled happiness and depression. I miss him. MJ was a huge part of my youth. Illi and I had plans to perform Scream as a duet. (Yes, because we were major dorks. Still are, come to think of it.) I was just telling Alex the other day that it's a shame he died amidst so much speculation and judgement - it totally obscured his genius and the fact that we can probably sing along to 90% of his hitz without needing a copy of SongHitz. Well. I can, anyway.

3. My dearly beloved Alex has had a very merry birthday and is also a proud uncle to Karli Ann, who happened to be born on the same day he was. Joint parties! Drinks and booze on the left, milk and cookies on the right! Yay! This makes me an auntie-in-law for the first time as well. So now I am a fabulous auntie on both sides.

4. I have now finished practically three new hire classes, and that's just for this half of the year. It's exhausting and sometimes all I want to do on weekends is sleep. Or stay in my bed and just veg out.

5. Flying is the way to go. Thank you, Cebu Pacific, thank you! Nothing like bridging the time warp and traveling from Dumaguete to Cebu in just 30 minutes. I love seat sales.
