A New Start
Today was a pretty interesting day. I started work today in my agency's new office in Makati. The new place is pretty cool, though quite unfinished. We'll give it a couple of weeks before it becomes totally liveable. So far, the PROS are; NICE view, smart, snazzy building, closer to clients. CONS so far, it's quite a distance from a meal (and NO MINISTOPS nearby!!!), farther from home, closer to clients... Heh.
I rode the MRT again after a looooong absence. Still as crowded as I remember it. Anyway, I got down at Buendia and found FX taxis aplenty which would take me to my new building. It's a really posh and modern place, with a nice cafeteria where you order stuff with a swipe card and pay only when you leave the premises.
Today, we spent our time trying to get our lives back in order as we faced a new and more radical, free-flowing office layout, dust and boxes of STUFF everywhere, and unfinished furnishings laying about. Of course, EVERYTHING paled in comparison to the sudden entrance of our NEW LAPTOPS. Yep, our Apple Powerbook G4 notebooks arrived today, and we were able to finally hold them in our hands, set up our new partners-in-crime and even go out later in the evening to shop for laptop bags.
Afterwards, we ate a little snack at SPAM JAM, the restaurant at Glorietta which specializes in various preparations of... well, Spam. Not as bad as Dean made it out... or maybe I was just really hungry, and it's been a long time since I had Spam. Heh.
It was a hot yet cool day. Lots of firsts and new things, and things that bode well for the future. Here's to things getting better as we go.
