The Pressure of Purchasing

Part of my working space in Procurement Department .
Messy right? Indeed--just for today

Today, I feel like I just needed a breather. A slap of fresh air and a breakaway from all the office work pressures. If you happen to be working in the procurement department maybe you can closely relate to every inch of stress that this kind of job brings. 

It was a whole day of chaos in my department. Admittedly, we are under staff compared to other departments in our company. Adding to my pressure was the recent resignation  of one member of my team. Well, he'd got a new job in an investment bank with a much higher renumeration. Who won't be tempted to quit a current job if the offer from a new prospect is something highly irresistible? Everyone right? 

Samu't Saring Pagmumuni-muni - Version 1.1

Mga ilang araw din akong nawala sa blog na ito. Isa lang ang kahulugan nito. Walang bagong blog entry. Sa ilang araw na iyon anu-ano nga ba ang mga pinagkaabalahan ko? 

Ang totoo niyan marami akong mga bagay na ginawa sa loob ng ilang araw na iyon. Kung aking bibilangin, apat na araw din pala akong nag-hibernate sa blog na ito. Katulad ng ibang masipag na Juan (masipag daw oh! haha! oo, masipag ayaw ko kasing maikumpara kay Juan Tamad), punong-puno ang aking iskedyul. Umaapaw nga eh pero ang lahat ng mga iyon ay pawang mahalaga sa akin.

O siya! bibigyan ko na nga kayo ng ideya kung ano ang mga pinagkapaguran kong gawin sa loob ng apat na araw. At eto ang mga mahahalagang bagay na aking pinag-kaabalahan:

Samu't Saring Pagmumuni-muni - Version 1.0

Habang ako'y papauwi sa flat ko galing ng opisina ng katanghaliang tapat kanina, ako'y nagmumuni-muni ng mga bagay-bagay. 


(While on my way home from the office at around lunch time, my mind was busy contemplating with various things.)

Nilalakad ko lang pala pabalik ng aking flat galing sa opisina at gayundin naman papasok. Mga sampung minuto ay matagal nang paglalakad kung tatantsahin mo.


(By the way, I just usually walk going back to my flat and coming to office. More or less, it will take only ten minutes of walk.)

Siguro mga ilang buwan ko na ring pinag-iisipan ang mga bagay-bagay na pilit sumisiksik sa aking isipan. Na tila ba namamalimos ng atensiyon na pilit ko namang pinagkakait sa pamamagitan ng di-pagpansin sa mga eto.


(I guess, these various thoughts has been running into my mind for several months now. As if it begs for attention while I was too selfish ignoring it.)


Anu-ano nga ba ang mga bagay na pilit na sumisigaw sa isipan ko? Sa totoo niyan, marami-rami din. Sige mga mambabasa sabayan ninyo akong isa-isahin natin ang mga panauhin ko sa aking isipan.


(And what are those things which keeps shouting in my head? Truth is, it's been a lot. Readers join me as I run down the visitors of my mind.)

• Paglalaro ng Badminton - isa eto sa sobrang nami-miss ko nang laruin. Ang totoo niyan may sinalihan na akong club dito sa KSA--ang FUN (Filipino United Netters) Badminton Club. Pero dahil sa work schedule ko at sa may kalayuan ang venue, di ako nakapagpatuloy. Sa Pilipinas naman, makikita mo ako sa kung saan saan lang. Dumadayo ng laro sa iba-ibang badminton Center. Kadalasan sa Metropolis Badminton Center, Toyota Alabang Smash Center, Christ The King in Muntinlupa, Smasher's Point in Binan, Laguna, The Playground in BF Almanza, Las Pinas, Shuttle Badminton Center in Mandaluyong and one in Bocobo too na di ko lang natandaan ang pangalan. Marami-rami di ba, halatang masipag maglaro. lols!
• (Playing Badminton -- I really miss to play this sport. As a matter of fact, I already enlist myself in one of the badminton club here in KSA - the F.U.N. (Filipino United Netters) Badminton Association. But I was forced to quit due to my work schedule plus the venue is quite far prompting me not to pursue playing at regular timings. Back in the Philippines, you can usually see me just roaming around the metropolis. I've been playing in badminton centers like that in Metropolis Badminton Center in Alabang, Toyota Alabang Smash Center, Playground in BF Almanza, Las Pinas, Shuttle Badminton Center in Mandaluyong and the one in Bocobo, Malate too I just forgot the name of the place. Quite a lot right? been so badminton freak lols!
