a (temporary?) respite

Finally, work has been forgiving these past few weeks. I guess it's a well-deserved respite after months of back-breaking load. I know it'll pick up again soon, but I guess (actually, I hope) that our team is better-equipped now to handle stress. Still, we can only handle so much. Nevertheless, I am grateful for this manageable work load.

On other, happier news, Francis and I are looking forward to Baler. A friend of ours (who's also his colleague) is getting married there this May. I'm so stoked about the trip that I've been searching the web for things to do and places to see in Baler. Plus, I'm excited about the prospect of learning how to surf, though I most likely will not even try. Hahaha! I'm not even close to being a decent swimmer (I only "know" how to swim if I'm in 5-feet-deep waters; any deeper than that, I'll drown!). It's weird, I know, but the idea of surfing entices me, especially after seeing the movie Soul Surfer. 

The more exciting part about the Baler trip is that it's also a sort of company outing, so everything is practically free! Isn't that cool? I really wish it's already May. Sand and surf, I'll be seeing you soon!!!
