A one-live cat’s life

At last i was able to rest on a Saturday evening after succesfully accomplishing my last-minute emergency support to KL team.  Relieved!  It was too tiring that  I almost forgot the time i need to check-out the hotel.  Imediately called the front desk and i was told i will be charged soon for another day if i dont hurry up. I managed to check-out being charged in short.

So arriving Sydney by morning, deciding how i can maximize the time.  It was not a rainy/gloomy weekend! Oh how i wanted to go to the beach! my eyes say im still sleepy, my body is tired so I went to mass after dropping my bags at the apartment.  Then took two and a half hour nap.

It was a plan i need to get a long 10Km run this Sunday! So i did. Finally. im satisfied, activities done. Its a new week.  Hoping its a week that i can deliver, and IF i can run once outdoor in Melbourne.

Distance: 11.044 KM
Sunday Run.Pitt St - Museum park - hyde park - Opera house - Botanical gardens- Circular Quay - The rocks - up York st - George St - back Pitt st.

Okey a boo boo that taught me a lesson.  I arrived home cooling off before showering, i took off my shirt and jacket. I am to throw my trash at the chute, using the door stopper to keep the door open.  When i came back, the door is locked! and I didnt have the keys, I do not have my cellphone.  And yea.. uhuh.. i am in my sports bra and my shorts! I pannicked as i do not know what to do next, braved myself rode the elevator with my outfit! (okey okey its not too conservative environment here but duh i am not comfy and what if i get locked out for a night?- how do i go buy clothes how do i go find a locksmith with my outfit with a chilling temperature of 15 degrees outside!) anyway i waited for the guard to arrive his post and luckily they  keep spare for the unit rented by corporate clients. okey now thanks to him! Lesson learned, whatever you do, wear decent clothes, bring keys, bring cellphone and make sure you have the emergency numbers :D.

At last i got an apartment to lease after a bit of challenge looking one near the CBD as there is a "property shortage" going on and apparently auctioning them for higher prices! argh! not to mention i felt the first reasons i did not get called for my application on the properties i first applied is because i am a Pinoy. The they-think-so-called-lower-asian-race. Anyways, i am glad i got one which i felt is really for me, expensive a bit but with garden, pool, gym, lap pool and the bay and the park near it and plus the shops and cafes! so that’s off my to do list!

it was a rush-sign-turn over the keys, as i was called if i can help an emergency work in Malaysia. Well remotely a first, then comes a call 4 hours before the signing of my contract to lease, i was told i was booked for a flight to KL!!!  Wow sounds nice I am one of the three remaining experts left in the region.  It was a long Holi in oz so the PMs thought okey, i can be lent to KL. First time to fly on a business class! i am so Promdi and excited! they say so i am rested and go straight and do my firefighting-job.

Less than hour before the time i need to be at the airport i am leaving the premises of my new home, thinking of not ready not able to pack my clothes yet. Arriving the apartment i just dumped all clothes in my luggage, freshened up. because of the rush i had boo boos
1. forgot to bring my Ringgits with me
2. left my Universal adaptor
3. forgot i was flying business class i just slipped on my rubber thongs! uh yea i was thinking of relaxing and rest at the plane after a busy day.
4. I forgot my camera
Oh not to mention of sending you on a business class mean a high expectation you should get the job done! (haha and here i am blogging.. yea on multi tasking monitoring the logs)

So since I arrived wednesday morning i hardly had 8 hours of sleep in total working on shifts desperately hoping this time the fire goes off and i say mission accomplished as they want me back Monday. Well not before i get a call yesterday they want me in Melbourne for a deadline on Friday!

Sounds nice, i could not complain! i love travelling… i need to keep up and do my job. well looking forward on Monday’s work load, hoping this last day at KL get this work done, and hopefully move in my new home.

Okey, i have been absent for almost a month now in this crib.  I was just feeling homesick and lazy lately but then i realized my runs takes out stress so i decided to do my outdoor runs a week ago.

I am keen in posting real scenery pics on my routes i promise! once i upload them in my laptop

I was being lazy, suppose to go on a morning i still managed to go run in the afternoon after the rains.  A funny route as I did the run and aiming to get to the markets to shop my veggies and fruits before it goes 530PM as i planned to go to mass at 6!
