the week that was

it's a lazy, rainy saturday morning and i'm typing as i'm eating breakfast. i cannot be thankful enough that the week has finally ended. i hate underwriting. no, let me correct myself. i abhor underwriting. never want to undergo that training again. as a testament to how much we agonized over our underwriting training, we actually failed our hands-on exams...but we didn't care. hihi...we just can't be more relieved that we're done with it.

anyway, this week the mrt had two booboo's. monday, a train broke down. and dione and i could not have been in a more aptly situationed coach. we were right behind the malfuctioning train. so we ended up waiting for 20 minutes in buendia, then another 40 minutes to get to shaw. imagine, they wanted to get everybody off at boni because the train had to be hauled to shaw. the stubborn women that we were (at that time), we disregarded the order and sat our lazy butts down. so when we got to shaw, ohmygoodness. we stopped in the middle of the tracks and dione (stressful and freaked out) thought we were going to walk all the way to the platform. and me? well, i was laughing my head off. i thought dione was hilarious. hehehe... thankfully, we didn't end up trudging down the tracks. but it did take us a good one hour from taft to shaw (which should have been just around 15 minutes). at least the airconditioning didn't fail us. i feel sad for the people who had to wait in the stinking body heat of other people, if you know what i mean. (in other words, i felt for you, kerwin...hehehe)

and then, just a few days after, and this time, kerwin, dione, and i were surprised to find out at taft that the mrt only made taft-shaw and shaw-taft trips. poor dione had to take a bus at crossing...talk about hassle, huh?

friday. sales presentation. one that we all didn't prepare much for. what with our underwriting imprisonment, we weren't able to pay as much attention to our projects as much as we would have been comfortable with. BUT, being the winning team that we are, we pulled it off quite successfully and impressed the big boss. he even struck a deal with us re the ateneo-lasalle duel on sunday. mmm...i can already smell the italian lunch courtesy of the lasallians....hehe..go ateneo!

i'm glad the week's over. i'm now off to the gym with my boyfriend!
