Ramblings: What's Been Keeping Me...

It's been awhile since I've been active in my blogging and I don't really have that much of an excuse apart from being bored and lazy to write. Excuses aside, work is partly to blame for my laziness. There's just too much work to be done in the office these days.  Well, since around August, actually, when I found myself with more than just a handful of projects. Projects which I can't just do the whole fire-and-forget thing.  These projects actually make me step back and think things over before proceeding.  Not that I'm complaining, of course. Then there's the whole have-to-consume-your-leaves bit.  The company I work for doesn't convert our leaves to cash, though I wish they would, so I'm forced to take sabbatical after sabbatical from work from now until the end of the year. Yep... that's how much leave time I have from work.  All stored up for something that will never be happening this year. Now, I don't really like being away from the office for long periods of time.  For one thing, I hate having to deal with the overflowing number of emails in my inbox. And another is that I will have too much time to myself... to brood and think things over.  In other words, boredom at home.  I can't exactly go out as I'm extremely short of cash and means.  Gas is getting expensive again, you know. All things considered, I suppose I still have it good compared to most people. At least I have my family and my own place to live in now. Oh, one more thing... I got a second hosting contract now.  It's Jeng and Maricel's business venture.  Their site is called MonsterrriPic.com and is currently a work in progress.  It's a photo booth for hire venture and they're taking bookings and contracts now.  Their first event was at the wedding of a colleague of ours somewhere up north.  I didn't go as I wasn't invited.  If you're interested in hiring them for your events shoot an email to:   There it is.  You're now completely caught up with what I've been up to since the last time I posted something about my goings on.  Not much, no?
