am back and swamped

after 2 weeks of being out-of-town for work, i am back to my regular life.

it's been such a tiring week. twice last week, i had to be up as early as 3:30am just to prepare and reach the airport in time for my 5am flight.

i was tired but i did have fun during the trips. it was an experience to be able to visit a new place and immerse yourself in the local life somehow.

i went back to manila last saturday by 1pm. and since it was also lasting impression's anniversary sale, i couldn't pass up the chance for some scrap shopping. so off to the store we went by 2pm. after all, i've been deprived of scrapping for the past 2 weeks. i did score a few new papers and that acrylic block i've been eyeing for months already. i ordered a paper gator which i have yet to pick-up.

i thought i'll be able to scrap the whole of sunday, unfortunately, i was advised that we have a photo shoot to attend that day. so sunday from 2pm - 9pm, i was out of the house working. no rest for the weary as they say. there was practically no chance to rest much at all.

i guess tiredness got the better of me. i woke up at 2am monday with the worst back pain i've felt in a while. i was literally crying in pain! nelo was at a loss, he couldn't do anything but watch me as i writhe in pain. he applied liniment on my back and it did help a little but it was really so painful, i just cried myself to sleep.

it's already thursday and work is terrible. lots of pending projects and other deliverables. i can't seem to catch up much with life nowadays. i really can't wait for the week to be over. but yet again, i have a major presentation on monday and i still have to prepare for it.

well, at least i still have a job. so despite all the workload, i must move on. december 1 was declared a holiday so i do hope i can get the much needed rest by then.
