happiness with 10 minions and more

the year’s almost halfway and i gladly have my z1 compact back for looking back at the past few days, weeks, and months through pictures and recordings. last month ended with g69’s summer outing. (yeah… i think i was supposed to blog long about that, but oh well.) in the days that followed, i got to look back again at our past outings and gigs. on foundation day, 6/9, i got myself to post past pics recording our group outings—from our la union trip to last month’s batangas trip. fun to see how the group has grown in size and number.

just today, i thought of texting TJ and made me realize again how old we’re getting with most of the updates being about kids and marriages.

on the lighter side of things, because i’m avoidant in a way, mhae and i got 10 new minions. the pre-order event was a bit dramatic, but the smiles and laughter opening them mage everything worthwhile. very very worth the trouble, cash, and that bit of drama about 2 weeks prior.

and speaking of two weeks, in the past two weeks, i seem to have spent more time at the office than in recent months. still less than the slfm days. near completion of one and starting another project, it gives me more reason to work properly. haha. and i am lucky to have very capable teammates. i think they see me contributing a lot but i know i have much more to give and i have yet to give that. there’s a certain sense of pride in being able to impart knowledge from experience and see it put to better use that i have.

another positive about more work hours is a more positive cashflow. i sure wish i can maintain and improve this rate based on my refined expenses workbook. yeah! excel for expense monitoring and income projection.

almost halftime, i still have much to accomplish like renewing ID’s and driving. i have also yet to go to confession. last time i did was last december. gotta do something about that. i’ve been feeling better, and i’m glad mhaelord is also, with our 6:30am choir. there are politics and conflict around but i think things will get better soon. action. for everyone around, and for me, the keyword for the coming weeks should be “action.”
