Monster Pizza for my Monster Team =)

It's our office's Sportsfest Opening Ceremony and almost half of my team is in the Basketball team. Meaning, I have to recruit a lot of agents again for overtime to cover for the hours that our staffing will be thin.
Good thing though, my friends (the Sr. CMAs; guy sa 3rd photo above, and yung girl in front sa 1st photo) planned not to watch the opening ceremony to support the agents who will go on OT.
Ayan... before going to Makati Coliseum, deadma na sa pagko-calls basta magpapa-picture sila.
And syempre, to recognize all those who rendered OT and who gave up watching the opening ceremony just to answer calls... I ordered a giant pizza from Jugno's for them.

This is our team while enjoying the pizza... Di pa lahat yan, may calls kasi yung iba and yung iba naman nahihiya (newbies kasi)...
Eto na yung team after eating... call volume has already subsided so, petiks na...


Black's our team color kaya kami naka-black...

Kape on a Worknight...

It was quite a lax Wednesday since all I did was to create a training module, chat with Angel and update my Facebook account... hehe... Oh, and how could I forget my "mini" meeting with my papable manager :-D

Anyway, I was about to go home around 6:30 when Shawie texted me that she's at Northpark in Greenbelt with Chris! Yes, Christine Joy has arrived and will be on vacation for a month and a half! Yahoo! Looking forward to an out of town trip with the Marnix guys...!!! =)

Before going to Greenbelt, I remembered a promise I made to the CMAs (customer management associates) that I'll treat them to Starbucks on payday, so there... Ai, Rhegie, Meg and myself went to Pacific Star Bldg. and ordered 3 Caramel Frappes (for them), Hot Caramel Macchiato (for me), and 4 Belgian Waffles (c/o Meg). I had fun talking to my officemates and found out a lot of things about the office, former Workforce Analyst and their first impression on "Ms. Principal"-- that's Me. Sabi nila, when they first saw me, they somehow felt nervous because of my "appearance" (powerdressed kasi ako that time with my glasses.. hehe...). They actually thought I was strict, uptight and they never expected that they'd be able to talk to me as Me and not as Ms. Avee or Ms. Principal. I felt good hearing these words from my agents kasi di ko naman inexpect na they will be as "open" as telling me those things... AND, I was relieved talaga knowing that they actually understood my position as WFA. Yung iba kasi, sobrang kontrabida ang dating ko sa kanila... Duh...



So yun na no, after ng gigian portion sa Starbucks, gora na ko sa Starbucks (again) Glorietta to meet Ceej and Shaw naman... na tipong sinabi ko sa kanila na stranded ako sa Pacific Star... hehehe... Sorry Shawiwor... Yun, gigian ng walang humpay with Shaw and Ceej then dumating si Keat... kainis nga lang wala kaming pic. Siguro around 11 PM na kami naghiwahiwalay and super worried pa ko kasi maaga pa ko gigising the next day for church service... Ayun, 12 MN na ko nakarating sa house tapos 12:30 na natulog... kasi naman, yung usual 30-minute ride from Makati to Better, eh naging 1 hour kasi di alam ni manong driver yung daan kaya binibigyan ko pa ng directions (na nagkamali pa ko dun sa isang turn... hehehe), tapos ang dilim dilim pa... scary ang biyahe... Ayun, puyat on a worknight ang drama ko... haaayyyy...

Blepharoplasty (from www.cosmeticsurgeryconsultants.co.uk)

Blepharoplasty is one of the most popular cosmetic surgical procedures. Eyelid surgery is a procedure to remove fat - usually along with excess skin and muscle - from the upper and lower eyelids. Eyelid surgery can lift drooping upper lids and reduce the puffy eye bags that form below your eyes. This procedure can be done alone or in conjunction with other plastic facial surgery procedures such as a facelift.
Eye Bag Removal Surgery Procedure
For the upper eyelids the incision is made in the natural crease line that occurs 1 cm above the eyelashes. The incisions might extend into the crow's feet or laughter lines at the outer corners of your eyes. Working through the incisions your surgeon will separate the skin from the subcutaneous layers and remove excess fat and trim sagging muscle and skin. The incisions will then be closed with very fine sutures.
For the lower eyelids the incision starts underneath the eyelashes and extends out 1 cm or so outwards into the crow's feet area, the skin is then lifted upwards and outwards, gently tensioning the area and overlapping skin removed. Again the incisions will then be closed with very fine sutures.
How long does the surgery take?
Blepharoplasty surgery is an operation that usually takes 1.5 to 3 hours to complete using a general anaesthetic and normally includes an overnight stay at the hospital. In certain circumstances it can be performed as a day case (usually if just the upper eyelids are operated on).
What can I expect from the surgery?
Your expectations need to be realistic. The positive results of your refreshing eyes and reduced tired appearance will benefit your self-esteem and confidence and should last for years.
Recovery after Blepharoplasty Surgery
What will happen in the recovery period?

After blepharoplasty surgery, the surgeon will probably lubricate your eyes with ointment and may apply a bandage. Some bruising and swelling will be experienced during the first and second weeks, however the majority of the swelling usually subsides after the first 10 days. Your eyelids may feel dry at first, but eye drops can help with this. Any sutures are usually removed after 5 days. Scars will form as a result of the surgery. Overall these scars heal relatively well, but will differ in each individual patient.
What is the recovery time?
Recovery varies from patient to patient and it is advisable to take it easy for the first week after surgery. Most people are ready to go out and return to work after a week to 10 days. You should keep your activities to a minimum for three to five days and avoid more strenuous activities for about three weeks.
