Post Christmas Stuff...

December 25, 2006...

Still woke up early and drove on to Bulacan to see the relatives. Christmas lunch was a welcome opposite to yesterday's healthy approach. A little cholesterol in your system is still good for you, I always say. :D


The Menu : Lechon Kawali, Fried Chicken, Shrimps, Enseladang Mangga in an unusual vinegrette, Afritada, Fruit Salad.

Family tradition in Bulacan is that you have to eat something at every house you visit, even if it means visiting all NINE of them in one trip, not including the various cousins already living separately but always nearby. Over the years we've learned to pace ourselves otherwise we'd grow fat and/or offend some relatives for not eating. Nothing beats homecooking, with some noteable hits like Sumang Yakap, Afritada, various fruit salads and countless desserts.

Some Pictures...

Got a new contractor for my project. Will kick-off hostilities first thing next year. But before that, I gotta get the Project Team ready for em.

Audit!!! Looks like things ran smoothly and that the certification is a success. Something to look forward to next year.

Boring. Couldn't get my photo server running so that I can get my pictures posted sooner. Wrote Auntie and a couple of friends a Merry Christmas. Gotta get my computer at home fixed...

Still got work here on site. The second tower's anxious to do one more concrete pour before the year ends. Who said things here grind to a stop?

I saw a few friends online. Some of em were at the office just like me, while only a few are at home.

Last working day of the year... well hopefully. +P


Tower crane for the second tower's being jacked up today. The base of that crane is just by the door of my office. It's a monster! It's also fascinating to watch. Lots of safety checks involved in what's supposed to be a simple procedure. But trust me, its not.
