One Day Break
By The Parodist | November 1, 2006
It’s been a while since I truly felt how a holiday is treasured by normal working people, er, since I’ve been out of the corporate scene for quite a bit now. Yes. I’m once again braving this world of powersuits, meetings and endless white papers — the typical 9 to 5 job. Gah.
The past couple of weeks were a blur and all I can distinctly note is that I’m now re-learning how to commute mainly with the use of the shuttle that services Ortigas-bound Paranaque folk and basically trying to get to know this part of the metro that I’m not really familiar with. Let me tell you, it’s a real experience. Whew.
When I learned that we get to spend this day off from work, I’m a bit relieved since I’ve been swamped with work. I’m not kidding. Add that to the fact that I’m still adjusting from my former state wherein I used to own and manage my time with an already established routine. Sigh.
Today is a good day. It’s a nice break. Even when a major part of it was used to do some more work, I appreciated the fact that I got to sleep in. I got to spend my “holiday” last night anyway, which was fantastic because I needed some time away from all the things that needed to be done. I needed time to de-stress. I’m thankful for the dinner and the company. Teehee.
Now, the day’s almost over but I’m off to do more work. Gah. I’m looking forward to the weekend.
Humour Me:
- The end of all pain
- Routine, Control and Pace
- I’m such a stupid idiot!
- To Do: Reach 100 lbs!
- Relax. See a ‘good’ movie!

hi, id like to know where do you ride the shuttle? I live in Paranaque and work in Ortigas. Bringing my own car is starting to take its toll. Where is the station in Paranaque and what is its route. Hope you can enlighten me on this. Thanks.

Tinkerbell: It’s located along Dona Soledad avenue in Better Living. It’s right across the blue building that houses INK. It usually services people around the Ortigas CBD. It takes the skyway and edsa then turns at pioneer to reach shaw blvd then san miguel avenue and/or goes straight to tektite via escriva. I reckon it also passes through emerald and around the union bank building. However, you can check with the operator regarding the exact route when you get to the terminal. Last trip is around 930am.
Hope that helps.
