while everyone's sleeping...

im working.

this always gives the impression im a workaholic when i think im really not. it just so happens that i do what i feel like doing. for example, when im in the office, i dont work during the full eight to ten hours im there. sometimes i sleep, i go out and roam or have long lunch breaks (there are days when i dont work at all and just sit there and do nothing). the only time i work intensely is when im beating a deadline (and i rarely miss a deadline). 

during vacations or out of town trips, i always bring work with me. i brought some work stuff during the surfing trip in la union, during my cousin's wedding back in 2009, during the thanksgiving celebration of a friend in batangas, etc.

and i do work (like now. some say its pretentious to bring work stuff but i really do work). its not like i only work during these trips. i enjoy my stay too but at the same time, i want to remain productive. or in case im in the mood to work, i want to be able to work. the same way that when im in the office and i feel like i want to unwind a bit, i roam or i eat somewhere nice.

anyway, for tonight, this is my tagaytay team
my old lenovo laptop, Grimlock, used to be my travel companion. in the five years ive used it on a daily basis and brought it wherever i went, it only crashed once. now, it sits in my makati office. i still use it daily but i no longer bring it with me because ive replaced it with another lenovo laptop, Diablo, which i also use on a daily basis at home, which is now my current travel buddy.
