where is amor, anyway?

you might be wondering where the hell i've been the past days...
i just disappeared from everybody's life...

well yes, i've been alone most of the time...
alone not in the sense that i'm away from everybody...
it's just that i have my own world even when everybody's around..
complicated?

well, i guess it's time for me to tell stories about it..
here's what keeps me away from everybody...

1) WORK - i was busy preparing for the 2009 budget for my department. my boss says it was
easy. yes, it was that even a highschool student could do that. the problem is that my
department has a lot of items in many accounts... and explaining it eats a lot of my time. my
offices often teases me that i no longer exist. i was physically there but i was not talking to
them. i'm sorry.. i just don't want to be distracted. it's a critical thing... if i miss one digit or
mistakenly hit the wrong number key(especially for the higher digit), it'll be a mess... i started
working on it 2 months ago. i get the pressure the most when it's almost review time... and i
get the stress when it's not yet over... i mean the whole budget time... until it's final.. i cannot
help thinking if it's already enough or whether my explanation is convincing...

2) PARTIES - it's christmas time... lots of parties... friends', organizations', department's,
company's, and some invitations...

3) PHOTO OPS - still connected with christmas events... i am into photography and lots of places
to shoot. got invitations from different hobbyists like me... few days ago, i've met 3 indios, my
flickr group... then next week, i'd be having a night shoot with few friends who're also into
photography... btw, please visit my flickr photostream...

4) GETAWAYS - since i've been busy, i grab every free time i have... i go somewhere to relax on
weekends or at night with different companies... or sometimes i just brin myself to
coffeeshops..

5) MALLING - the past days was a rush... my officemates and i have to rush to malls for
christmas stuffs... just like other people... for the parties, gifts and etc... i will be out again
tomorrow with my sister... we have to look for a good present for pa & ma...

that's it... i don't know...
i still had other activies which were lighter...
and cold no longer remember...
but the 5 were the main reasons why i have been away for weeks...
definitely, i'd be away again mid next week...
and this time, it'll be relaxing...
fresh air again...
beach...
my old room..
my home...
i'll be home for new year... YES!
