Just got my free slurpee today. If you go to any 7-11 store (in the US at least), you can get your 7.11 oz of slurpee free! Awesome deal, huh?
Let me get back to work. I'll catch up with you later.

Overburdened
I really should not be blogging right now as I am up to my neck in paperwork. But I just need time to organize my thoughts and come up with a killer document. And to be able to do that, I need to take my mind off work for a minute.
Jojo and I watched The Fountain last night. I couldn't figure it out and neither could he. So it's not us, right? We finished the movie and all, but really, it just didn't make sense. I didn't get it. And perhaps it's because of all these work that I'm doing, I could no longer process a storyline that is much more than 2 people meeting, falling in love, and living happily ever after.
So, uhm, for right now, I should get back to constructing takt time and line balancing. So yeah, off I go, I can't wait. Not.

Tulsa, Oklahoma
I've never been to Tulsa until last night. My flight was re-directed to Tulsa due to bad weather in Dallas. We had to wait for a couple of hours until the sky cleared. We arrived in Tulsa around 8pm, and the flight attendant announced that while we can choose to leave the plane, we need to take all of our carry-on with us when we do according to TSA regulations. She also went on to explain that while we can stretch our legs a bit at the gate, we are not allowed to go past security as the Tulsa airport security has already left for the day, so much so that if we choose to go past the security, we won't be able to come back in. I didn't think Tulsa was that small.
Anyway, I didn't leave the plane. Instead, I listened and sometimes joined in the conversation around me. A couple of pilots (one was seated beside me) were passengers and were talking about the protocols for such cases. The other pilot was with the Air Force, so he was talking about handling some of the bigger planes in the nation.
The visit to Phoenix was good except for the fact that there is more work involved. But that's exactly what we want so why am I complaining? Because in the back of my head, I'm already thinking about the vacation in the Philippines.

What a fun, fun day!
And we needed it so much! Last night, we had a blackout in our neighborhood and although I waited (in vain), it didn't get fixed until 6am today. Our friends were out of town, and we couldn't crash into someone else's place now, could we?
Anyhoo, I got diverted there for a sec. I was going to tell you about our day, and what a great time we had at Six Flags Hurricane Harbor in Arlington (about 30 minutes drive from our home). We first tried the Raging Rapids and the Atlantic Panic, and then ventured to the newest attraction -- the Mega Wedgie! Woohoo! What a ride!
There was a lazy river and the wave pool that offered comfort from the crazy rides. And we didn't know what got into us, but we lined up for Banzai Boggans... sounds easy enough. But it didn't feel like it.
(That isn't my picture, we had our camera in the locker the entire time. I just really wanted you to see what I'm talking about here. This is serious stuff.)
What's really amazing is that Gabriel went through each and every ride with us. He really loved the Hook's Lagoon, and I like that one too -- if only for the huge bucket of water falling on your head! Don't look up!
Happy 4th to y'all...

Planning a trip
Planning a trip for business has suddenly become regular. I just booked and reserved flights and hotel for Phoenix for a couple of days in less than 10 minutes. Perhaps I have become so used to doing it.
On the other hand, our trip to the Philippines is drawing near. I am excited and although I have not really had the chance to prepare for it, like what to bring back or what exactly to do while I'm there, I'm sure it's going to be a blast! I just want to go to Boracay although with the ferry sinking and the typhoon season still very much present, maybe not. We'll find out when we get there, as soon as we have our visa appointments sorted out.
Gabriel got another trophy for chess as the camp closed today. He told me he could play me and his dad at the same time, so once I get some spare time, we could do that. I'm not sure anymore if it was chess or boghouse he was referring to.
We had buffet lunch at Maxim's and we've decided we won't be going there for buffet lunch again. Their dimsum remains to be the favorite though (especially since we don't know of any other place that serve chicken feet and spare ribs).
