the chill

yes this is an update of my life.

today woke up with a feeling of extreme chill. checked the maps and it says outside was 6 degrees.. didn't believe it at first since it was 10+ in the past few days. well things got interesting when i stepped out and made my way to work. it was indeed much colder today. lesson: trust Google.

the chill aside, today was a work day of unique schedule.. 90% of my time in meetings. had an interesting strategy meeting as well. quite productive i would say. managed to get some of my initiatives pushed forward as well. however, that would mean slightly more work in the weeks/months to come. apart from that, i too am taking another leap of faith into some management stuff.. no, unfortunately not a promotion but rather extra responsibility. wonder how this will work out though. time will tell.

time really flies. it feels as though i just came to the UK for my work/leisure trip but in fact i am almost halfway through already. nonetheless i think i am still making full use of my time so far. still more exciting things to do and places to explore in the coming couple of weeks. until next time then, cheers.

erotic weather

yes this is an update of my life.

one week into the UK and also one week into Cambridge. definitely loving the cooler weather here as compared to back home. pace of life is pretty different here as well. though the weather is preferred here, i am pretty amused at how erotic it can be. it can be hot and sunshine in the first hour then pouring in the next before going back to hot and sunshine in the hour that follow. i think the comforting thing is that the rain will not be for long.. hence not ruining my plans over this past weekend.

managed to do punting (guided though not me doing the punting), explore numerous colleges in the university, wandered around museums, eating tons of good food. i guess (or rather i hope) i am spending well within my budget. judging from the cash i have in my wallet currently i would think so, hence that's a relief. good break this weekend despite some lingering worries from elsewhere. ready to take on another week, a more hectic week. until next time then, cheers.
