Hell Week

Another "Hell Week" in the life of Mr. Capul.

Starting Monday, there were all sort of problems--car woes (again!), thesis, and pure unadulterated stress.

Monday was a holiday. Ninoy Day so its holiday for everybody. I started scheduling with my Thesis partners since were presenting to our adviser this week's Wednesday. Stressing kasi medyo busy bisihan na naman sila! So I started my piece na muna.

Tuesday came. It was Quezon City day so no working days for QC people. My mom asked me to go and take the cars, and have them tuned up! Hindi ako maka-hindi even though I had to finish something in the Thesis. And boy, another car woe.

What supposed to be a brief car tune up ate up my whole afternoon! Nagpa-change oil kasi ako, but when the mechanics took a second look, nakita na nabasag na daw recently yung isang engine support ng car!!! Badtrip!!! So I had to stay there for three more hours just to watch them replacing it with a new support!

The more stressing part is I have to meet my thesis mate at around 6pm (...unholy hour for a holiday) in PIA. Eh natapos na ako sa tune up, around 5:30pm na!

So yun, meet up about Thesis. We decided to continue it online since the guy still has to go to his graveyard shift. Naku, walang tulugan. I was doing all the left over parts in the docu all night, until Dom went online around 3am na!

10am that day (Wednesday), we decided to meet up in PIA so we can wrap things up and present it to our adviser. Just as bad luck would have it, na-suspend yung class because of a storm!!!

It was also Ade's birthday and she was gonna treat at Wham Burger in Robinson's Place. I was really tempted to go, but yun nga, I still have the Thesis priorites... AND the bad weather to discourage me from going. :(

Anyway, we decided to stay in the office and finish up the remaining chores. I finally got home around 9pm, and took a quick 2-hour nap. When I woke up, I went straight to the Thesis preparation again. Wala na namang tulugan until I got to PIA around 8am the next morning. This time, the plan was for Dom and I to go to UST and present the current program to the adviser. Eh plan dapat, 10am nasa UST na. Eh Dom arrived in PIA, around 11am na because of stomach ache. So rush na naman, since she has to go over the docu.

While I was printing our work, the office guard approached me to tell that the car's tail light was left on! I immediately checked on it, pero naka-sara naman ang switch. It turns out, nag-short na yung break switch kaya kahit hindi ka nakatapak sa break... naka-red pa rin yung tail light! Take note, yung Honda na yung ginamit ko ah! Hindi yung usual suspect (Toyota! ;p).

And I only discovered that it was the case when Dom and I were already parked at UST na! So medyo kailangan bilisan namin kasi baka ma-discharge yung car batteries!

We finally met up with the prof, and new adjustments has to be made, albeit minor ones. It was actually a good meeting, but the pessimist in me is over reacting... until right this very moment. I have to get this done ASAP! :(

After the UST trip, I dropped off Dom in Edsa and went back to PIA to have the car checked by Mang Boy (the office driver and my driving mentor ;p). So yun, dinala namin sa talyer at gastos na naman! Haaaay!

When I got home, I was exhausted. I told myself, "Fuck it! Break muna!!!"

It was the first time I got to "really" sleep this week. The last 72 hours before that, my total sleeping time was around 8 hours. Badtrip noh!?

So there it is! My own version of hell week. My friend Che was also having a hell week of her own, including having her PC crash on her when there's plenty of deadlines, and shooting herself into a manhole. I tell you, people can really have bad days! LOL! ;p

And forgive my blogs right now. I just kept on typing things. I have no time for proof reading at the moment! ;p
