stir fried thoughts
February 1, 2008yey my bandwidth headache’s over!
so what did i learn from this problem?
1. to start utilizing my Flickr account (because its the only one spported by i.ph)
2. to start uploading all my photos on my Flickr account.
3. to quit being lazy about uploading my photos first to my Flickr account then inserting it to my posts.
4. to check my bandwidth consumption from time to time.
5. to get my own domain…fast! (but i still love you i.ph)
***
so, i had to take down my PhotoHunt: old-fashioned theme photo last tuesday because my entry showed up as an ugly, horrible, heartbreaking BANDWIDTH EXCEEDED the day after i posted it…
but that’s behind me now, so im still posting that photo!
because im damn proud of it!
so here’s my take on PhotoHunt’s "old-fashioned" theme…
yeah, im wearing a native Igorot costume…one of the many indigenous people of the Philippines who reside here in the Cordilleras…here in Baguio City where im currently enjoying a quiet, pollution-free life…
***
im slowly feeling the effects of working 7days a week. i slept past 12 last night but had to wake up at 6am to prepare for the Opening Parade of the Panagbenga (Flower Festival) our company would be joining. why the hell would i join a parade? for marketing purposes. i see it as an opportunity to splash the company brand to the whole of Baguio…scatter as many flyers and brochures…charm as many peopla as i can…i see no reason to sleep until 8am…ive got work to do…
and im tired…
physically and mentally tired…
though im not ready to give up yet, i feel that i do need some quick R&R…
i never had a day off in 3 weeks…ive been sleeping less than 6-hour nights…im out and about everyday on client meetings and barangay council meetings organizing free orientations in their respective districts…putting together proposals for our workshops…helping out with the sample outlines…revising our flyers and brochures…worrying if we have enough promotional posters to go around…pulling my hair trying to reach my sales goals every week…im working real hard…
and im trying to live at the same time…
what scares me is that in the past, i work too hard, push myself too much because i feel that im tired but at the same time i still feel pumped…until at some point, i would suddenly have a breakdown…i don’t want that to happen…
so im gonna take a weekend leave next week…il go to my paternal side’s ancestral house in la union…leave the laptop, turn off my phone and read a good book under one of our flowering mango trees…
im crossing my fingers i get enough courage to leave all the work and appointments for 2 days to my assistant…im ready for rest…
***
btw, amidst all that work, i still do find time to catch some flicks especially on cable television…i often work while at the same time watchiing a movie…oh yeah, multi tasking queen i am! LOLZ
here’s the latest:
1. stormbreaker
2. alvin and the chipmunks
3. the glass house: good mother
and im curious about Cloverfield.

Hey Sarah! Flickr may be the only one available through point and click so far but you can actually drag and drop photos to your text editor as long as it’s a publicly accessible page. So you can also use imageshack or photobucket if you like. Blog on iha! That Igorot costume looks good on yah!

I have wandered back to visit a few more Photo Hunts before the new theme is up and found your beautiful traditional costume. I am glad that you worked out your bandwidth problem so that we could see.
