Yesterday was just another one of the usual humdrum workdays we have. I did see the company doctor. I asked for a prescription for my cough. Aside from the usual cough meds, he prescribed Loratadine. He thinks my cough may be an allergy. Must be all the dust that's been picking up because of the dry weather. It's been really hot these past few weeks. Feels like a heatwave comin' on. Weather feels more like a drought starting instead of summer lazily droning on. The only time of day that you'll probably feel relieved would be around 3 in the morning. By 5 am, the temperature starts rising again. Want to check out the weather real-time? Go to Manila Observatory's Climate Studies Division webpage. It' pretty kewl :-D You can view PI weather presented in graphs and stuff.
On second thought, something out of the ordinary did happen yesterday. I did meet someone yesterday. While brushing my teeth at the company men's room, the guys beside me asked out of the blue if I was "Ed". Now naturally I would be hesitant to reply, since I answer to the nick Edu most of the time. Only a few people called me Ed. Even the big great Nick Crawford calls me Edu, although it sounds more like "eeedoo" when he says it.
Anyway, I tell the guy "Yeah, I'm Ed." He then introduced himself as the person who recently left tags on my shoutbox. Man! What a small blogging world it is. Well, it was nice to be acknowledged like that. I mean, I'm a nobody here in the real world. I don't call attention to myself. I pretty much keep to my own company. But I'd say around 70% of the people here know me (at least by name). My wife's popular with everyone, that's why. She organizes company events and stuff. Makes her visible all the time. So, since we got married, you could say my stature changed. You could say I was almost famous -- LOL.
Gibbs, keep blogging man! If you would be open to some unsolicited advice, here it is: When you're blogging don't hold anything back. Just type away about all your thoughts. People who read blogs can't see your face, so they form an image of you through the personality that shows in your blogging. The more Au Naturel, the better. Keep it up, man. :-D
