2 weeks out

I was out of office for 2 straight weeks. Meaning, i was working on the field for 2 weeks. i really hoped it was a 2 week vacation. Nevertheless, i managed to see and visit nice places. I traversed more than half of the mindanao island. First stop was Davao, then Cagayan de Oro, then Dipolog, and last stop was Zamboanga. Boy, what a trip, we have to get up early and catch a quick breakfast to take a min 3 hrs and max 5 hours land trip. I saw one of the famous tourist resort in Dipolog City, Dakak. We just had snack there and picture taking. We marked the place as one of the options where we can hold our regional meetings. Then, we went to see the historical place, Dapitan, home of exile of our national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal. Its amazing to know some facts about his life in exile as the tour guide re tells them which obviously i did not remember from college subject, PI 100, shame on me! Well at least, now I know. Aside from the side trips, my fieldwork turned out to be productive. The info and data i gathered will be useful in our upcoming business planning by September. I really missed my office cubicle, our breaktime, lunch out and my apartment room.

Well, that 2 weeks is done now... And im ready to finish the month with good output in time for the planning. When i returned to Manila yesterday, i went straight to 2 meetings. I did not have the time to check on the pile of papers on my table, worse, was not able to open my email inbox. I imagined it to be on red and some mails have bounced since i was not able to open it everyday. Plus some junk mail, of course, has added up to the line. I really want an application that will automatically organize emails and filter it to good and junk mails. Is that impossible?
Well so much for that wish, got to tidy up my maibox first.
