Maroon 5 has recently announced that they are releasing a new album this September. I felt a little surprised as I didn't feel their absence despite their last album being released back in 2012. They had a pretty successful era with Overexposed plus Adam's appearance on The Voice almost made them very visible on mainstream media.

Nonetheless,they released the first single off the new album,V, called Maps. It was disappointing for me but it's not that bad. It has grown on me quite a bit but I still consider it as one of their weaker singles in their discography.

They have released another new song which will be the second official single called It Was Always You and the song is way better than Maps.

Despite their inconsistency so far,I am still looking forward to this album.

We've been given a special homework in our monthly meeting where we had to give our initial description for each member of the team based on the words given by Forbes as the type of people that are best for the workplace. The choices were very limited and it was difficult to pick at first but I think I was able to select the correct adjective for all of them. We also had to give our final assessment in case our decisions changed and we had to give a reason why we chose that term.Submission is due in two days but since I have no more work days for the rest of July,I'll be working on it tomorrow.

I might have to postpone my plans to go out tomorrow. It's my younger sister's birthday anyway so there will be a lot of food! I also need to save money so I can watch a movie on Thursday.

What a horrible day. I can't even talk about it.

7/27/14

I can't believe the month is almost over! Things at work has been quite a handful especially since the renovation is now on its third phase and I've been piling up on my unnecessary errors. I just wish I could keep it down for a bit.

7/25/14

Had a blast with my officemates today! We originally planned to watch a movie in Makati but due to some circumstances, we decided to watch in Megamall instead. I became hesitant since it was far and very inconvenient for me but I didn't want to miss out on the fun and these rare opportunities to bond with my officemates so I went along.

We watched Under The Skin, an indie/art type of film that features Scarlett Johansson. It's not the type of movie that I would typically watch or recommend and I almost find it boring but the whole experience was fun and the time I spent with my colleagues made up for it.

We had late dinner at a client's restaurant since we don't go there often. I'm already looking forward to our next bonding moments!

We have transferred to a new work space last night since our office is under renovation. Our team was transferred to one of the meeting rooms and what I don't like about it is that it has no aircon so it is very hot.I'm just worried about the heat especially during the weekends or on our shift sice they bturn the aircon off sometimes. Hopefully, the renovation will be fast so weca get back to normal.

7/22/14

Just committed another error this past week and it is becoming frustrating.

Now,we have another new client that just came in ad my errors started to pile up again. I don't know what to do now. Sigh.

7/20/14

We still have at least 10 more days to go before August but I cannot wait for the month to end.Sometimes,time feels like it's moving too fast and there are times when it is very dragging I've committed so many faults this month and I want to move on from them as soon as possible.

I've been having scary dreams lately and it's not exactly because of any frightening creatures appearing or whatever but I've been dreaming of situations that are very specific to a person I know. It's something that I'm trying to avoid since it is a very familiar situation and it hurt me a lot back then. Though I have moved on already, it's too soon to have that feeling again.I know that I might not even get to know this person for a long time so I don't want to risk my emotions again.

7/18/14 - 5 Seconds Of Summer

An upcoming band is set to rule the music world and they're quickly getting success and popularity. 5 Seconds of Summer, despite getting comparisons with other current boybands such as One Direction,aims to make a name for themselves with the release of their self-titled debut album.

They already hit it big with their lead single, She Looks So Perfect, a catchy pop-rock anthem and their follow-up, Don't Stop. They've worked with other artists like All Time Low is another artists I like. 

The deluxe edition of the album contains 16 tracks that are mostly upbeat songs to rock out to and some meaningful melodic songs that will tug on your heartstrings.

At their young age,it is hard for them not to be compared to other young bands like 1D but what I like about them is they're more mature in terms of their music and they actually play instruments. I am sure that we will be seeing more of them.

Top tracks: End Up Here, Heartbreak Girl and Kiss Me Kiss Me

I'm so glad the week is over!There was a typhoon that hit the country this week but we're all safe. There were severe damages throughout the whole city but I'm so thankful that there were no major damages in our house. I was even able to go to work during the day of the typhoon as it left the country quickly in the afternoon.At least my perfect attendance record at work is still on track.

I almost caught 2 guys in the building washroom doing something naughty. It's my first time to experience something like it and I'm afraid it won't be the last if I continue to get stuck in my shift.

7/14/14

A typhoon is supposedly hitting the country tomorrow and it's reportedly a major one.I am very worried for our safety. I don't want to be absent/late for work and also, I am afraid of flooding inside our house again. The thought of having our items destroyed again is very terrifying.

7/11/14

Today marks the end of our English training which means that I'll be back to regular work tomorrow. A part of me wants the training to never end but that is obviously not possible so I'll have to face reality again. It has been a fun four days spent on refreshing our knowledge on the English language. Learning sessions are often boring for me but this is honestly one of the best training I've had and I couldn't be any happier than to learn with my fellow trainees.

We're also supposed to pick our sched for next month and it seems like I'll be stuck in the mid shift. *sigh*

We had our monthly team meeting today. I was initially worried as I expected to see many mistakes committed by me. I didn't really do so bad but not so good either. I just found out that one of our top performers have already resigned and that will make it harder for us. But I am still determined to improve.

7/9/14

We've been having our English training at work this week. It's actually fun and it's a nice break from work. The best part about it is that I get to leave the office early like before since it is held in regular shift hours.

I received an offer from a headhunter today for a job opportunity.I was caught in a surprise but then I realized I haven't updated my resume in one of the job portal sites I use to look for jobs. I initially declined by saying I am currently employed but she replied that she actually knows I am employed ad even mentioned the name of my former company. She casually told me the position which is a job title that would actually look good on my resume and something that I might actually want to be in the future. I replied by saying Ill be thinking about it ad keeping my options open.

I'm trying to find out more about the company she mentioned but I can't seem to find any info.I did find one vague website that seemed to match the description of her company but the details are so vague and generic as if it was just a front. There's no contact details and all just flowery words. It's not like I am actually looking forward to switching jobs right now but it's nice to have an option waiting for me especially with my underwhelming performance at my current work. Her messages actually seemed very informal and looks like another scam.

I've been having plenty of doubts with my work recently.We were all asked to fill out an evaluation form and it just occurred to me how many things I want to say but couldn't. Though I understand that we can share to each other, there are some circumstances that even our superiors cannot do anything about it and that somehow frustrates me. I don't want to be seen as someone that is hard to please but I can't help but notice these little things when my performance is affected by it. I'm performing below my personal expected output and I'm a better person than that.

7/4/14

I watched 22 Jump Street earlier. It was a funny movie and Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum has good chemistry. I was supposed to watch Transformers but after reading so many bad reviews and knowing that it's 3-hours long, I decided to watch this instead. I only watched the first film on DVD and I barely remember it,probably because of the poor quality of the copy I got so I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy this one. It had a lot of humor and cheers of laughter was heard from the audience. A nice way to spend this day-off.

7/3/14

Haven't posted an update recently because I've been quite busy and I admittedly tend to forget. Things are slowly falling to pieces and my routine is somewhat stable which is something I'm grateful for.
