What a Week!

Last week was one tough week... I have had days where I have limited sleep but last week may be one of the hardest.

I was fortunate enough to be informed that there was a seminar in UP on IT Project Management for Free. It is a big help both on my IT side and Management side so I opted to join the seminar. What pushed me to really do this was the fact that I will be getting templates that will be very useful for my business. The seminar started on Wednesday till Friday and being an insomniac, I wasn't able to sleep properly... here are my total hours of sleep from Tuesday night (maybe Wednesday morning) till Thursday night.

Tuesday - 4 hours sleep
Wednesday - 4 hours sleep
Thursday - 4 hours sleep

I was like a zombie during the seminar and wasn't able to really participate that much, good thing my business partner was also there and he stepped up and managed the group. We were able to finished out tasked and after the seminar, our day didn't end there. We met with a potential marketing partner and discussed about the business till around 11pm. We then went out to have some fun with other friends and partied till around 430 am. We were supposed to go to sleep but I was committed to join an NGO for an outreach. I started volunteering last July and I made a commitment to do an outreach once a month. So after we party, we went to our friend's house, took a bath

Friday - 0 hour sleep

It was quite a challenge to help build houses in QC, when we haven't slept yet. I was kinda hoping to see familiar faces, but there were a lot of new faces and it was nice to mingle with those people. The build ended earlier than expected but it was a relief because I suddenly had to do something for my business. Now this was the most dangerous part... I went to my supplier in Valenzuela to pick up some items to be delivered to our client somewhere in Mandaluyong. While I was going there, traffic was quite heavy on some part and it was boring to death... I started to get sleepy...

There were instances where I would sleep for a few minutes but I was trying to stay awake by splashing water to my face. Yes good thing I have my water bottle with me. Also, I made a few stops on different restaurants just to fill myself with sodas and hope that sugar will help me stay awake. The travel to the client was worst. I was driving along EDSA and cars there have their own mind... When I was near the client, I quickly stopped at 7-11 to buy an energy drink that would, hopefully, help me stay awake till I get home.

I did got home around 8pm and I should be sleeping by then, but I wasn't about sleep right away. There was facebook, some emails, and other sites that I regularly check. I was able to really sleep around 12am and I had a nice and long sleep...

Saturday 10 hours sleep

Total hours of sleep: 22 hours from Tuesday night till Sunday Morning. What a Week!
