little blessings

part of my dread for today was the fact that clients were supposed to tag along in the fieldwork. the dread is due to the fact that first-day visits are always test-drives. that's when we work out kinks in the methods. it can run smoothly or not. it's the most awkward day, and the longest, and the least seamless. not the best day to have clients watching.

so imagine my joy this morning when i was informed that clients had to be someplace else and could not join the fieldwork.

fieldwork went well though. smoothly. almost seamlessly. a very good and optimistic preamble to the rest of the project. my cold-beaten throat got sorer though from hours of interviewing.

S1 and i checked out the tokidoki limited edition designs in onitsuka and left the store in dismay. the shoes are way too expensive. at Php6-8000. ridiculous.

i ended up satisfying my need to buy some kind of treat by checking out the newly opened Fully Booked. i got the faerie trilogy by Holly Black.

tomorrow's last day of fieldwork for the week. i believe it's all going to go well.
