Wow, it has been a long time since my last work from home. This was mainly because of transitions and sort of adjusting to the new role. Since I only had one meeting today, I decided to take advantage and work from home.

In the living room, I turned on my Christmas lights, put on a YouTube video on the TV showing a fireplace and some Michael Buble Christmas songs in the background. I also put the air-conditioning on maximum for the full Christmas feeling. Haha.

There are many perks to working from home. I get to save both time and money on transportation, and I don’t have to spend extra on coffee, too!

I also get to cook my meals (which I haven’t done in the longest time) during breaks. Today, I made Filipino Chicken Curry for dinner!

But there are also downsides to working from home. There are so many temptations/distractions lying around the house (the bed for one). And there are no friends to talk to or hangout/have coffee with, which is one of my highlights in a normal working day.

I used to always prefer working from home when I can, but now I sometimes think twice about it. I am grateful though that there’s always that option for me twice a week, and it comes in handy when I visit home (as in Cebu) once in a while! Like next week! I can’t wait to go home and see my friends and family!

For the rest of the night, I watched Voltron on Netflix, and a teeny-bopper movie Kristi recommended that made me ask why I wasted almost two hours on it. Haha. I should have played Octopath instead!

Anyhow, time to sleep! Back to the office tomorrow!
