... Happy New Year... Welcome 2009
Finally its here...
The 365th day of 2008... which marks the end of another year...
And of course, it means the start of a whole brand new one ahead... *grinz*
Amazing how a new year always gives everyone the elation of new challenges, the exhilaration of great opportunities and the conviction that all things are possible and wonderful in the coming days...
We are untouchable, even by the gloom of the current and future economic climate...
Lets hope this optimism carries through...
Lets hope we are ready for the tests to come...
Lets hope we will all be stronger from this...
I know I'm going to have a great year ahead..
:)
Welcome 2009...

... Swamped... Breather
Came in for a breather, though I really should be sleeping...
Cos of the 10am Management meeting...
*grinz*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just food for thought... from a conversation I had...
With someone I will think is highly successful in his marriage... his wife is one lucky lady... :)
In the mid of a dinner, I asked him...
How did he figured out that his wife is THE one for him...
His interesting reply: "I don't know. I just decide that she's the one I want."
A 3 secs momentary stun on my end...
And I realized how true his words are...
A lot of us are still so bent on our so-called search for our missing half... the one that will make us complete...
That we overlooked that many a times, its as simple as just making a decision and sticking to that for the rest of your life...
Despite the many temptations or hurdles that's going to come along, all we have to do is to stay committed to our initial decision and keep working on it...
Simple and to the point...
How could we have missed that?
Maybe its just human nature to overplay the role of fate and destiny in our lifes...

... Love this song... The Last time
I heard this song twice in Philippines, sang acoustic by the bands...
And its just so beautiful...
That I had to go and search for it... and post it here...
If I ever have a wedding, this will be the song I want to hear...

... Back... We'll survive somehow
Hey people...
*waves*
Just came back from a short getaway...
Its been good... to just be away for a while and sort my thoughts out...
And yeah, its good to be back too... Ive added a lot of angst and tight timelines to my girls...
*Thanks a million... know I'm away not in the best of times... appreciate all the help and effort*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Managed to finish a whole paperback during the trip...
Irony of it?
Its a book about work... hahahaha
Not my work literally...
Its more about how work revolves around this group of people's lives, more than anything else... told in witty sacrasm...
This is an excerpt of it that I dog earred, reflecting a lot on this dilemma that Ive been in for a long time...
(Lynn, in this excerpt is someone who've worked hard to get her way to the top... devoting almost 20 hours a day in the office... and Joe is her trusted assistant. This was a conversation they had after Lynn was diagnosed with cancer.)
"Would you like me to be there during the operation? Or is there something I can do for you afterward?"
"You can win this new business," she said.
"For you, I mean."
"That would be for me," she said. This is it, Joe. This is my life."
He was silent. "You've worked hard."
"Yes," she agreed. She had finished putting on her shoes are was now sitting perpendicular to the table with her hands holding her knees. "Too hard?"
There was a note of vulnerability in the question that he wasnt expecting. But it was also clear, the way she was looking at him, that she wanted him to answer truthfully. "I dont know," he said. "Whats too hard?"
"All these other people have so much going on in their lives. Their nights, their weekends. Vacations, activities, Ive never been able to do that."
"Which is why you're a partner."
"But what am I missing? What have I missed?"
"Have you been happy doing it?"
"Happy?"
"Content. Has it been worthwhile? The work."
"Yes," she said. "Maybe, I suppose."
"Then you may be better off than they are. Many of them would prefer not to be here, and yet this is where they spend most of their time. Percentagewise, maybe you're the happiest."
"Is that how you judge it?" she asked. "Its a percentage game?"
"I dont know"
"But what do they know," she asked, " that I dont know? That if I knew, I would prefer not to be here, too?"
"Maybe nothing," he said.
"Or maybe everything," he added, after a pause. "I work about as much as you do. I dont know what they know, either."
They sat in silence.
Might be confusing for some... cos its a long excerpt...
But i like it... its simple and its asking the question Ive asked for some time...
And then again, I do have a life outside, just that its still a luxury to not touch work on a weekend...
Dont have much of a choice now with the time times ahead...
Lets make it... cos there's no other way...
Jia you la...

... At the wake... Drained
Sorry for MIA-ing...
Grandpa passed away... so I have been at the wake for the past 2 days...
Im totally fine... as is the rest of my family members...
It was a peaceful death, with no sufferings whatsoever...
But again and again, Im reminded that Ill have to make a will of my own for my funeral... which many either laugh or rebukes that its not auspicious to talk about it now...
And then again, the chantings are really getting to me...
*Sigh*
Totally tired... mentally and physically now...
Yeah I know.. Im just here to whine big time...
Ignore me people...
Ill come back when Im feeling nicer...
