I like to drink grape juice, but I don't like to eat grapes.

Am a little sick. Sigh. A lot of people are falling sick and germs are flying all around the office. Must get well so I can go to my Bangkok trip next week. Oh, once again, congrats to Bijou on winning the grand prize!!!

Went to AFA with him over the weekend. Meeting up with Bijou and 2 other friends were fun. Bijou, when you called up to say you sending me a surprise, I really couldn't guess what it was. I love the surprise you sent over. :D It's been a while since I last saw them.

Still struggling today. Feeling burned out, and don't want to be at work. Anyone have tips for surviving the stress of being understaffed? I feel like I just can't suck it up today...

Stressed. Crashing. Need a pick-me-up. ><

[ETA] D: ...ask and you shall receive? There was a mommy-email in my inbox not minutes after I posted, and it contained this:

I'm sorry everyone for not writing anything in a long long time^^; last few weeks were kinda difficult for me, especially mentally. and because I'm not really good at confessing, the negative feelings have bottled inside of me and were about to dangerously explode.... yes, I'm pathetic, sorry about that^^; anyway, I'm trying to fight it now, so maybe I'll stay here for a longer while^^ for now, wish me luck^^

( meme about myself )

( about some manga I read now )

sooo loooong!

in the middle of crisis with my only housemate. all about money! i dont have enough money rite now..been working days and nite to save a few bucks. i intend to rent a smaller room to cut some expenses..but she'll never understand..

WHY?? WHY??

are all rich people like that??

Some people can just say the most embarrassing things . Or maybe I just get embarrassed easily. *slaps cheeks*

Will. Not. Get. Sick. Late morning, Odwalla juice, and frequent handwashing as stopgap measures until I get home and can take a shower and a nap.

Can't even find the time and energy to reply to my email and LJ responses...

Everyone's overworked and overbooked and underpaid and fighting internal and external "partners" and struggling against broken tools and awkward systems and if this is just my one corner of one company, I ask myself over and over again why the world does not come to a grinding halt on a daily basis. I think anyone who's worked anywhere, knows exactly how disgustingly disorganized any "organization" is behind the scenes, no matter how polished its finish and how clean its public face. I remember when I was little, I thought the grown-ups had it all figured out, and I'd have to work hard to make sure I didn't mess up when I got into the system -- little did I know that I was actually TRICKED by the grown-ups, and the real world in fact is already messed up anyhow, and has things getting forgotten and being ignored and going unaccounted for and slipping through the cracks ALL the time. As Man-jiejie says, "Where I used to think that the world ran smoothly most of the time and mistakes were the exception, I've found it's more helpful to set my expectations for things to be broken most of the time, and going smoothly as the exception..."

Manager-san is out all next week. That means three days of a possibly hellish time at work. But, at least it will be a short week and there's the Thursday-Friday Thanksgiving holiday to look forward to.

Today's showers and the wind and the cold apparently don't stop our lunchtime soccer players, though. Maybe there's a message there...

I went for a 2 day course that teaches you how to mentor and coach someone. What have I gained out of this? A nagging question in my mind that asks me if this job is really what I want to do. Sigh. It's an interesting course because the trainer was also "coaching" you and forcing you to think about issues, challenging your beliefs and perceptions. In the end, I feel like getting a mentor/coach for myself rathering than coaching/mentoring someone. -_-

It has been raining almost everyday lately......my raincoat don't even got the chance for a dry day =____=

The weather also turned cold and I was so scared that I catch a cold this morning because my nose is feeling wierd orz Other than that I would say I spend most of my free time lately on Koyomi....and of course the anime ^^;;;

I totally neglect my study for JLPT....
だってさ、１級は怖いだもん！！私のレベルはぜんぜん１級じゃないぞ！！！＊自分で言うのかなぁ。。。 orz＊
そもそも、合格できるのはぜんぜん思ってない。。。。。 *sigh....*

Okay. That's it. I can no longer pretend to myself that this is cute, fluffy fun. This show, beyond any shadow of a doubt, utterly demonizes and vilifies women. There is not one major female character (and damn few minor ones) who is not somehow manipulating a hapless, well-intentioned and clueless male.

I like singing. I too, have long awaiting a singing show, but gals, c'mon!!! Open your eyes, here. This is not harmless.

EDIT: Okay, the few women who are supposed to be "good guys" just inadvertently manipulate men and are, incidentally, both bat-shit crazy.

(Heh... I bet most of my flist doesn't even watch it. *pets flist*)

Fun, fun game.

If only my nephew didn't leave for his Marine Merchant stuff, we'd be playing this together. Accompanied with screaming at each other.

But it is a fun game, really.
