not an angel … ;=)

The word ‘angel’ took on a new meaning in my work … if you’re from my group … or someone i talk to constantly … then you know what i mean … and for the sake of remaining relatively cryptic and not-too-obvious … i won’t explain what it means … you should be able to get it anyways, i.e. if you’re not playing dumb/stupid (like some people i know!) ;=) hehehe ooppps … uncalled for side comment! ;=)
I just wanted to say that i am not an angel … (not a devil either! ;=) … i’m cool with it … i lived my life (so far) working hard for what i have … no one gave me any undeserved favors! true, along the way there were friends and family and even stragers nice enough to lend a helping hand on opportune times … and that helped me get to where i am right now (hmmm … where am i right now?! ;=) … but i’ve never been a teacher’s pet … and i’ve never really kiss up to anyone … it’s just weird having this sort of thing in an environment priding itself of unbiased, objective meritocracy! haha! that’s an oxymoron right there … i think as long as we have ‘people’ managers … (as opposed to robots or humanoids …) … there will always be bias … and it will always be (to some degree) subjective … i guess at the end of the day … or the year (focal!) … woe to us not blessed to be part of the chosen few … woe to us not ‘lucky’ enough to be … angels … ;=)

… not in a melancholic state … well, for now, hope it’ll stay that way … ;=)

hmmm … can’t even remember the last time i blogged … good thing there’s a timestamp on the blogs! ;=) hehe but you get the drift, right? it’s been a long time since i last updated this … been relatively inactive friendster-ing! ;=) and by inactive, i mean … viewing it once a day … or maybe two! ;=)

i’m back in CV and i’m back to my crazy old 7am-4pm-non-stop-meeting schedule … my schedule that having even one full lunch hour is a blessing!  … okay, i’m exaggerating … i do get my lunch hour … but it’s usually hurried and i usually eat in my cube … except maybe for those days that i just feel so lazy and i move meetings around … er … meetings i scheduled (like 1:1s with my engineers! ;=) hehe … i missed my 9-10am start-of-work schedule in FM! i missed sleeping in until 8am! ;=) <well, i compensated for the late morning start … i usually go home late due to CV meetings … haha, justified now? ;=) … being the nocturnal person that i am … i am really a late starter … so coming in at 7am … or 6am on wednesdays … is really a huge huge humongous sacrifice!>

i’m back to my old routines … (well, the days changed a bit …) tuesdays and thursdays: gym or badminton (the gym thing is new as well … ), wednesdays and fridays ALNP activities … monday is a free day for now … until next week when i start my MBA once again! ;=) … Speaking of MBA, it’s my last core subject — finance management!!! — at last, after 4 years … i am finally seeing the last of my core MBA subjects … still a long way to go … 1+ year more … but it’s one term less … and one term nearer to graduation! ;=) it’s also my last chance to meet someone, a.k.a. a relationship potentia! ;=) hehe… people always say that the main reason people go for MBA is to meet someone … well, i beg to be different … this is really through and through my pursuit of higher knowledge and learning … this is purely for personal and career development! ;=) hehehe … that sounded so contrived and well … fake! ;=)

what else happened in the last 2 weeks that i’ve been back? i got sick … i had two of my 3rd molars extracted and then i got infection of sorts … and i got tonsilitis celluritis-whatever …  i was so sick that i can’t even eat … i can only nimble and let the food melt in my mouth … ;=) i think i might have lost 5 lbs in those last 3 days — more pounds lost than 2 weeks sweating it out in the gym! ;=) that was a really good weight loss strategy … not eat … anything! ;=) i would love to stay that that jumpstarted my way into weight loss and ‘better’ body … but sadly, the pounds are creeping back in once i started eating normally again! … maybe i should listen to my friends’ advice, huh? i do have 20+ other teeth … ;=)

still have the tons of stories i mentioned before … hopefully i get to write them down one of these days … and i promise it’ll be about something deeper … with great insights … and paradigm-shifting realizations! ;=) hehe hmmm … i think i have doses of that when i am feeling melancholic about something … not really in that mood right now! ;=) i am happy for some reason … (well, there’s an explanation … but i really won’t tell you!!! ;=) hmmm … maybe when i go for my annual soul-searching trip i get to write down those stories … yeah, maybe … in December! ;=)
