-la-di-da-

i chose breaking free as the first song of the day. needed something light. something i wouldn't mind listening to on a friday morning. i came to the office a lil bit earlier today - hitched a ride with mom who was going to makati.

it feels just like any friday, i don't want to work (don't i always?) and it seems that God is on my side, leaving me with only 39 emails to deal with on the first round. not a bad way to end the week.

i haven't really started on them yet, but i know i can finish them in a little while. i was talking to nats over the phone a while ago, discussing how we're going to go about later on 'coz we're going for dinner later over at omakase. spicy tuna salad. yum, can't wait.

realized some stuff while talking to her a while ago... "no matter what your job is, (unless it's field work), it does entail sitting in front of a screen (whether desktop or laptop) and emailing all day long. so, the people who keep on saying this job or that job is secretarial, dude, every job is secretarial, every job is administrative, whether you like it or not.

everyone has just got to make a living.

i've been doing some thinking lately. i've come with some conclusions and more questions for myself and other people. but then, something i again realized is that no matter how much i try to deny it, i do live in the shadows of what was taught and ingrained in me when i was young. this is bad and that is good, this is tolerable, and that is not...

there are just some things that you cannot change.
there are just some things that you have to live with.

i thought the other day that i was trying to compare myself too much to other people and that is way too wrong. i am myself and i am good at the things that i am blessed with. i should be happy and move on.

get over it.

some people have it, some don't. but that doesn't mean i don't have anything.

i have something.

anyway, moving on, i received 2 parallel news yesterday regarding the promotion of 2 friends in their respective positions.

congratulations dustin and keith. :)

can't think of anything else.

later!

I object. Even when I'm doing field work, I'm still seated and typing all day long. Though my normal work day is spent typing up documents rather than emailing
