From time to time, my mind blanks out. It usually happens when I’ve too much to do. The amount of files I need to look into is not making it fun to focus on one project. I’ve made a resolution during the weekend: I’m going to restore to my early days and be intricately involved [...]

I just visited a Middle Eastern store to get a CD for an associate who is leaving the US. I took Azi’s advice and got him an Arabic CD. The owner of the store informed me she is out of basmati rice. By out, I mean there is a shortage of rice supply in the [...]

Lately, I’m often asked what it would take for me to be working for someone else, be an “employee”, to be precise. That is a very good question: what indeed?
The term “employee” itself makes me uncomfortable. It makes me feel like a commodity, belonging to some- one or some-entity. I love my independence and the [...]

Allergy may be getting to me, after all. I felt lethargic all day and took off from work early afternoon. I tried making up for it later in the evening, but ended up postponing a conference call for tomorrow. Only the other day I mentioned I was over being affected by pollen. Talk about speaking [...]

With Clinton’s win in Pennsylvania, Democratic drama continues. Obama and Clinton are both doing McCain and the Republican party a huge favor by throwing mud and bringing out each others dirty laundry. I’m getting sick of this. The longer it takes to nominate a Democratic candidate, the better it is for Republicans. Democrats are confusing [...]

There comes a time when no amount of caffeine will keep one awake. When the body is overworked or exhausted, she will not heed to any artificial boost to keep her going. She will send signals that she is shutting off before doing so. I encountered this basic equation recently when hectic schedule for the [...]

A Tuesday morning wisdom: it’s wise to stick to a decision once a situation is analyzed and evaluated objectively. Being swayed by emotion, whatever that may be, to change mind is not a wise decision. When in such a predicament, be it professional or personal, one will be in a roller coaster indefinitely. And, too [...]

So, my house warming is nearing. It’s going to rain that evening. The thought of wet shoes is not making it fun for me. Oh well. I’m still undecided whether to cater or cook myself. I doubt if I’ll have the time to do the latter seeing the way things are moving at work this [...]

I’m beyond stressed right now. I met my colleague for a dinner meeting at OK Cafe because I was famished and craved Southern comfort food. I was also looking for a change of scenery for inspiration. I drank 3 cups of coffee to see me through the night. I’m confident we’ll meet the deadline on [...]

I’ve another deadline to meet tomorrow, well, on Wednesday to be exact. But since that deadline is 10am, I’m counting tomorrow as my deadline. These back to back projects are both thrilling and play havoc with my stress.
I love challenges and I thrive in them. The satisfaction of the output and the success at the [...]
