Day 14: Madness…Period

5 Thoughts I love my job. Shoot me now. I love my job. Oh god oh god please make it stop. I love my job. Extra Thought I have a new found respect for schedulers or anyone who have to proverbially herd cats. I had to arrange a schedule for 2 people AND meet a deadline and I can’t even do it. My colleagues, on the other hand, had to schedule 3 days of meetings with a dozen people, and they worked it all out. Kudos, man. Kudos. Today’s Photo Nothing. I don’t even have time to think about that....

Confession of A Kept Sister

OakMonster.com - Get Along Shirt

You may not think that I am my family’s pariah, but I am. I’m that one sibling you usually don’t bring up in conversation.  I’m the one to be hidden away from view. Or in my case, hidden away in another country altogether. And even that, in the social media age, isn’t far enough, it seems. Some days, it is hard to not think about the pieces of broken sibling relationship on my hands.  Some days, I blame myself. Others, I blame them. Some days, I wish there’s a Get Along shirt that would fit 3 adults across 2 continents,...

Cabin Fever

It’s 11 p.m. on a rainy Bangkok Saturday night. And I ain’t got nobody. Just me in dad’s office, waiting for pictures from the day we scattered my mom’s ashes to upload.

Better not be outside puddle hopping intoxicated or out on the slippery road with drunks behind the wheels. I should definitely count my blessing. Oh well, hell. I’m just going to party with myself then. I’ll go fetch my...

Ibuprofen, wherefore art thou?

If physical pain makes you feel like you’re alive, I am VERY alive today. I’m all sore from working out and dancing about. My voice a little raspy from singing. My allergies, thank you Tylenol Allergy Sinus, was killing me earlier. Sitting down and getting up has been some very ALIVE moments. I haven’t even tried going all up the stairs yet. Coming up from ground floor was already interesting enough. There is no such thing as Ibuprofen in this household. I didn’t even think about that. I seriously am punishing myself without even thinking about it. Ah…nothing brought out...

What if…

What if you’re not destined to greatness? What if you never get anywhere in life but where you are today? Corporate ladder never climbed. Managerial positions never achived. What if you are a failure but you just haven’t realized it yet? Those are a few questions I have asked myself everyday in the past week. People around me seem to all have things to do and places to go. People getting promoted, loving their jobs. People doing what they love and getting paid for it. Friends achieving their life goals of being a writer, a filmmaker, a world traveler etc....
