If I were a boy…

May 23, 2010

A guy told me :

You’re different. For a girl, you tackle problems and issues like a man.

Was that an insult or a compliment? By off-chance that it was something positive on my personality, was he saying us girls handle our troubles ineptly? And if ever that was to be perceived in a negative light, was he implying that I’m a b?tch?

Hmmm….

Rainbow Colors

May 10, 2010

Red and yellow and pink and green…. purple and orange and blue… I can see the rainbow, see the rainbow, see the rainbow too..

It’s election day and I’ve done my civic duty early this morning.

Normally as a rule, I don’t blog about politics and religion cause they’re  such controversial topics that they stir the hornet’s nest. I don’t want to receive strongly-worded comments from people who disagree with me. But in this case, I’ll make an exception and make it as “painless” as possible.

No, I’m not gonna tell you who I voted for. But just for the record I have no allegiance to a particular “color”. Let’s just say I like rainbows.

Up until today, I was undecided as to who to vote for President. It was really a toss-up between Candidate Gray and Candidate Beige. I like Gray because I think he has the qualities that I look for in a president but he just doesn’t have the numbers (to win). I definitely don’t (putting it mildly) want Candidate Black and Candidate Fuchsia to win and  the only candidate I know who has the chance to beat them is Beige. I’m lukewarm to Beige but I think the country is better off with him as president than Black or Fuschia. So bottom line is do I vote for who I think is right or do I vote for someone I feel iffy about so people I don’t like won’t win?

In the end, after much thought and weighing, I shaded the circle beside Gray’s name. I’ll still hate it with gusto if Black or Fuchsia becomes the next leader of our country but win or lose I still have to do what I think is right. And who knows, Gray might be a dark horse.

Stressed Out

May 8, 2010

My invites for the day :

  • A wedding
  • A baptism
  • A birthday party
  • A family gathering
  • A night out


Guess how many I attended? None. Yup, you read it right  — nada, zero, zilch. No, I didn’t become a social recluse. I just had to prioritize. The whole morning I was asleep catching up on my ZZZzzzzzs…. The whole afternoon til later this evening I was in the office working. Crap. I’m such a loser. For past couple of weeks,  work has been hectic but manageable. Now, it is downright toxic and oh so stressful. Words like burnout, cloning and career change are now popping into my head. I wish I could rant my ass off here but my paranoia just won’t let me (who knows who might be reading this).
