Dilbert

I love Dilbert. I think he rocks! I'd like to share some of his rules of order:

On the keyboard of life, always keep one finger on the escape key

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience

After a salary rise, you'll have less money at the end of the month than you did before

If it wasn't for last minute, nothing would get done

I don't have an attitude problem, you have a perception problem

Time to go!

Waiting sucks.
I've been waiting for 45 mins.
My patience is wearing thin.
I'm leaving.



It's time to restart the PC

The wonders of technology especially computers. We are so dependant on them at work that they could either make or break your day. It seems like they are the masters and we are slaves to them. How pathetic!

You can never trust them because they always frustrates and dissapoint you when you show a lil bit of trust and satisfaction.

The wonders of technology... should we marvel at them, or curse them?

Astro Junkie

Over the weekend, i thought that the monthly subscription to Astro was quite worthwhile.

I caught 3 movies and 4 reality series.

MIB II, starring the prince of Bel Air himself Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. I was a disgusted in the beginning because the alien was very snakey. I hate snakes and am terrified of them. I kept both feet up thoughout the movie and walked around the house with slippers on, just in case.

After MIB II was this movie titled Old School and it stars Luke Wilson. The movie ain't that great. The only reason i sat through the movie was to watch Luke Wilson. I think he's such a hottie!!

Finally I watched Primal Fear for like the 5th time. It stars Richard Gere and a lawyer and Edward Norton as the accused victim. Excellent performace by both actors.

The first series on reality program was Simple Life. I don't think Paris Hilton is a bimbo. I just think that she's ignorant - and ignorance is NOT bliss. At least her best friend Nicole Richie knows what Wal-Mart is. And someone please feed some food to Paris. She looks like as if she's going to break in two anytime!!

Young, Posh and Loaded. I think it should be made illegal to have so much money to splash around. I think it's insane to pay 45,000 pound for a car. Especially if the driver is only 18. Geez!

For Love or Money 3. Do they really believe that they can get to know a guy in a matter of few months, and be engaged and live happily ever after? I think internet dating is a better way.

Then there's The Apprentice. It's sick that sex still sells. Fear Factor. Was it really cow eyeballs that they were chewing? Ewwwww!

Who's to judge?

So what if i stayed home on a Friday night? So what if i ate alone in a cafe? Or i went shopping myself? Or caught a movie by myself?

So what if i stayed home again on a Saturday night?


Do i really want to know the answers? Do i really care what others' think about me and my actions?


Should i try to explain that it is perfectly alright to stay home throughout the weekend? That it's perfectly normal to have a meal alone, and still be able to enjoy yourself. That catching a movie by yourself can be quite a wonderful experience, and not daunting.

It's a Saturday and I will be staying home again tonight. I hope there's something good on satellite tonight.

Chain Effects

I was feeling very frustrated towards the end of my working day yesterday. I was frustrated because:

I didn't managed to complete my CI by 6:30pm

I didn't managed to complete my CI because I was dealing with a lot of media owners for 2005 brand plans

By the time i was done with the last media owner, it was 5:30pm. I had an hour to complete my CI

As luck would have it, the figures did not tally and the difference was 1,700.

And i got a movie to catch at 7pm. It was 6:55pm and the 1,700 bucks still missing, I was in no mood to catch the movie.

So i wasted 10 bloody bucks. I can't even enjoy the simple pleasures in life. It must be my karma.

How sad can my life get?

My mood didn't improve much this morning. So i put on my new colourful blouse i got from Bangkok 2 weeks ago. It made me feel better for a while as i recalled the shopping i did there. The good friend i caught up with there. The fact that i got along pretty well with her boyfriend. The cute Thai guys. How i left Bangkok with 50cent in my pocket. And most important, there was the meeting with ultra cute Utt of MTV in JJ Market.

I'm feeling better now as it is. I think the day will be OK.

As of now, i need to prepare myself for CI. It's like a war zone out there.

Dreams...

Usually I have dreamless nights. Most probably because i'm mostly almost dead by the time i crawl into bed. Even on the rare occasions that i dream, it is rarer that i ever remember what i dreamt about.

This morning was a bit different. I remembered a major part of my dream. Which goes like this:
1) Someone in my family won the lottery
2) Not sure how much it was, but i remembered that each sibling was given about 1 million bucks each
3) And mom said we're all going on a world tour. YAY!!!

However, for the life of me, i cannot recall the 'number' that was in my dream. I'm kicking myself real hard for this... i think it was a 6 digit number... is there a 6 digit lottery number for that matter? I thought it was only 4? No?

Arrrgggghhhh!!!

Here's a list of my to-do list when my parents give me the 1 million bucks:
1) Buy the Alfa Romeo that i've been dreaming off. A red or a midnight blue would be super
2) Go to Russia, Egpyt, Sounth America, New York, and backpack Europe again
3) Be a good humanitarian and do charity (being in the advertising industry, my karma needs all the help i can get)

Arrrrgggghhhhhh!! I still can't recall the number!!

Rain Rain Go Away

Looking out the window i can see that it's pouring outside.

I wish I was in bed now. Snuggled under the blanket. Listening to my radio. Or reading a book. Or just simply looking out to the world and think.

Wishful thinking. At this moment, I've to get back to work.

Hmmm...

I created this blog yesterday because I had so much going on in my head I just needed a place to let it all out - in a legal way, and without hurting anyone in the process of all.

That was yesterday night...

Now it's a different story. Not that there's nothing going on in my head anymore, but i'm just kinda not bothered by it - at the moment.

Now, I've more important to worry about - how to write a certain email to a client telling her that things that are not suppose to go wrong, had indeed went wrong and there's nothing we can do about it.
