Random Thoughts

For several years, I used to ignore what I really want for myself and prioritized my responsibilities to my family. Every time I bought something for myself I used to feel guilty thinking I should've spend it for my family instead.

For the first time in my life, someone made me realized that sometimes having yourself a little importance and letting yourself get what you really want isn’t such a bad idea after all. It’s amazing how it’s fairly easy for her to push me in what I want. Maybe she’s not aware of it, but she really don’t know how much influence she have or how her actions affect mine. Actually, I was a little bit surprised how my mom was happy to know that I gave in for myself and told me that I totally deserved it.

We've been teammates even before when we were still in first touch platform, but we never noticed the existence of each other. Who would have thought that she’ll play an important role in my life? With her, I can be me. She doesn’t have to be rich, brilliant or perfect… just her being that caring, thoughtful and her sense of humor is enough. No dull moment ever when I’m with her.

To the person who was there the first time I was admitted to the hospital, who was always there during my lowest moment cheering me up and still here, who brought out the best in me and to the one who made a big difference in my life without knowing it… Thank you!!!... ^_^

if not me, then who would be?..

An excerpt from the book Someone Like You by Sarah Dessen: Halley and Scarlett have been best friends ever since they met. Halley has always been the quiet one; Scarlett braver and more outgoing. Halley has always turned to Scarlett when things get rough, and Scarlett has always known just what to do. It’s the perfect set up. But everything changes at the beginning of their junior year. Scarlett’s boyfriend is killed in a motorcycle accident; then she finds out that she is carrying his baby. For the first time ever, Scarlett really needs Halley. Now Halley has to how to be strong for Scarlett. It won’t be easy, but Halley knows that she can’t let Scarlett down. Because a true friend is a promise you keep forever. ~~ This is definitely not a book review. I think I’m not good at it. I just realized while reading and after finishing it, that I can relate to the character of Halley. I remember when I was a kid, I don’t have a best friend to be called. There’s no kid in my h

Things about Book Lovers

Some people never understand my fondness on reading a book. I even found myself keeping secret when buying books, making sure the price tag was neatly removed and receipts were put in trash.. it's because I had these feeling some people may not understand me spending money on books when there are more other things to be priorized or more valuable than it. Here are the list I think only book lovers would understand.. We know the uniqueness of a book. We know it will always be different than any other movie adaptation. It's not that we want to criticize those movies, we know that they had put a lot of work for that. They would never understand our disappointment when our expectations wasn't met after watching the movie knowing we had read the book. Having a hard copy.  Nowadays, reading any books you want is so easy thru ebooks, ipad, kindle, etc. I admit, I've been a fan of ebooks for some time, as my budget limits me from buying books most of the time.

bitter or what ?!..

Why does people can’t just be happy with other people’s achievements? Why they have to compare themselves to others if they didn’t get what they had expected? I just don’t get it!.. We had just received our performance rank for the last quarter of fiscal year 2011. A few days ago, it’s been a talk in our office. Everyone is a little bit excited about it because it has an equivalent performance incentive depends on your ranking. I didn’t expect anything because I don’t want to get disappointed again, just like what happened when they announced the benefits roll-out for the fiscal year 2012. One more thing, I didn’t expect anything because of what I have been through for the first quarter of FY 2011. I thought that it could have some impact on the performance ranking. Anyway, here’s the good news on my part. My supervisor congratulates me because I got a higher rank among the peer group compared last fiscal year. She was happy about it considering my warning status before. She s
