#079 in a temporary state of melancholy, sitting in the conference room, etc.
mood: temporarily sad *sniff*
music: love sonnet XXXI as read by Julia Roberts and Andy Garcia
if I only could: turn back time
…
i felt like grinning in such irony, sitting in the middle of a boring meeting, in one of those feel-important, let’s-save-the-world-and-profit-at-the-same-time, your-inputs-are-highly-appreciated kind of meetings, planning how to feed the world more cavities and malnutrition pretending that this was as serious as stopping the world from going into a nuclear war.
i inwardly laughed at how serious the presenter was in tackling the issue of declining market shares and how to ruthlessly win back lost territory with strategies that would surely make the enemy go into meltdown. and this is a war that is never going to be fought in any desolate region on the face of the earth, but in every household with a TV, in the supermarket, and on the roads where billboards are sprouting up like weed.
It was a biting wit that refused to let go of me; in the past couple of months it has been creeping into my consciousness until I couldn’t ignore it anymore. This was not my dream. This was not what I signed up for. Don’t get me wrong, I do like my job. but the significance of it has entirely been lost on me. im still trying to figure out where I will be able to find that worth.
…
fact #1: problems are directly proportional to a person’s age. The older you get, the more complicated they become.
fact #2: men can’t multi-task.
fact #3: they’re better left alone (refer to fact #2) when busy.

so true! men couldn’t do multi-tasking. kasi ang mga girls pwedeng mag-manicure, makipag-usap sa phone, watch tv & send a SMS all at the same time. hahaha.
miss you na sis. hope to see you again.

yung asawa ko kayang mag multi-task pero only when you are a window he can minimize. hehe, peace, daddy.
iris, i don’t want you to be sad…but i understand how one can easily get lost listening to that sonnet. i love it, too.

uhm, i beg to disagree.hehe.
kikita ako ng almost six digits this month dahil sa pagmu-multi-task sa trabaho.
pero jen, i agree dun sa example mo. i can’t talk and watch tv/dvd at the same time, tapos maggupit ng kuko at magtext.
ilan ba kamay mo?hehe.

#2 and #3. How true… just look at my dad. :p It’s also the reason why guys are so easy to catch staring at other girls. They can’t pretend that we’re the focus of their attention while “focusing” their attention somewhere else. :p
