So How Are You?
Since I’m in yet another dry spell, I figured this is a good
time to get reacquainted with my readers (if any) and start good vibes with by asking the common "how are you".
Work
has been monotonous and rife with politics. I have to deal with our
office
becoming a tabloid rumor mill. Funny how much people judge you based on
assumptions they have of you. I daresay how much do they know me ba?
I’m not telling them to look at themselves before singing the Eric
Clapton blues, you know, about accusing others, because I’m assuming
they’re smart enough to know that cliche and to put that into practice.
To think that "professionalism" is such a vogue word, its principle is
often elusive to those who tries to project it. And before you scream
"hypocrite" I haven’t criticized my boss (who doesn’t belong to the
rumormongers). I can’t say say the same for those band of rumormongers. Don’t they have anything better to do? I’m sorry about letting off some steam and I’m not going to do this often, but I just needed to vent.
I find my respite, during my
free time, either by blogging or by being buried in a book and being tuned out of the
surroundings. This habit led me to finish many books: 7 in total since
Harry Potter 7 got released, and I’ve yet to read Harry Potter 7.
Then there’s web design, a course I take on weekends. I thought last
week was the deadline for my web design projects. On Friday night I
meticulously applied all finishing touches, readied the project for
submission, only to learn that the instructor intended to give us a
week extension. And I slept 2AM because of FINISHING ON TIME! ARGH! As
a result of cramming, I felt groggy the whole weekend. On the brighter
side, I’m happy to announce that I’ve become
quite better at Photoshop than when I started. Our next subject is
Macromedia Flash and I can’t wait to learn that. I may even study in
advance.
Among all the work, study, and community service, I hardly have time to
play videogames. But when I have found the time, I play a few hours of
Dragon Quest VIII (which I intend to finish) and Sam and Max (the first
3 episodes I’ve beaten, and I’m currently at the 4th episode). On the
other hand, I’m less busy this week than the previous, so I’m trying as
much as I can to make this week fun-filled. As for the 7 books I’ve
just finished, I might write about them soon. My next book? Probably
Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk.
So, how are you guys doing?
