i know i promised a review post...

I know i had promised a review post earlier... but i just had thoughts i felt like writing --


*finding myself at the wrong end of the pecking order of life:
- tired and happy
- relaxed and happy
- relaxed and unhappy
- tired and unhappy

*the universe is conspiring to give me a message -- improve your office performance, or die! (now even BusinessWeek is joining the cacyphony of voices...)

*thank goodness for small graces (you know who you are... thank you!)


There. That's it for now.

end of another weekend

its just a little more than 12 hours, and the weekend time is over...
good things only last for so long i guess, and i can only hope the bad things last even shorter.

now for some world cup commentary:
- Trinidad & Tobago can kick some ass! Woot!!! That was an unexpected draw with Sweden. And the kind of saves that goalkeeper makes for a great game. Ladies and gentlemen, I beleive we have our dark horse for World Cup '06.
- England and Argentina were expected winners. Though Beckham's performance was under par; just 1 goal for the game, and a free kick tipped over by the other team at that.
- I'm just thinking... if I keep this up... I'm gonna end up watching 9pm, 12mn, and 3am matches. crap. that means groggy mornings and unproductiveness. *sigh* I'll have to start being choiceful about the games I watch.

On other more productive notes... I've decided to embark on language learning. You don't know how helpful another language can be someday. First project: Mandarin.

Next Post Preview: A quick review of Studio 60 and the Sunset Strip (an upcoming Fall TV series on NBC, by the renowned Aaron Sorkin).

tough week, world cup weekend, and lazy saturdays

***yowzer***

it's the end of another tough work week (actually it ended pretty much yesterday... i only just got to post stuff now -- show's how much tough the work has actually been).

without giving too much details... it was more of the same week. got a few stumbling blocks here and there, got a few stuff done. done 5 deliverables, got another 10 more. nothing worth mentioning.

though... the world cup opener was another matter.

***O'le***

damn cool game.
i thought germany would wipe (sweep?) the grass with costa rica... but costa rica put up a good game. though if not for wanchoppe, it might have been a boring game. Lahm's opening goal and the closing free kick from were hairstanding. I do beleive germany has a chance to get very far this year. one can only hope that home country advantage is something significant.

so, 12 hours after the match, here I am writing blog entries... anticipating the next match in another few hours.

i love lazy saturdays.
^_^

distraction

studio 60 on the sunset strip -- thank god for people like aaron sorkin who knows what TV should be all about

quite funny this is.

quite funny this is.

i've been staring at this blank screen for nearly a day... thinking what i ought to write. what's the right thing to say? what's acceptable in a blog? how do i say it? what topic?

then it hit me.
not to be rude, but to use an euphemism -- it's my thoughts. my voice. my blog.

i should write as i please, and write without censor or second thoughts.
and if you expect anything less, then i suggest you move on elsewhere.

how many miles have gone by in these shoes...
