What's Next?

courtesy of Gulf News 2008

Today, I woke up, looked at my cellphone time, its 5:30 and felt confused if its PM or AM. National Holiday ngayon ng UAE, in short alang pasok (no work). So –NO rush in the bathroom,  NO akbar driver or company bus, NO 1hour long drive going to Mussafah, NO J143 urgent-urgent materials-urgent meeting-urgent crane-urgent invoice-urgent -lunch! Al Hamdulilla!


Just finish reading a book about NLP, very interesting!
Also finished the laundry, taken my big breakfast (yakisoba+boogles+rice meal), disposed the trash, organized my bedroom-este-bedspace, read the gulfnews, broken my lamp, broken my slippers, used my new slippers, charged my CP, updated my 2009 to-do-list, daydream,  listened to my fav songs. Now, sitting here thinking what to do next, where to go and when to move :>
I missed my work and my colleagues…
I learned priceless lessons from people I work with;
Example-
  1. I learned from my first boss to look straight in the eyes when talking to big (important) men and never-ever feel inferior, all men are just men (no superman exists!).
  2. My second boss taught me that “there’s no ‘friends’ in business”, treat everyone alike, in the end we need profit not sympathy.
  3. My third boss thought me that we need to note the good things from people, so that when we remember them, we’ll recall what’s good about them (no matter how cruel they are).

 I also learned:
Monita-Monito
  • from ate Christy- to be caring
  • from Karen- to be simple and sweet
  • from kuya Arman- to take things lightly and be happy
  • from kuya Alfred- how to speak maturedly
  • from Ahmad- to appreciate again the beauty of art
  • from Ricky- to act young and free
  • from Gen and Analuz- to be efficient at work
  • from Joseph- to be silent when everyone’s noisy
  • from ate Aysha- how to laugh even when angry
  • from kuya Raymond- how to ignore someone even he’s shouting
  • from Gerwin to look cool even under the hot-hot sun
  • from Ronnie to give your best effort at work
  • Etc, etc, etc.
Well I’ll just go for shopping I think, ADCB just texted I got my November salary. J
Au revoir!
