Finally have some free time since the year started…with less people at work, work had been extremely heavy. What used to be done by 9 people is now done by 6. Exhausting… plus with the departure of my old boss comes adjusting to the new one. It’s hard to work for someone who gives a lot of pressure, but its harder still to work for someone who is unqualified and doesn’t even want to consider herself a part of this working team. Albeit the shortcomings, at least I have an example of what a leader shouldn’t be like. :-P Not meaning to sound mean, but it’s reality. (This is just the tired me talking…I feel so drained physically and emotionally lately, there’s been no time to rest with my grandmother being bedridden and all that’s happening at work. I desperately need to take a vacation-a real vacation, the outing doesn't count as I still saw that one person thats the root of all my frustrations, and get away from everything for a while…here’s to hoping that everything will be better soon.) I feel that I have a changed in the recent years I've been working though, the people around me have helped me grow, as I now know how to deal with people, with dealing with my frustrations with people and situations. I've noticed that I've become more open and some friends have noticed it too...a bit late for me to learn this skill but as they say, better late than never. :)
Tried yoga a few weeks back at the Urban Ashram…It was a great experience, a muscle awakening experience to be exact. haha A few poses into the class, I got up and went to have a sip of water, to replace the water loss through sweat, and then I saw the clock and was shocked that after N number of poses, we were still less than halfway through the class. I was probably so concentrated in doing the poses correctly that I lost track of the time.
Late last month, we had our annual company outing to Coron, Palawan. The place we went to is very beautiful; untouched still by modern technology. After getting off the plane, there is a (very bumpy) 20 minute bus ride to the pier, then 30 minutes by boat to the resort. The view during the boat ride was spectacular, vies of lush green trees covering the mountains, a mangrove forest and the rock formations on the side…very serene indeed. The rooms we stayed in were pretty basic, there were no TV’s in the rooms. And then there was also no cellphone signal. There was wifi, but only at the dining area, so in the rooms, everything was pretty old school. My roommates and I had fun playing Pictionary and Taboo. Then at night, we went to the video room for some karaoke. Ultimate bonding experience.
Recent realization: 一个人如果得到不理想的结果时大呼大叫或者選擇責備別人，就表示自己处理事情没有把握。
