Time Never Moves Slow Enough For Me To Catch Up With It

I just took my Annual Physical Exam last night. I really hate needles. They freak me out. As a kid, going to the doctor was one routine I feared. I'd always imagine and think of ways to escape the inevitable piercing my shoulder would experience. I hate injections. They hurt. Funny, 'coz awhile ago it was me doing the comforting. An officemate asked me to sit beside her and I was massaging her back, trying to make it easier for her before the needle plunged right through her skin. Hmmm. I suddenly remembered my dad bribing me with a King Hiss Masters of the Universe action figure just to allow myself to get injected.

I've been working hard, making sure that our employees are as comfortable as possible in taking their physical exams. It's a lot of hard work, attending to the doctors and their staff, buying their food and drinks, checking up on them now and then, coordinating with the different buildings when it comes to power supplies for the x-ray vans, materials, parking slots and the like, reminding everyone to take their exams, giving out containers and encouraging people who are afraid of needles (like me hehe)... it's all worth it if we pull through this by next week with very few peeps left to take the exam at M-Tech itself. It's gonna be a huge hassle, so it's better if they take it now that we brought the medical staff to our office. So far, people have been very nice about the whole thing. When I see them smile and tell me that they're done, I allow myself to smile as well and rest a bit.

My astigmatism's gone. But now I have Myopia in one eye (whatever that is).

I visited Export Bank. It's really beautfiul there. It looks so clean, smells so new.

Yay, I can now enroll my parents with our healthcare provider. Last time, they had their own but this time, I can pay for them because their previous contract has expired already. My mom's going out of the country for some time. She's visiting our relatives in Korea.

We have a new assistant. Her name is Dang. While I still miss Shiela a lot, I'm starting to warm up to Dang. She's somewhat mataray but I'm used to it, having close friends that proudly call themselves bitches. I like her a lot and am very comfortable with her. We're starting to work well together. Hopefully, it reaches the team dynamic Shiela and I had, where we were both selfless, making sure that we covered for each other. Sincerity and teamwork were our secrets to succeeding. I haven't called her "partner" yet the way I did Shiela. I guess that's when I'll know that I've come to trust her professionally.

I just got a Nintendo 64. Passe, I know, but I really want to try Mario 64 and Super Smash Brothers. I'm going to save up for a Gamecube and a Gameboy Advance. I really will. In the past, I've always saved up for and paid for the things that I wanted in life. I know I can do that still.

I like that new song "The Reason" by Hoobastank. Did I get the band name right?

Avengers Vs. JLA has finally ended. It was nice to see so many old favorites make cameo appearances! Marrina even got more than one panel! I wish the JLA would trade members with the Avengers once in awhile. Nice comparative piece over at New Mutants between Rahne and Laurie. My heart goes to Laurie. I'm a sucker for so-called wallflowers. The Avengers are soon going to reach their 500th issue. Rumor mills leaked that the new line-up would be composed of Marvel's powerhouse heroes. Spider-Man and Hulk would be rejoining. Daredevil, at last, would become an Avenger. I'm excited 'bout this one!

Still entertaining thoughts about resigning. I would love to try teaching. I've felt really underappreciated the past few months. While I don't validate my self-worth based on others' perception of me, it wouldn't hurt to feel as if I'm making a positive impact on people. Through teaching, I can help develop people, make them reach their potential, know themselves more, realize their limitations, and SURPASS them! YEAH!!!!!!!!!

Do I know myself? To a large degree I do. I still suprise myself now and then but on the whole, I've become pretty predictable. Now is that a bad thing? Those little surprises still pop up, so s'all good. One can be comfortable with routine without becoming stagnant.

It was fun hanging out with Ana last week. Food trip once again. I really missed her a lot. I really miss Cathy too. My two special ladies.

I enjoyed Big Fish a lot! I saw it as a cross between Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory and Forrest Gump. Sometimes, I feel that way. I still wanna explore. And I wanna explore with the person I'm spending the rest of my life with.

I saw my crush early morning the other day. I couldn't speak but I couldn't help but smile too. Poor crush's sick. I'm still keeping my distance. Friendster says my crush is "in a relationship." Conscience says "back off." And I do.

I hope Butterfly Effect and Fifty First Dates come out on video soon. I'd love to watch both again. I also can't wait 'till Survivor All Stars tomorrow. Im glad Cathy got voted out, she struck me as an "holier than thou" schemer.

I'm sleepy. I'm also happy that just like the past week, I'd be in the GY shift again next week. No sun, no traffic, mo money! Yay!
