Tired...

Dear Blog,

I'm quite stressed these days from having to meet some deadlines and quotas at work. It's odd coz it's not really that challenging but I just come home with aching shoulder blades and feeling really tired!

This year, working out at the gym is not that much of a chore or a requirement anymore since I've used up (read: expired) my 1:1 PT session at Fitness First. Now, I just go to Greenhills branch during Saturdays and sometimes Tuesdays, where its more spacious and there's hot yoga and pilates classes.

Schoolwork on the other hand will probably pile up as the weeks go by. I have Marketing Management classes on Monday and Financial Management on Thursdays. Both my teachers in these 2 classes are experts in their fields so what they bring to class are insights which could not be learned or read in any textbook. This is also the reason why we, the students are expected to read on our own. Good luck to me!!

I hope I can still spare some to go to our Wednesday church meeetings...sigh. If not, then maybe next semester again for me where I'll only have 1 class a week for the Refresher.

Thoughtful Night

Fully Booked rocks! I never thought any other bookstore would even have The Ten Day MBA by Silbiger but amazingly Fully Booked has 1 copy of the book displayed on the shelf when Powerbooks told me that it was out of stock for 25 years already and would have to be requested by special order! What the..?!



Anyway, I'm really happy! Figaro Cafe Mocha Lite to celebrate :) yummmm

Don't you feel that sometimes you wish you were doing something else besides your current work?

I try to avoid having that feeling because I know where I am in now isn't really my dream job. It isn't really what I'd like to do...

Oh well...all for the money.. all for the future.. I hope I can get out of the rat race and really do what I want in my life.

I wonder when I can wear this? I hope in 3-4 months! haha :p
