A Bitter Pill

I just talked to my parents about my debts and although I guess it'll be great to start 2010 debtless, it's kinda sad that so much money to come will never pass through my fingers and will simply just be paid online to a credit card. S

Sigh. Its just sad..

It's not even here but it's already committed to something. But oh well, sacrifices have to be made to start the year right.

I'm still wondering though if I should at least keep some for myself..but then i'd still have debt that way. damn.

Let's just say that I'm not used to it yet.. after all, its been 26 years of happy-go-lucky-spend-as-if-it-were-your-last-day-on-earth holiday seasons...so I guess it's about time that I make a change.

Hayy, maturity. I finally have to grow up. What a bitter pill to swallow!

The Dreaded Burned Out Feeling

This is the feeling that I dread the most especially when it is towards work.

Right now, at 27 years old, I'm more concerned about financial stability..for my future. Some of my office mates are starting to scout for new jobs - after all, we're almost 2 years into the company and nothing much has happened. I've learned now not to expect any kind of enriching learning as I did with my first job - if I was in here only for the money, then it's a pity since I was not able to save any, tsk.

I fear sometimes that I'm just wasting my resources away.. well I am studying MBA so I think that's an investment.. but what shall I do in the future? What shall I become? Hmmm...

At least I'm thankful now that I've finally learned to save. I shall not look back on then past with regret but strive on to build my future..today. Sounds like an ad for real estate or insurance or a bank, sheesh. hehe

Thoughts in Class Right Now

1. weekend work is such a hassle.

2. [nerdy thought] wants to use some other mgt science technique in my paper rather than PERT-CPM...needs a company to apply this...hmmm

3. can i be a mgtsci/operations optimization consultant when i finish my MBA? Although there are so many other factors involved rather than the technical aspect

Topic: Waiting Lines and Queing Theory Model:

- hmmm...i wonder if Starbucks applies some ops technique during christmas season? i think so actually. different shifts of servers?
