The excitement doesn't seem to end, ladies and gentlemen! Here I am recovering from my last tirade involving being spellbound and speechless - actually more speechless than spellbound - and now with what's going on, a pleasant memory finds itself leaving my mind with as much reasons to smile as there are to fret.

Truth and Consequence
I'm at work, and I'm sick. Let me elaborate. I have a sore throat and my voice is giving up on me, a circumstance which happens to be very timely especially if the company you work for is part of an industry where effective communication is critical, no, vital. I am literally speechless in an... Continue Reading →
Trouble in Paradise II
Pressure makes diamonds, as they say. Pressure makes people grow. In fact, I know of a friend who explicitly welcomes pressure as part of her life.

Until now.Chalk this up with the whole list of other things that just happened to disturb me today. Some people just don't know how thankful they are that they have the conveniences that they...

Pain Reaction
I used to be proud to be cynical... Until today. The problem is that we're all in a world that denies that they have a conclusion about someone before they actually meet them up front. It works both ways. We can have a good outlook on a person, and chances are we become disappointed when... Continue Reading →
New Year’s Convalescence
Isn't it nice to be reunited with friends you've never seen or heard of for the longest time? I'm quite sure that there are those reasons to appreciate this event which are common among all of us.

The Effects of Surrender: Remembering 2008
As I begin to write this, it's 2 hours before the last work shift I have for 2008 ends. I have nothing left to do right now, as the people that are under my care are currently being catered to by the good people of another department. My work is literally done, and I am...
