I reckon one of the key determinants of the endings and beginnings of chapters is the movement of people, whether coming in or out of one's life.
July will be an interesting month and I can see December will be something, too.
Spent post-work unwinding hours walking down the UTS memory lane. So much has happened and pretty much, I have pretty much nothing but memories to take home. I've had my hey days and my fair share of struggles.
On the one hand I thought I might want to turn back the hands of time and make minor changes but then in reality (not so much on the fact that I can't turn back time), I'd rather live on and take home something valuable that I have learned from my stuff-ups.
I still believe in the end the world is going to be round and so forth.

It has to be 'I'
Knowing you have people willing to be part of your support group has to be tops. I have my fair share of both extremes, uncalled for instances which just touch down in front of me.
/// another one of those corporate events ///
what is normally dubbed as a work function can really go any which way 360 degrees around. last night was a gig at the basement.
the basement - the ambience is like hard rock taken to the next level (older, more matured, more cultured version), the food that we so far had a taste of was good, the space is pretty reasonable, except for the so -called blue-note room, which is life-threatening for the claustrophobics, and claustrophibia-inducing for the normal few.
the gig - the main act came too late. however, the fact that the opening band is very good (there was a crowd quorum going on during show time, if u know what i mean), which is a good indication. and perhaps the show costing 70 bucks at that time (whilst we only paid a corporate rate of 5 bucks per head) is SOMETHING!
the bonding - what more can i ask for?
the downside - something from the past, which i thought i have long buried and haven't really been digging up (cos what's the point!?!) brought itself right in front of me. others might call it offensive, some might refer to it as harassment. i say, "what the!?!" somebody obviously has a problem here and i can never think it's me (all nerves and my whole sanity intact).
there was an unexpected upside, though.
it's all good.

Nuts about YOU!
Surprisingly, this week has gone so well and we're pretty much tying up the laces here now.
>>>The Job
Have to work with the boss this week and the next. So far so good. We're teammates for the mean time. It's been pretty cruisy so I've been living it up for the past few days. Still searching for Plan B and C, though.
>>>The Destined 'Job'
I rest my case with writing job 2005 numero dos. There's a magazine I'm due to apply for tomorrow. I should do it before I head for work tomorrow. Actually, that's in about 8 hours. There's about 3 hundred-word mini essays I have to write before I can hand in my application. Still pondering.
>>>Film Fest!
Did my last volunteering yday which was like the coldest night in Sydney. Went pretty well. Cruisy though as there were only 2 films that night. Today, got free tickets to watch Mean Creek, a SUndance winner.
>>> Annual Leave
On being slack, stubborn and all, I am still leaning towards taking mid-October off and heading towards the big apple plus texas. I've just got these mad ideas atm. ;)

longing for the next chapter
i've noticed that change is an ongoing thing in sydney. while the inevitability of change is constant, somehow, things happen more spontaneously here in sydney.
in case i haven't said this before, i'm saying it again. i'm stuck in sydney and i'm loving it!
the four seasons in a year makes you take in changes in smaller bites. it serves my short term attention span well whilst not really injuring my adjustment periods.
i had that terrible monday morning madness today. got stuck in traffic among other things and got that damned finger pointed at me when i never ever asked for it. i guess that's life for ya. i can either be the emotional girly girl or the harsh stone-hearted saddist that i can be. i waver in between. i know i need some sort of balance but i gotta make sure it goes well with the situation.
at the very moment, i really need a job. i have a few things to finance.
i'm even willing to cut my end of year holiday short to make way for work. i'll have to put off my all american journey. or maybe make it sooner if the opportunity knocks. i do have about two weeks worth of annual leave.
but before all that year end planning, i need to be rid of all the cobwebs i can see. i dread the coming month. while change is good, i can see changes that i'm tempted to shed a tear with.
that 6 months shouldn't be too bad.
amanda moves in, which is good as na is heading for boston.

the busy bee concept.
.corporate life strikes.
i've had a few so-so days. won't call them bad yet because i like to be optimistic. it's still a challenge but it's healthier that way.
i believe the fun is just starting.
went on a quarterly companywide drinks thingo after work today. was so fun but i was there for only 30 minutes.
loving the people on my floor.
================================================
sydney film fest is coming up! coolio!
