the two happy's

Haven't been blogging so long, mainly because I've hardly had the heart and the environment appropriate for such. Grace has already gone travelling. She should be back in like a month and a bit but then it will only be a few days and she's off for good.

Want to make a pitstop in Jersey when I go travelling end of the year and say hi. Perhaps a bit of a flatmates reunion in Manhattan or something. I hope I can really go travelling. Been through my intinerary over and over in my head but I haven't really written things down simply because my sketchpad is in my head and I want to actually remember things.

The stress level is piling up and despite my need to be organized and devise a palm pilot-ish strategy, I still want to stretch myself and actually use my head to remember things.

Full time office work starts on the 16th. I have like a week of normality left. I guess I never really expected to be in the corporate world. I never thought I can survive, perhaps but then I believe Starbucks has given me a bit of an introduction on what the politics and the backbiting is gonna be like. On the other side of things, I guess the corporate attitude just grows on you. Just have to filter out the yucky stuff and remain earthy.

I told a friend of mine to give me a whack in the head in case I float up somewhere. Cos really, my deal is a one shot sort of thing. It's a 6 month fixed contract. Not like I'm set for life. But I like it this way. I know it can either end there just like that or my contract can be extended. It's like taking big things in bite size pieces.

Prior to the whole facing the corporate world programme involved reloading a bit of stress. I'll have to book myself in for a Spa Treatment. Despite the cost, I feel the need and perhaps it is better for my well-being.

Mother's day was good. Called mom. I worked a pretty lengthy shift and then saw a rather arty movie called Criminal before heading off to church. Church was good. I am once again in this church limbo where I'm not sure where I should be going. The soundest doctrine is what one lacks and the cheery fellowship and vibrant involvement is what the other proves amiss.

I guess there's different venues for different needs, whichever mood calls for it.
