QLC: Episode II

QLC: You don't really have all the emotion handicaps that fit into my category.

MLC: Nay... you are not that old enough to experience what this is all about...!

Is there a new definition perhaps that is called "1/3-LC" (or OTLC)?

(Yah, it is made up.)

A Procrastinator's Confession

I learned that it was National Procrastination Week 2 weeks ago.
So I procrastinated for 1 week before I tell you about the celebration.
Then I procratinated for 2 days before I finished writing this up.

National Procrastination Week is the 2nd week of March.

The purpose,
>some says, it is so that you can procrastinate without any guilt
>some says, to raise awareness about procrastination and use this as an opportunity to correct one's bad habit.
Which one do you think it is?

Depending on one's personality, the reason/s for procrastination varies.

I know some who procrastinate because they are perfectionist, afraid of failing, lazy, least of their interests, lowest on their priority list, idealistic etc. Whatever their reasons might be, it is a very very difficult habit to break.

A procrastinator's confession:
>Why do it now while you still have tomorrow?
>I perform better under pressure.
>I need to take a nap first so that I can focus later.
>This is so boooh-ring...
>Is this good enuff?!
>Double underline, or thicker singe line - which one looked better?
>Which choice of words is better?
>I will do it later la..

Maybe you have some to share with us - later, of course, I mean :)

QLC: Episode I

How do you know if your current job is what you do the best?
How do you know if there might be some other jobs that suit you even better?
If you still like your job, would you still try to explore other opportunities?
If you still like your job, how would you know when is the right time to explore other opportunities?
If you still like your job, how would you know when is the right time to change your job?
If you still like your job, what would it take for you to change your job?
If you change your job, how do you know if you have done the right decision?
If you don't like your new job, would you return to your previous job?
If you don't like your new job, and if you want to return to your previous job, how would you know if your previous employer would still want you back?

These are the questions that have been swirling in my mind lately.

To Blog or Not To Blog

It seems so easy and effortless, for most everyone else that I know, to make a decision about writing a blog. Counting with my fingers one by one, beginning with my sister & youngest sister, my brother, my cousin/s, my uncle, my college friends, my friend's second cousin's son et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

It took me half a year to catch on to the idea of exposing myself nakedly on the world wide web to some strangers across the ocean or maybe even next door. Nakedly, in the sense of emotion.
Then, on several occasions, a friend told me that this could be the most convenient way to keep in touch with friends & family without having to find much time to email everyone individually, or flooding everyone's email accounts with terabytes of pictures that take forever to upload. Not to mention the torture deep within myself from the expectations that built up towards friends & family to sympathetically respond to my emails. Half of the time, it is followed by another dissapointment, which, actually becomes a super-excitement when a reply does show up in the vast junk mails that I do get nowadays.

My friend's theory was proven lately with a cousin leaving home to pursue her dream to study abroad. So I gave blogging some more thoughts.

My hesitance mainly lies in the fact that I just simply can't find any time and patience to put my thoughts on paper as I used to be anymore. I have always liked to keep a journal but I don't remember when the last time I consistently wrote for 3 days in a row. Contradictingly, I can organize my thoughts and express it flawlessly (well, most of the time) in words through typing - thanks to the nature of my job where I spend two-third of my time organizing my facts/arguments/angers/suggestions/opinions and express them in emails. It is so bad that I no longer can do the same if I were to write down any thoughts with a piece of paper and a pen. Worst still, my handwriting is just like .... according to my (retired) teacher/school-principle-mother, a 3rd grader!! (To comfort myself, mother did say my brother's handwriting is like a 1st grader.) Haha!

After more thoughts and discussions with my beloved hubby, we thought (yes, it is a 'we' thing) with all that is going on and more to come in our lifes, this could be very well the 'least complicated' (?) way to share our lifes with our friends & family, nearby or far-away.

Pardon us for we don't write like neither a novelist nor a poet
Pardon us for we don't take pictures like Ansel Adams
But our intention is pure,
is to share our lifes with you,
is to keep us close to you..
For all we have in this life time is to love and to share.


So, to blog or not to blog? We chose 'to blog'.
