Hello. The first month of the new year (and decade) sure is a tight start, at least for me, however odd that might sound. Minimal blogging opportunity is what I’m getting at. There’s just so many must-dos and what-have-you things that spell out b-u-s-y in all caps (boldfaced and in red).
At work, we’re practically killing ourselves at getting over last year’s productivity nightmare and moving on and working hard to take advantage of the post-holiday January shopping season. So far, it’s been so-so-sales, but I the ever positive chieftain, won’t stop pushing, proud that, while big-name call centers suffer from terrible attrition rates, loyalty is pretty much still the reason behind our solid teams.
Weekdays going home, I’m usually exhausted (what with that same-old-story traffic dilemma) and recently is becoming insomniac as sleep only comes when the clock ticks 2am, reminds me of my sleep problems when I was in Uruguay. I wanted to blog at home, but I thought I’d rather spend more time with wifey and kids (and movies, and Nintendo wii, and recently Australian Open, hehehe). Weekend is when I’m married to the bed--that’s when my now unhealthy body, badly needing a 3k jog, decides to catch up on sleep.
But really the reason I’m blogging now is because I saw blank, as opposed to seeing the sign.
Goodbye 2009, hello 2010
We're bidding 2009 goodbye, that Year of the Ox with which most have been bullied or went out of control (money and otherwise). While prospects of an upturn is uncertain, the future's unpredictability still is something to look forward to.
So keep the faith, stay challenged and productive, look for the signs then wield.

Happy Christmas!
Fewer parties-check, un-busy opportunities-check, more playtime with kids-check, catching-up with missed cable TV episodes-check, Japanese horror-fest marathon-check, diet total neglect-check. That's me this holiday weekend.
But my LSS song (that I'm even humming in sleep) also expresses my Christmas mood:

SNAPS: Party like crazy
Here I was on the stage (opposite my staff and others at Hard Rock Cafe in Makati) as if pushing the party crowd to cheer on and keep dancing (the band was playing Black Eyed Peas's "I Gotta Feeling"). Who's party was it?
