BEYOND THE HORIZON...

Last night’s Earth Hour was a success. I thought I participated in a way. I was still asleep during the entire hour (8pm -9pm) so the lights were definitely off. Congratulations to all earthlings out there who joined!

With no air-conditioning, I could hardly sleep. Hmmm, global warming..! I have no choice but to get out of my bed and run to the malls. That has become a daily practice.



Yesterday, I got tired walking around so I decided to watch a movie instead. I must have been really in a hurry that when I entered, I forgot to check the signs. I saw a guy standing near the restroom door, so I thought that was the men’s room; I opened the door (widely open) and heard some shrieks from the ladies inside. Jeez, wrong door! That guy, now laughing, happened to be just waiting for his girl.

It reminded me of a similar experience occurred about a year ago. I just got out of the office and ready to go home. I needed to take a leak, so I headed to the restroom right after logging off. To my surprise, there leaning towards the sink, brushing her teeth was a lady in pink and high heels. I didn’t know how I’d react. I believe I opened the right door. Uh, shame on her doing her thing in the men’s room! I was about to step back when in a husky voice, he shouted, “Tama!, Tamahh!” I thought I’d just leave, but I proceeded to one of the urinals anyway, I was trying not to laugh I could hardly pee.

I was thinking about how to motivate myself lately. It’s just so hard to wake up everyday and go to work, when the rest of world is about to sleep. I’ve been doing the same thing for a year now and so I thought I should write down some good things that my job is doing for me.


Check my list below.



1. Having no AC in my room, going to work would allow me to stay in a fully air-conditioned environment for 9 hours.

2. I get to see my buddies at work, some I already considered friends. Now, that’s social climbing skills put to good use. LOL

3. I could surf the internet for hours…free of charge.

4. Chatting. Thanks for YM Beta. So I don’t need to install YM in my computer, that way I won’t get caught playing while at work. The downside: all my YM contacts are already sleeping except for my sister who’s bugging me for some news from home.

5. The freedom to blog. Our IT people have disabled our Friendster access (although we could use a proxy to get through), same is true with Multiply and U-tube. Thanks God Blogger is still accessible! I could blog and update my posts while helping a 70 year old grandma calling from the other side of the planet to locate “My Computer” in her pc.

6. Having the opportunity to enhance (or I mean pratice) my English. The customers are my guinea pigs. I’d experiment with my twang, ahhhh, until I nose bleed.

7. Taking a nap when I get tired blog hopping while waiting for a call to come in.
