Insane.

Just got back from Naga City on a work-related field trip. The 30-minute flight back from Pili is nothing compared to the 10 hour red-eye trip to Naga a couple of days ago. It's my first time to be in the Bicol region and the farthest I have gone by land. I have to report for work now after checking my messages and this one from a former classmate surely can take the stress out of this whole experience.

20 Ways to Maintain a Healthy Level of Insanity

1. At Lunch Time, Sit In Your Parked Car With Sunglasses on and point a Hair Dryer At Passing Cars. See If They Slow Down.
2. Page Yourself Over The Intercom. Don't Disguise Your Voice.
3. Every Time Someone Asks You To Do Something, Ask If They Want Fries with That.
4. Put Your Garbage Can On Your Desk And Label It "In."
5. Put Decaf In The Coffee Maker For 3 Weeks. Once Everyone Has Gotten Over Their Caffeine Addictions, Switch To Espresso.

7. Finish All Your sentences with "In Accordance With The Prophecy."

Haven't been writing much these days. My busy sked has caught up with me because of all those work I put off last Holy week. A lot of people from my office is either going on-leave to concentrate on the review for the board exams or resigning for greener pastures. It always makes me sad when someone leaves...
One piece of advice I always give to a co-worker who's having second-thoughts about resigning is to always go where their heart tells them to and do what makes them happy. Actually It's two. Though I've made a lot of bad choices all these years, I always "try" to accept with gratitude all the things that happen in my life, even if it is something bad. This is something I picked-up after a bad stretch a few years back. I'm okay now, so far, and even though I'm still waiting for a "life-changing event" to shake me up, I'm thankful I've made it this far.
