Heat at Work

There are times when everthing that can go wrong does. Since February stepped in, the working environment in Dr. D's clinic has been increasingly tense. Small mistakes, in my opinion, have been blown out of proportion. Every member of the staff is trying hard not to make a mistake but it seems that the more they try, the harder it is to do things right. The best intentions are not recognized as such. I think it would be healthy for everyone to have 2 days off to let off steam but closing the clinic even just for 2 days would be out of the question.

The weather is hot and humid and that doesn't make things easier *sigh*

Team Player

I've never been a team player. I've hated group activities since I was in grade school. Somehow people always expect me to lead but I don't know how to be a leader. I usually know what to do when i work alone but I don't have the patience to wait for others to do their part. I just found out that you don't have to be in a group to be affected by others. I hate people who take their sweet time and do not even realize that other's are on 'pause' waiting for them to make their move!

The Heat is On!

I usually joke that we have only 2 seasons here in the Philippines - hot and VERY hot! Well, it seems that the very hot season is already here. I don't mind the sun if it's packaged with white sand and cool breezes and cold mango shakes :) but when it comes with pollution and dust and traffic I'd rather have rain. Oh well, it's better than thunderstorms.

Have a great summer season guys!

Do You Know Where You're Going?

Ever had a song keep playing on and on and on and on and on . . . in your head? Here's the one that has been playing in mine for a long time:

Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to? do you know?
Do you get what you're hoping for?
When you look behind you there's no open door
What are you hoping for?
Do you know?

Once we were standing still in time
Chasing the fantasies that filled our minds
You knew i loved you, but my spirit was free
Laughing at the question that you once ask me

Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to? do you know?

Now, looking back in all we pass
We've let so many dreams just slip through our hands
Why must we wait so long before we see
How sad the answers to those questions can be?

Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to? do you know?
Do you get what you're hoping for?
When you look behind you there's no open door
What are you hoping for? do you know?

Impending Death...

... of my PC

About 1 month ago, my PC started having trouble booting up and there were also problems with the display. I changed the video card and power supply. Everything went smoothly for about 1 month.

The other day, I came home from duty and the computer refused to boot up. No harddisk activity, no flicker on the monitor... no nothing! I couldn't blog!!!

Just a few minutes ago, i decided to take out 1 memory chip and well... the computer started up with 256MB less of memory. I hope that that was the problem. I guess I have to face it... my PC, after 3 years of faithful service, is about to leave us. Whaaa!!! Just thinking about all the program installations and program updates (Dialup!!!) I have to go through again brings tears to my eyes.

The Amazing Idol

Americal Idol & The Amazing Race - these are 2 of reality series I watch regularly. Whom do you want to win in this season's Idol? I just watched the 10 female finalists perform. It seems that the younger finalists will be tough to beat. However I wish Simon's prediction the Brenna Gethers won't make it to the next round comes true. I don't think she'll make a good star.

As for The Amazing Race, I'm glad the family edition is through. Too much bickering among the teams got irritating. I wish one of the elderly teams gets very lucky and manages to outsmart their younger competitors. They are always at an disadvantage.
