What to do for the weekend?

I have a long list of overdue things which MUST be accomplished by this weekend:

1) Get a haircut
- I missed my deadline to get a haircut, and its length now is sufficient to drive me up the wall every morning. I have to struggle to comb my hair, and to make it look presentable enough to walk on the streets without being called a "crazy lady"
- Updates: Got it cut... I am hugely relieved... now, I do not have to worry when a gust of wind blows.. Cos I don't have to start raking my fingers through my hair, in order to keep it looking presentable
2) Facial
- I have been wanting to do an egg white mask on my face, but never seem to get around doing that. Yes, it's slimy, and it takes ages to dry up, but for the sake of whipping my skin into a better state... egg white, here I come!
- Updates: Did not have enough time to perform the egg white facial. But, I did manage to stick on the Watsons brand-blackhead-remover nose sticker

3) Bag
- I sent my bag for repair, and was told that the turnaround time for repair is 3 months. I was already doing a countdown to D-Day when I will get my hands on the bag. But, I got a pleasant surprise today, when they notified me via SMS that the bag has been repaired, and it's ready for collection. Yippee... Will head over to the outlet to pick my bag up tomorrow =)
- Updates: Got it back from the shop.. Looks as good as brand new and the zipper is working fine.. yiiippeeee!

4) Scour the shopping malls
- It's the Mega Sales season now.. The best time to a shopping marathon... just to check out what are the good deals in the market. Even if I end up with no purchases, it would be good exercise for my legs
- Updates: Ho Ho Ho.. I finally managed to buy 2 pairs of black pants.. And i specificaly emphasized on the number: 2 because I don't usually go berserk with my purchase and buy more tha one pants in the same color. I have been scouring the malls for past 2 years trying to get one which fits as the sizes are usually either too big or too small for me (Ie. If the waist fits, the legs don't and vice-versa). Hence, I enarly leapt in joy, when I finally found 2 pairs which fitted me like a pair of gloves.. woohoo!

5) Hit the road
- I've not been jogging for quite sometime, Will need to put in the extra effort to hunt for my exercise gear and go pound the pavement. With the hot and hazy weather, I've had very good excuse to not go for a jog. But, the tightness at my legs when I try to fit into my favorite jeans tells me otherwise... OMG.. I've put on weight!! =(
- Updates - No, I did not have a chance to do that.. Got back home late in the afternoon, and by the time I got to the mall, it was nearing evening.. (after navigating through the horrendous traffic, picking up my bag). And by the time I'm done with my shopping errands, the sun is starting to set, as I spent a great deal of time, trying to locate my parking lot, in the maze-like building)
Of course, I don't run my errands alone.. I always do it with my beloved Sister who is ever so accomodating with all the near-impossible requests and demands which I have...

J.. Thank you OH-SO-VERY-MUCH.. Love ya, sis.... =)
 Oh well, seems like a busy week, but am really looking forward to it...

How do you feel to be accused?

How would you feel if you are accused of doing something without informing all those involved; even though you have been instructed to keep quiet on this planned event?
Would you stay still, plaster a smile on your face, and graciously accept the blame being heaped on you; even though you did no wrong?
Would you back off into a corner when someone complains that you reply too long to a superior's email; even though you feel it's necessary to make an explanation?

This was what happened to me today, in the evening. And please, even if you are unhappy with the way things are being done, I don't think there's a need to make accusations and try to push the blame onto me. And, there's no need to compare past practice against the current practice. No point harping on that, as that is not how the company operates right now.

Trying to show as if I am so not knowledgable about my own role; and that the previous PIC is more superior than me AND to air the dirty laundry in public...Come on... if you had calmly pulled me aside and asked for a private 1-to-1 clarification, I would have gladly agreed to it. But the moment you crossed the line of professionalism, sorry.... I am not the spineless kind of person who would just swallow whatever shoved to me. I have done no wrong, and would not back down.

What is wrong with these people? Can't they even try to understand things from a different perspective? Different point of view?

Am I socially inept?

Anything wrong with being an introvert? You cannot equate an introvert = socially incapacitated.

 I stutter, I stammer, I am shy around people, I do not display aggressiveness among people I am not familiar with, I prefer reading to talking, I prefer staying home to going out, I prefer solitude to noise...

I am a natural introvert and have always try to improve my less-to-be-desired social skills. I thought I have improved... but the situations and glances tells me otherwise.

What is happening to me??

Good vs. Evil

I'ev always love to read and watch movies which has the angel vs. Devil element as the storyline. Movies like Constantine, Legion, and many more which I no longer remember the titles. Series like Criminal Minds, CSI: Las Vegas, CSI: Miami, CSI: New York, Navy NCIS, Bones, Lie to Me, Supernatural.. and more. These series never fail to fascinate me and it keeps me so addicted to watching them. Miss one episode and I feel like a drug addict suffering from the withdrawing symptom.

They keep me inspired and hopeful; that despite so many bad things happening around the world, goodness will always prevail and we should keep the faith and never give up on humanity. When things get me down, I hold steadfast to these principles; as what goes around; comes around. Do unto others, how you want others to do unto you.

Unfortunately, I can feel it is starting to slip away from me... inch by inch...

I was very idealistic then. Am I still that idealistic now?

I have my share bitching about life..so, NO...  I am no longer that idealistic anymore... perhaps, cynical

*Looks like the angel will have to whisper louder than what the Devil is whispering in my ears now...*
