See, this is why I don't believe in taking medicine when you're sick.
I came home on Tuesday feeling not so good. My throat felt weird and my temperature seemed to be higher than normal. I decided to take care of the problem right there and then by taking a dose of Nyquil. Did I feel better the next day? Nope. Five days later, I'm still sick. Although, after gargling salt water the past two days, my throat doesn't hurt as much anymore. However, that ailment was replaced today by a very red, and watery, left eye. I have no idea what viruses trespassed against me, but I hope they go away soon.
So, the next time you have the urge to offer me Midol, Tylenol, Claritin, or what-have-yous, please remember that modern medicine for some reason does not work on this body of mine.

Miss Universe
I would like to introduce our newest employee, Romina, to the team.
Romina is a graduate of the University of Washington with a Bachelor's
degree in business administration - marketing, with a communications minor.
She has worked in numerous internships, including a summer serving with the
U.S. Department of State/Embassy in the Philippines.
Romina is new to the seafood industry, and is very enthusiastic about
working in her new capacity as the Asia Marketing Specialist. Please join me
in extending her a warm welcome.
That e-mail was sent out today to both local and international people. Who says I'm not Miss Universe?! HeHe!
So the e-mail makes others think that I'm this dignified person...little did these people know that earlier this morning, I was locked out of our office for a good 45 minutes. I was so happy that it only took me a surprising 30 minutes to get from the boonies to the city, but the smile on my face quickly disappeared as I found out that my office key doesn't work! I had to wait until everybody got there at 8:30. See what happens when I try to defeat the forces of nature? HeHe!

Day One
I need to learn how to be an alcoholic.
Okay, okay, that's not something you guys expected me to say after the first day of my new job, but really, I need to learn how to drink in the next few months before I set foot in Japan unless I can come up with a believable excuse for the Japanese. After twenty-something years, I can't believe my good girl image is going to get tarnished! LoL.
New laptop. Flat screen monitor. Cellphone (with a camera, but I don't know how to use Motorola phones!). Own office. Window facing the street. New chair. New chair mat. New desk. Frequent flier miles pending. Don't bother asking me how my first day went. HeHe!
Eventhough the vent in my office is blowing cold air 24/7, I can't complain; I just need to bring all my winter clothes to work everyday. HeHe. As long as I get introduced to people and everything I need in order to do my job properly is set up, you won't find me complaining. We'll save the topic of traffic for another day. ;P
And to those who are always thinking of me, no, there are no cute boys in the office for me. Shame on you for keeping the hope alive! LoL.

Fighting Stance
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do." -- Mark Twain
The wretched woman wrote me back: she's not giving me back my $500. The question now is whether or not I should take this matter to court.
My mind right now: It's $500; it's just money; I can still earn that. Crap, though, that's $500...that's a digital camera and a whole lot of stuff. She's an evil woman; She deserves to feel like crap as I have about all this. How badly do I want the money back? Can I handle prolonging this? It won't cost me that much money to try; I just need to pay the $25-$50 filing fee. But I do want to move on from all of this. Is peace of mind priceless, or can $500 buy it? Are lessons about life really worth $500? If I don't accept this challenge, what else will I back down in the future? There won't be any lawyers; just the judge, me and the wretched woman...I can handle that, can't I? Will the judge not focus on the signed agreement, but the breach of oral agreement, as well as my interpretation of the law? Will I find enough comfort that God will take care of this woman in the future? How many people have been wronged before, but backed down just because they were scared eventhough they were right? Do I believe that the law helps the good people and not the bad?
If you were me, what would you do? Let it go? Or, go "Judge Judy" on this woman?
