Going Cold Turkey

I'm participating in The Great American Apparel Diet today: no buying of new clothes for a year. Since goals are supposed to be reachable, let's start with six months and if we can reach a whole year, then so be it.

I had bought this very cheap khaki mini skirt a couple of weeks ago and when I finally decided to put it in my drawer today, I found out that I had a similar skirt that I had totally forgotten about. That's when I knew that it's time to make some changes with my buying habits.

Red

I had totally forgotten about today being Valentine's Day! I was too caught up with cheering for JR Celski last night and subsequently celebrating the first Pinoy to have won a Winter Olympics (bronze) medal that I completely forgot that I was supposed to be bitter today. ;P

The City Hall

I just finished The City Hall. Loved it! Perhaps being a city government employee myself played a part in that. HeHe!

It was an adult drama with adult characters played by adult actors; at my age, I definitely appreciated it. You can really feel the love between the two main characters, but it was neither melodramatic nor cheesy. Now the question is: am I insane enough to buy the director's cut DVD set for $150 plus shipping? I thought the whopping $70 for the Coffee Prince set was absurdly priced; who knew that there was something more expensive?!

See No Evil, Hear No Evil

During an impromptu meeting today between my direct supervisor and I about another topic:

"Hey, thanks for not lashing out at (insert biatch's name here) whenever she sends out her snippety e-mails."

My reply: "Yes, I know that I'm better than that."

Naks! A week or two ago, The Biatch tried to be a smart ass about something, but was totally wrong so I sent her a polite e-mail and CCed my direct supervisor and another one of my colleagues. The reply from The Biatch was anything, but polite so much so that my direct supervisor forwarded the whole e-mail trail to our higher up supervisor who wanted to make sure that I'm being supported, blah blah blah.

Apparently, everyone is aware of The Biatch from previous incidents. Who knew! I'm just glad that I'm not alone and that my ability to bite my tongue before sending an e-mail to The Biatch is noted. I'm also quite thankful that I don't have to deal with her everyday nor do I have to see her. It would really be a biatch to see The Biatch on a daily basis.
