blabber

if it was as easy to give up smoking and to start working out again as it is for me to procrastinate blogging, i'd be fit as a fiddle and have smoke free lungs. it actually took a promise to my colleague suan chiang for me to actually post an entry. apparently there are still people who read this and who are curious as to how things are going in my life.

who would have thought?

however, it seems like my bedroom induces lethargy, especially after working all damn day. school is back in session, so what this really translates to is eight hours of newspaper work, followed by three hours of teaching, followed by another three hours BACK at the newspaper, before i finally take off for home, as wrung out as a dishcloth that's had to clean some massive spills.

things are steadily getting better i'd like to think, i'm getting more done at work in less time, and am actually beginning to understand how things work to the point that i preempt mistakes before they even get out. the learning curve is steep, but i'd like to think that i'm giving it the old college try and admirably hanging on.

change is in the air though, lots of it. and while it might mean the marginal tightening of belts, there is no substitute for happiness. money can buy you a lot of things, but if you aren't happy, then what's the point?

now all i need to do is to start quitting them cigarettes, and start hitting that gym.

who knows, it might even happen soon.
