The Dailies

I pride myself in the knowledge that the company I am working at can rely on me. I also won’t fool them into any transaction I made and will make on behalf of the company. That’s how I was raised and will always be.

One of the bosses asked me to secure a number of 1U rackmount for the company. I will look for it on the net and will prioritize one recommended to me by a friend. It’s the Core Systems USA. I will make sure I’ll get the best for the company and will be very transparent on the transaction I will enter on behalf of them.

She gave her boyfriend an Audemars Offshore watch! I am talking about my cousin Faye. She is the generous one in our clan. So when I heard what she gave her boyfriend of three months, I wasn’t surprised anymore. That’s Faye to every one around her. Generous, no matter if she just met you a minute ago.

I can’t say as much for myself. You can say that I am the opposite of her. I can be generous but to persons with whom I am close to only.

I don’t like clutter in my space. I can think more clearly when my place is clean and tidy.

I grew up having my sister as my closest friend and ally. So you can say that I am pretty used to women stuff. I picked up some women’s clothing catalogs for my sister the other day and since I will be going to see her on Sunday, I opened the package and browsed it already. Interesting!

I think I will be spending some more time browsing the catalogs so I can get a couple of clothes I can give my sister, my mom and my close female cousins.

My cousin, a recent Interior Design graduate, will do something about my drab living room. She asked me for a budget and I am still checking if I can afford it. As soon as I give her the budget she needs, she will transform my living room into a modern one.

I haven’t been seeing my favorite cousins for a couple of weeks now. I am really busy with work. There’s too many things going on simultaneously that even my weekends are almost always packed. Last weekend wasn’t so I had the chance to go to my parents’ house for some much needed break.

My sister told me that there are promotional pens waiting for me. It was given by Chloe, our cousin who has a coffee shop cum novelty store. She wants to spread the word that her store exists so she wants us to give away the pens to people who are frequent coffee drinkers.

I didn’t even know my cousin already has a novelty store attached to her coffee shop! I was that busy. Anyway, it’s good that I was able to take a much needed break.

One of the things I like about the new facilities manager of the company is that he really is paying attention to the important stuff. Like the toilets. He knows that it must be clean all the time so he assigned one cleaner per restroom.

When we go for bathroom breaks now, we really feel we’re in a rest room. You can literally rest in it! The whole restroom is clean and it has this aromatherapy smell wafting around the room.

I will recommend that the man be given regular status in the company right away!

The expat wanted custom presentation folders. Since he was sent by the headquarters, what he needs are given to him right away. I do believe it’s money well-spent! The man is really good in what he does! He conducted a seminar for managers to get them motivated. I attended it as part of the observing panel. Boy, was I impressed! The managers who attended the seminar came out of the boardroom motivated and eager to contribute to the betterment of the company!

And he was a very charismatic speaker. I wish I have the same gift of gab that the expat has. I could conduct seminars and impart what I know to being a good leader, too.

Uncle Dalton needs a bifocal safety glasses. He asked me to help him get one. He wants to work on some custom-made chairs that he accepted from a repeat customer. But since he couldn’t very well risk going blind, he wants to get the safety glasses first.

My Uncle Dalton is really good with custom made furniture. In fact, the sofa set in his house was made by him from scratch. Sculpted and then made useful.

It’s the start of the company’s Stratplan. I am a part of the committee and I am seriously excited about it!

I helped my two uncles, distant relatives actually to whom I am close to, get the life insurance quotes they need. They need it because they haven’t had a life insurance for years. When my dad and I visited them, we told them that they need it, especially that they’re growing old and that sickness can strike anytime soon.

They listened and have asked my help to get them quotes they can study and choose from. My dad and I are glad to help anybody get their lives on track especially those who are close to us.

Dee is using the best weight loss product and it’s no wonder that she’s losing weight just like she’s sweating. I have been becoming more and more aware of these products because of the women around me who are all determined to be fit.

Personally, I prefer women to have curves. I don’t like the skinny ones. But I think the media is feeding women the wrong information that men want women who are all skin and bones. Which is really wrong as I know a lot of men who prefer their women with some meat in them.

Jill is drinking an appetite suppressant called phentermine, she told me the other day. I saw her in a popular mall with some friends and I was amazed by my cousin’s transformation. I didn’t get to see her the last time there’s a get-together because she went home early while I arrived late.

I am guessing she lost around 20 pounds. She told me that she’s into muay thai and that she’s doing it thrice a week. I am impressed with her focus and determination to lose weight. She and her long-time boyfriend are already talking about settling down and it might be one of the reasons for her sudden determination to look fit.

I can’t understand the big deal with these two guys. The vampire and the werewolf. How come hordes of women are swooning over them? How come the vampire’s hair is a huge deal as well as the werewolf’s abs? Everywhere I go women are talking about Eclipse. Is it a good movie? I have seen Twilight with my cousin Faye and it was terrible! Haven’t read the books but I could tell bad acting a mile away. The vampires looked constipated to me. The werewolf looked like a kid plucked out of grade school. And the lead actress? Bad, bad choice! She couldn’t even act!

The vampire and the werewolf are admittedly good looking men. That’s probably why. I don’t think the women are swooning over the acting skills of the two. I think it’s really more of the looks. And it can also be transference. You know, affiliating the characters from the novels to the persons portraying it on the big screen.

That’s probably it.

Still can’t understand why.
