Gives Life... Takes Lives...

I know the news is late already but I just got the time to really write something about it just now...

I watched the CNN special about the deadly Tsunami that hit South Asia, and to be honest the reason why I can only say something now is because I'm still in utter disbelief of the destruction and deaths it has caused... It actually put a tear to my eye seeing all those that have lost everything and is in a state of shock, on how they are to continue on with their lives now... and how lucky all of us that were'nt hit by the tsunami... Still makes you wonder... with all of the hate in the world... with all of the weapons that humans create... killing off each other... seems as just but a grain of sand compared to the onslaught by something as subtle as a wave of water... the same water that we drink to... we clean ourselves with... that purifies us and provides life to this earth... but in an instant can act as an angel to death and destruction leaving nothing unturned... destroying everything in its path... it became more deadlier than any suicide bomber or nuclear weapon... with no emotions... no remose... and makes us humans realize that we are not the rulers of this planet.

Looking Ahead....

As I look ahead this year, obviously I have so much plans... plans for my family, my career and for myself... obviously you have to set goals on which exactly it is you want accomplished this year... It looks great on paper... but then again, it'll be a handful once you put it into motion.

Of course I can't do it alone. Having to see eye to eye with the people you're going to be working with to make the goal a reality is also one challenging task. Compromise will always be an option. Hopefully we can get through this by years end having set our priorities to what needs to be accomplished.

Although it's still a plan, I really want to move to a place we can call our own... currently we don't have a permanent residence and the rent is like throwing a large chunk of your salary away. Although my family has growned accustomed to moving here and there, I think its about them we have something for ourselves for a change.

Regarding my work... hmmm let's just say a got a bit more "extra time off" this week due to some mismanagement with the company and its client. But to be honest my plans of moving isn't just possible... but inevitable...

For myself, I'm starting to get back into shape... hoping to keep it up and make it part of my permanent routine. with regards to other stuff like love... I dunno... I'm still caught up with something that's keeping my mind busy... something friends and family has been telling me, and something I've been saying to myself... I won't decide yet but I'll keep myself open for options.

I'll be updating the site again soon... till next time...

How am I... u could say in a state of dismay... maybe just a little bit ;)
