Rejoining the cubicle nation isn't as bad as it looks like in my daydream world. Everyone warmly welcomed me back with huge smiles and tight handshakes. The only thing I didn't like is how they discreetly commented on my new tan. (I easily get a tan even if I don't want to. This is probably the only thing I don't like when in the Philippines.) I gave out pasalubong to my colleagues and superiors like polvoron and dried mangoes, and they all loved it. It's a mini-fiesta in the office a while ago.
While catching up on my work email, I glanced at the new calendar and was kind of placed in a trance--it finally dawned in me that it's already 2010. Yikes! Usually, I spend days before (or after) the new year setting out outrageous goals for myself. Now, however, I feel like I've been living my initial days of the new year as a happy-go-lucky person. I don't like how this is going because it's so unlike me, but I'm kind of enjoying the idea of not having to pressure myself to do things within a time frame.
Nevertheless, I'll jot down some goals that I want to achieve for 2010 as soon as I do some self-reflection later. Right now, my concentration has a similar lifespan as that of a confetti bomb. Good luck with that.
