When I was in high school, I used to collect wristwatches. I think I have 13 of them, of different brands and style. What I would wear will depend on my mood on a particular. But I don’t think that I have a
new pocket watches. I noticed though that a lot of people are into collecting pocket watch nowadays. I used to think that pocket watches are so traditional but I recently saw a pocketwatch in the internet that was so elegant and so fashionably-looking. I think I might want to own one in the future.

You may not believe this but I honestly don't know how to do a
balance transfer when I am in from of an ATM especially during pay day periods. I'm into saving money nowadays so I make it a point that I'll go to the bank to deposit some moeny. I'm so traditional when it comes to banking. I was just recently that I learned how to pay my bills online. I guess I am blaming it to the fact that it is usually my Mom who always pay my bills. She just has to know the due date of my bills and she will pay it off together with the other household utilities expenses that we have.

My brother has been to Singapore for 3 times already. That is just for the last 3 months. He was sent by his company to attend a conference that pertains to his job. While in the Lion City, he’s been into IT job search with employment agencies and some referrals from friends he met online. Singapore is just a small country but it offers a lot of opportunities in the IT field. Brother will be back there this September and this time, he’s dead set on landing a job there (he applied for an internal job posting in their company but he hasn’t heard any update yet).

I happened to stroll around SM Megamall today but blame it to me 'dementia,' I forgot AGAIN to buy a
flash drive. I used to have a 2GB flash drive but I lost it just weeks before our wedding. It was such a bummer. It contained a lot of pictures and some pertinent items regarding our wedding. I am just grateful that other than pictures and excel files, it didn't contain contact details and financial accounts that could be hacked by whoever stole my handbag.

My small-time business of selling Victoria's Secret and Old Navy stuff clicked in the office. In fact, some of them are already anticipating when the next shipment will be. The last time that hubby sent me something, they can't find any
shipping boxes that could fit the rims he bought for his folks' new SUV. He had to order a special one. Well, hopefully next month, we won't have a hard time looking for boxes. Aside from a few perfumes, he will only have to send VS and Old navy stuff again.

I’m trying to drive performance in my team. Unfortunately, the management doesn’t have any incentive program in that will make the employees motivated. So I’m doing it my way. Top performer for the week will get a cup of
Starbucks coffee and a piece of bagel. I know it’s not much but for people who work in a grave yard shift, drinking caffeine and eating something sweet will help one keep up during the night.

During our wedding preparation, I was so into making our invitation done neatly and elegantly. Our wedding invitation was really nice, according to our guests. It was like we had it printed in one of those wedding invitation specialists. But because I thought that the envelope was too simple, I have thought of making some sort of a kimono belt using a specialized paper. I initially thought of using
box cutter. But my husband, used to be fiancé insisted of just using a cardboard cutter

My wife has reached her 8th months of pregnancy. Honestly, I am kinda scared. Eventhough the doctor said that her pregnancy is pretty normal, I am still kind'a nervous because she's always moody. It can possibly turns out to be a highblood pressure. She became more sensitive than usual. And as i said she's pretty moody.
I am missing her even more when we argue over some little things. Because during those bad moments and we're together, I always give her something that would ease her anger. Damn, I miss her so much... :-(Labels: all about russell, Thet

I am still thinking whether I should get a maternity portrait or not. The cost is quite hefty in the pocket but I just just couldn't let this unforgettablle phase in my life slip like that. I want a tangible thing that I can cherish forver. Besides, I am not sure when we're gonna have our 'baby girl." Hehehehehe.

Client managers were in town last week. It was a pretty exhausting week for me. Nevertheless, I had a great time with them. And so is my team. We had a lot of activities and everybody enjoyed every moment of it. Part of the reason why they decided to come and visit us here is to conduct a business review. Though I am not really a part of the executive management, "A" was kind enough to show me how our line of business is doing in general. I am not sure but I think they are using
cpm to be better assess their line of business which is actually good. Clients left this Wednesday filled with smiles on their faces.

As soon as I finished season 6 of The Practice and season 5 of Boston Legal, I started watching Shark. I don’t know what is with this courtroom drama that the moment I play my DVD player, expect that I’m gonna have a DVD marathon. While being a criminal defense lawyer can be quite challenging, I fascinated with how
Chicago personal injury lawyers are making money especially with the impact of physical and emotional stress that personal injuries bring. I am now down to the last 5 episodes of Shark’s season 1 and I am now searching the net if there is a season 2 of this magnificent courtroom drama.

After two weeks working in my new job, i quit. Yeah I know it's too soon. But I can't do the job that my trainer trying to teach me. I am always stress and uncomfortable. I am not really use to the kind of training that is time pressuring. They gave 2 weeks to learn, but during that time it's already been two weeks has past but still I am slow. So I decided just call it quits. Good thing that my cousin's wife offered me a job because someone has to leave they're position on their company. So someone has to fill the position immidiately. So I waited till wednesday waiting for my interview. After I got the interview I got hired right on the spot. They told me to report the next day, so there I am.
I would say that my job right now is pretty handy and not confusing not like the other one that I had before. My boss is pretty cool. He is a persian guy and I think he is pretty too. I've got to say that I will stay on this job for long. I love what I am doing on this job.Labels: all about russell
