Make history with us. This is our tagline and indeed, we were successful on 26 August. We first learned about the event months ago and I was pulled in at the very last minute to be the publicist - a fancy name I gave myself :) It didn't start off well and it wasn't easy because I'm completely clueless about golf! How many are there in a flight? What's tee off? How do you know your handicap? Etc.... These were the questions I had and answers I was given were with some rolled eyes initially but with much patience eventually. When publicity started - on-air spot went live, print ad went out, I thought my job was done. Hell no! Numbers were short and with only a few weeks to the event, we panicked a little. I even asked a consumer to help with publicity and to my surprise, he gladly helped and roped in more people. It really doesn't hurt to ask. We started to see numbers and sold 67 slots. And guess what? The guys who came from the sports channel have organis...

对不起，如果这是你的选择，我无法接受。 真的是越想就越难过和生气。 不是不支持你，可是你的理由就是让我有种被出卖和抛弃的感觉。 “不要理会别人说什么，只在乎自己要什么。我的决定只证明我有信心去接受另一个挑战。” 这句话说是没错可是对我们来说也未免太无情和自私了吧？ 如果这不是你要的，当初就不应该答应不是吗？ 我们不是同事，不是别人，是朋友。 就因为如此，这样做不会伤害我们的友情吗？ 我想可能又是我们在一厢情愿了吧。。。。

Was having one of the best weeks at work (it's been a while) until a deadline that was missed ruined it all. It's true, one mistake can easily erase whatever you have done and I can't forgive myself for letting that slip. Yet, there's nothing I can do but to move on and continue to work on other things. The golf event. A first for us. A sincere thank you made it all worth it, really. And at times, it is that easy to make someone feel good. The barter deal. A first for me. It's not a lot of money but I think I deserve a pat on my back. The complaint from my intern. Definitely not a first that someone bitch about me. Did some reflection but I'm sorry. This is me - I don't tolerate nonsense when it comes to work. I. just. want. to. get. work. done. Period. The bum in the team. Worse than ever. Threw it to your supervisor to clear the shit while you were happily snacking away, as if it's none of your business. And soon, the intern can help you...

And sometimes the words just aren't enough. So what do we do? Continue hoping, praying and waiting... We hope for the ones who are unwell to be well. We hope for the ones who seem to be on the wrong path to find the right ones. We hope for the best. I used to wonder what this scenario will be like. I guess I'd never know.... Regardless, thanks for thinking I'm the best. Likewise, you're the best to me :) Damn those bloody emotions!

고기 없음  - no meat 얼마?  - how much 더 싼  - cheaper I've been joking about getting a new nose when I'm there since it's as easy as ordering a take-out but I don't think I have the guts and the man will allow me to. Some site says autumn is the best time to visit Seoul and I'm excited already :)

Just realised it's slightly more than a year since I got my promotion. Can't say I'm good at what I'm doing but I do think I've improved and of course need to continue to in some areas. An ex-colleague is back with us and it's fun to have her back. The laugh till we teared moments... let's hope all good things... last :) Come October (the Europe trip anniversary), we are going to Seoul! Quite impromptuly booked our tickets a while ago. I'm still disappointed Tokyo didn't materialise but I just can't bear the nagging, concerns and possible consequences so it's not meant to be for now. We'll meet one day - a dream I had since I was 7? Am going to get back to work. Off to Manila after National Day.....
