no worries

Was late for a phone conference today due to another meeting right before. Yes, lesson learned, should have asked for the meeting to start later.

To make matters worst, I didn't have the call-in info due to a zealous round of deleting e-mails yesterday.

What can I do? Tried to reach the host's secretary, but she was not at her desk. E-mailed the host and waited for a response. Sure enough, I was able to call in, but late.

Still, at no point did I let fear take over or worry. This calm is just how it is at work now. My company is paying for plenty of talent to worry, so I am there to execute and to manage the process.

This has been the best month of work ever. Maybe this is the place to stay for a while after all...

get happy!

It's been a great week!

Between throwing parties and spending lots of time with family and friends, I realized that work is the least crazy part of my life. Truly appreciate the stability of work.

Now that work has a very competent admin, I can focus on getting my projects done, including a very exciting acquisition deal. It is a lot of work, but I love it. Every day is different, and I still get off in time to have fun.

To be loved by so many and to share all the simple things in life with people I care about. This is more than enough!

Life is perfect right now. Who knew this positive feeling would be so overwhelming?

what I know for sure

Life has always been taken up by having fun. Even work has to be fun (like right now) for me to appreciate it.

Men are always a source of fun, but I just haven't met the guy who can ride out the good times and the bad times with me. I do meet stellar guys, but it just isn't meant to be.

Instead, I count on my family, my friends, my routines and my sense of self.

I feel special to be single and completely happy. Don't see any reason to change the status quo any more. So this is what it means to get old; I am so comfortable in my life that the idea of a relationship no longer holds much appeal.

Cool but also twisted indeed.

just like that

Went to open salsa session with a friend. Happy to report that I finally got over my fear of dancing.

Who knew? All the pressure is on the guy. Just like in dating. Haha. Instead of wondering what I should be doing and worry about not being able to follow, I just let the guy do all the work.

Yes, I was very uncomfortable in letting the guy do the thinking and acting, but I am starting to like it. Last night was so fun. I kept up. Just have to do my part and smile.

Everyone was right; I would love salsa. My friend and I are planning to take up tango next. Excited that I found a new dancing partner...

evolution

I was quite excited about possibly going club dancing with an out-of-town friend tonight, but for one reason or another, I didn't have my potential dancing partner. Fortunately, this is the not the first time that I found myself unable to go dancing. In fact, I have taken up salsa in order to find an outlet for my love of dancing.

Having hated instructional dancing and had a terrible time at my first few salsa experiences, even the group lessons, I wasn't sure if salsa was for me. Fortunately, a friend who takes many dance lessons suggested that I do a few privates. The first couple of classes reminded me one major rule in my life: there is always an efficient way to learn, and with time and money, it is possible to be proficient at almost everything.

Rather than thinking that I have to give up dancing, I am finding a new outlet. I even started to invite friends who are excellent salsa dancers to join me.

In fact, rather than staying disappointed of not dancing, I am looking forward to meeting a friend at salsa tomorrow night. Besides, last night's unexpected dancing w/newly made friends was a reminder that life has a way to answer our desires.
