Is there something wrong with me?
I am not a neat freak and I am way to far from being mysophobic but for some reason I feel anxious thinking of touching doorknobs or faucet valves. Whenever I need to open a door or a faucet, I need to use have a thick pile of tissue between my hand and those things and if there are no tissues available, I need to rub my hands with alcohol.
For security
My friend is telling me that their house’s fence installation is not yet finished until now. They had moved in at their new house without fences. She knows that it is very much needed for safety reasons but she said that their budget does not allow it. Maybe come December that will be a priority. Her son is getting bigger and would like to play outside. That is not advisable because cars and other forms of vehicles may just appear on the road. A gate and a fence are necessary.
Locked up
I am away from the office starting tomorrow and shall be back on Monday! Hurray! I might go up north but with my school demands, I need to bring with me my notebook and my larger than life book. So I am thinking of not just camping up on backpack but I have to carry my luggage that I am sure won’t fit in the luggage compartment of the bus. I need to get some tsa locks to keep my belongings safe down the bus’ trunk.
This is the life!
Zits attack
This whole sleepless and restless season does not do my face any good. I am expecting my adrenalin to kick in but I think I am having this hypersecretion of pimple-causing hormone and zits are popping out of my face one by one! I stopped putting on gunks on my face and the pimple cream is now my BFF. It will stay with me until this gruesome season is over.
Brand conscious
Are you brand conscious? Branding is not only about clothes as most people incorporate that word. It could pertain to any product, merchandise, business or service being offered to consumers. There are household names already as to toothpaste, laundry detergents, e-mail service provider, computer brand, Real Estate Company and a whole lot more. In our company, we had training before that geared towards branded customer service since we are in a telecommunication business and we are serving our customers 24/7. That is why a branded customer service is necessary. A person could also be branded like if he is good or bad. A profession likewise can be categorized as to high calibers or those that are second bests. How is it to build a brand and if possible to maintain it? Can it be done overnight? Can you do it on your own? Building a brand and an image will take a lot of hard work and continuous study until you reached that goal. That is why there are surveys being held in a regular basis added to your usual inventory of everything. Why a survey? No one would tell himself if he faces his own mirror that he is ugly, right? That is why it is really best that besides the survey that is only a part of building a brand, it will be better to consult a company that specializes on branding and imaging. That will surely help!
IT experts
From time to time, we see unfamiliar faces in our office. They said that they are from a reputable IT company. Wow, going international! Yes, our company still hires the services of experts of international standards. Meaning, even though we already have our own IT department, the big bosses think that it still pays to consult with others since sometimes they know better. Outsourcing services is the in thing nowadays instead of sending a group of individuals for training. This especially true for the small to medium sized businesses because they cannot afford to set up or hire an entire team. They think that it is very expensive especially if they just need it to set up their network and what they offer does not need information technology staff. In that case, they could hire NY IT Services. They have a group of IT experts that could answer for your needs.

Cheers or tears?
Before I went out of my pad, I noticed the weather was gloomy. I did not expect it to rain because there was no mention of it in the morning news. I was completely shocked when it rained hard in the afternoon. I am ranting because I forgot to close the window near the wine rack and I want to smack my self for that because it was already soaked when I got home. Aaargh!
The wrong side of the bed
My back is killing me. I had 7-hour of sleep and it’s the longest I have had for the year but then I feel like I am about to catch a flu or something. I know I have to blame it on my bed. I have since time immemorial. Seriously, I want to toss a lighted matchstick at it. I am wondering where I could get discount furniture because I don’t wanna lie in that rotten bed.
Twisted
At 5’4, I weigh about 106 lbs. I have thin bone structure and I am wondering, apart from my hair, what is making me heavy. My love handles! I promised myself that in our next company outing, I will be flaunting my abs. Darn, I need to save up for the elliptical to shed of these unsightly flabs. It’s the only love that I don’t want to be hanging around with me.
Back to basics
Although we are living in the world of gadgets where everything that we do seems to depend on computers, we always have to go back to basics. In writing for example, we cannot highly on our laptops for every idea that comes out of our nutshells. Truth of the matter is I always carry ink pens with me because almost always, I need to fill out some forms whenever when I am in some establishments.
