I wish I wish I WISH

There are so many lives I wanna experience, places I’d love to live for a while, and adventurous rendezvous.

I wish I could say that ‘I love it here in Dubai’ knowing that I don’t like living in most of the places that I really want to live in..because I lived there and felt that despite all the good fun, hustle and bustle, there’s no place like home…

If I had a magic wand, I’d be in a jungle somewhere, hiking, swimming, taking pictures, talking to the natives and coming back with a zillion and one pictures and one hell of an experience…I wanna be close to the ocean, dive with the sharks, surf a bigass wave and feel as fit as ever with the sexiest tan…I’ll eat seafood day and night, listening to Cuban bolero, doin the dance in a run down authentic restaurant with good food and happy people who’s faces are lit with smiles and laughter and cheers to another good day..No worries, no need for lavishness…Just enjoying the little things far far away from the rest of the world.

SNAP! My background is nothing but Indian accents, the sound of the A/C (which is really cold) and I’m thinking about lunch. I should get back to world markets.

Puzzled

For some reason, this morning in the office pantry, I was remembering the crazy stuff S&D’d (Said and done) in high school. Less than a year ago, I bumped into a high school friend and we instantly clicked! Now, we have to meet up at least every other week. Anyway, so, I was remembering a few things like the rumor about her third nipple. I’m still laughing about it. I still don’t know how they came up with it! And WHY?!!? Hehe

When I look back, I never thought for a minute I’d be in touch with classmates I hardly knew and lose touch with the ones I was close to the most..Ironic. My whole life is IRONIC! I can’t even make decisions without changing them last minute..

What the hell is wrong with me..When I say ‘I will never do this or that’, I do it the next minute... Is it because I don’t know what I want or I don’t care?
And before I go out or anything, I am SOOO queasy and lazy to move my butt out of the house, but once I’m out it’s all good, cool and I’m having a blast! I can’t explain this…hehe

Good Fella

.Irrational. it is to hold back developing your colleague’s knowledge, skills, and basics she/he needs to learn to do their job a 100%, because you’re scared one day they’ll be better than you and get promoted before you.

If that’s the way you're gonna play about helping others improve then you better change it because as they’re learning the basics, you’re learning the challenges. You will always be one step ahead unless you give up and start dwelling on who’s better and who’s not.

When you start comparing yourself, that’s when you’re losing your game. Nobody will ever know whats goin on in the other's subconscious. What if they want something else, we wont be doing the same thing forever. Opportunities will come from anywhere. So chill out and give something to your workplace. You wanna be remembered for the good juice.

Random Walk

Everything is interrelated...Compare our lives to the graph. If you know how commodities, equities,markets,etc..move, then you'll understand that everyday we're in for a surprise.

Whether it's good or bad event, Move your self up or down, and you'll make a graph of your own 'stock'. When somebody wants to invest in 'your' stock, they'd rather see it go up all the time with a few or alot of resistance? Watever it is, it's up to you to how you control the lenght of your reactions to shit that happens. You're stock better trend up otherwise you don't want smartasses selling calls on you.

Now if you know nothing bout finance, you're gonna read this with an eyebrow raised thinking .Wacky bitch.

Work + Marriage = ?

A colleague of mine was describing her marriage life. She and her husband both work and come home at round 6ish - 7ish p.m. They work in different places, they’re tired, go to the gym, cook, then slack around a lil bit infront of the tele and then sleep. HMMM apart from slacking around which Im sure they’re dozing off with a little bit of a headbang…it makes me wonder about marriage life! When will we have time to spend with each other? For example, I remember my ex collegue used to stay at work till 10 pm and he recently moved to Dubai with his wife who’s a newbie to the city and him. It sucks, poor her. When do they spend time with each other? What do they do? In general, balancing both is very difficult when you’re working.

Also, the higher up your ranks are, the less time to spend. It even gets more complicated if kids are involved. How are we going to raise them if we’re not at home? I’ve seen the difference between kids raised by working moms and housewives.

It just gets more and more complicated. Oh, then there’s the vacation planning and how many days, promotions, overseas training, what if one is in gvt and the other is in pvt, timings…etc..I need to STOP!

But I’m sure, once it actually happens, it won’t be as hard as it sounds…as long as there’s an understanding between both and they discuss the best way to balance time when they’re both working. COMPROMISING IS THE KEY. Once they start to compromise, it will take off from there..
