It is amazing how a single popular keyword like “Big Bang Theory” generates so much spam comments. I just posted an article a few hours ago then I received a hundred spams already. Anyhow, I guess the Big bang marathon suspend for today. Something came up in the office so some of my friends were obliged to do overtime. Fortunately, I am in a different team so I was allowed to go out early. So I guess I’ll just be watching some movies by myself tonight.

Earlier, a friend gave me a copy of Step Up 3D version. I am still downloading the stereo movie player in order to show the movie in 3D. Good thing I was able to save my Kellogs 3D glasses! Got them during the Shrek days. Hmm… I haven’t watched this movie before. I am assuming I’ll see 90 percent of the cast will be wearing hip hop clothes ? Oh sorry, I guess I was thinking of another movie (You’ve got served). hehe

Last night, my friends and I had a Big Bang Theory marathon. We have been doing this since last week and will be doing this . There was this episode when Sheldon received a Christmas gift from Plenny. In that episode, Sheldon felt obliged to give Plenny a gift of equal value. Everyone was laughing until I realized, I too have the exact feeling when friends give me gifts. I remember, there was one time a good friend of mine gave me an expensive gift certificate for my 23rd birthday. Instead of the typical “wow thank you!”, I said, “Why?! How much is this? I could not take this”. Only after much debate with her did I take her gift yet I did not feel happy right away. The next day after that I saw the GC again and only then did I felt happy and excited because of the gift. I immediately called her up and said “thank you” with all my heart.

As I may have seem very harsh on my friend, please don’t get me wrong. During those times, I knew she was having trouble with her finances and I really hated to be an additional burden just because of my birthday. It was not the gift I did not like, but the idea that she sacrificed her budget just to get me that gift. Engraved gifts would have been much better. That way I will not be guilty of ruining her budget. In the end, I knew I was wrong for me to feel that way. I must have let her enjoy seeing me happy with the gift. I know better now. As for Sheldon… hehe, just watch the episode.

A friend of mine called me up yesterday asking me for help. She seemed terrified because she just found out that she was pregnant. Of course I was confused because she was already married and she had always wanted a baby. So then I asked her and it turned out that she had a CT scan and an X-ray taken a couple of days ago. This is her first pregancy so I can’t really blame her for feeling that way. I took her to the doctor to get some answers.

Xrays are generally safe – the doctor explained. It really depends on the part that is exposed to radiation. In my friend’s case, she had a neck X-ray so it is relatively far from the abdomen. Besides, she was shielded during the process. The doctor assured her that she had nothing to worry about. She just needs to keep her body healthy by having a balanced diet, taking prenatal multivitamin supplements and of course relieving her mind from anxieties. Even I was relieved to hear that. At least now she could have some peace of mind and concentrate on the baby.

Earlier, I received a call from my aunt, telling me about the bad news. On a very rare event, our house was struck by lightning! (Talk about luck man). As my aunt described, she was washing the dishes when she saw a flash of light and heard a  very loud bang. Next thing she knows, most of our appliances stopped working.

My brother who was the first one to come home and told me that all our digital appliances were affected. The lightning seem to have hit the power line burning the circuitry of all electronic devices at home. The air conditioning, wifi router, desktop PC and LCD TV are just some of the things he tested.

Honestly never in my life have I experienced such an event. I was not prepared. I just finished renovating my garden so I’m a little broke. Fortunately some of the appliances still have warranty on them. However my desktop ‘s warranty already expired a month ago. I cannot afford to lose my desktop. I need to have it repaired to be able to do my work.

Perhaps as a consolation, I was able to easily find cyberpowerpc coupons in the net. I’ll use this to buy some parts I need to repair my desktop at home. I just hope I can still fix it. So as a tip to you guys, always unplug your appliances during a lightning storm ‘coz you’ll never know what hit you.

I wonder if those weight loss drinks really do work. I mean, they are fruit juices alright. They do have L-carnitine and stuff but will they suffice or do I still need to take those diet pills. I am trying to lose some weight but in natural ways as much as possible. Fruit juices naturally are weight loss supplements because they aid in ridding of the excess fat in the body. However, my tummy seems to become acidic whenever I drink citrus juices. Another alternative is to be a vegetarian however I hate vegetables especially the bitter ones.

So I guess I’ll just stick to going to the gym regularly. Diets do not really work for me so I’ll just avoid obviously fatty food. Sigh. This weight loss thing is starting to bug me.

Colleagues resigning, ensuring proper knowledge transfer, trainings…  I’ve been in a lot of stress recently – work and life in general.  These stresses have unfortunately turned into depression.

I’m just not happy.

Normally multivitamins would already help improve my disposition (since exhaustion and over-fatigue can really contribute a lot in dampening your spirits).  However, at the moment, I know no amount of multivitamins can help me.

I need some time to think things over and redefine or reinstate my definition of happiness and what makes me happy.  Some peace and quiet.  Then I’ll be fine.

All this deadlines are starting to get into my nerves! First I felt a lot of pain in my back, then I had acne breakouts then now my waistline blew two inches wider!

The stressful two weeks seem to have affected my metabolism. Somehow, it slowed down. Add that up with the oily food and little sleep. I just hope all ends well tomorrow because I want to sleep and just sleep this coming weekend. I’m so wasted and burned out and I might even need to take diet pills

Hmm… So why can I still blog? Well I guess this will be my outlet for stress. I am quite sleepy right now yet I am still at work. Anyhow, I guess this break is enough. Back to work now…
