To My Muse... (Part VII)

You are today what your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you. ~ James Allen


It just so happens that I come back from class
And think about you
I have no inkling of what you're doing
Or even if you're thinking about me
Still it would be marvelous
To think that you do.

KPI

* KPI = key performance indicator = a business metric to evaluate factors that are crucial to the success of an organization After weeks of long tedious meetings discussing the KPI of the department, I was suicidal. Truly, I was. During the last meeting we had two days ago, I simply tuned off. I also prayed to God that my boss would disappear and never come back. Within minutes, my mind started to wonder about the many things that I would like to do once the meeting is over, and I started scribbling… A colleague sitting a few seats next to me, passed a note: Z, you look so engrossed. You’re not taking the minutes, are you? I replied: Nope. Unsatisfied (for I don't know what reason), she passed me another note: Huh? Then why are you scribbling so profusely? What are you up to? I handed her the paper I used to scribble, which goes like this: Jif Softlan Plastik sampah Scouring brush Kitchen towel Tissue Toothbrush Toilet Duck Mineral water HL Milk Calamansi Bread Milo Nescafe She th...

Losing a Dummy

It's sad when someone you know becomes someone you knew. ~ Henry Rollins Mork Mindy, you have that glum look on your face again. Come on, spill it out, what’s wrong, dear? Mindy Have you ever lost someone? Mork Are you kidding me? When my dad passed away, I was devastated and suicidal. Err…did you just lose someone? Mindy Well, sorta kinda. Mork Hmm…nobody significant died, I hope? Mindy Nah. He just disappeared. Mork Disappeared? Do I know this person? Mindy Of course you know him. I’ve told you about him. Met him on the Net and we’ve been in contact for about 5 years now. Mork (Sigh) Mindy, you of all people should know that people you meet on the Net are not always what they seem. Mindy I know. I guess I was duped. But you know me. I’ve always been honest and transparent. I don’t lie to people, even if I don’t know them. Mork I guess not everybody takes netiquette – online etiquette - seriously. People who take pleasure in lying and pretending on the Net forget that they are co...

One Kiddo's Opinion

Sometimes the last thing learners need is for their preferred learning style to be affirmed. Agreeing to let people learn only in a way that feels comfortable and familiar can restrict seriously their chance for development. ~ Steven Brookfield Mork Mindy, do you know that you’re frowning a lot nowadays? Mindy Uh, really? You’re so observant, Mork. Mork Well, I have to be, don’t I? I’m your supposedly alter ego . Your animus , as Carl Jung put it. You wouldn’t be having those frowns if you’re not affected by something. Mindy Well, yeah. I am affected. By words. Mork (Chuckle) Don’t we all? Mindy Yeah, but if it’s by someone you least expect, how do you deal with it? Mork Okay, this is getting somewhere. What happened, dear? Mindy You know how I love my kids. And my teaching. In fact, I got my kids to thank for for lifting me up this New Year. Seeing them sitting in class, apprehensive yet cheerful really helped me to get out of my moroseness. Mork Okay. So, what is the problem, dear? ...
