Of all Things Hopeful

It's been a while since I took to my blog to vent. Life's become too hectic that I can no longer find the time to sit down and write. Oh, how I miss writing. I miss how I can just go on and on about things that concern me but could very well be rubbish to everyone else. I guess you could say I'm the type who prefers to think through personal issues in my mind rather than bore the heck out of someone. I love how "uncensored" I can be, without anyone darting strange looks at me or the hush-hushes I get when I talk too loud or say something politically incorrect. I don't think I strike as as introvert, but I guess there's that side in me that's unexplored by most.

Anyway, since my last blog, I'm not sure much has changed. I got married - yes - but that was close to 4 months ago. Married life has been a bliss though, and not as bad as people make it out to be. Work is beginning to get ho-hum and monotonous to say the least. Still doing the same thing I've been doing for the past couple of years. I don't see a promotion in foresight to be honest -- even if I could now perform my current tasks with my eyes closed! Almost everyday now, I get everything done my around 10 - 11am - and I finish work 6 hours later! You can only imagine how slow the second part of my day can be like. I can actually be more pro-active and perform tasks that aren't mine. However, I tried that before, and it's safe to say I'm not doing that again. A few months back, I tried being more pro-active to ease out my boredom. In short, picking up everyone else's slack. And you know what I got for that - BURNOUT! I got no recognition at all. In fact, they all thought

"Oh, Debbie's doing the job so well, let's dump her with everything else there is to do." WTF!

I can quite accurately say that I've burned my finger once before, I'm not touching the flame again.

So here I go, ho-humming along my afternoons, thinking of better things to do.. Facebook? I feel like I'm more updated on it that the average individual. Multiply? Practically browsed through whatever my contacts have posted every 15 minutes. Friendster? Nah.. Too crap. Ooooh, but I do enjoy revelling in all that Perez Hilton has to say. Too bad his updates can not keep up at all with my thirst for Hollywood gossip. So what's a girl to do?? Blog.

In the midst of all these, I do feel a sense of hopefulness. A feeling that everything's going to change for the better. I've always been an eternal optimist. The thought of knowing that there's a silver lining somewhere is enough to make me feel that there's hope for tomorrow. I'm not the most accurate person in the world to know what this "something better" is, but I know it's bound to happen. Work at the moment may be crap, but I'm looking forward to our new 46 inch TV that will be delivered on Friday. We already have a karaoke party now in place!

I've got the Yuletide bug itching too. I spent (waaay) too much on decorations. We've decked out the unit in Holiday cheer, I'm looking forward to getting hold of Christmas songs so I can start playing them over and over and over and over - well, you get my point. :)

I say nothing much has changed but if you just learn to keep yourself entertained, you WILL be entertained.
That's it for now I suppose. Till next time, I've gotta check back with Perez.

xoxo (Ha!),
Debbie
