I took my VOW today....
First things first.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ROSA.....!!!!!
Second.
Nino's MARATHON SP SUBBED is finally OUT! A lot of snags on this one, like you can't believe.
We took the longest to spot-translate, the longest to time, the search for the best raw video file, and Haru practically came on the verge of losing a good arm editing, and nearly lost her head encoding and reencoding. SEE HOW WE LOVE YOU?!?!
I don't think I'm cut out for marriage. I'm too free-spirited to want any commitment that permanent.
Now that I got that out of my system....
For three days (starting today), I was asked to attend this company-sponsored VALUES ORIENTATION WORKSHOP. Or VOW.
So what is it about? That is not to say that I don't have values, that's why I was going to attend. It's more...'enhancement' and 'reinforcement', and 'further discovery' of what I already have. So I went.
I was afraid of one thing: what if it turns all preachy and sanctimonious and I cannot stop myself from blurting sarcastic remarks and - worse - bursting out laughing?
Today was actually interesting. Out of 42 people there, there were only 7 females (and they say females outnumber males 2 to 1 *rolls eyes*). They grouped us through random count and LO AND BEHOLD! I am the only female in our group. And most of them are middle-aged to aged. Noisy but fun older guys. And they picked BINGO as our group name.
And our group yell? "JHING-OH!"
......
They're old. Let them have their fun while they still can.
Today they discussed the SELF, and they asked the question. "WHO AM I?"
I hated that question more than anything. Because I think I am barely on the road to self-discovery, so it is a tad premature to be asking that. There were lengthy discussions, and sharing of thoughts and feelings. "What made you the happiest?" "What's the most tragic thing that ever happened to you?" "What are the triggers of your reflections, and how did you react?"
I kept quiet unless asked. My memories are my own. Yes, I'm that selfish.
It was quite an OK day. The 2nd day would be focused on the SELF AND MY COUNTRY. Uh-oh. I am in danger of going apolitical again, and I can get quite argumentative in that area. Argumentative to the point of 'treasonous'. The third and final day would center on the SELF AND SERVICE.
I can't say I'm too thrilled. But sure. If I learn a tiny-teeny thing, well and good. And it'll look nice on my resume, so....
And an update from that thing I spoke about in my last post:
TRUE ENOUGH. SHE WAS SELLING INSURANCE.
Omigod. She kept droning on and on about premiums, and entitlements, how much you're gonna get at age 60, at age 65....
I'm like, "I don't see myself going beyond 40, so I don't think I'm the best person for you to be selling that."
We're meeting again this weekend, though, as she'll be presenting INVESTMENT and ENDOWMENT proposals. Now THAT I am interested in.
There's this running joke. When you get a life insurance, you won't die young or any time soon. That's because the entire insurance company will be praying for your safety ALL THE TIME.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ROSA.....!!!!!
