finding the silvers

despite the cloudy outlook, always look for the silver lining..

i got another job offer last week from Auntie to work in OPR (again) but i guess i'm going to turn it down. i don't want and don't need the late nights anymore i guess at this age. other things are more important to me now like developing a family and nurturing the love between other-halves and families.. with work in the way, those things can never happen. (plus, bonuses and increments in the agency world are very competitive, and i'm so not the competitive type.)

another silver came from Eric this morning. he handed me a letter which i impatiently tore open only to reveal my annual bonus allocation! yay!! i immediately called the love of my life and told him the good news. i've planned to shop for office clothes with this money, treat myself and mr. lover to a couple's spa and keep the rest in a vault to realise our little family plan next year. i haven't received a bonus in 3 years and this one is actually quite unexpected.

and most importantly, all of us still have our health, wealth of love from each other, sane minds, enough food to eat, our secure jobs, and live in a country where it's safe, albeit having an almost crazy government, without any wars.

just think: everything's not so bad after all.
