Frustrated with the state of things

This had been in the brew for about 2 years.  You think things can't get any worse, and then fate proves you wrong.
I've never had such a low in my life, yet it's good to have supportive friends and a spouse who argues on your side.  And for a few seconds, you do agree with them.
However, it matters not what the truth is, but what the larger proportion of people believe in.  I believe it is time.  You can't beat them all.
Sometimes the way to advance, is to retreat.

Real steel

A movie I wanted to watch, for Hugh Jackman.  One that I'm wary of, because an actor does not make a movie and the synopsis was screaming, "Lame!"
Got to admit it now, it's fairly good, if you treat it as an underdog-inspiration movie.  The human parts suck, as expected.

Karma

For the record, I don't believe in karma; I believe in retributive justice.
Not that I act it out, but that's what I hope for anything.
Some days, when someone does me wrong, I absorb it and say, "it's on his karma".
That doesn't mean I believe in karma, but in the sanctity of his soul.

You don't have it

The price of my loyalty is trust.
I am as disappointed as you claim you are.

Wounds

The second time doesn't hurt anymore.

There's no escaping...

... from bureaucracy

Good person? Bad person?

A good person can be a bad person.
A good person can be a bad boss.

A good boss can be a bad person.
A good boss can be a bad boss.

Logic debate

Set A has shortcomings doesn't mean set B is true.

Set B has contradictions doesn't mean set A is true.

What I've been doing?

I've posted much less in my 2 blogs for the past few months.
My father had an operation, so the family have been shuttling between hospitals, day-care centre, and now, between two homes: me parent's and my new "house".
Even though the amount of time spent on the actual caring is low, the co-ordination and traveling do take up a large percentage of my time.  Sometimes, uncharacteristically, I drop off to sleep after reading a page of story, or two.
So while it's true that my wife and I had tarried in our renovation plans, it's not fair to put blame and labels without understanding the background.

The rights of a consumer

Had two unhappy incidents recently over services rendered.

One, we went to a bar and were seated outside.  The seats were wet so we requested for a change.  However, the waiter refused, "If I change for you, I'll have to offer customer who come, wet seats.  You get what I mean?"
Sorry, I don't.  You're saying that you are going to give us wet seats, while your imaginary future customers will get served better?

Two, I directed my taxi to my lobby.  Upon sighting the main road across a block, he questioned why I didn't get off from the main road and walk in?  "Some drivers hate coming into carparks like this, and having to get out".
Well, if I wanted to walk, I wouldn't have taken a taxi.

Much have been said of demanding customers.  Yet, what was said of customers who were given bad services and kept quiet about it?  I did keep quiet.  On reflection, I wouldn't accept such crap in future.

Yahoo Mail upgrade

I had been a long time supporter of Yahoo Mail.
But admit it, they've been sitting on their laurels for too long and lost their standing.
Where Google Mail had multiple selection, I had to select my spam mails in Yahoo Mail, one by one.
Where Google Mail allows you to drag and define your calendar appointments, I had to fiddle with the start and end time in Yahoo Mail.

Now, they have a massive upgrade, with link up to Facebook and Google+.
Question is, is it too little, too late?

Communication problem.

Queue cutters

I was stuck by the road for 20 minutes, cabs all showing red lights.  Two ladies turned up and parked themselves 15m ahead of me, chatting and paying me scant attention to my killer stare.

Muttering under my breath, I walked past them by 3m and showed them my back, twirling my umbrella in play.

I was kinda hoping that they would challenge me, so I was kinda disappointed.

My Nook OS got upgraded to 1.7.

Naturally curious, I went to BN website for their faq...

"What's new in V1.7?"

I clicked..

"NOOK ver1.7 includes a minor system update."

Wow... thanks...

If you keep throwing punches...

make sure you're prepared to get one back
