Another day, another dollar...this is why we drag ourselves out of bed every Monday...no matter how tempting the bed looks to us, we're left with no other choice but to leave the comforts and the warmth of our beds and brave the dread feeling of facing another day to work. That's how my Mondays usually begins. After a nice weekend of partying and resting, I usuallly hate the dreaded Mondays..I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. I'm extremely positive that at least half of the world's working population shares the same sentiments as me! :p
Let's see what the stars has in store for me today..on this draggy Monday:
Pisces - February 23, 2009 : The need to concentrate on what you're doing may necessitate that you isolate yourself from others in order to fully focus on the task at hand, dear Pisces. This is fortunate, as you'll probably accomplish a lot more than you would otherwise, and be quite satisfied with what you've done. Those in authority should be pleased with you as well. Take care not to nibble while you're working, though. You could eat too much of the wrong things and feel the effects afterwards.
Oopsie! Did the horoscope mention to take care NOT to nibble while working. Err..too late! How in the world am I expected to concentrate and complete the tasks in hand if I CAN'T nibble whilst working? I NEED my chhocolate fix or nothing will be accomplished at work! My, Oh my! The only thing for me to do is to ignore that part of myhoroscope! Who believes is these things anyways? Irony of ironies! I claim not to believe in horoscopes and yet I read and write about them religiously! :p Well...I personally think that it's fun to read one's horoscope at the start of every day, regardless whether we beleive in it or otherwise.
Oh yes! I didn't manage to bake the brownies that I've been itching to bake last weekend coz my dratted oven broke down! :( Much to my dismay! :( I'm gettin git fixed so that I'm able to bake my version of the "Best-favourite brownies"! I really can't wait for that. However, I did compensate the lack-of-brownie-baking with eating bakery goodies! Mostly chocolate-based, of course! ;)
Oh..my boss just walked in! Will write more soon!

Friday!
Ahhh...finally! The long-awaited day has decided to make its appearance! Oh, how I LOVE Fridays! The day just seem to fly me by...before I commence on the work still stacked on my desk (well...not much really. I've managed to accomplish most of it-miraculously! Just as long as my Boss does not give me more tasks to do today-wishful thingking! I'm on the right track! ;) ), I'll start my day by posting on this blog. ;)
How shall I start? Hmmm...let me read what the cosmic stars has in store for me today :
The desire for advancement, both personal and career-wise, could cause you to consider the possibility of furthering your education in some way, dear Pisces. Someone close to you, probably a woman, could wake you up to the advantages of returning to school and getting an advanced degree. You may want to wait a little bit before actually deciding, but something has shifted within you, and it's time for some kind of change. Be prepared!
Hmm...something has shifted within me, indeed! But definitely NOT the desire to further my education. Rather, I'd like a change in career and life in general. I feel like I've been stuck in a rut for quite sometime now and I'm desperate for a change. There's just so much that I want to accomplish and although I know how I can accomplish them, but sadly the means and resources to get to where I want to be are scarce presently. In terms of furthering my education...well, that is definitely NOT in any of my plans, be it in the near future or otherwise. I'm done with hitting the books! Left the education system eons ago and frankly, I don't see the reason for me to go back to the books. As far as I'm concerned, I've educated myself enough. I've got a Masters Degree and I've no plans whatsoever in getting a Phd. No offence to those who has got a Phd. I totally respect and admire peoplewith Phd. I mean...to be frank, I would not want people to address me as Dr. so-and-so...I like my name just fine the way it is, thank-you-very-much. The only change I'd like to my name is the title in front of it to be changed from Miss to Mrs. ;) Well...who knows? Perhaps that might be possible this year. :) I'm keeping my fingers crossed for now...the day he proposes will be the happiest day in my life thus far. Especially after all the trying time I had to endure in the past year. Meanwhile, I shall be content with what I have, be thankful to God the Almighty for what He has given me so far and not think too much about it. Hey! If the time is right, everything will just fall into place..or so I've heard...;) I'm keeping my faith and gonna let nature takes its own course of action for now.
Oh, blast! I forgot to bring in some chocolates to keep me company while I work today...:( there's none in the pantry and the shop is way too far to go to. Sigh...I guess I shall brave through the day without my normal dosage of chocolates..:( I hope I can tide myself over up till lunchtime without my chocolates..:( I hope I'm strong enough to do it! The plus side is the fact that today is FRIDAY!!! And I'm not gonna let a small setback like my lack of chocolates to ruin my day today.
I think I shall compensate it by baking some delectable brownies-adapted from various recipes tonight. :D I'm looking forward to that already! I have so many "best-brownies" recipes that I've compiled and tried and adapted in my quest of making my own version of "best-favourite-brownies"-something that I hope to pass on to my daughter (if I'm blessed with one) someday. ;) I'm still perfecting my recipe. Everytime I baked, I note the changes and do more research in my endless quest. I hope to post about the brownies (with the recipe and picture, of course!) sometime next week. Suddenly, my day looks better and better. Okay, on with work!

Cosmic connection.
It's Wednesday...mid-week. How I wish it's Friday! Why? If it's Friday, it means that the weekend is near and hence, tonite will be paarrrtay! Reality check! Nope, it's not Friday..no matter how I long for it to be, the dratted calendar on my work desk confirms the fact that today, is indeed a Wednesday! NOT FRIDAY! Oh well...since I still have tons of work mounting on my desk, waiting for me to tackle them..I needed some respite, badly! I'm all stressed out! (Hey! It IS midweek!)
In order to make myself "slightly" happy, I bought myself some rather nice chocolate morsels to keep me sated till end of the day..:) At least the workload (that's still waiting for me) does not seem so tedious after all! ;) What chocolates did I buy after having a nice lunch? The ever so delightful Fererro Rocher! These little cuties are so dreamy...I swear that one bite will beat the stress away! In fact, I think that all offices should have them stashed inthe pantry so that people actually don't mind working! :p
Aside from enjoying my lovely Fererros, I thought that I'd distract myself a bit by reading my horoscope before continuing my work...yes yes..I do realise I'll have to get down on them sooner or later. i promise I'll do it right after posting this post! Seriously! Anyway, here's what my horoscope has to say for me today..
"Over the last few weeks, dear Pisces, you have been working hard so that you don't have to worry about your finances. Try to forget your problems and especially avoid focusing on and talking about money today. Do what you feel like doing! You are probably already aware that you need to take care of yourself from time to time. Don't neglect yourself!"
How can we EVER not think about money? I mean..money figures in almost every aspect of our lives! The moment I stepped out of my house, I'm required to spend money! For gas in my car, the toll charges, the massive traffic jam I have to endure day in day out! Sigh...the list is endless! And yes, I have been working really really hard over the past not just two weeks, but at least TWO YEARS!!! I'm just hoping for good payoff.
Since I'm not able to forget my problems and avoid talking about money 9as my horoscope suggests) I shall do the next thing that it suggests i.e. do what I fel like doing! Right now, I feel like eating more chocolates and I shall do exactly that!! :p
Okay..back to work..Will write more soon...:)
