*Names have been changed to protect the individuals protrayed in the following blog-- namely to protect me!
It's been 4 months since the segregation begun. (is that even correct grammar?) Winston, unknowningly to himself, had gotten on everyone's hate list--even his own team wanted nothing to do of him.
No one can pinpoint when it first started, but Britany (wink wink) grew irritated of his antics from the start. She found his pride to bigger than elephant's shit and a major know-it-all, whom of course, knew nothing at all.
Timmy: all around cool guy(team a) ====> for a lack of creativity and better name
Lucy: all around cool gal(team a)
Winston: black sheep(team a)
Britany: cool chica from a foreign land(team b)
Dorothy: bad ass chica(team b)
To get the readers (you) up to speed, I'll do a very brief summary of the past 4 months.
*Britany finds Winston to be a major know-it-all
*Britany finds Winston to be full of shit
*Everyone thinks Britany is over reacting (we shall see about that)
*Timmy gets annoyed with Winstons constant questions about irrevelant subjects
*Lucy, being asked the same questions, also gets annoyed
*Dorothy gets frustrated at Winston for not producing effective materials
*Timmy gets more irritated at Winston's work attitude
*Lucy almost flips when Winston asks which printer to use for the umptenth time
*Britany, Timmy, Lucy and Dorothy hold a meeting to discuss the situation
*Timmy and Lucy both conclude that Winston is dragging them down
*Timmy and Lucy want Winston out
The list of things goes on, but I'm sure you get the jist of things. The group will try to include Winston on outings, but sometimes, its just not worth it. Today was a prime example:
*Britany and Lucy go out to lunch
*Lucy asks Winston if he wants to join--he declines, noting that he's not hungry
*Dorothy joins Britany and Lucy for lunch and they go out about their business
*After lunch, Lucy hears from Person A that right after Britany and Lucy left, he asked her to eat lunch with him. Person A then questions him "didn't Lucy just ask you to lunch?" Winston replies that he wasn't hungry when she asked (which was like minutes earlier). Anyhoo, he also mentioned that maybe he was someone that was difficult to be around or some shit like that. In the end, he bought his lunch and ate it in the office (by himself).
*Person A told Lucy about Winston asking her out to lunch and Lucy thought it was weird
*Lucy then tells Britany
*Britany tells Dorothy
*Dorothy tells Person X
Moral of this story? Chinese people are bitches and gossip like crazy. OH, and that Winston needs to 1) lower his pride, 2) listen to people, 3) stop being a freakin tattle tale-- yes, he told on us... freakin prick, and 4) get his ass into gear at work.

Feng Shui
After 6 months at Batey, I finally decided to rearrange my cubicle for better feng shui. I took a panorama pic with my cell phone and will post it later tonite.

12 days and counting...
I feel the need to revise my New Years Resolution list (again). I've been late to work every single day this month! Ridiculous...
Work has been lagging and I'm tempted to clear a space underneath my desk and make it into my resting area. I wonder if a bean bag will fit? Interesting... Hmm, I think I'll just bring a pillow to work.
One more week of work and it'll be Chinese New Year. Please don't be swayed from my lack of enthusiasm for the holidays. I really am looking forward to it. I have great plans, great plans. Sleeping, eating and sleeping rank top on my list. But of course you'll say "what's so special about that?" I'll tell you my friends, I'll be sleeping, eating and sleeping on the white sandy beaches on Boracay Island. Google it, I'm positive you'll be filled with envy. ^_^

Friday the 13th
Been feeling like a zombie lately. Work has lost its excitement, working out has become routine and life feels a bit empty~ I think this is a result of being burnt out from work. I have a trip later this month and I seriously cannot wait.
I saw a posting for an English reporter for a car magazine and applied for the heck of it. I got a call back within the hour and the lady was a slow ass mother fo'. She asked if I was currently working, where I was working, what my current position is, what department, how long, etc. and those freakin answers are all on my resume. I even flat out told her, "the questions that you're asking now are all on my resume..." and being the slow ass mother fo' that she is, kept on asking stupid questions, "did you just graduate college?" >_<" I do not want to work for stupid people and that lady was just plain stupid.

Revisions....
I think I need to revise my new year resolutions list. It's still the first week into the new year--don't we get like a 2 weeks grace period?
Anyhoo, here there are:
1. Try not to be LATE to work! (I've been late twice already)
2. Eat healthier. (I guess this means no more weekend pizzas)
3. Save some freakin money.
4. Do something that I ordinarily wouldn't do.
5. Run 4 km a day, 4 days a week (I'm in Taiwan, we don't do miles here)
6. Travel to Malaysia and Singapore. (I'm going to the Philippines end of the month!)
7. Be more giving, as in volunteering/doing charity work
8. Listen more. (I tend to space out when people talk)
9. Be more understanding of the Taiwanese culture. (This is my way of saying that I need to quit being a bitch to the locals)
10. Find fulfillment in work.
11. Have a lil fun. (think back to age 22)

Happy New Year!!!
Spending the holidays in Taiwan is very interesting. For new years eve dinner, a bunch of us went to Hooters for their spicy hot wings. I mean, who would've thunk? Hooters for new years eve dinner? But it was fun and the food was goooood. I have 2 freshly acquired pimples, compliments of the Hooters Tower and the hot wings.
I caught the Taipei 101 fireworks on the rooftop of my office building with fellow co-workers and Hooter-mates. It was pretty spectacular, but since the wind was blowing in our our direction, all we could see was smoke--eerie remininse of the 911 attacks. o_O (and the traffic afterwards lasted for the next couple of hours) I heard about 2 million people went to the Hsin Yi district to watch the fireworks?? Crazy ass number considering how small the area is. We packed it in Mexican style!
Anyhoo, here comes the New Year Resolutions list:
1. Cut back on coke and other forms of soda (so far, I haven't done a very good job)
2. Run 3 miles a day, 4 days a week.
3. Smile more
4. Dress more professionally at work
5. Carpe Diem!
6. Finish my SE Asia excursion
7. Learn to budget
- NT 1000 a week for lunch
- NT 3500 to be put away (savings)
8. Volunteer
9. Have more weekend getaways (getaways till this date: 0)
10. Travel to China
11. Try to be more giving and less vain
12. Stick to 4 of the listed things.
