I've RESIGNed!
I know i said that i'm not resigning yet but there's this kind of resigning that i wanna do..
This one.

I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult.
I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 8 year-old again.
I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four star restaurant.
I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make a sidewalk with rocks.
I want to think M&Msare better than money because you can eat them.
I want to lie under a big oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hotsummer's day.
I want to return to a time when life was simple, when all you knew were colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes,but that didn't bother you, because you didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't care.
All you knew was to be happy because you were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you worried or upset.
I want to think the world is fair. That everyone is honest and good.
I want to believe that anything is possible.
I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be overly excited by the little things again.
I want to live simple again.
I don't want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountains of paperwork, depressing news, how to survive more days in the month than there is money in the bank, doctor bills, gossip, illness, and loss of loved ones.
I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, mankind, and making angels in the snow.
So . . . here's my checkbook and my car keys, my credit card bills and my 401K statements.
I am officially resigning from adulthood.
And if you want to discuss this further, you'll have to catch me first, cause.........
"Tag! You're it."

Forget being cool and calculated. You're running on high emotionally, and that's not even mentioning your energy level. Better cancel any plans for this evening that involve a guest list of more than one.

haha! i like my horoscope today! :)
well, before you start imagining things, i dont even have plans for this evening, except watch SHREK, watch SHREK and watch SHREK! Is it 5p already?!
some thoughts:
what will papa do now that he’s retired? Is retiring really what we are all looking forward to the minute we start working? What about the boardroom, that certain office aroma, your colleagues, deadlines, meetings, bossy bosses… won’t you miss all that? I heard him whine a few times about work, maybe its really time to go. Well, I cannot count the times I whined too so..

I’m thinking maybe its time for me to retire too. Makes me wonder, am I cut out for work? For this corporate world? The so-called corporate ladder of success seems exciting and challenging too – that makes it exciting I guess, to begin with. I always have this sense of fulfillment whenever I complete something valuable at work and at times I really don’t mind working overtime or spending more than half of my day in the workplace or on weekends even. Well, speaking from that, maybe its not time to retire yet..

holding hands

its from my company's intranet. they just donated $250K to UNICEF for the tsunami victims.
i know its not a huge sum but it will help. and there are many more hands out there who have done the same too.
