  • Quiet Time

    Hello from sunny San Francisco!

    My days have been semi-productive work days. For the past week I spent a lot of time in my room, in front of the computer, sleeping in and tackling to do lists. All that work has led up to a final chaotic weekend right before my big trip to Singapore and Malaysia!

    This weekend has been a whirlwind and it's only just begun. Yesterday one of my roommates from college came to my house to meet up, then I drove both of us to San Francisco to meet with three other girls. I wish I could see them more often - we're all spread out. We all stayed at my parent's condo last night. Yay sleepover! Just like old times. Honestly this was probably like the worst weekend to take time off from work but... like I wrote about earlier... I couldn't say no.

    Being here reminds me of the time I was here with Alex and Dee over the summer. :) I thought my friends had plans but it turns out that we had lots of free time to fill... so I found myself happily turning into a tour guide. More on that later.

    Right now they're shopping downtown at the Westfield San Francisco Centre and I'm alone in the condo, hoping to get some work done. As much as I love shopping, I've probably done enough of it in the past month lol. And I only have a few more days to finish my work before I leave the country. I have a list of assignments from Junshien, three sessions to edit/upload online and a photography blog to publish.

    Sometimes I wish there was a way to escape my job. I mean I take breaks often (too often) and I don't work ALL the time, but whenever I'm out with friends or family, work is in the back of my mind. It makes me feel guilty for not working. My favorite phrase for the past two months: I should be working.

    Like now. I should be working. I'm tempted to take a nap instead... -.-

    come on ... don't feel guilty for taking a break every once in a while. give yourself off-days. Cheers!!!

  • i like how you snuck your username in there. sweet ;) .
    I wish i had a big trip to plan for...or something of the like. i know things might be stressful, but think back on the time where you weren't even sure where you were going profession wise or when you weren't as established as you are now--you got there via hard work and to stay there & move up...you have to keep putting in the hard work. but lucky for you, it' something you love.

  • Days off are okay every now and then. :)

    I can't wait to hear about your trip!

  • have fun on your trip! Like seriously, don't fret about work :)

  • and yes, I used "fret". Not often that I get to use that word :D

  • have fun on your trip!  =)

  • Remember, no one at their death bed ever regret that they didn't work enough.

    We work to live, not live to work.
