A Place To Rest My Head

That's what I need most of the time these days, between handling arrangements for Mama's medical treatments and meeting the challenges at the office. It's really not easy, this balancing thing. I've already missed two executive meetings. No progress yet on the mentoring program I'm spearheading at work. I haven't gottern around to following through on the house construction plans. I haven't visited my doctor in months either. It's like the backlog both at work and at home is growing and all I can do is just resign myself to the thought that I can't really finish all I wanted to finish in the timeline I wanted. Some level of adjusting plans, re-prioritizing tasks, and accepting mediocre results is needed. Years ago, I blogged about how I need someone to smile at me. At this point, I need a spot to lean my head on, not just a mere pretty smile.

16.09.2008 Generation Gap
Despite my youthful looks and juvenile tendencies, I am mature. And it's getting more apparent specifically in my taste. For example, I really don't understand the phenomenon of High School Musical or the Cheetah Girls. I also don't see anything special about Mylie Cyrus or the Jonas Brothers either. Gaming, PSP,Wii? All foreign to me. The fashion sense of call-center agents I don't appreciate as well. And I specifically detest the the-world-owes-me misplaces sense of entitlement and confidence that today's students and college graduates exude. Really disturbing if the world will be led by these stuck-up pieces of c--p in the future. Too bad all of the above are the "in" things for this generation.

Come to think of it, I'm not even "in" with my own generation. They have their problems of "How do I hook up with this chick?", "My girlfriend's period is delayed", "Is the child really mine?", "When is the next mall-wide sale?", "Do I transfer to another gym?", "It's tuition time again for the kids", "Where do I apply next to get thrice my current salary, net of taxes?", "Where do I migrate?", "My car amortization's due", "Where do I buy a nice condominium?". And that's just a few. Some of MY questions on the other hand, go "Will I ever be able to build THAT house?", "How can I manager funding the house construction AND still afford Mama's treatments AND pay for expenses both at home and at work?", "How can I lead my projectmates well?", "Is THIS it?"
