I am back here in Taipei. Back to work. I arrived yesterday via EVA airways. As expected, seems like I never really had a vacation.

I'll narrate what transpired on my vakay.

On the day of my arrival, I met with some of my previous officemates. Not all of the people invited was able to make it though. Some had something came up, others really never bother at all and other personal reasons which I don't care in the first place. We are about 10 I think. The gathering did not went through as I expected. Same old people. Same old drama. From the group, there were only 4 of us who are still single although the two are already attached. I was again asked if I had a girlfriend already (for the nth time). As embarrassed as I am, I just smile and said "None". Come on, I want to have one but I can't fall in love with someone who I haven't met yet. I am pressured with myself already and additional outside anxiety will not help me.

This day is a busy day for me. I had number of tasks saved on my PDA cum cellphone. Good thing is that I was able to accomplish all of them except for applying for international roaming which I forgot to list for the nth time. Bummer!

I went to the office. I saw her. She is quite happy. I still feel jittery though not that much. Of course she doesn't know. As the song goes " I am just a friend, that's all I ever been, 'cause you don't know me". She is in fact the first girl I ever liked.

I was surprise to learn that I had an increase contrary to the previous post I made. I learned that since there are many employee looking for a new job outside and that there are many who have resigned, they decided to have a portioning of the salary of the those who have left the company. I had more than 10% increase. Not bad at all. As of this writing, my salary and all of the retroactive pays has been credited to my payroll account. And I need to decide what to do with all the money on that account. Hehe.

One of the boss offered me an insurance. I am planning to get a pension plan. But let's see.

Looks like one of my officemate who just left Taiwan for good is coming back by the end of this month. His lady friend gave him a round trip ticket to Taiwan for him to attend the house blessing of his taiwanese lady friend. What a lucky guy, right?

Oh, and I had a new haircut and a new hair color. I was quite sad because it took me months to grow my hair that long. But more often I think of cutting it short and I suffice it last monday. I just hoped the hairdresser left my hair a bit longer. But hey, I think my hair now is not bad at
all. Good thing my hair grows very fast.

I had a long chat with a friend who is in Las Vegas. We talked anything under the sun. She is really intelligent and I need those kind of conversations. Its just so nice that after how many years of not seeing each other we still remained friends and I hope it will always will.
