I smell something fishy…
Well not literally.
I work in a very congested place. In a Porta-Cabin. Since I'm always on-site, I have to tolerate all the bad naughty men, their misbehavior, their bad smell, and whatnot.
I'm the only local girl, and the ONLY female in this hell-hole, aside from the two secretaries. I do like my colleagues: two from Philippines, one Canadian, two Britons, and one Indian. But I don't like the visitors we get from outside. Our office holds $500,000,000 worth of projects, and we lack in staff…talk about managerial order, not.
But never mind that, I can handle anything that goes around in this hell-hole, but what I cannot stand and put up with is the smell... Smell of bad breath and perspiration that come from that filthy body of theirs. Especially our janitor. Whenever he comes into my office (well I don’t have an office per se, but a small space) I try to hold my breath as long as possible. I even choked on my own breath once. I cannot describe the smell. It's strange, never have I encountered such smell.

The thing that agitates me the most is that I cannot force myself to tell him about his bad odor…I'm too sweet ;p.. He only hangs around 2 hrs every morning. So, I promised myself to have patience .... And to get a grip ;p.
Now I start bringing air fresheners and candles (not allowed) to the office.
Good thing, we will all be allocated into a different office…except for the poor janitor.

Bits & Bobs
Hey guys! I'm announcing my come-back =)
I have been neglecting my blog space, simply because I don't know what to write in it.
I do read several particular blogs, and I could relate to some of them. But I just can't seem to start blogging.
I'm a lazy bum =p. But I promised my nagging sister, N.A., that I'll be a good girl and keep my space running.
I don't like sharing my personal experience with anyone, especially when it means publishing it on the World Wide Web =p I mean, for all I care, I might be scrutinized for what I write and maybe tracked down by a psychopath ;p
Anyway, I thought of beginning writing about random things about myself; bits & bobs.
1. This weekend, I have been pulled over by a cop and given a ticket for passing a red signal. I know for sure I passed the YELLOW signal--not red. He didn't stop the driver behind me. Chauvinistic to the core. And to let everyone know, I hate driving, but I'm obliged to...occasionally.
2. I like Waterlemon's crepe. So on Wednesday, I deliberately went and ordered one to go. It was around 11 at night. When I got home, I was too tired to eat, so I stuffed it in the fridge. The next morning, I cursed myself for doing that--the crepe was all soggy and bad ;( But I ate it anyway.
3. I once took interest in nail care. I never grow mine to be long and glam. They always break. So I thought of trying fake nails (I thought I had to since it was my aunt's wedding, I wanted to look all glam & shimmery from head to toe). Anyway so I sat for around 1.5 hrs to have them get fixed and glued. When I got home I couldn't stop tapping on anything infront me, and I liked the sensation of running my fingers (with long nails) through my hair. Anyhow, after two weeks of having them, they grew longer and started to irritate me. This is when i started using a pen to dial numbers from my phone ;p.
4. I have a hip that makes a weird cracking sound, shall I have it examined?
5. Once, In a mid Pennsylvanian harsh winter, I walked to the bus stop with wet hair and no beanie or skully to cover my head (very stupid idea). Five minutes later, my hair got all icy. Without any exaggeration, icicles started forming at the end of my roots.
6. I don't have any leisure pursuits or any other kind of personal interests (according to n.a. ;p)
7. I'm scared of any creature or moving thing other than human beings. But I try to be friendly around them. (I'm not scared of insects)
This is about how long I could stand writing about random stuff.
I sincerely hope you enjoyed it.
More to come....
