ok i know i haven't always been an honest man when it comes to keeping up with the commitments made, although i am likely to say "yes" even before one finishes asking. call it irresponsible but i'd like to think of it as the curse bestowed upon us, the beautiful people of the water-bearer sign. hehe.

ok i know it has been months since i last resurrected this space, without much of a resurrection. hehs. well, i'm not a maestro novelist like isaac asimov or candace bushnell *i think you guys would be more familiar with the latter* but sometimes i kinda get what they mean by author's block *or is it writer's block?* - either way, what i'm trying to say is it's not always that i get the "modjo" to string-up words to narrate something in an interesting and appealing manner. so i think i will let that be the guiding rule for this blog from now on.

ok i know i haven't really talked much about me, so let me let you in a little on the recent happenings in my life. ahh life. if i can still call it that without a hint of skepticism - life has been torturous for the past few months, the plant has been acting up consistently and i've *together with the team, of course.* been in a fire-fighting mode since october *post-eid-mubarak*. i swear that the feeling is not mutually exclusive, and i would - and i will, if offers come - bet my behind that the team is already mega-saturated with the replicating and repetitive issues. try putting "sru" and "shutdown" together in a sentence, and i'm sure they will have puke gurgling up their throat. serious shit.

and if you think that i'm just overreacting and being a bit too melodramatic? let's switch for a few months - if things go well then i'll know it's me who's cursed. *ouch.*
