sometime ago...well, a few years ago to be exact, i wrote about the boy who dared to tell the emperor that he was naked. at that point in time, i was that boy.
it didn't feel good when you face the wrath of not just the oblivion emperor...but also the wrath of those who have lived their lives weaving stories and making a living out of lying to the emperor.
today, i'm in the same position - albeit older, just a little wiser...but still not wise enough to face off the mass who lied to the emperor.
with age, with authority, one would think that the weight of the truth could be more palatable. on the contrary, with age, with authority, the general expectation is for you to join the game and lie along to the emperor.
i'm tired. this is an endless game. just bring me HOME.

changes
recently, there has been a lot of changes at work. M is leaving this Friday, news is that Superman is leaving for good, whilst Austin is also transiting out. I can't imagine the shakeup these changes will cause. Obviously, M's impact will be less than the other 2.
interestingly, this has been one of the "most-persistant" jobs in my entire career. maybe it's my karma, maybe it's the fact that the hard work literally translated into rewards. regardless of the reason, the fact is - i'm still here.
the sand castle remains, the round trips continue, and the politicking never abatted. all i can say is - i'm still here.
SIGH

The i word
lately...integrity has come up as a hot topic.
once upon a time, i lost my integrity. at that time, i pulled through with the grace of God and my loved ones. i resolved to start anew and with humility.
i stuck good to the resolution...and stayed factual. it was not easy, it still is not easy. it's never easy playing clean politics.
just recently...i find it tough to hang in there. with fear and stress, i crumbled and broke down. it's really not easy. i could only calm down when the base of my head was stroked like a baby.
i don't want to be pushed into a corner...and lose it again. some call it survival of the fittest. i call it brutality.
please...if You hear my plea. i need to persist at being a better person.
my new resolution this year is to be a person with integrity.
