Ob

My appointment with the OB how lame is that! (And a little TMI but do indulge me a little ) 

I just wrote that as a reference for when I can already write about it however unwittingly it got published. So yes, I have yearly appointment with the ob just the standard check up and tests such as sono mammogram for the breast and Transvaginal  ultrasound where 

the gyny insert some sort of a rod inside your vags (creepers this is not in any way sexual so if your reading now, bye!) to test presence of cyst or abnormal growth and also my other purpose is to test if my eggs are still healthy. Yes I'm still planning on procreating one of these days. (Soon I hope tick tick!) but in case that's not in the cards, I can always opt for adoption. I have so much respect for people who opt for that choice. Giving birth as they say doesn't always make one a mother.  Then there's always some other options such as IVF, surrogate and freezing ones egg for future use. The  possibilities are many as they are however expensive. Case in point, Scarlett snow Belo. The adorable toddler of Dr. Vicki Belo and her soon to be hub, the hunky and younger man dr Hayden Kho. Me and my OB, ( I already like her because she's very relatable and down to earth and a bit young to be a doctor) we're discussing how now there are many ways to get pregnant although as she said it's not all foolproof some has to undergo several tests and fails before being really successful. Janet Jackson was pregnant and has given birth at 53, something unimaginable say maybe 10 or 15 years before. All these actresses who gave birth at age almost forty such as Jenifer Lopez and Julia Roberts and even gave birth to twins. Sarah Jessica  parker thru a surrogate and all this others celeb moms - hello Beyoncé. My doctor said that a lot of women nowadays come to them seeking help for conceiving. The changes of the modern world has indeed affected this situation where women has careers and chose to have kids later on in life. 

So going going back to Vicki Belo she is almost 60 and have a baby thru a surrogate - a million dollar baby so to speak. But I guess the joy Scarlet Snow brought  to their family is nothing in comparison. 

Blitses

Reeling in their new capacity to pay and maybe raging hormones we would always find this new PNP officers on training a warm lead for our sales blitzes. And every time they don't disappoint.. Some officemates would tease us that our market are really men in uniform. We would always go to camps, be that  the city or the mountains just to get sales for our postpaid lines. Lately, our blitzes includes the new construction in the city so we always have to be "cowboys" and be one of the boys.  I don't know how much of this I can take anymore but well it's all in a day's work...

Career drama

Career goals and what not! 

 Have I been complacent or have I been living my life? Xx years in this company and I haven't been climbing the corporate ladder. Now I know that I have created an impression that I'm indifferent to  getting bigger roles but in reality I was just not given equal chances. It's true that maybe you should know which side your bread is buttered on..When your boss likes you you will be given lots of opportunities and in my case I have never really made an effort to kiss anyone's ass so to speak...When I like you I am genuine in most of my actions. But maybe that's not how it all work.. To be fair, I've also covet promotions. I've been hurt when I've been passed on a promotion, when I didn't get the bonus I was hoping. I was even relocated to another area at some point. And I made the most of it. It was actually one of the most fun times in my life. I've meet some people who has to become permanent in my life- my best friend Sheree and with that I am thankful.  Yet I felt unappreciated at work. 

  And because of that I've created an aura of not giving a fuck.. I go to work, I don't involve myself with office politics and I try to be nice to everyone. And I travel as much as I can. For me life is all about balance. My only regret would be I wasn't issued a US visa. I applied twice. It has something to do with my salary not being enough or the consul think so...And maybe he is right...My girlfriends has got kickass careers - one is a country director for a major mobile  company and  she will be handling Asia soon. the other one is a political chief of staff of a senator - she would travel the country via a chartered plane, she hobnobs with politicians and celebrities .Do I envy them,  a little  I know how good they are their strengths and their passions and maybe because I know  also that  I could write  I can be a PR person and maybe given the right training I can do more. But I love them and we support each other in any way we can..they never made me feel like I am a failure...we still travel together and make plans together. Arrgh I'm in this little rut again. But at least a few days back I finally got the certification for the 10 day training we attended for the company - a mini MBA certified by Japan -AOTS. I don't really know if this will help me in any way but the training itself has been a journey of some sort..I've talked about it in one of my previous entry. Anyways my take away if any from all of this is that - Do not bite the hands that feed you and Never  burn bridges...
