2 Days to NZ
Today is emergency packing day. Yes, panicking now.
I am not the best traveler in the world. I tend to over-pack, I forget stuff, and I don't get too much excitement from the thought of travelling alone. I do love to travel, but I want to have more control over my environments and my company.
I wan to visit Prague, The Alps, The Guggenheim Bilbao, theaters in Paris, the Redwood forests; basically places full of natural beauty and/or art. I want to travel with close friends and a partner. Or just a partner will do, haha.
Panic!
So far I have 3 orders of live sheep, 1 kangaroo, 1 whale, 1 kiwi. Seriously weird requests.
PANIC!
What should I buy back from New Zealand?

3 Days to NZ
Countdown starts.
Will be in New Zealand for my sister's convocation. Still not in the excited mode, but I guess I will get there soon enough.
Recently got back to playing Pokemon Emerald on an emulator. Classics indeed.
Today, an Art Director left. Watching the video of messages that was made really made me think of whether I want to be in this industry for long. I still don't know.

The Refusal Of My Assorteds
Weird title, but let's begin.
I'm going to rant/ramble for the most parts here, it's my form of natural introspection and totally within the existence of this blog, so skip if you feel obliged.
My circle of gay friends is very small. It is probably the lack of trying, or the lack of self-initiated follow up on my part, but again, if I have to initiate all the time, there may be something wrong with the friends I already have. Let's list several hypothethicals.
1. I'm not close with them. Several reasons here, we don't share similar interests (other than guys perhaps, and yet again, not the same type of guys in general) and we don't speak the same language (stylistically I mean, and bodily too).
2. In the gay world, nobody wants to be friends (or at least of the seemingly normal variants). You have normal friends for that. Your gay friends are meant to live the lifestyle, speak the language, act the part (again, stereotypes, but we are dealing with hypothethicals).
3. I'm finding/meeting the wrong ones (bad luck on my part).
4. I'm actually not mega out-able yet. I'm beginning to see that even though I don't mind people finding out about my status, I'm not exactly happy about going out to parade that fact to the world either. So I tend to shy away.
5. Despite my theoretical background of relationships, I am a sucky introvert who prefers a few close relationships, of which I don't exactly have (of the gay type). All the ones I know probably already have invested a close relationship with another friend(s) and that is not there fault or mine. Again, timing issue.
6. Everyone is busy when I'm not and vice versa.
7. I talk like your mum sometimes.
I really don't know where I'm going with this.
I'm just going to be the silent, passive type. Hmmmph. Totally doubt it works, haha.

Sincerity vs. Drama
These days, people tend to favor the riskier, less rational drama type, not as relationships, but friends to spice up their life with. I can see the logic in this, but somehow they keep complaining about the drama surrounding their life when they themselves surround their life with drama. Weird.
The case of sincerity isn't much stronger. They are always perceived to be more conservative and boring.
Stick with the right. By the way, please visit http://www.justiceharvard.org/, the first Hardvard course made public, accessible and free. The speaker, Michael Sandel, strikes his points right where it hurts. A must see.

So Fast Meh?
Thursday is here already.
Got 3 concept works this week and it's been quite the killer when you got to juggle your other jobs as well. Tomorrow is D-Day for one of them, hopefully it works out great.
Went out for dinner with old friends. Might be offered a copywriter opening at a bigger firm with a salary offer half times more than my current one. I doubt I'll be taking the offer, I don't have much experience yet in one place. It hell is tempting though, if I could get it.
This is the last weekend before my New Zealand trip. I am not exactly the most excited person, but I think I'll feel it when the time actually comes. What should I buy there? Wait, what should I do this weekend? Dilemma again.
Was talking to a friend the other day, and we discussed about life. We concluded:
No one cares about yourself more than yourself.
