I Kissed A Girl by Glee

I need to admit that I watch Glee for its musical numbers. Somehow, Season 1 was for the story, Season 2 was for Kurt/Blaine and Season 3 seems to be pulling out all the stops in songs for Santana. Excellent as I love her voice. The only thing I'm sad about is how Tina seems to be disappearing in Glee. Would really love Glee more if they tried to focus more on Tina too? I don't think I have ever heard a proper Tina solo since... Season1? Sigh. Hoping for more developments in the next few weeks.

Exams are over! Supposed to celebrate, but I head back to school everyday for meetings, trainings and other school related things. Why is it that I am unable to extract myself from school? Sigh, the sad life of being in the committee. When you're higher up on the hierarchy, the nearer you are to the people who hurl orders, and they turn to look at you all the time. The price I pay, but I guess its worth the title. Learnt a lot of things about others and myself, did a whole bunch of things that required higher order mental facilities and essentially moved away from naive little girl to cynical bitch. Not that I was ever really naive nor am I anywhere near as bitch-y as some of the girls I know, but you get the drift. Not the same girl I was when I stepped up to take up the position. Manipulating people is a very important skill to learn. No one can get through life easily without remote control-ling a few people here and there along the way. Being able to do everything makes you capable. Doing everything is stupid. And delegating everything to the right people is the hallmark of leadership. Yeah, there are some things that only you can do, but there are many things in life that many other people can do. So there's a need to understand the comparative advantages. Not the absolute advantage but the comparative advantage. Tricky little devil that we're not trained to find, but not finding it means running the whole show on your own, which is silly. The opportunity cost is the many beautiful things you could be doing with our precious time.

A string of activities all lined up for next few weeks. Gonna try my hand at a part time job around Christmas until next March too, so I foresee myself running myself ragged if I'm not careful. The main issue now is how many classes I should take next semester. Its either 3 or 4, and either way, I can graduate in time. Main concern would be how much time do I want to spend in school, how much time I want to allocate to my job, and more pressingly, cheer. Do I ignore my knee? Do I go ahead and fight for the trophy? Should work be of a higher priority? So many questions and no clear answers. There is this part of me that really wants the trophy and is willing to do anything for it. I mean, which self-respecting cheerleading president would want to leave the club before getting a trophy? Doesn't make sense to settle for 4th place when you know you were 1 point away from being 3rd. The competitive streak in me wouldn't let me walk away without putting on a fight, and with the team this year, assuming everyone commits to the competition, we could come back with 2nd if we're careful and dedicated enough. Naturally, my concern is the dedication factor. There's no way that I can win that trophy on my own, I need another 4 girls to be as dedicated, if not more dedicated, to be able to take that trophy. Which, as usual, is the both the problem and the solution that I am looking for. I guess things will depend on what I see from now to January. Will just do my best for now and hope everything works out fine.

Pressured this company that annoyed me until they gave in. Not going to say who they are, you should know if you've been keeping up with my FB and Twitter, since they've been smart enough to take measures to rectify their error. So no, I won't humiliate them on my blog and let them plummet into the annals of shame in cyberspace. Its important to ensure that you have a good corporate communication team in a company, or at the very least, a very good crisis management team. The new world is made up of people like me who have no qualms sending a few very politely snarky emails to demand compensation. Its part of what we're taught, that we are entitled to good service and we won't baulk and pointing out discrepancies. So yes, do hire me as part of your corporate communication staff, at the very least, you will potentially have one less snarky customer to worry about. I promise to be able to deliver sincere and effective communication to ensure that your customers are kept happy and non-irate. Customer service is vital to a company after all. Shameless self-plug ends here~

The song has been on repeat for something close to 2 hours. I really ought to get myself the full collection of all Glee songs. Repeating it on YouTube isn't exactly great fun, although I know it contributes to the revenues of the company. Hey, I don't believe in stealing songs if they can be purchased. I mean, its near impossible if its only released in a certain country and not allowed to be exported, the song isn't available on iTunes nor any other legal site, nor can I get it through any video website. Otherwise? I don't see a reason to steal music. Just my opinion.

"It felt so wrong/ It felt so right/Don't mean I'm in love tonight~"
