Show me the Money!

Monday, June 26th, 2006

The second richest man in the world, Warren Buffett, donates $37 Billion, that’s with a capital B, to Bills Gates’ foundation.

Here are a few questions running through my head when I read the news article in BBC:

  1. He has all that money to donate? Seriously?
  2. Why would someone donate so much money? Not only is the nominal value staggering, the amount accounts for an approximate 85% of his fortune!
  3. Where is the line?
  4. Who do I have to sleep with to amass such wealth?

I just got the result of my APE, annual physical exam, and here’s the result:

  • I have low HDL (high density lipoprotein) or ‘good cholesterol’ in layman’s term.
  • I have high VLDL or ‘bad cholesterol’.
  • I’m underweight. For my height, my ideal weight is from 141 to 170 lbs. I only weigh in at 137 lbs.
  • There’s something with my ECG result that they want me to check with a cardiologist. I’m prepared to hear them say that I have no heart. J

This week should be a light one for me. I’m off tomorrow and I have a 3-day training starting Wednesday. Life is good…for now. J

I need a haircut. Bong is not coming back until July. I’m scared to go to a different stylist.

Is it possible that pimple and uneven skin tone are stress induced? If you have medical evidence to support this claim, please let me know. I have a pimple the size of Mt. Everest that will dwarf even Enrique Iglesias mole…before he decided to mutilate it of course. And as if this is not enough I have uneven skin tone in spite of my regular exfoliation…ok not so regular but heck I do exfoliate from time to time…and daily cleansing ritual! I was up for almost 24 hours last Friday, I slept at around 930 the following morning and I wasn’t even out partying. I attempted to finish watching season 2 of Greys Anatomy but my eyes won’t cooperate and I had to abandon my ‘attempt’ because I have plans for the night. I was up after 5 hours of sleep. Wins and I are out of the province at around 6. We all barely made it to ‘Doubt’. Consi was working that day. Yes you read it right, she was working and on a Saturday! How weird is that? Rj beat us by a minute or so. Thank god Net was an angel and not one of us. She was there a good 30 minutes before the show. The play was about perception and reality. Sister Aloysius ‘doubts’ a priest and his ‘closeness’ to young boys and is unsure if she should confront the priest even without evidence to support her suspicions. We had dinner after, Consi had to go back to work though. After dinner, we went to Eastwood where Consi is staying for the weekend for a bottle of wine, 3 pints of ice cream, leftover food, and Xtreme Magic Sing! I get to finish Greys Anatomy on Sunday and start on Kim Sam Soon. Meredith is a surgeon from a dysfunctional family fell in love with a married man, who is also her boss whose wife is also working on the same hospital and is also her superior. To describe her life as messy and stressful is an understatement. Funny thing is the way she copes with it, she sleeps around. Don’t get me wrong, I am not judging her, far from it. I envy her! How does one do that? Don’t I have enough stress in my life to resort to such ‘coping’ mechanism? Ok don’t answer that. She’s not my favorite character though, it’s Dr. Yang. She reminds me of myself, detached, shrewd, logical, but soft in the inside. Thanks Nina for giving that fabulous testimonial! Tunay kang maaasahan. For the rest of you guys reading this, this is your last chance! Write me a testimonial or I will write you off my friendsters list and as an added bonus….mababaog kayo!

I’m frustrated that ‘A’ is holding off on approving my ‘assignment’ until we’re go for one of my projects. Bi-atch!

I’m anxious to know if I played my cards well for the past year to merit a good news come September. Hopefully I hear something sometime this month though.

To make matters worse, my perennial quarter life crisis is on a rampage!

Somethings wrong with the stars…my stars that is.

Create a testimonial for me will you? I can use a dose of therapy now.
