i was in a meeting this afternoon. one of the attendees was telling another one of the attendees that she didn't realize she was pregnant the prevous time they met.
the preggy lady said when she was not yet pregnant, there were those who thought she was. and now that she is, there are those who think those are just love handles protruding from her belly.
i shared with them an embarrassingly funny experience i had re being mistaken for pregnant. the hubby and i didn't go to this market for a while and when we came back, one of the stall owners happily greeted me with, 'oh, so you've given birth!'
huh?! i was never pregnant... : }
being seen
i've so many times transferred offices: to this wing, to that floor, to this building. in all those transfers, i was the only one being transferred -> i'd transfer because i'll be taking on a new work assignment.
well, in this my latest transfer, i retained the assignment but had to physically transfer my office (stuff and staff), partly to another building, partly to another floor in the same building. logistical and physical hardship : }
the good part, however, is that the transfer gave us the opportunity to start afresh. our new offices are, you could say nicer, but muuuch smaller. we were forced to prioritize. we were forced to sort our stuff. which should we bring? leave behind? archive? shred? throw away?
i've previously held office in the main transfer location for more than six years. the office has floor-to-ceiling glass walls; it has glass doors. you had no privacy. i was used to that then. but then for almost four years now, i've been holding office in opaque-walled spaces. you can sit this way and that, take off your coat if you feel like it, walk around in comfy footwear not necessarily matching your outfit and pretty much no one would see you. now i have to unlearn those habits. people could walk by anytime, could see you through the glass walls anytime.
it called to mind the One Above. you cannot really hide anything from Him. i hope i've been living my life in such a way that it could withstand His scrutiny.

yellow teeth
i have yellowish teeth : }
no, i don't smoke, never did. from as far back as i can remember, i've never really had white teeth. they've always been somewhat yellow : }
years back, i raised it with my dentist and he said my teeth are actually good teeth. they're supposed to be strong. hmmm... i don't have a single false tooth. yup, maybe they're strong alright.
anyway, whenever i see someone with really nice, white teeth, i sort of wish i, too, had teeth as white. but then i don't really want to undergo any treatments. i am big on all-natural. then last saturday, i noticed colgate advanced whitening in the supermarket shelves. hmmm... toothpaste falls under natural to me. i immediately got a tube. it touts whiter teeth in 14 days. we'll see...

lazy
i was buying two pieces of the same item. upon payment, the vendor said she doesn't have enough change and asked whether i have a smaller bill.
i checked. i had small bills enough only for one item. i told the vendor i'll buy just one piece then.
suddenly, she said she'll check whether she could find enough change. she so quickly did.
i got to buy two pieces after all.

go for it
someone sought my advice (?!) on a heart matter. my two cents was simple:
you meet so many people in a day, you meet so many people in your life. but of all those people, there are only a handful, fewer even, who bring a smile to your heart. that is special. unless you're going to step on someone else's toes, that is something worth pursuing...
