one week into the new year, and things aren't looking that bad. i just came from another one of those time-pressure tests that corporations like to give you to gauge your abilities. am a little pissed off coz i didn't finish the quantitative portion of the test (w/c i normally do). i will be placing a call at around 330 for the results. hope it works out.

ive gone swimming this first week. that's the main constant thing for me this 2006. i've got a swim coach that makes me swim laps and corrects my technique. it's pretty empowering to get your body to do things that you never do. i'm trying to get my technique perfect, so that i feel the most comfortable and relaxed in the water. i feel that what im going through actually is more of a transition phase 'coz doing the right things still don't feel completely natural. am trying to get to natural .

i've nothing else left to do today. i've got a book here that needs finishing. i can also always try to do some marketing that im supposed to do for a concert. but am just not into it just right now. for one thing, i'd need a ready phone. i'm here at an internet cafe, in a nice mall yes, but w/ no dedicated phone line. im not gonna waste my credits making cold calls. yeah, im cheap.

hmmm. why is "I'll never love this way again" piping in from outside. I thought this was a posh mall.
