Daily Happy Thoughts

I am in the crossroads. Not literally, though. Have you ever found yourself weighing your options and likening it to the analogy of the chicken and the egg? That is where I am precisely at right now. I am speaking in metaphors here. LoL.

Say you already have a chick, but at the same time, you have in your hands an egg, so full of potential. Whereas your chick is already right there before your eyes, your egg, however big it may be, is not 100% sure to hatch. So you are faced with a dilemma. The chick, or the egg? The egg could be that of an ostrich, and your full grown chicken would pale in comparison to that, right? I am finding it funny to think of it that way. Anyway, I am already quite tired from a day full of meetings. Time to rest. I leave you with a picture of what I am really trying to say. I found it funny. I hope you do too.

Last December of the year passed, as is customary and part of the yearly Christmas tradition, our company had our Christmas party at the function/activity lounge (if that is the right term?) of the condo of our boss somewhere in Makati. The party was complete with the overflowing food and drinks, and also had a light atmosphere as we partook in the games and got to know better our other companions in our department.

During the gift exchanging, with our gift value pegged at PhP350, I bought a mug from Starbucks and was wondering and somewhat excited in anticipation of whatever gift I may receive before the evening was over. Guess what I got? A PhP300 gift certificate at Power Books. The coupon is still valid until December of this year, and I haven’t quite identified yet what I want to get with the coupon. I guess I can get additional ideas online from Amazon books. I’ll try and check out from their list of best sellers and hopefully find something worth spending my Christmas gift..hmmm..I wonder if, by any chance, they happen to have a DSLR on there. LoL.

I have been meaning to blog in a long time. And I mean a loooong time. So much has happened recently that I have a lot of stuff going on in my head that I so wanna write about and express my thoughts but I have been quite busy the past few days. I have been doing quite a lot of travelling too.

Still vivid in my imagination last Monday of the previous week, the incident wherein I witnessed with my own eyes, when the crane we were using at work attempted to lift a 10-ton weight. The crane capacity was at 45 tons, so the confident operator was probably lax and was not anticipating any potential problem. However, as the hoisting line already tightened and already was in tension, the crane suddenly tilted to its side, prompting the operator to panic and release the load hoisted by the crane.  This caused the load to drop on top of another piece of equipment and toppled to its side, almost hitting the nearby steamlines. All the people who were in the vicinity scampered about for their safety and it was a good thing that no one was hurt. But still it got the adrenaline pumping throughout my body.

While looking at the sight, I was suddenly imagining all sorts of possibilities that could have happened and was thankful that we were still quite lucky since this accident could easily have resulted to a fatality, as well as it could have resulted to a substantial amount of property and environmental damage had it hit and severed the surrounding steamlines. It also got me to wondering if some of the guys were covered with updated insurance policies or if they ever evaluated the option to avail of insurance online. Because in just a snap of a finger, everything could change then and there.
