Diary of a Workaholic

Last time Craig and I talked, he asked me if Burma has Earth Hour. Only later I thought we actually do, but just that we practise it daily as opposed to making it a big event once or twice a year. So, yes, as economically ozone friendly as Burma is, 42 degrees sunray stang my skin and my house does not have any flow of amperes and voltages. I decided to go to my usual internet cafe, but they were suffering from 'connection loss'. So I went to the one that was a bit further and unfortunately slower, connection speedwise. I felt like shit and since it's been more than one day since I last talked to Craig, my conscience was just out of service.

I used to want to puke whenever I hear Dido's song "Thank you". So, she claims no matter how shitty her day is, she comes home, sees her other half and yay woohoo it's sexy time and she thanks him for it. I used to think that song was cheesy. Today, I didoed myself into seeing Craig online and just forgetting the 42 degrees sunburn, lack of electricity and even the slow speed at the internet cafe failed to erase the smile off my face. I talked with him for a short while and he called me and I talked to him on the phone.

As stupid as it sounds, I felt like a machine under the workage of solar storage. So, Craig would be the sun and I would function just as much as the sunlight given for me to store the powers. I run out of Craig, I stumble. I see him again, I recharge. So, as pathetic as I sound, my day became productive for such a workaholic as myself. Yes, I was doing officework at home. Fiddling with excel and marking down the indicators for the analysis done for our previous report book, I was going at it like an energizer bunny.

This stopped at six pm, when I craved for food. I thought I desevred a treat so I called KP up. He wasn't free. Then, I called DoubleA, who was just not in the mood. It was stupid but I understand how he was feeling. I do have my down days or lazy days as well. Then, I called KC and I told him and his wife that I would treat both of them to a dinner and beer and I would also pick them up if they would eat with me. It feels like buying a friendship out of a brother brochure but it did make me feel good. P.S. I do love these two so it wasn't much of a big deal to be treating people I love.

Peppers is one good restaurant for mixed grills and banana fritters with ice cream. The word 'diet' was deleted off my vocabulary list in my braincells for that mighty two hours where I was munching grilled meat and gulping them down with beer with a bit of a treat of the deep fried fritters with honey and vanilla ice cream. Now, KC was a winner of a rap freestyle competition. So, he's pretty popular in the rap scene, just not marketable in the industry. I blame it on the cheapness of the mainstream trash pop music in Burma. It's worse than Avril Lavigne. If there was anyone in rap who I could rapidly nod my head in agreement to respect, he's the guy who started the first hip hop group in Burma. One of them died, one of them jailed, one of them got married tonight and he, the leader, was out with his girlfriend and her family. His girlfriend is the daughter of a singer I hate so much ONLY cos I love her. I was her big fan and once at a show I wanted to sing a duet with her and she refused and she's been quite evil to me since then. Folks said she was just jealous that I made it to the music scene and her kids don't. I just think she was crack. But then again, I do like her a lot and that was why I hated her. So, while talking to her daughter, the truth came out. I told her how I love her mom as a kid and how her mother used to kiss me at a wedding ceremony when I was like around 4 years old. It's sad that her mother has NO IDEA how much of a fan I truly am. Shielding myself from celebs' payout humiliation, I just keep quiet and I just try to be as nice as I can to the daughter, who was actually a sweet girl.

Speaking of music industry, I have been asked TWICE already since I got back here to sing my most popular song. The question is.. WHICH ONE IS IT? I don't recall having a popular song but for some unknown reason, people see me as this kid with a one hit wonder and who's doing a comeback. My question still remains.. WHICH FUCKING SONG????
