a dose of iodized salt required

so i slept at around 8pm last night and woke up around 1am to start studying for my operations management written exams later tonight. i can almost always absorb stuff faster in the morning than in the evening - probably because my mind switches to party/relax/off-mode after office hours. waking up early in the morning gives me a clean slate - nothing's really on your head yet. so i was browsing through 300 slides or so of previous presentations from my OM class and quite surprisingly, nothing was registering. it was like i was just mouthing the words in the presentation but not understanding a single detail. buti na lang essay exam sya - pero this professor is quite strict sa grammar so i'd have to write carefully.

no word yet whether i passed my financial management exam two weeks ago. i am hoping for the best. that exam was freakin' hard.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the last exam was management science. that was the first exam i enjoyed. it was actually not that hard, though i abhorred one portion on the simplex method. duh, why did they call it simplex if it was really hard - it should be named complex. setting up the lp equations was easy, the PERT was easy, and the transportation problem using vogel's approximation method was easy. i am pretty sure i passed this exam.

i can't believe its mid-march already. time really flies by so fast. i wouldn't say its mid-summer already, cause that'll be come april. it just surprises you that 1/4 of the year is almost over. my focal passdown is scheduled on the 27th. i am really hoping for a good rating & increase this focal. reasonable expectations? naaah, i want 25-30% increase. that will make me happy. i'm not sure if they plan to promote me to grade 8 .... sana, sana!!! one more grade and my benefits (aka perks) increases. wishing wishing .... well dream BIG di ba?

so i have copies already of the core secrets exercises courtesy of lea (copied by ronald) - this is reputedly what keeps brook burke in tip-top shape. so i need to buy that giant ball & some lighter dumb bells before i can begin doing the exercises. 5 dvds. i want to get in shape for august - flat abs, better biceps. pa-cute di ba? can't wait for this freakin' term to end. next terms, its not going to be this heavy so i can go back to the gym.

i've been putting it off for the longest time, so i will go visit our neighbor dentist saturday (just heard our out-of-town gimik will not push through) and start the arrangements to get braces. he said last time with my teeth, around a year or so lang daw. one year isn't really a long wait. besides, with the braces installed, i should not be eating as much.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i was chatting with dino a few weeks back and our conversation drifted to how much 'healthier' we have become. him, getting fat cause of his asthma that prevents him from going to the gym lately, and me getting fat cause i've been a lazy pig. we talked about that probably considering meso-lipo as an option, with him saying both his brothers have done it cause they wanted a 6-pack and after the meso, e they have 4-pack abs na. beat that! hmmmm, its probably something to consider ... i need lang naman sa stomach area e. P20k kaya ok na?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
so here i am, 47 minutes after i started this post ... not getting any headway in my OM review. I'd better get some coffee in my system and seriously start reading the dang slides.

x's : i wish fish says hi today or text something. la lang, happy pill.
