happy streak

V has been teasing me about how much effect someone's hug had on me. hahahaha! since thursday i've been on a happy streak. i have finally thrown off that dark cloud that had been hovering since my birthday.

so let me recap: thursday was the big presentation day. i was the only one from the agency to present. it was a seriously super important workshop and my presentation was supposed to be the one that sets the rest of the presentations. i did pretty well, and had my clients beaming at the end of it. and of course, the hug that suffused me with much warmth and happy energies. the hug repeated at various points of the day, multiplying the happy energies bubbling inside of me. i think the downside of living on your own is you don't get as much hugs. when i was with my parents i could just shuffle over to my sis or my mom and lean against them and say "hug." and i would get my hug. of course, the kind of hug i get from them is different from the spontaneous kind i get from, let's say, happy clients, but a hug is always healthy.

so thursday i got full and extra doses of hugs, and Ch even gave me a kiss on the cheek because she was so happy and proud at the success of my presentation. for my part i gave J a lot of hugs for being a super efficient manager and who took care of making sure my presentation ran smoothly (we had a lot of glitches since we had to work with a PC and powerpoint. ugh.)

when i got back to the office i got a lot of compliments on my dress which upped my happy quotient even more. and i was happy to go home and finally be able to grab some sleep.

friday was interview day for new applicants as well as long talks with V and L, my senior girls. very much inspired, i came up with a plan to grow good team members and to balance the slightly misled work values in today's generation of twenty-something new workers (we're having slight glitches with the current babies that i will need to address as soon as possible). the three of us had a grand time with the interviews and i think our applicants did too. we had five grilled within an inch of their lives. four passed to the next stage and one i passed on to MomT, who's looking for someone in her team and i think the girl has better potential with her since the girl preferred to be more in the office than on field.

i also had a talk with P (my future boss, oh i am soooo happy) and she approved my idea of reviving the training school for my team. i'm going to do a proposal document and submit it to Okane-san. it is all so exciting! i think i'm about to make another important mark at work. *sigh* if it were this easy and smooth in love... hahahahahaha!

so last night i watched He's Just Not That Into You with V and L and we were giggling and laughing all throughout and also teasing each other about scenes that seemed horribly familiar in our too-real lives. my favorite in the movie is the story of Alex and Gigi. i think Alex is soooo Jacob. in two words : totally clueless. hahahahahaha!
