Focus

I've been so focused on finding a research/medical/chemist job that I lost sight of what was truly important for my life. I lost track of my studying schedule. Maybe that's why I can't get any medical/science jobs -- maybe it's God way of telling me to focus on studying more than finding what will get me by these days.

It's kind of like finding true love. Maybe I should just let the job come to me instead of me trying so hard to find it. OF course, I won't stop trying hard to put myself out there, but now the realization that I just had just made me realize that getting myself into the career that I really want is much more important.

God has ways of providing for me.

My mother received a letter from the University Alumni Association about a health insurance benefit that I get as a graduate. It's "free" for 9 months. I got this letter myself during my PI vacation and I didn't get the chance to read it till I got back so I was pretty much passed the deadline date that was imprinted during that time, so I didn't register for it. However, here it is again, this time mom got it and deadline was extended. 

--- I am very glad that this happened because I am a little worried about health insurance these days since I know that I will be off of my mom pretty soon. God's little way of providing me -- lessen my worries per se. "Trust in Him, Do not be afraid"

NY Fashion Week from the eyes of Bill Cunningham

Watch the video. He makes a very good point about how women are having fun (and at the same time killing their feet) with their shoes.

Today...

* We had visitors during my work hours today. They are from the corporate office just trying to see how the place looks and how it's doing. One of the ladies has a British/Aussie accent when she said hi to me. I am amazed with British accents. 

* I was able to do some job hunting today. 

* I received another package from Proactiv today. I am sending it back as I have way too many kits  at my disposal right now. The customer service lady that I talked to at first told me that I had to pay shipping in order to send it back (big "HUH?" for me), so I decided to keep it. Then, I thought what's $5.95 vs $45? So, I gave them a call back to ask about the return shipping, this time it was a guy that I talked to and he issued me a return shipping label. Hmm.. I guess that lady was not completely trained on return policies. 

* Sites like these - unclutterer.com and thesimpledollar.com inspires me.

* I also remembered that I can get gift cards through ebay for less than $20-$30 their normal price. 

* Clinic did not call me today. I hope they call tomorrow.
