Stomach cramps sidelined me for most of today, so basically nothing got done. i don't know why they happened either; my best guess is that it was caused by food from a nearby chinese braised food place last night. the effects happened after 12+ hours though, so i don't think that the food was the main reason. whatever it is, it resulted in me sleeping most of the afternoon away to distract myself from the pain. i'm feeling about 55% now, and with some luck, i'll recover enough for work tomorrow. worst case, i can take an MC.

i've been wanting to blog about this for a while, but kept forgetting to. i read that if someone's really good at/on top of something, that thing is probably one of their top 3 priorities. makes sense, when you think about it. like how the guy goes to the gym 6 times a week to stay healthy and reduce the chance of cancer recurring. the message was like, not to be discouraged if you're not as good at something as someone else is, because it could be their priority but not yours. at the same time, i do think it works the other way too. if you want to become good at something, you should make it a priority. something for me to think about, especially in the weight loss and house organization aspects.

a few more heavy thoughts are rattling around in my brain, but they're not organized/substantial enough for me to write about yet. the fact that i'm still not feeling so good (condition improved to 65% after some pho) doesn't help either. guess i'll call it an early night, then see how i feel after waking up tomorrow. i should be able to recover by wednesday for the company event in the afternoon. a small relief is that i'm ahead of my KPI, although i can't rest on my laurels there either. more annoying is that i need to make sure that i don't submit cases too quickly, lest the promotion process is triggered early. there's a whole bunch of considerations there that i don't want to get into now, also i need some confirmation from HR regarding the promotion process in general. might poke them by end-july if nothing is heard by then.

-random thought of the day: Recover faster!-
