Being a vegetarian...

So I have been a vegetarian for about 4days and a half now. I decided to stop and reflect on what I actually achieved by doing so.
I feel a lot healthier. Sometimes it drove me nuts seeing people eating meat or just smelling it around, but somehow I could restrain myself from biting into one.
There are a couple of good things about being a vegetarian. First it makes you feel and eat healthier, but I guess that also depends on how you choose and diversify your menu. For example, I can be a vegetarian by just eating bread and still feel sick and overweight. On the other hand, I can be a healthy vegetarian by choosing to eat more veggies, salad, fruit, tofu, rice and watever that is non-meat. My 4days and a half focuses on diversifying my eating items. It was quite difficult, but not impossible. I used to even say I would die if I can't have meat in a day... now that statement seems pathetic :)
2nd thing, people says being a vegetarian can help you become less bad-tempered, which is a character I possess. The nutritions and vitamin in fruits and veggies plays an important part in balancing your mineral intakes and increase your blood flow. (excuse my non-scientific language). Other theory which I just heard today was that, meat are produced by slaughtering animals during which time they were under so much pain and distress. Therefore, the meat output from there pertains that pain and distress of the animal while being killed... As a result, if you eat meat, you take in yourself that pain and distress, and you will have a bad-tempered. It is not scientifically, but it makes sense to me. Sometimes I take those explanations pretty seriously.
3rd thing, I can contribute more for a cleaner enviroment by eating no meat. Cattles have been raised just to get killed and be served as food for us. That process exhausts the land, the cycle of biological world and the environment.
I actually became more environmental conscious after watching "An Inconvenient Truth", a documentary film on Global Warming by Al Gore. I highly recommend this!!!!!

Anyway, I think I will do this on a regular basis, maybe a week per month! :)

turbulent time for Wall str, turbulent time for us

as our team leader left for not just for a better opportunity out there but also because it is way beyond his limit to stand all the company craps including unskilledfull manager, mean colleagues, and quite a stubborn-but-always-think-he-knows-stuff CEO/boss. 

Anyway, enough of that. It caused me thinking if what I'm doing is right or I am wasting my time on a career I don't see much future with. Actually it got some potential, but I never thought I would turn my steering wheel to the media industry. I'm too much of a Democrat to be able to work in this oppressed and undemocratic enviroment. I'm good at being blunt, and thats what I want to be. I'm gonna see how things are turning out in a fe month. One good news though, we might be on air sometimes in December. I would love to see that happens.

Frustrations over people...

I really need to put this message out:

2 Nga: GROW UP! I'm sick of you acting stubborn and irresponsible. You told me to tell to your face that you made a mistake. Yeah, I can do that, but I won't. Have some respect for yourself and start taking things seriously, okay!
Thats harsh, but I really need to tell you since I'm still your friend.

And another frustrating thing at work happened. I'm sick of people not taking responsibility, sick of people who can't care enough about our team's work, but always try to get in the way and make things harder for us, sick of people who think they have a lot of experience in this broadcasting industry but never intend to teach us anything, sick of some people of other teams never doing works and the only thing they're good at is to distract us with all their noises and laughing.... Argg.. Maybe I'm a bit exargerating, I'm just really mad.

It also troubles me that how much people believe in the news without double checking the source or ask questions about it. If you don't know about the scandal and you read it just from a blog or a personal site, how much of that scandal is relevant, why don't you try asking more questions and make some objective judgement about it. Think it once, think it twice. Infomation is everywhere, it can't question, but you can. Be critical!

oh yeah, 1 side note: I think I got food poison last night. I work up in the middle of the night with a terrible stomachache. I tried to puke but nothing came out. I was squirming and sweating for like 15 minutes. Finally some bad stuff went out of my system, and I was feeling a bit better. Man, I almost thought I had to be hospitalized. It was so painful.
