Panic at the Ranks Again

So my mom really panicked and bit my head off. After this negotiation, the other side called her and told her to offer the subsidy we used to offer. Ok, now as i've said before, I go with accounting as to where to draw the line of cost. Its up to us to negotiate for the best price... We have never gotten any favors from these guys, we were the ones giving favors. They owed up to Php8.3M and they only paid now because THEY escalted the negotiation to their boss and we told them about their outstanding dues. So now prices have increased, its been 6 months. I don't need to explain so much, because Finance backs me up on this, and one assumes Finance knows what they are doing. My decision making is based on my experience with this company, TM. Their malice and difficulty to deal with. They are very very difficult and Its never been a two way street with them. How can we be a partner when there really is no long term goal and good for us. It is a purely economic relationship,...

Niko Milestones

This past week Niko "reads" to himself. He will get a book and pretend to read it, like the way we would read it to him.  He plays "horse" with the pillows and us.  He's been eating ravenously. he finished a whole cup of rice and viand by himself. He is not discriminate with food. We are picky eaters so we are glad he is eating what we eat, but I'm not sure our standard of non-discriminating is the same as compared to other families.  he says "DaTo!DaTo!DaTo!" as his own language of No!No!No!. It is very cute.  he greets me, looking only for hims mommy. He goes "Dada!" but in the end looks for mommy going "Mama?".  He tries to put on his shoes by himself. he cant but he tries. 

Niko milestones and work

Yesterday niko ran to his mom and hugged her, then ran to me to hug me. This is the first time he started taking a stark notice. He is trying to read the books. You should see him pretend to read; it is adorable. There is a crisis in work right now and I should have seen it coming. I should have been more on the ground. Anyway, hope I can fix it.

Family is Sick

Got sick on Friday with a High Fever, 38.6C Aug 10 and now chat's sore throat has gotten worse. It appears niko is the vector since had this bacterial infection a while. I had sorethroat friday and could not go to work incapacitated but got better after I slept at around 2pm-6pm around the time Chat brought home some Korean Stew which caused me to sweat, cool, and my fever lapsed. Prior to that I had to take a Biogesic to keep the fever down and allow me to move around. Every time I moved and got back to rest my head was throbbing with pain. I bought GURPS Hot Spots: Constantinople 500-1200AD. I'm considering buying GCA but I'm checking if it works in my ubuntu's (laptop and desktop) and what I plan to do with it. Niko is doing better and I have found a way so that he would like to kiss daddy's cheek. Basicaly I do weird things that make him laugh when he does that makes a feedback loop that causes him to want to see more and tries to kiss me again. It sometimes...

sickness report 7-22 to 25 so far.

it began around sunday after noon and chills and fever pitched high at night. Niko also got it, and i went out to buy meds: tempra and cooling pads that night too. by monday my muscles felt very heavy, like they worked out and every and my throat was very sore. i could barely move and think, but when i did find the strength to I went to the clinic ASAP. It was around 2:10pm i was in the clinic, Fort med screwed up by not having any paper in their fax machine to recieve my papers to be treated. They wouldnt accept my Philcare card because of documentation error, before this error began. appetite was terrible: could not eat solids. Soups were what i could put down. I was half asleep in their waiting area up until 3:40 before I got treated. They figured out they didnt have any paper and just went ahead and treated me. I wont go back there again, Healthway has much better service and accepts my Philcare card. They gave me biogesick and bactidol for relief, and co-amoxiclav augmenti...

Seeing my mentor go

Tomorrow is My mentor's last day, I really wish he didn't have to go. The practical side of me sees so much he can teach me, and of course there is the less practical side of me that just hates a good person have to go. He has to go because he was dragged down by our previous Managing Director, he is accountable for the 100M the group of companies lost. He is awesome at analysis and a shrewd finance person but he was blindsided by someone who he felt he was responsible for. It was a sunk cost effect from there. His flaws are small, compared to his strengths... but it was his flaws that did him in. I really will miss his guidance and his approval, he tries to understand the technology and that wish to understand is great. He will really try to understand your problem, and that is an awesome character trait. In my mind he will always be the master strategist of an era far and gone that took me on an apprentice. I still follow his tenets up to know. He gave me a chance, wher...

Sick Today; So Much Work

New Record, the last time I got sick was around Xmas. My mental model of how I get sick is when my fatigue levels get so low, it compromises my health. I realize from TTC - Passions: Philosophy and the Intelligence of Emotion is that emotions, our mental, and physical conditions are actually very difficult to detect an acurate feel. How we feel, is different from how our body may actually be. In Example. When i work out, I feel like I can push harder... but notice my body and all that pain is saying otherwise. Other than What I feel, I really have to look closely for clues from my body of how things really are. Too much work . Today I'm sick, and there happens to be a lot of deadlines. In fact, everyweek has a ton of deadlines. I have not been taking care of my self. I've not been exercising since the start of the year and its been 6 months. My exercise is carrying niko and family day where we are completely exhausted not our selves by the end of it. I have a liv...
