Christmas - 25 December 2009

I realize this is my blog - under my name, under my email address and yet I have no entries. I basically created it to safeguard the name so that I can write about my day to day life, how most people most likely to see me. And yet, I have not written anything for quite some time. What gives?

I guess I simply find myself so normal, so average, that I can simply fade into the background - until people realize they need what I guard most, MONEY!!! I am the Finance Officer, the accountant, the money man, the cashier, the disbursing officer, simply said, I hold the funds. Which reminds me of a greeting a cousin have made jokingly in Christmas past, "batiin ninyo ako, ako ang may hawak ng kaban ni marcelina" (Hey, greet me, I am the one holding the treasure box of Marcelina).

My so called life is ordinary, is it worth writing for? Is it worth the time of others to read? Its Christmas day and I am here in the office cooling off steam, thinking and looking at the papers on my table, checked communications and all. I do not suffer peptic ulcer nor take antacid tables anymore , but now I carry a blood pressure monitor and my blood sugar kit. I am a diabetic and hypertensive!!!

One watch television - there are so many series or movies about lawyers and doctors, but none about an accountant or finance person, it seems not so much drama, no reality. I remember the joke about professional mistakes: a doctor commits an error, the patient dies; a lawyer commits an error, the client goes to jail; and for an accountant to commit an error, we simply erase it, or and adjusting entry to correct it.
