Today we celebrate our beloved country's independence, which has been 'independent' for the last 63 years. Why the quote marks on 'independent'? If we are truly independent, then why are our billboards and TVs filled with ads from overseas brands? Why are almost all of our most important industries controlled by foreign interests? And nobody cares - the state of the country it is in right now shows that.
But really, after 63 years, do we have anything to show for it? Yes. We have our country, our nation, our flag, our culture and our language - something a lot of other people don't really have.
We need to show that we are worthy of it - we need to earn our place in this hard-fought country. We may even have to fight our countrymen whose self-interest goes above the greater good - the 21st century 'war' - but fight we will.

On Leave
To avoid my brain frying, I am taking this whole week off. Whole. Week. Off.
with nothing in particular to do... that's the point! So if I don't pick up the phone, yeah well... the phone is on leave as well, so it doesn't fry out either :D

It's Time To Take A Stand
It stops here and now. I have no idea what I'm doing or what I'm going to do; I might as well discuss it with several friends and colleagues, but I'm pretty sure that IT HAS TO STOP.
Nothing is worth burning my brains out over.

Promises We Can't Keep
Has the following ever happened to you?
A project is done between bosses, and a brief is handed down to us lowly executives. The promise also includes off-site support from another office. The actual support is key to the deal...
Yet the support can't be delivered, but you take the shit from the client, since you can't deliver.
Manage the client, they say.
I say, if I want to manage a client well, I better make damn well sure my side has done all the promises.
So now, I can't deliver on a promise I didn't make.
Is it my fault?
