It's all good...

2004 sped by like a horse's arse on fire, like Father Time on speed. And if he was, i just hope it wasn't one of you jxl influencers ;P Anyways in all its theatrical 365 days, it's been all good at the end of da day coz' u take the good, the bad, the ugly - put it in the cocktail shaker and voila, you make a lychee martini outta it!
Ah-huh, been there, done that and still doing it on the writing bit, both copywriting and the journalistic thing. The frequent flyer points is still ticking away albeit this time closer to ma asian roots i.e., Bangkok, Bali, Shanghai and a coupla' S'pore slings! Need we say more about the social calendar - the social mariposa thing has gotta offset working ma ass off for peanuts... It's all about balance coz' i am after all astrologically represented by a starry pair of scales.
