..what a week....

...am so happy the weekend is upon us again.... what a week, indeed.... well it truly was not out of the ordinary... you know: working.... packing and shipping of stuff almost everyday.... answering emails..... trying to run when it is not a rainy afternoon and the gym when it is..... so nothing new, am quite used to it....

It only became trying because of a disgruntled long time customer who basically just decided to take her frustrations of not being able to get a Japan Exclusive item, on me... as we were not able to come through for her this time around... I apologized profusely through emails.... though it was not really my fault, as the allocations are decided by the company and not myself.. Totally, "OUT OF MY HANDS"... still, blame me she did and actually took her rantings on a few boards... so for a few days, this dictated my mood: sad, defeated, soured....

Thank God for friends, both online and here in Taiwan.... they helped me put things in the right perspectives... helping me think through all of this mess and actually getting over it all.... and of course, the little things that makes life a little better for me: my daily photo taking... trying to see beauty in just about anything.... the little toys I collect.... walking about the city and people watching.... seeing friends for coffee and other things...

So, it's quite TRUE... there is enough in the world to keep us HAPPY.... to PUSH AWAY all the UNHAPPINESS, the NEGATIVITY, & the NON-SENSE we are faced with, now and again.... so I share with you a few things that made me SMILE BIG, this week....

Beautiful Sunset where I run....
