The Devil wears Prada

Interestingly, everyone asked me 2 questions after watching this movie

1) "Are there a lot of Miranda Priestly in your industry?"

2) "Is it really like that in your industry?"

Undoubtedly, there are a lot of unreasonable bosses in this world, not only in my industry, I will say, bosses in this industry tend to be more shallow, and superficial.

I read the book and watched the movie, somehow I did see myself in there, packing clothes, buying coffee, accompany bosses to go to events, organising events, attending numerous events, life seems glamourous from outsider, but we know the sourness. It's always not easy to deal with women, especially those old and single, and obviously, there are a lot of this type of women in the industry, they are pretty, quality, living in surreal life, hoping for their "white horse" price to crown them to be the royal, I am not kidding, I heard a lot of them saying they want to be the ROYAL, though I have no clue on what they are talking about, how can you be a royal in Hong Kong?

Everything seems glamourous, and maybe everyone wants to be us, the "magic" of this industry is to "beautify" people, turning country girls into hip and chic supermodels, turning geeks into stylish iconist. MAYBE...

My work

I start feeling that my work is sucking up my personal life, sprit and sleeping time

I start feeling my soul does not belong to me

I start feeling tired all the time

I start feeling I am no longer connected with my friends

I start feeling my friends are no longer talking with me

I start feeling my connectin with this society is diminishing

I start feeling I am no longer the one I used to be

I start feeling that my humorous is running out

I start feeling my life has been occupied by my work

I start feeling there is no other way out

I start feeling......

Long Week

I have been working really hard last week, I worked for 8 days, with no dayoff and started this week today. 5 more days to go and I will have my weekend off after working 13 days consecutively.

It's not really easy to be like that, I didn't have much rest not just because of my work, but also my friends came back from Dalian and Manchester. I am very happy that they are were / are back, I haven't seen them for more than 2 years and I think it's time to catch up with each other. I feel amazed that we still have so much to talk about even though we haven't seen each other for such a long time, still strong bonding between each other, it's so amazing.

It's simply not right to work like that, I think I need to find a balance, even though I always say I wouldn't be affected by my work after work, it's not the case, my mood is always "influenced" by my work, if I have had a shit day, I won't be happy after work. What's a shame, I know if I can control, that's not emotional, but...

Anyway, I have once made up my mind again, hope everything will be ok...

Dame Shit Days

It's always easier to escape then to fight. I have been struggling hard these days, I want to escape but I want to fight as well.

I am kind of tired of fighting all the time, I tend to shut up and do my own work, reluctant to giving my opinion, as my opinion is no longer being appreciated. I don't care about the surroundings, work is work, I shouldn't let the negetivity from my work bring me down, I shouldn't get angry because of those stupid decisions, I shouldn't and I shouldn't.

Things not always go as the ways we expected, today maybe a bad day, good day may come tomorrow. Good that the shitty today has gone, who knows what will happen tomorrow.
