“We accept the love we think we deserve…”

Wow.

I have made decisions extremely important to companies. I have given and taken employment. I have negotiated and saved the company hundreds of thousands in pesos.

You would think this would qualify me as an adult.  I realize that this is not the case.

I saw my mom 3 days in a row last week. This is unnatural…this hasn’t happened in over 2 years.  I saw how I seem to regress back to childhood when I’m with my family. My mom would automatically cover for my responsibilities and try to iron out kinks for me.

I wanted to schedule an ultrasound for myself but the sonologist said there was no more slot. My mom called them and got me a schedule.  I wanted to know about acne treatments, my mom calls her friend who is a derma and hooks me up. My aircon gets busted my mom negotiates.

It’s comforting to have this…although I’m glad it only happens occassionally.

I feel stumped, I’ll be attending my nth bridal shower and I seriously don’t know what to give anymore. I feel like everything I’ve been giving is too cliche. In the past I would either give naughty toys, bridal lingerie, copy of the Kama Sutra, or a book on marriage for those who are a bit conservative. What does one give during these times anyway?

I was reading this article which made me guffaw. There was a guy who sold his forehead to a company and he walked around town all day with an ad on his forehead. Isn’t that insane? I know most companies are willing to spend a lot on promotional products but I think this particular incident is going a bit too far don’t you think?

I sure hope he was paid a lot for this, and I hope he didn’t tattoo that ad on his forehead.

But it sure makes it super fun.

This is why I decided to give paid surveys a try. This one I saw had me do a $6.00 Welcome Survey After Free Registration!. It was so simple.

I hope it’s legit…
