Leap of Faith

In getting caught between some decision you are to decide on wherein your heart doesn't seem to agree with your brain, human nature allow us to rely on either gut-feelings or faith. Usually without putting much thought into it or the total lack thereof, we ironically stave off the imminent regret that may come with it. That's where faith comes in. Though it may symbolically express hopping onto the next step abruptly, what may appear from that of my action having "jumped the gun" is actually a leap of faith. I decided to resign from the company I've been "comfortably" with for 13 years. I've had mixed emotions. Initially, I felt hate. I hated that one person whom I'd say as the reason for my resignation. He's the typical kind of a boss you'd most likely read about in Facebook or online articles as to why employees leave. And he's not even the owner for crying out loud; what's worse is that he doesn't manifest that "sens

Allowance, Allow Twice At Low Price...

FB reminded me of my wife's birthday 2 days ago... Not that I have to be reminded of such special day... As a matter of fact, I already greeted her the night prior as soon as the clock struck out of Sept 1's last second while presenting my gift to her in all its "unwrapped" glory...

Yes, that was totally "unsweet(ened)" or insensitive

"Not a Lot of Bull"

Because 72-10 vs 73-9 is like being able to make a basket while getting hacked vs making a (football) goal without a goalie respectively... Hence, even if the GSW emerged as champions, it'll not be as dominating and as "convincingly-earned" as that of the 72-10 Bulls... That said, the Bulls-then from a very defense-oriented NBA period could have recorded a better win-loss slate in today's NBA generation. Whereas the current Warriors couldn't have done any better during the "bad boys" era or the "Hack-a-Shaq" time as attested by how the LeBron James-led Cavaliers dominated them and took control by apparently applying a '90's-kind of sticky defense... The Warriors know how to play in today's brand of basketball for a fact (and shooting at will in fact) since Steve Kerr (coach), being part of that 72-10 Bulls team as a shooter himself, knows the difference and how to take advantage of the current NBA's loose-kind of defense h
