I lost my pendrive today. x.x I am angry with myself. How could I be so careless as to not pull it out before I left! Last time it was attached to my nametag, so at least if I did lose it they'd know who to call. Now it's just a pendrive, with no name or anything, and it's lost.

Ughhhhh. :( Let's just hope whoever found it was nice and returned it to Lost and Found. It's not an awfully huge pendrive either..just 2 GB. Monashians don't need to steal a 2G pendrive..do they?

*prays* If I find my pendrive again, I will put some sort of identification on it and I will not forget to pull it out again.

In other news:

For my Journalism assignment, we need to do a profile on someone interesting. So I figure, I'm going to do a profile on one of Dad's friends, who happens to be a partner in a big company. (I'm not exactly sure what it does..but it has a lot of branches) They keep going on about how huge a deal it is that she managed to get to that position, so gee, I guess she has to be really important! (This is sarcasm by the way)

Over dinner, Dad was telling us how she used to be the prettiest girl in their school, and how all the guys (including his friends, and possibly..himself? XD But ew, I just don't want to think about that) were so into her, but everyone was so intimidated by her (apparently she was/IS really smart too...some people just get everything) that nobody dared to ask her out. This apparently carried over to adult life, where she's still very pretty, according to my parents, and as you can see, very, very successful.

However, she isn't married.

I find that a little sad, in a way. Oh, I'm by no means condemning her for not being married or anything. It's really great that she managed to do so well for herself, all BY herself, and she's really set a good example for aspiring young ladies (like me!) But isn't it a little tragic that she's missing out on the opportunity to start a family, just because men are so intimidated by her that they don't even dare to ask her out? I mean, she's supposedly the whole package, and more - but apparently men don't WANT the perfect package...

...because they're scared of it?

I wonder if she misses it, somehow. I could be totally wrong and she could be enjoying her life just as it is, thank you very much. But wow..it just says something when a perfectly eligible, more than competent woman is still single despite such an attractive package because men are used to being the powerful ones. Suddenly, when the woman reigns, their sense of equilibrium falls apart and their world crumbles. XD

Okay, being a little melodramatic there. But still! Something to ponder about and probably related to gender equality issues, but I'm sleepy so you can figure that out yourself.
