to ignore is a practical and critical life skill. ignoring a lot of things makes my life simpler and more peaceful. and blissful, so they say.

here are some of the things that when i ignore, i am at peace:

• my boss
• my boss's boss
• the alarm. especially on mondays.
• "WARNING:Could not lower the asynch I/O" messages in the alert log of a 10.2.0.5 database
• those tablespaces marked YELLOW in my daily DB utilization report
• attention-seekers. i just love ignoring them!
• my attention-seeking seatmate in TADM10 and TADM12. he's so annoying, out-of-context, and inappropriately chatty.
• my seatmate at work to my west. the korean refers to him as curly-curly lol.
• the fact that im 29 and that i still do not care.
• people who judge me due to the fact that im 29 and that i still do not care
• people who make parinig me in twitter/facebook
• people who make gaya me in twitter/facebook
• rumors about me
• opinions about me, good or bad
• girls who talk in beckinese. i find this annoying, inappropriate, not funny, and out of context. (like that "dude" in item 5)
• out of the country invitation from girls. most probably they're just being impulsive. dear girls, prove to me you are serious with your "invitation"
• that company in Germany who asks if im willing to be in a 1-2 years contract. no way will i give up a perm position that easily.
• ex-colleagues who suddenly ask me about oracle
• the fact that i keep on dropping things involuntarily. i hope its not a nervous system issue
• the cost of a plane ticket going to Philippines. yes. seriously. going home is priceless
