I Number.

It has been more than a month since I last wrote a blog. With new work but old company, I did a lot of catching up and getting down and dirty to finish a job. Mind you, I am enjoying every second of it since I get to learn new stuff and be exposed to numbers again. Albeit the computer does the computing most of the time.

Numbers. Whenever I encounter them, they give me a sense of security and comfort. Numbers are numbers. They change form when symbols are placed in between them yet they remain, in their essence, as numbers through and through. You play around them and voila! The alphabets are turned into wonders called numbers.

Mind you, I am no Math Whiz. I was able to survive my Math 17 and Math 100 with flying colors, red on my blue books (aka answer sheets). Stat 101 and Econ 131 were but memories to me as numbers lined up and danced before me, encouraging me to compute for that dreaded mean and variables remained varying thoughout with the wrong formula.

As numbers persisted with their presence in my life, I had accepted the inevitable which is that I'll end up working in number-intensive business i.e. banking industry. Oh yes. The Banking Industry. Where we earn because numbers (in the form of money) made the world go 'round and kept the economy afloat in times of crisis. Intellectual elitists speak in numerical terms whereas common people speak in money, but we all understand each other and agree on the idea that in numbers, we find chaos and peace.

So here's to more numbers (and more money). Hurrah!
