It's A Wrap: October 2016

 

 

- Thank God that I was able to survive my third month at work. There have been a lot of issues, trials, and hardships but I’m still here fine and breathing. I want to give myself a round of applause for not easily giving up. I think I’ve matured so much over the last couple of years as I can already bear most of the uncomfortable situations that come my way. 

- Relationship wise, nothing really changed. Here I am, still struggling. I don’t know when I will make up my mind whether to stay or walk away.  It’s quite hard as this is not what is expected of me. Should I care about the things that other people will say? I thought that I shouldn’t mind them and just move on with my life. I thought I’ll just let them judge me as much as they want. They don’t know what’s happening anyway, they don’t know how it feels. Till then, I’m still here holding on even If I don’t feel loved anymore, even if I feel like I’m just an extra baggage.

- I want to travel next year once I have my leave credits instated. I want to go alone and find a peaceful place. A travel experience that’s going to be one for the books. An adventure that I’ll treasure for the rest of my life. I’ll have to plan it as early as now so I’ll have everything covered. 

- I’ve been downloading a lot of Original Pinoy Music. I don’t know, maybe because I’m into watching Pinoy Big Brother lately and they usually use songs written and sung by Filipino artists as their background music. The video above is a song called "SILA" by SUD. I enjoy listening to it everyday.

- I hope that November will be better. Although I understand that there are things that will be more challenging in the following days, I pray that I’ll be able to overcome all the obstacles that will be thrown in my way.

See you soon! :)

 

It's A Wrap: September 2016

Her Time

She has been feeling it for a while---the sense of awakening. There is a gentle rage simmering inside her and it is getting stronger by the day. She will hold it close to her---she will nurture it and let it grow. She won't let anyone take it away from her. It is her rocket fuel and finally, she is going places. She can feel it down to her very core---this is her time. She will not only climb mountains---she will move them too.

- Lang Leav, The Universe of Us

-------------------------

It's the start of the "-ber" months and here in the Philippines, it's also the start of the long holidays. I bet Mr. Jose Mari Chan will soon be invading the radio and mall's music playlist. :)

- Finally, I was able to get a copy of Lang Leav's new book release, "The Universe of Us". I love her poems, especially the ones that I can relate to of course. The passage above is one of my favorite.

- This month has been a struggle. I'm almost at the point where I'm really thinking of quitting and letting go. I felt so down and it seems like I'm ready to runaway anytime.

- I realized that you just can't trust anybody nowadays even those whom you thought would support and motivate you.

- It's been a couple of months now since I went back to being a corporate rat.Still, I wasn't able to build up my savings plan. I guess because instead of saving, I'm investing on myself more. I don't think it's a bad thing though.

- There are a lot of things that I need to do and yet, I'm procrastinating. I need to buy a very good planner so that I can plan ahead. Don;t mind me you guys, I'm just a visual learner. I feel like I can accomplish a lot more if I had it written down or if I create some doodles about the things that I want to achieve.

I'm hoping and praying that October would be awesome. I know and I'm aware that hardships and trials will be inevitable but I'm positive that things will get better in time.

See you soon! :)

It's A Wrap: August 2016

• Thank God for another year in my life. Thank you to those who remembered and greeted me. I do appreciate all of your well wishes.

• Even though my schedule has been very hectic, I’m happy that I was able to survive my first month at work. I thought I’ll be included in the fall outs but yeah, I’m still alive and kicking. Despite encountering some issues recently, I am really hoping that these are just part of what others may call as “birthing pains” as the account that I’m part of and the people I’m working with are relatively new.

• I received a birthday gift from my new “family” Yay! I appreciate that they gave out small tokens to their employees on their special day. One way or the other, it adds to my motivation knowing that they are interested in creating different ways to make the people working for them  do their best and enjoy their stay.

• I noticed that I haven’t written anything on my planer since I started working again. I guess it’s because my life currently is very predictable that I don’t have to plan ahead. Anyway, I still need to use it so that I can list down my upcoming blog posts.

• I realized that there are some people who are willing to do anything, even to the point of stepping onto someone’s foot just to move up the corporate ladder. Haven’t they heard of the saying “Be kind to people on your way up because they are the same people you’ll meet on your way down.”? I am flabbergasted with their sense of self entitlement as if we owe them anything. I myself doesn’t want to miss the opportunity presented to me that’s why I always try to do my best but I always take into consideration how others would feel if I reacted to or do certain things.

Oh well, this month might not end on a good note because of situations that are slowly unfolding. However, I still want to keep that positivity that I started and just pray that things will be better soon.

See you soon! :)

It's a Wrap: July 2016

This blog idea came up to me because number one, I can’t sleep. Yes, that’s what happens when insomnia attacks. Two, I couldn’t access the internet at this hour so I’m saving the drafts for my blog on a .doc file format. I already finished four blog entries so far with a couple of product reviews which can cover me ‘til September. And lastly, I just thought of documenting important details (and some not so important too) in my life every month.

•     Change has come! Lol! Nah… it’s just because I’ve finally decided to get back to the grind and move forward. I’ve been a bum for so long that it only makes me feel sick even more. I’m excited and scared at the same time but I’m keeping my fingers crossed and hope that everything will work out fine.

•      I’m trying to adapt that “positive outlook in life” mantra. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not pessimistic. I’d say I’m a realist and I just have a different perspective in some things and situations.

•      I received a gift from the Korean Tourism Organization which I am very much thankful for. It is this beautifully hand painted passport holder. The thing was I have to pay Php 112.00 for customs tax before I could claim it. Yup, Php 112 for a passport holder! Annoying right? That’s why I didn’t dare do online shopping from overseas sites because I’m afraid of customs taxes. Anyway, I hope that the new administration will address several issues within the Philippine Customs the soonest.   

So far, these are the things that I can share with you my dear readers. July 2016 is an uneventful month for me but since I'm starting something new this August 2016, it will rather be different. I know I'll have a lot of stories to tell you so please look forward to it. Thank you so much for keeping up with me.

 See you soon! :)
