Working on Weekends

I do consider myself to be a bit of a workaholic, mostly because I try to ride the influx of work without any system, I am trying to learn believe me, but having a job that pretty much means catering to every need of every employee in the company, there isn't much of a system that can really handle that.

Winging it, One Ukay-Ukay Dress at a Time

I tend to get days like this, oddly enough, yes. I plan for it, work around the details and then I mess up, or things just unravel on their own, I dunno.

“She can wear a veil, an eye mask, even a potato sack over her head - it doesn't matter. True beauty never fades; it radiates the kind of glow, that makes you turn your head and look, same way you unconsciously look for the stars, when the night is dark.”

1st of 11: Bring it On!

Like last year I am taking it upon myself to write everyday from the 1st till the 11th of September. I've been very lazy despite of my resolve at the beginning of the year to exercise writing constantly and actually posting it, cause I have to keep appearance with my internet existence and then some other superficial reason like that. 

     So I started September with a great task upon me, I am looking for a job. This is unusual. I've never been jobless on my birthday month and to add pressure to the entire matter, my savings is dwindling down, so it's needless to point out that there seemed to be an imaginary timer up on my head upon starting this month. There are bills to pay, brother's tuition to worry about, dad's medication to maintain and books to buy but never read. Reality is hard. (Lol, I went a little dark there for a moment).

Isang Milyon at Isang Posibilidad

So I am currently reading Ricky Lee's "Si Amapola sa 65 na Kabanata", di ko madalas binabasa ang ganitong klaseng libro, out of my comfort zone sya pero in fairness holding pa rin. Anyway, dun sa libro may nabanggit tungkol sa isang milyong posibilidad, at dahil sa mga nangyayari sa akin recently, napaisip din ako sa isang milyon at isa kong mga posibilidad. Sa sobrang dami, nakakalula na.

Updates with some great news :)

Hello cyber people that I love. I actually miss talking to you guys, everything has been really crazy in a good way :)

Work- I am still working for this realty documentation company, and I am happy to say that I am finally adjusting (well I better be after 2 years, right?). I still eat alone during lunch breaks but it is mostly because I am the only one who packs her lunch here, and I engage more often now with my co-workers. We are on a friendly interactions now, that or I just finally stopped caring. I am taking it all as positively as possible. 

     I also returned to my first Korean tutoring company, the adjustment back to the 5 am shift is slow but I am managing. It also helps that I actually like this job, that and that I am pretty good at it (hopefully not sounding too proud). 

Family- My younger brother and I managed to patch things up, with him having a baby and all that, a feud would not serve the two of us any good. My youngest brother will be finally attending College this June, which I am really excited for, because I really want him to have a secure future. I am all good with both of my parents, however Papa and I tend to argue from time to time. 

Spiritual Life- We will be having a big production in Church later this year which I am so stoked about. I have been praying for this for years actually, and it’s here finally. Rehearsals are keeping me busy, but when you are laboring for the Lord, you don’t really notice it. You will sleep with a smile on your face. I am also striving for a consistent personal time with the Lord every morning. I want to be as involve with Him as He is with me. I fail, most of the time, but the enormity of His love for me overshadows any fault I may have and only causes me to move forward. Please pray for me to continue on this. 

Personal Life- I recently started dating someone. Even while typing this brings smile to my face (and now I can’t get rid of it :D), he is an old friend I met during my competitive writing phase back in High School. I am praying that the Lord use me in his life, and that regardless if this works out with him or not, that I will come out of it stronger in Him, with faith progressing. I have been spending a lot of time with him recently, and I am trying really hard not to be distracted with the things that are important (Faith, Family, Friends and me). 

    I am also sort of trying to fulfill some self-set goals declared years ago. Some that are on the top of my head is to learn to swim and to learn how to play the guitar. They seem to be really trivial stuff, but they were sort of my frustrations ever since I could remember, and I am pushing for the actualization of these goals (finally!). 

    I have been saving too! Yey! I downloaded this 50 pesos saving scheme last year, and I have been successful so far, keeping with the schedule and the amount to be deposited. It is my goal for next year to have the liberty to travel without the burden of financial worries. And I can only do that if I save up now. 

I’d like to think that I am moving forward with life (thank God!) and that I am easing into adulthood slowly but surely. This is so self absorbed of me to act as if I have an audience to read this, hahaha but I can’t help it. Take it as a trace I leave in this enormous world. :D So how are you guys?
