Kayanin ko pa ba?

I'm tired, though not entirely drained. But this job is taking a lot out of me. I felt like I really need a long break, probably a year or so. Sometimes I tried to ask myself "bakit ko pa ba pinaparusahan sarili ko?". But then again, every cold morning when I wake up I was reminded that my problem is just a mere complain of an overworked individual.


AM I HAPPY?

Of course I am, but I feel like I need to do something before its too late. I don't have the luxury of time like other young folks out there.

I need to grow. I'm getting too stagnant here.


Where should I go next?

A real hard and long thinking would do... hmmm

Medyo Magaan Na Nga

I've been reading Robert Fulghum's "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten". The author reminds me of Bob Ong, minus the unique Filipino humor. Sometimes it does help to read some books about the thoughts of others, especially when you think the world just stopped spinning because of some consequences for the choices you made(do I need a handkerchief? No thanks). I was 19 minutes late for my English class and my instructor just gave me a verbal spanking. She told me to look again at the student's manual, actually I was about to answer her; "well yeah I was late, parang di ka na nasanay". But thank God my sanity was present at that time, and it saved me from being thrown out of the room.

But back to the topic (by the way, I just found out that my instructor was 15 minutes late), listening (or reading) about the point of view of other people is healthy for the mind and soul. It gives you the space you needed to think and look back at the decisions you made in the past. Mr. Fulghum reminded me of the things I've been missing a lot lately. Reading his short essays made me feel good, "sane living" is what I wanted to call it. I'm a bit off track and good thing this book came by (PDF lang binasa ko wala akong pambili ng hard copy. 585php kasi sa National huhuhu).

It's quite handy to listen to other people's point-of-view, think of it as a helping hand when you're threading an uncharted place, a kind bystander when you're lost and couldn't find the Baliuag Transit Terminal in Cubao, a large neon sign that you saw when you are inside the MRT and it says "Ayala" then your wondering if Quezon Ave. station is close by.

You can never tell to yourself that you know it all and it would be suicidal to reject the knowledge of others. To cut it short, "wala kang mapapala kung nagmamarunong ka". Even at my age I still have a lot of lesson to learn.

Ok tama na drama, nagbawas lang ako ng bagahe (medyo magaan na sya). I'm pleading to those kind at heart to give me a hard copy of "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten", tutal malapit na berday ko...

May nahukay akong post sa lumang blag ko sa prenster..

1 week to go

Opportunity knocks but once…

Another chance to meet my goals. I couldn’t care less about the name of my school. As long as I’ll be able to finish my studies. So good luck to me. Lot’s of it………….

Boygie di ba pwedeng i-gameshark yang luck mo? Ewan ko ba bat ang malas malas mo..

This was posted a week before I went to AMG SHTC..

Behind The Lens

Honestly, I was only looking forward to the food that would be served later on that day. But this event got me thinking and had me burned some calories in the long run. For the school, this could only mean another opportunity for their graduates. Sutherland on the other hand can expect a large pool of competent applicants coming from SHTC. Pero off topic yan, hindi yan ang iniisip ko nung mga oras na yun.. (laughs)

It's quite amusing, and funny if you would think about it, how other degree holders would look down at Call Center Agents. Their reason to this statement was; Call Center Agents are overpaid, lazy sloths, who does nothing but yap all day. One High - School friend contemplates that its quite unfair to them who spent four years in college and only earns a fraction of what an ordinary agents gets.

I know the irony on his part but I think there's some portion of unreleased egoism here. Maybe they could care less about this so-called pride when they have no money in their pocket or when they could barely shell some cash to pay for their everyday necessities. Or when they can't find a job that suits their oh- so-shiny four year diploma.

Whatever, it's not my problem anyway... Why bother...

Work Work!!!

After less than 2 weeks of rest I was tasked to be the scriptwriter of the site.. Anu ba yan programmer na writer pa -___-. Oh well at least I'll be able to escape those menial task back home.

While working on the site I found this song on Imeem. Pampa relax sa nakaka haggard na trabaho haha..
