Talent of the pen

31 Oct

One of my favorite subjects is English Reading and Writing. I love book reviews. I also enjoy making my own short stories. I could not forget that short story assignment or project in our English subject during my first year in high school. I got a very high grade. However, my teacher called my attention. She asked me about the story submitted by my classmate who happened to be one of my friends. She asked me to be honest enough to admit that I was the one who wrote it. I did not know what to say. I could not think fast. Hey, I was still very innocent at thirteen years old to be able to lie straight! I did not know how to face my friend, then. I was just glad that my teacher understood and just let my classmate submit another story without elaborating why. Until now, I know that I am still a favorite of my English teacher. She understood that I just wanted to help. However, it is correct that we should teach men to catch a fish and not give them the fish or else, they will not learn to stand on their own.

Come college time, there is still essay writing. Many buy essay for certain fee. Who can blame them? Not everyone has that talent to use the pen and create a beautiful story. Another thing, it is a busy world. With the advent of internet, life could actually be easier. There are buy essay student help sites where you could go to. Now, I have an idea, you could actually come to me. :) Kidding aside, I read that buying an essay would actually need your inputs too so that the essay that you buy will actually look like you are the one who wrote it.

Happy November First!

31 Oct

Yes, in around 54 days it will be Christmas time. Another year would be over in two months. First, let me greet you a Happy November First! It is All Saints Day for the Catholics like me. Good thing it is a Sunday. Everybody could actually go to mass and offer a prayer.

I would like to start the month right. I would like to imbibe positive energy. I promise myself that I will start to be better as a person. I will not mind what I see anymore and just concentrate on the better things that I could focus on.

Back to normal

25 Oct

I noticed that my statistics for this site dropped down. Maybe because I was on leave for almost a month. Well, if that means not really doing my usual thing everyday. I only got back today as in the normal pace of my blogging life. I should have searched for web directories list and signed up. Maybe I should not be sort of cramming right now on how to improve my rankings again. Good thing I still have that blessing of one over ten ;)

Climate change

25 Oct

It is October 26 today. It has been a month after that typhoon and flash flood. Cleaning the muddy house is a real fat burner and skin burner too! After two weeks of being away from the office, my friends told me that they noticed that I lost some weight and I got darker. The weight loss is good news but the dark skin, NOT! Could it be the air that caused the tanning? I observed that my son got darker too. Oh, the climate is really changing.

Job obsessed

25 Oct

It is my rest day! Supposedly I should be at peace and enjoy the day. But why my mind is still in the office? All the tasks that I left and I have done already which I could not change anymore still haunt me.Yes, I think I am obsessed with my job. This is not a good thing. There is something wrong. Or, maybe, I am not happy anymore?

I have always been hard on myself. Maybe I am a perfectionist? I could not forgive myself for any mistake. Since I want to be perfect, I want others to be perfect too. I see myself and I see others too. Now that is worse. I am getting worse each day. And it only affects my performance. I hope I could just be as apathetic as others are. Here I go again.

I prayed hard last night. I pray that I will learn just to focus on myself and on what I do. That way, I would be able to concentrate on my job better and would commit less error or none at all.

Much needed rest

25 Oct

If ever someone would invite me to go to orlando vacations right now, I would definitely say YES! I really need a break right now. I want to have a fresh start. I want to see life again. I do not know but I have this feeling of discontentment or unhappiness. Maybe I want something new. I could not breathe. Give me oxygen. A much needed R&R might do the trick and help me to get back on my feet again.

Sideline

25 Oct

At this point of my life, I am really beginning to feel tired of my office job. I do not find joy anymore. If only I have a choice. You know, like earning at my own pace and time or even be my own boss. Some of my office mates already have some sidelines like looking for life insurance leads which is very popular. Many of them are now insurance agents. Others are into direct selling business. How about me? None yet. Do you have any idea?

Social class

25 Oct

What order do you belong? I belong to the order fulfillment. It is so because I am from the fulfillment department. Our manager always tells us that we should be part of our job and she is doing all her best to make us the number one. She wants us to be in the highest rank and the increase in pay, hopefully would follow.

In life, there are also social orders or social rankings. Before, I thought that we belong to the middle class. After a decade, we now belong to the poor society. That is reflective of the economic situation in our country. Or, maybe because, I am now a real part of the society since I am already working for myself. Unlike before, I have my parents to depend on. Now, I have to earn to live. I have to save to improve my way of living. Work very hard.

Drop off

25 Oct

It happened last Sunday, actually. Well, I am not really in the mood yet of so much writing because of so many things inside my mind. I have reserved Commuter’s posts though…all in my mind, :) . Anyways, we went to the mall to buy new undergarments. After three weeks of wearing panty liners, I am afraid that I might get urinary tract infection (UTI). Well, I am not comfortable wearing those undergarments that were soaked in mud no matter how much Downy anti bac softener I put in the water when I washed those. Going back, the mall we went to has a shuttle station where there are vehicles which are going to our town . It is always convenient for us to ride that air-conditioned van. It is just that, we need to wait for the next van to fetch us for almost an hour or even more if we are “lucky”. That very day, I think, we waited for more than an hour. We cut the window shopping short because we intended to hear mass.

Finally, the van came. Yahoo! I could sleep for at least 45 minutes. That is the usual travel time from our favorite mall to our town plaza where the church is also located. Hmmm… I was already sleeping for more than 30 minutes and yet, we were stuck somewhere. Heavy traffic!

After another 30 minutes and only a short distance travelled, the driver of the van asked the passengers if it is alright if we could already alight somewhere near a landmark drug store. That is three to four barangay more before the original destination or route of the van which is the town plaza. He reasoned out that he needed to come back already so that he could fetch the other passengers in line. I and my husband did not react. Good thing, there was a very sensible lady who told him that we also lined up and waited for him for more than an hour thus it was just but right for him to bring us to our destination.

Deliciously sinful pizza

24 Oct

I need weight loss pills right here, right NOW! We just pigged out on three boxes of pizza! We all had three slices each! Yes, it is a weekend here at the office and it was payday yesterday. We thought that we could give ourselves a treat. I feel so bloated right now. To add, I am really quite overweight already and I did not resist that deliciously sinful pizza. Yes, I had a choice to begin with but I chose to satisfy the craving!
