Live Chat with the Tweens!

I was photographer for the day for the live chat on iGMA.tv of the cast of Tween Academy: Class of 2012. It feels great to have done this again. If I remember it correctly, I also took part as a photographer in the iGMA.tv live chats of the Brapanese models, Rhian Ramos, and Love ni Mister, Love ni Misis hosts Zoren Legaspi and Carmina Villaroel, and also for the Chris Tiu Meet-and-Greet / Fanatxt Chris Tiu Basketball Clinic.

It's fun working with young people because of their infectious energy that I also get to imbibe.

Of course, I didn't miss the opportunity to have my hi-tech fansign created by the GMA Network social media team:

Tomorrow's the premiere night of their movie! For more details on the live chat, visit iGMA.tv in the coming days.

Back to Regular Programming

After three days of rest, I'll be returning to work tomorrow! It's ironic that I spent my first year anniversary last Tuesday, at home recovering from fever. Now that I'm all well, I can't wait to see my office mates again!

If there's one thing that I enjoy about going to work, it's the company of the friends I've made in the office. I'm blessed to always find fun, caring people in places I've worked. It really makes a big difference!

See you tomorrow, guys! Your favorite cynic is back!

Shall I Go?

My family has a planned trip to Montemar in Bagac, Bataan tomorrow, err, in a few hours. I was all set and looking forward to go, but unfortunately, work got in the way. Isn't this fun? You see, I'm supposed to be done with my responsibilities for the long weekend, but the system I ought to use to complete my final task refuses to cooperate! I waited in the office until past 10:00 in the evening hoping that by some stroke of luck, I could proceed with work. But to my dismay, I waited for nothing. Nada.

I don't know my priorities anymore. I want to go, have a break and enjoy the sand and the sea with my family, but part of me keeps me chained to my responsibilities in the office. I'm confused.

But I already got a plan. Here's what I'm going to do: I'll wake up at around 6:00 in the morning, I'll go to work and finish my chores. If I get to the office and find that the system is working then I'll be able to finish my work just in time for me to join my family. But if not, I would have to leave and head toward the beach!

This plan will push through only if I do step one - wake up very early! If not, I just might spend the whole day at the office, waiting for the system to be up.

 

Am I Ready for the Languages and the Arts?

In the past couple of weeks, I've been doing some soul searching and rethinking what I really want do with my life. It's a tough responsibility I must fulfill. Unfortunately, I'm not one of people who, at an early age, were blessed to realize what they were born to do. I'm part of the majority who try to figure out our purpose in life as we go through our day-to-day survival.

After graduating from college, I had the privilege of having worked in two reputable companies. Although my work experiences are in line with the degree I earned in college, I can't seem to find the fulfillment I'm longing for. I end up being unhappy with the work I have to endure on a daily basis. I try to explore the possibility that I might just need to tweak my attitude as most people would suggest, but I simply feel that I have the wrong occupation. I'm fighting in the wrong battlefield.

With that said, I ask myself, "What must I do?" It's very easy to say that I should leave my current job and follow my heart's desires, but as the cliché goes, it's easier said than done. I'm 25 years old and coming up with a decision when faced with a predicament as such does not get any easier at my age.

Quality Time with Family and Friends

Good morning, readers!

I'm still awake and I don't have plans of sleeping anytime soon. Not until I finish my Saturday duties. I have to monitoring something on TV and it will air show at 10:30 am. Think I'm crazy for not getting rest? I'm too afraid that if I get some shut-eye, I would over sleep and miss the show. I'd rather stay awake and be sure that I catch it on TV than think of my well-being first and risk neglecting my duty.

Moving on to something more substantial, I want to share that I'm so blessed that I can still spend time with my family and friends no matter how short the time is. Just last night, I headed to Podium right after work to reunite with some college friends. Although we had to adjourn our small gathering earlier than expected, it was still worthwhile. It was still time well-spent. After that I went straight to Stone House to meet my mother and sister for a short night out. I was supposed to go to the venue with them, but since I had to meet with my friends (they asked me out first), I promised I would follow afterwards. And I did.

That made my day. Seeing people I love after a hard day's work was enough to make up for the stress and pressures of being employed. If it's not too much to ask, I hope I'd have more time with them. 

Now, back to my zombie self.

Bow,

Question of The Day: What was the first job that changed your life?

Having a new design has a positive effect in me. I suddenly want to keep on posting entries! I just hope I can keep up the enthusiasm. Anyway, in the pursuit of having something in my site, I turn to Question of the Day. It's a feature of TypePad, which was adapted from Vox. There's this small box on the side of the dashboard page where a random question would appear. It helps bloggers think of topics to write about, especially when nothing really interesting is happening. Here goes...

Question of the day: What was the first job that changed your life?

This is easy for me to answer since I've only had two jobs and I've been in my current job for barely 7 months. I would have to say that my first job, as a customer service associate, changed my life. Aside from it being my first job, there are other reasons I can say why it has changed my life the most.

I Want to Be Human.

I never thought I would be as desperate to go on a vacation as I am now. I'm not even making any sense. I don't intend to complain, but I think I'm taking this too far. As much I would want to do everything that is expected of me, I just couldn't get everything done at once because of the load I'm bombarded with. It's just so sad that a word I say that is not in accordance with others' perception will be taken against me.

I want to be human. I want to understand why God created rest on the seventh day. I want to enjoy the fruits of my labor, spend quality time with the people I love and take part in extra curricular activities. I want to grow and share the talents that God blessed me with.

Apparently, it's not yet my time. But I know that with God's grace, I'll get there. For now, I hope I still have the energy and the courage to face everything and take every challenge.

Bow,
