A quick post...

I'm leaving for Bacolod tomorrow. I'll be leaving very early actually, I don't even know why I'm still up when I should already be sleeping. I'll be there for a day for work but I'll be coming back in the afternoon. I really don't feel like going, up until now. However, my "attendance"/ presence is not optional but required so I really NEED to go. What keeps me interested with the trip though is that I don't get to be stuck the whole day in front of a computer, replying to e-mails and stuff. LOL We'll be on site tomorrow, checking units that will be turned over to their owners. I just hope that it doesn't rain tomorrow because I'm too scared to travel when it's raining. We'll be travelling by ferry/boat so a rainy weather is not welcome. Anyway, will try to go to sleep now.


Good night!

Hello, Monday.

So I'm here at work and contemplating on what to do since I've done most of what I should. I'm currently here in our sales office, which I do every Monday so I can report to my boss. I actually like my boss. She's really nice and accommodating, also down to earth. She does not drive me nuts when she needs reports from me. I feel like I'm just cruising through this, which I kind-of like. But what I really love about my job is when I'm on site- construction site, that is. It gives me a different high especially when documenting progress of every house that's being built up to the time I have to turn the unit over to the owner. The first month I felt like I was a fish out of water. I was so clueless on what I needed to do. Now, I've been working for three months and going up to four and it feels like I've been doing this for a very long time. There may be times that I'm struggling with myself because there are times when I feel like I'm just dragging myself to work but I still like what I do. I still like that I have client/customer interface from time to time and most especially, I love that I'm on the field- literally, well,  construction field that is. Sometimes though, because my work does not entail heavy e-mails and physical work, I get really bored. Just like today. But today is Monday, everybody doesn't like Monday... I think. I need to always psyche myself so I can do even better. I just love it that even if I'm not really that trained in this field, I still get to please my boss and she recognizes my effort and always compliments me. Maybe that's the reason why I don't mind being stuck at this job even if my salary is just so-so.

Hello, Monday!

How did your Monday go?

Finding Purpose in Dreams

Sometimes, I'm too caught up in my ideal/perfect world. Of course, it's just a fragment of my imagination. Things I wished were happening to me, things I wish I had, places I wished to visit... the list goes on. In my perfect world, the sky's the limit! There's no problem with accessibility to anything, and the choices are limitless. Sometimes I wish I could really live in that world. A world where I am successful, I am looked up as a "powerful" woman- and I don't mean the Wonder Woman type.  However, as it is just a fragment of my imagination and I'm just a human being, I need to stop thinking about the "what if's" and make life happen with anything I currently have. I guess having a "perfect world" for yourself can actually motivate you to do better in work, school, etc. It's like you're guiding yourself and projecting where you'd like to be in the future, what you want to attain. Of course, in REAL life, there aren't any shortcuts. We need to undergo a lot of disappointments, failures, heartaches, happiness, etc before we get to where we foresee ourselves to be. It is a whirlwind of emotions, sometimes it's so overwhelming. Having a balance in your life and people close to you such as family and friends can definitely help you get through life from day to day. I wish I could say that I've achieved something greater and say that I've found myself in a place I projected I would be. Somehow, I still have a long way to go. I'm just so motivated right now because things are slowly falling into place no matter how slow they picked up. I am so excited and really looking forward to what I can really become in 5 to 10 years from now. I guess the purpose of keeping that "imagination" kept me alive and motivated me to do something about my life if I wanted to become somebody at least for myself. Setting goals can be very difficult and sometimes not aligned with our strengths but I do believe that whatever we set our hearts and minds into, we will definitely land on the very spot we have hoped for ourselves.

And with that, I'll leave you with a few quotes from people who dreamt of  big things and made them come true.

* "Dreams are extremely important. You can't do it unless you imagine it." 
-- George Lucas

* "It was the man's dream, and his inspiring attempt to make them come true that remain important." Francis Ford Coppola 

*"Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move the hearts of men." Goethe

And with that, I bid you all good night!

I Miss Traveling

It's been a long time since I last went to a place to travel. I usually go to Bacolod/Talisay (Negros Occidental) but for work. I want to go some place where I can just relax and admire the view and of course, throw in a little shopping! The last time I traveled was to Manila, March this year and it was just for a week, I think. No fancy places- I just shopped! HAHA. The side-trip was when we went to Antipolo for a short while and went back to the city. I kind-of missed that feeling. I usually like to witness scenic places and be amazed at how magical a place can be but I do whatever I can to enjoy with whatever I can afford. LOL Although I have to admit, I kind-of not help shopping when I'm traveling! :D


Sorry, I just dug up photos from my slr's SD card and saw pictures of my vacation in Manila.
