Burnout

How many times can a person feel this way? I feel like I have a very very short fuse. I don't like what I'm feeling! This is the first time I am ever really passionate (well, aside from my accessory store) and yet I'm not feeling too good about it now. It seems like every time I work, at first it's something I'm very positive and so passionate about. Six months later, that same passion is nowhere to be found and work becomes, well... work. I do not enjoy it anymore. I am just getting by the day without being proactive. I come to work and do what they need me to do and not what I have to do.

I have a very complex job and being involved in operations is quite an interesting job but also too physically tiring! I do not have a lot of complaints about my job because I get to have time for myself and even time to go out with friends even on a weekday. However, things are taking slowly taking a toll on my body and I'm super stressed out with work. I think it's really different if you really love what you do and you visualize yourself living and breathing your job. For me, I came into picture because I needed a job and they needed someone to do the job.

I really need a break. :(

Happy Graduation, Sister!

Two Sundays ago, my sister graduated from college. It was a busy day since she had her baccalaureate in the morning and her graduation in the afternoon. It would've been great though, if we could share moments like this with our dad; I'm pretty sure he'd be proud. Our dad is usually away from us for work and we understand that truly and we're grateful for his sacrifices.

I felt nostalgic after dropping my mom and my sister off at school in the morning. Same time three years ago, I was in the same situation. I also graduated from college. It feels weird every time I' go back to school to visit or for events. I kind-of miss the feeling of being a student. But when you're a student, you always look forward to graduating.

It has been a cliché but I think it's just on point what they say about graduation: "It is not the end, but a beginning of a new chapter in your life." That new chapter could be finding a job, going to grad school, putting up your own business, or even to go on a sabbatical. We go through different chapters to find our purpose. And to my dear sister (who I know will not read this, LOL) find your purpose and congratulations!

Enjoy the photos!

Hello, October!

Can I just say that the months have been passing us by like a whirlwind! CRAAZZY! Now October's here and the first week just passed by. Oh how time flies! Next thing I know I'm on a plane going somewhere far... *wink* Anyway, this post is about how my first week of October went through photos.

October 1st, Monday. Monday was basketball day. I went to watch PJ's first game with my sister and his sister.

Dordie, Me, and Doc Jet :)

Go BLUE!  PJ's team lost though.

October 2. Tuesday, no photos. Well, I was a little busy making slides for my presentation the following day.

October 3, Wednesday. Day of presentation and calibration meeting, visit from head bosses from Manila and dinner with family.

My sister and mom

with Cousins Cha and Joan

October 4, Thursday. The weather was crazy. And we were all lazy at the office. After my shift I went to meet with my mom and cousins again.

Elaisha's. Had breakfast here with my workmate, Fatima. It was pouring!!!

Intense rain juxtaposed to a beautiful sunset. 

ootd. LOL 

My cousin who wants to be a kung fu master by doing a yoga pose.  LOL

October 5, Friday. Yesterday was "beauty day" for me and my sister, we had our hair colored. :) 

Ready to become a RED HEAD! 

My hair's supposed to be all burgundy but... it's virgin hair so it looks brown! :P

October 6, Saturday. Today's weather is kind of crazy as well. Instead of going home around noon, I arrived at 2PM since I got stuck in the office waiting for the rain to stop! Today was however, the day I updated my software. I'm just getting used to ios6!

Is it the best there is?

How did your first week of October, go? 

Kisses,
