SURVIVING V-DAY AS A SINGLE

I've been without a Valentines date for a couple of years before I met my partner and believe me - I had my share of disappointments, worries and loneliness especially when Vday comes. So to help out those single ladies out there, here are some of the tips I've got to survive Valentines Day.

STAY AT HOME:
It' would be easy as Valentines Day this year falls on a Sunday. Just watch your favorite DVD or sleep all day. You need that extra energy for another busy work week tomorrow.

BLOCK COMPARISONS:
Don't spend time measuring yourself against happy couples. Remember, just because a person is partnered up on V-Day doesn't necessarily mean she's blissed out.

TURN OFF THE TV:
Made it through the day? Don' toss it all int a heart-shaped hamper by watching mushy, romantic TV shows. Rent a funny DVD instead.

GAB WITH PALS:
Commiserate with friends. It's perfectly okay to bring up your single gal pals and celebrate "Independence" instead of V-Day

Excited for the Future

I admit, I sometimes worry so much. I want to make sure that after I resign from my current work, everything would be okey. I intend to resign after two years and work full time on my online job. I also intend to put up a small business to keep me busy or get a part time call center or teaching job so I can socialize with different people. I don't want to set aside my social life and I know I need to mingle with people as well to keep me sane. I sometimes feel I can't wait any longer and is thinking of resigning right away - but I know I need to focus on what was originally planned. I know that my officemates does have their own plans for their lives and that we do have different priorities - maybe that's the exact same reason why it seems so easy for them to hop from one company to another. Most of my peers are now demotivated and is planning of switching companies and I admit, somehow, I feel the same. But God is so good that He is helping me get back on the right track and He is helping me get back my focus to what I know is beneficial to me. All of these are temporary, if I give up now because of the pressures at work and work on a different company... I know that sooner or later, I would feel the same way on the next company I'll be working at. It would just be a vicious cycle - I've learned that to be able to successfully win your goal... you should be able to adapt to changes. Change is constant...especially in a work environment. Lord help me to focus ONLY on my goal. Amen.

Another Year Without Divine

If my bestfriend is still alive, it would be her 30th birthday...most likely she already have her own family and a child of her own. She would have been a flight stewardess and was able to travel all over the world. But she stopped counting her birhday since she had her 25th...25 years of colorful and adventurous life is what she got.

I miss her, definitely miss her...especially now that our batch just recently had our own facebook page wherein we all could sign in and update each other about what's going on with our lives. I wished we still have her so she can write on our discussion wall and be with us on our reunion next month. I just hope I was able to let her feel that I love her when she was still alive and I know that she is now happy living the life that she deserves... a life without any fear, hurt or pain...

I love you bestfriend. I will still continue to remember you always as promised.. Happy Birthday...

Another Weight Loss Program

One of my new years resolution for the year is to lose weight. Almost every year for the past fifteen years, it has always been on the top of my list. I don't know why though it is my obsession to lose almost half of my body weight, I still cant seem to help myself from eating more than what is enough, My metabolism is also too low, I don't move much and most of my time are spent either in front of the television, in front of my computer or in my bed...sleeping. I don't want this kind of feeling anymore. I can't sit and cross my legs comfortably as how most of the girls are doing when they are sitting in a chair wearing skirt...I can't even wear a skirt! I have tried using different types of products on the market that promises good result but most of them failed.My friend Sam, my lesbian friend, who just recently resigned from the office told me about Herbalife. It is a premier nutrition and weight management company that sells out health products that are known to have positive effects on people who want's to lose weight. She said she tried the product for over a week and she can see and feel the difference in her appearance. I can tell she indeed shed a couple of pounds. I would like to try this product too, maybe I'll order one from Sam and check if it will also work for me. Wish me luck!

On Losing Another Friend

At last, it's my rest day! I with the whole team are really looking forward to this day as we are really feeling so stressed out due to a number of calls that we take these past couple of weeks. No avail time as in. Sup said it's most likely because most of Americans purchased a new laptop for Christmas and they are calling us for help on how to configure it. Anyways, after our shift last Wednesday (that would be Thursday morning), I together with most of my teammates went straight to Cafe Agogo to relax and just hang out. We really had a great time and just talked about our future plans and our views on what's happening to the office. We ate breakfast and had some beer. My friend Sam already passed her resignation. It's really a sad thing. She has been my friend for almost a year now...but I also know in the back of my mind that she is not happy in what she is doing anymore. She continues to fail her scorecard and we all know that sooner or later, she had to leave. What I am sad about is that when she passed her resignation letter to our coach, the coach bluntly said..."eh dito rin naman pala mapupunta to eh kasi hindi ka pumapasa sa scorecard..." ("this is the same exact path it would lead you because you are failing

Chillax Sunday

Just went home from a tiring day at work. After our shift, we went straight to Yoohoo Bar at Metrowalk to unwind, to eat and to console our friend Ice as she just recently lost her ex boyfriend. He died last January 31st due to a motorcycle accident and my friend is still mourning stage. I thought she just wants me and my other friend Melai to console her as she normally just confides to us so I canceled my appointment for today and just chose to spend the day with her as I feel she wants to cry and confide to us. To my surprise, she wants to invite our other teammates and wants to enjoy and laugh instead. I feel that she's already fine and since she already invited our teammates over, I thought of just backing out and proceed with my plan of meeting with my business partner. But my friends wants me to come so there you go, I went with them and spent the day laughing our hearts
