Dorm-ant

This blog has been dormant for a quite sometime. Luckily,  its not blocked or banned. This post will be blast from the past so here it goes. Wooosh!

November 5, 2011
A job fair was held somewhere in Manila offering positions from a well known bank. So I prepared for that day. I brought all my documents needed and off I go. At the job fair I met applicants like me whose reason is mainly just to have a job. I passed the interview and written exams. The next day I had my medical exam. It took a month before I finally got the certificate that I am fit to work.

January 2012
Our training. Everything is taught. Not toxic, no pressure at all. How we all wish we're just in training. After 3 weeks of gunshot and information overload training, we're sent to our respective branches. This is the start of a newbie dilemma. Lots of errors even your hands and feet are not enough to count it, shortages you should pay, overage you should give back, endless questions, slow pace transaction, hard to reach or hard or to talk to co-workers, can't-figure-out-attitude officers. How we wish we're all just in training.

January...February...March passed... I deal with different kinds of clients. Irate, submissive, and freak of the world. First two months was a bliss. I got to buy things for myself, for Sophie, and for the peops here at home but the following month as Gaspard and Lisa say it was catastrophe! (in french). More errors occur. Bloody lot's of it! Then little by little, I started to frail. Heavy heart, heavy feet everyday on my way to work. I'm just not happy anymore. I try to give a spark my will to work, though but it wont. So I decided to to end it so as to not perish or peril my co-workers. It should be immediate. They told me things like it's not easy to find a job these days, just go with it, etc. I told to myself, go on and be on my shoes and I persist. April 16, I'm free...almost. Still waiting for the clearance and separation pay, if there's any.

As of now, I'm living my life as a mother taking care of my child and a wife tending to the needs of my husband. Such a task!

I realized that it is so hard to work when your heart and mind was not on it. I felt like I'm a slave serving my master. I hope to find a job that I don't feel like working at all somewhat close to my degree.

Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.

Happy Mother's Day

 I know this is long over due but it is still the month we celebrate Mother's Day, right? So lend me your yes and ears for a while. May 13, 2012. The whole world pays tribute and cheers for the greatest woman of our lives - our mothers. Many names have been called to her. Mom, Mama, Momsie, Mamita, Mimi, Mommy, Inay, Nanay, Mudra or Mudang (in gay language here in the Philippines) but whatever names you call them it will still give a tinge of pride and joy when you call them. On this day, many send their greetings to me thru text (BTW, I'm already a mom). I'm thankful for it but I felt a little awkward. I just told myself, I am officially a mother. This is my first ever mother's day celebration. I greet my mama and she greet me back, and we laugh. We spend the day at home watching movies and eating what's on our fridge. Let's us thank our mom for they are the only person who will love and support us all the way. For us moms, always and forever give ou

AAAAAND IT HIT ME!

An advertisement of dish seasoning here in the Philippines that shows a wife (who is newly wed) having insecurities in her cooking skills because her mother-in -law (her husband's mother) cooks well. This ad knock me out, hard! big time! Though Charles and I were not yet living on the same roof, I'm having this jittery feeling whenever I thought about it. I'm afraid that I cannot equate his mother's skills especially in cooking. I can cook though but I don't have the guts or confidence as many call it. (How's that for insecurity?) Just a brief background about women getting married here in the Philippines, it is a culture and tradition that a girl should know how to do house chores like cleaning the house, washing clothes, doing the dishes, sew, fix, and most specially cooking and preparing meals for the family. As early as a young age, girls are trained and taught about house chores so when the time come that they are having their own family, they're

The webinar lesson I promised :)

Remember the webinar I promise to share with you? Well, here it is. Sorry for keeping you waiting. My apologies. Well, here we go! :) We had this online seminar or webinar last October 5, 2013, as our team called it. Our guest speaker is Coach JR who is also making a living in the networking or MLM arena. He made us close our eyes. He told us to have a clear picture in our minds of what we really want in our life. House, car, another business, a dream wedding, etc. As his explanation goes, envisioning your fruit, always before bedtime or waking up, or making a vision of what you really want keeps you positive and motivated to get it. And that's number 1, envision your fruit. Number 2 Accept it. Own it. If you picture something, let's say a mobile phone or a laptop computer, you picture as if it is.yours. This mobile phone is mine. This car is mine. Then you do something that will make it a reality (legally speaking). Me for example, I picture myself to pay the debt
