SATURDAY: after work, i went home immediately so i rest up and store some energy for the day ahead. my family planned to have a lil celebration this day. it has been a while since we went out together and have our family time.
around noon, when mom woke me up saying the my brother has arrived from school so we can go. i hurriedly took a bath and dressed up for our trip. first of the agenda is is picking up some package that was sent by tita mina in villaverde. right after which, i requested to make a turn going to dapitan to pick up some books i requested to be binded.
two things done in the list and we only have one left, which is, family lunch out. :D my brother requested that we have it in pizza hut megamall. we had a feast that moment, a sumptuous meal with sidings and desserts all over. we even took out the chocolate cupcake since we can no longer take any bite of it. :D we went home satisfied and so happy with our lunch celebration.
as we went home, i thought of one thing, and that is, family would really be there for you whatever it is you are facing. they'll always be there for you even though at times it seems that they are against your will. take care of your family whatever it takes my dear friends. so see you tomorrow for the next entry.

a day of promises 072310
FRIDAY: training day 10. the last day of training for this week. hehe time moves really fast when you're busy at something. but this day marks the day i became a sponsor. sponsor to my dear friend and ally, reina.
right after work, i went home to rest and sleep. about noon when i woke up for a very important, meet up with my coach and reina because today's the scheduled date when reina passes the 6th and 7th step of the ca2020's 8 step process of becoming a core team member.
we all agreed to meet up at greenbelt 1 at 1pm. so i rushed to makati to be there on time. when i got there, coach patricia explained what' going to happen that afternoon. we headed at the office in traffalgar plaza to do the 6th step of the process which is the pre-panel. so as i was watching reina do the process, it kinda reminded me of when i did the same thing way way back. it made me remember all the feeling, excitement and anxiety to be part of this wonderful community, createabundance2020.
after the 6th step, we went down the building to do the next step which is reina's panel interview. during the panel interview, i was listening closely to the questions given by the panelist and somehow, it brought back memories of me doing the same thing. i reminded me of my answers, promises and commitments i gave to the community. it struck me a lot and i reflected on those promises and commitments i gave before. it cleared up my mind with what i want to do, what i choose to do and what i get to do.
the whole day reminded me of my purpose and whispered it back to me. all the things ive learned, witnessed, and experienced, suddenly gushed forth and renewed me in an instant that being with ca2020, my life has changed for the better.
my dear friends, life is short, we only have limited time here on earth. it is best that we clear our minds and focus on the things we want to do for us to succeed and achieve whatever it is we dreamed for. and this is the wisdom i share to you.
until my next entry.

a day of togetherness 072210
THURSDAY: training day 9. this day is a very special day for me and my princess. its the same day when we began being together last month.
nothing much about the day since it was like any other day, i arrived at home, sleep, wake up, eat, go to work and spend the whole night till morning at the office, traning.
this marks the day where i exceeded my limits once again and began to learned more from experience. absorbing new concepts and scenarios in my life where i even grow twice because of the trials and challenges i face.
this entry will be a reminder and mark for me that i have surpassed these hurdles in life from a new perspective. a sign of greater growth and a bigger posibility in success.
my dear readers, growth comes from different forms. we need to learn from trials on all the aspects of life and generalize the learning so we can better ourselves in all of it. this wisdom i share to you now, so until tomorrow then. :D

a day of foosball 072110
WEDNESDAY: training day 8.yet another day of sleeping in the morning to compensate work graveyard shift. :D lets skip to part where i went to work. cause all that im going to talk about is what happened in my shift. :D
now for the fun part, night came and i needed to go to work again. this time, i went there a bit early to have another shot at foosball. i really wanted to try it more because the way i see it, there's more to learn when playing it rather than reading articles about it and just watching it by the sides. :D i remember what my mentor usually say to me when i see something interesting to learn, "learn by doing!"
so upon arrival at the office, i met up with my co-trainee and he invited me to play foosball. we played every minute we had until its time for training. now the interesting part of this day was, immediately after we went out of the room for breaks, we headed out to the foosball table and played like crazy. and when lunch came, we ate fast so we have more time to play and practice. we played a lot and we played good. we even got new players, our other co-trainees playing like crazy since they've watched us play before.
from my experience, i tend to judge things at a first glance and when i do, sometimes i let those judgment be the only judgment i have for such. for example, when i signed up for facebook. let me tell you a quick story about it. i signed up in facebook maybe around 5 months right after it has been introduced to the world. at first i thought of it as something as a rip off site, but then, as time passes by, my judgment slowly changed and pushed m to try facebook once and for all. and from that day since, ive been a facebook addict. :D
my dear friends, things around us may not be the best at first but once we give it a try, who knows... they might be the ones for you. :D so until my next entry.

a day of unexpected blessings 072010
TUESDAY: training day 7. this time around, mornings was spent for sleeping. so the first part of my entries might sound weird to some. :D just a heads up though. early morning i got home and i surfed the net for quite a few moments, then i slept right after.
i woke up around 6, stood up, took a bath and dressed up for work. it took me 15 mins to travel all the ay here to the office. as usual, same happenings at work. but there was on specific thing that's different from the other days, and that is i received an unexpected blessing :D
lunch time came and i didn't have the appetite to eat then. but during our unpaid break, i felt a bit hungry. sad thing is that i used up my allowance for food this day earlier in the shift, actually before the shift. so i was worried if im going to eat or not.
now for the fun part. that time, i stayed with my colleagues eating lunch at the pantry. and i kinda notice momi weng, not eating her packed lunch. i got curious and asked her why is she not eating those. she answered as if she doesn't want to eat that time. i then discovered from my other colleagues that she's always like that. she brings lunch but she doesn't eat it all.
well. i said its a waste if she's just going to throw it away. then momi weng offered her lunch to me. she mentioned that i can have it. being an excellent receiver, i asked first if she's sure about what she's offering me. well she said yes and i can really have it. wow! im a free lunch magnet! thank you thank you thank you hehe :D
my dear readers, life is really full of blessings and opportunity as well. they're all around us. for some, spotting these blessings and opportunity may be hard for some and for some its not. how do you see these things you might ask. well, you just have to open your eyes, your mind, and your heart to all the things around you. sometimes these blessings and opportunity are already knocking at your door and some are already in front of you but you are just denying because you can't believe its happening or you don't think that these are for you since you believe that your not worthy of it.
this is my wisdom i share to you. hope you get something from this day of mine and hope to see you in the next entry.

a day of judging 071910
MONDAY: training day 6. early morning i was still on my late sleep mode since work starts off at night. so this morning i did what i supposed to be doing and that is finishing my blog entries. i want to use this opportunity to apologize to all of you, my dear readers for my late posting of each entry. it just so happen that im on night shift now and i cant get to writing entries. i would like to apologize as well to the avid followers of my daily blogs, for posting a few entries all on the same time. please bear with my since im still adjusting my time and schedule. thank you :D
anyway, back to this day's happenings. since night shift require you to be awake at night, you then compensate with your day to sleep. i planned the whole afternoon doing blogs but i finished them early so i just hanged out. but for some reason, the sandman was able to put sad in my eyes and made me fall asleep. i later then realize that it was already 6:30pm. hurriedly i stood up, took a bath and dressed up for work.
at work, nothing much happened since its the usual stuff you do in the office, which is work. in my point of view, there's limited learning opportunity regarding life lessons. for me im not that growing in a sense because im doing a routine with the things i do. so to make everything short, the day just passed by as we discussed about work.
the only thing i know is this day, i learned how to play foosball. at first i was hesitant to play it when my colleagues are inviting me. but after some persuasions, i finally joined them and played foosball. while playing i was a bit awkward about it since i wasn't doing the right stuff, like i can't pass the ball, and even can't make a shot. anyway, as the day of training ended, i found out that i misjudged the game since before, i see it as childish because i only see children playing it.
my dear readers, refrain from believing you first ever assessment of something or your first impression because you might think twice when you find out more about it. ill stress out this cliche, "don't judge the book by its cover" since you won't learn anything by doing so. its like saying "i know that" to yourself, and when do, you automatically stop your own growth.
so until the next entry :D

a day of chillaxing 071810
SUNDAY: i woke up really late this time. i slept for hours being so tired and all since i arrived at home around 11pm last night. i woke up and ate lunch. after that, i fired up my pc and surfed the net an checked on my fb account. i got a bit upset since the line seems to be unstable, can't even pull up the proper front pages of each web page i type in.
since i was getting a lil frustrated with my connection to the internet, i decided to hang out with mom in our laundry shop. i was a rainy afternoon when we had our snack, well technically i was the only one who had a snack since mom was busy with something. soon after i got bored and went to the i-net cafe across the street in front of our house.
i spent some time playing my favorite online game. i kinda missed it since it has been a while since i last played it. :D
after that, i went back home to try surfing the net, and good thing is that, my connection is now better. great! i decided to download some fun songs so as to be my background music whenever use the pc. night came and we ,mom and i, accompanied my brother to his work. he filled his resignation last night so he asked us to wait for him outside the office so we can go home together.
when we got home here, me and my brother, had our fun and crazy talk about our hobby and our favorite game. ive missed those moments where we can talk for hours with one topic. hehehe i guess i kinda missed the lil guy because he is usually off to work around 8pm. we talked all night about everything in it while we where surfing the net and downloading songs.
me dear friends, cherish every moment you have with your love ones. even though you feel tired and sore, they are still the best blessing ever you could ever have. they'll always back you up if you're in trouble and wake you up from insanity if ever you loose your way. these people and their love and time for you are the most precious gifts you can receive in your whole life. as the slogan of master card goes... "pc, $250... online games, $50.... sharing it with your brother, PRICELESS..." :D
so til he next entry :D

a day of uncertainty 071610
FRIDAY: training day 5. new training starts for the product of our account. early morning i woke up and rushed to the clinic where we had our medical check up because i received a news from the office that i needed to have another xray taken.
sigh... i went there with out and certainty of what they saw in my xray and i was worried with what they found. when i got to the clinic, i went straight to the reception and the pulled up my results. they talked to me about what they saw in the results. they wanted to check something in my lungs that's why they requested for another closer shot of an xray of my lungs. i had no choice but be sure with what is was so i agreed to take another xray there. right after that, the mentioned that the result would be forwarded to the office and i can go. :D
so i went home, still without any clue about what that was. and as i was passing by nu skin office to get and buy something there, i was still thinking of what would be wrong with my xrays. i arrived home and still wondering about it. i slept for a while since today, our training starts at 9pm.
when i got to the training, i was waiting for and announcement for me to go to the clinic at the office for the results, but alas, there was none. so as usual, the training lasted until 6am ad i went home.
when faced with uncertainty, it does mean that you also stop whats going on. you still live your lives as is. it may take some time for you to move forward after being aware of something that you don't know because you'd be analyzing it. my dear readers, one line i would like to share to you and that is, "analysis-paralysis" the more you analyze things, the more you might be stuck thinking about it.
so until the next entry :D

a day of standing by 071510
THURSDAY: training day 4. This day is the last day for english and speech training. same as the last few days, i woke up early for the training. when i arrived there we did the same activities but today we had our judgment day because we were about to be assessed for certification.
we did our last test in the morning and then we waited the whole shift for our 1 on 1 interview with clarice, our trainer. it was like 3/4 of the shift we were outside the room and waiting for our turn to be called. this moment was a fun moment since it was the perfect time to mingle with my new batch mates in work. indeed they're fun to be with, i learned a lot form their experiences. some of them even invited me to play fuzzball in the lounge, hehe fun times, fun times.
as the day ends, we still chilled out inside the room chitchatted away the rest of the minutes left right after we finished the interview. clarice, the trainer made a last minute announcement that we all passed the training. :D yeah!
my wisdom that i want to share with you my dear readers, is that take every moment of your lives to know more and more people. why you ask? for one good reason, invest in people. why? simple... i invest in people, not in money, because people will lead you to where the money is. in other words, these people will be your guide to true wealth.
so until me next entry. :D

a day of reschedule 071410
WEDNESDAY: training day 3. this day i woke earlier than the previous days since our training time was moved an hour ahead so i've got to be in the office at 10am.
it was so close, i was almost late this day, but its was a good hting since there was a storm yesterday, and its was still raining a bit. i made it in time and the training started late since everyone was i bit late as well. :D
same old, same old... the training went well as usual and ended around 7pm since we started a bit early. after shift, i didn't go home immediately, but i tried to go glorietta because i thought i would be meeting coach patricia that night. i was alreaddy in line to buy a mrt ticket when sh sadi that we can't meet that night since she was already on a meeting with someone. i went home a bit disappointed by the news. i was kinda really looking forward to it but due to the situation, it was postponed. sigh..
my dear followers, what we expect sometimes doesn't happen the way we want it to be. sometimes a lil change in plan happens. unexpected things occur everyday that may change what was previously set. as what i learned from my coaches, "there's no plan that happens as planned, revision always occur."
this is the wisdom i share to you, my friends. don't be upset with what's happening and not happening as planned. just prepare to be surprised. because these lil things that occur unplanned may be the ones tha would be better than what you're thinkin of.
so till the next day.
a day of the storm 071310
TUESDAY: training day 2. like yesterday, i woke up early morning for our training in my work. this day we met a new trainer, clarice. she's nice, pretty and very good at what she teaches, the english language.
well, like any other traning sessions, the whole day was dedicated to training, specially about the english language. there were no particular new things that happened during this day. the only thing i can take note of is the storm that came at night. when i went home form work, i was almost about to rain. it was drizzling on my way home. there's no problem going home from work since i only take a tricycle and a jeepney.
it already rained went i was exactly at our door step. phew, thank God! :D anyway, i did the usual things i do when im free, chill out, surf the net and even check fb. all of a sudden, the lights went out. there was a power outage across town. then when i looked at the window, it was a lil bit raining until a strong gust hit our windows. it was so strong that it can be heard whooshing across. in spite the darkness, i wrapped up my things for tomorrow.
now, when i was about to sleep, another strong gust whooshed in. i was shocked with it because it blew away things on top our cabinet. it also blew my gunpla collections on top of it as well. i got a lil frustrated because of it since one of my collections broke when the wind blew in. i immediately fixed it even though it w so dark and i had to rely on my tiny flashlight.
since the wind was continuously blowing in, i removed my collection from the top of our cabinet and moved it to a lower place where they can't be blown away anymore. i was having a hard time sleeping as well. the strong wind is now blowing in the rain and its making my bed and cabinet, wet. tough i was already sleeping that time, i stood up and tried to close the window so i won't get wet.
the whole experience was a normal situation around here specially when storms come in. the only difference this storm has is its wind. normal storms usually carry a lot of rain.
now, i would like to stress out the importance of being a responsive person. when the lights went out, i didn't react. i just thought of the things i need to do or i can do in the dark. plus, another major point here, i didn't complain at all. i didn't get upset because there was no electricity, nor it was dark. i just did what i think i need to do with the things being blown off.
some people would normally scream out when they experience power outage. they are usually reacting to the situation and they also complain why is it happening. they are focused on the thing that already happened, and not on the things that they can do on that specific situation.
my dear readers, respond intelligently and don't react emotionally. if your emotions get a hold of you, you won't be able to resolve your problems. take time to respond, strategize, and assess the situation.
this is the wisdom i give form today. until tom. :D

a day of change 071210
MONDAY: training day 1, hate counting this but ill do it anyway just to count how many days ill be in the race. woke up early today but i didn't get up immediately, felt lonely since this would be a start of another episode in my life.
around 9am when i stood up and prepared to go to training. took a bath, dressed up, ate brunch, went to training almost 30 mins. my scheduled time. i arrived on time for the first day of training. the whole training went well, but it wasn't that exciting like it used to be. my whole day went by just like that. you can't blame me for feeling this way since im clear with myself with what i want.
log out came, and it was the happiest moment of that day. felt that i was free again :D i went straight home. ate dinner with mom. i surfed the net, and checked some updates in fb then i watched another dvd i bought yesterday that i wasn't able to watch. now, during those time at home, i was feeling a bit weird because i was kinda edgy and pushy. i was texting my princess that time and i kinda pushed myself a lil over the line. i felt so bad because my old habits were kicking in and overpowering me. i really felt bad that i can't get over what happened. i apologize for what i did, and she said to let it pass by, but i was still down about it.
a few moments past and i think my princess fell asleep since she didn't reply and it was around midnight, then i reflected on the situation. that's when i found out that external factors were affecting me even-though i was mastering my emotion and kept my values. "you're like a wall, and everyone is throwing spaghetti and pizza on you. though if it hits, there's some pieces that sticks to you." said my mentor and friend, coach dylan way back. that saying rang in my head the whole time and i was reflecting.
i was again aware of what's happening, i did understand how it came to be. and the reconditioning starts right after. this would promote change.
my dear readers, change starts from somewhere and that somewhere is when you realize who you are at the situation. its like zeroing-in your coordinates then map out your way from that point. if you realize that you are in a position that you don't like or feel awkward, be aware, understand why this is happening to you and recondition yourself to what you really wanted. this way, you become responsive to your wants, and you don't loose valuable time and effort to get it.
this is the wisdom i give you tonight. hope you get this and make it work for you :D

a day of lasts 071110
SUNDAY: yet another wonderful day in my life. this day was dedicated to celebrate my last day as a common person because tomorrow, training will start for my work.
well here's what happened this day: early morning, i woke up and meet up my princess in galleria. we went to megamall first and ate pork and shrimp steam dumplings from the best dumpling stall there is. then we went straight home but passed by first in a dvd stall where we bought some cds :D
we arrived here at home and had lunch with my family. this would be the first time my princess would have seen and met my parents and my brother as well. right after lunch, i escorted her to her main agenda, which is her work in pasig. knowing my princess is safe and sound in her destination, i went to pass by my tita's place in pasig. we had a lil chitchat with tita and tito and caught up with some stories and gossips about me and others while i wait for dad so i can catch a ride home. :D
i watched new dvd's when i got home from pasig. and that's how i ended this wonderful day.
today was my last day as a free man in my view. please don't get me wrong about this. getting a job is good but for me its just temporary because im broke as of the moment. keeping the same job for a long time would be insanity, because that makes me trapped in the same race.
i want something that can generate income without me personally being there or personally operating it. im going for the passive source of income. it's tough to acquire such source though but for me to start my journey to that state, i need to go and have a job. for me its just stage point five, to acquire income for me to move around in stage one and prepare for my stage two.
so as i move forward to another chapter i my life, i ended the previous chapter with a celebration with all of my love ones. this is how i say thank you to God and the universe for all the blessings i receive all the days of my life.
Im a loving family, gorgeous girlfriend, sumptuous food, wonderful business, and work MAGNET!!! thank you thank you thank you Lord!!!
hope you get something out of this day. so until tomorrow :D

a day of cleaning 071010
SATURDAY: this day, i thought of cleaning. i haven't cleaned my room for weeks now since i've been busy doing stuff. so, right after i woke up, i started cleaning with my mom.
first thing i cleaned was our fan. its almost covered with dust bunnies. ahahahaha im exagerating guys, please bear with me :D its been ages since i cleaned one of this that i almost forgot how to do it. funny huh? anyways, after im done with our fan, mom asked me to also clean the other fan in the living room. so no complains and i did cleaned it up.
after some backbreaking washing of fans, i then turned myself on sweeping my room. at least i still remember how to sweep this time. so swept i go all over my room. rearranged some things on cabinets, drawers and the like while sweeping to keep things in order.
there. everything was done so i took a break and watched some tele. while watching, i was texting my princess and through our conversation i realized i also need some cleaning up with my stories and my thoughts because i was already creating some disempowering stories and i was even doubting. well, its a good thing that ive mastered me emotions and managed what was going on my head before it got out of hand. i appreciate it so much that my princess was so understanding while i did my cleaning with myself.
well, that's the major stuff that happened this day. and this is the wisdom i give you. 'we live in a world of duality, just as there are empowerments, there are also disempowerments.' we want to control those disempowerments and look for their opposites. focus on the empowerments that boost you up even when youre down. :D
a day of tiredness 070910
FRIDAY: Big day today. its the day i sign the contract of my new work, but first i need to acquire a renewed NBI clearance from mandaluyong city hall. its kinda funny sight seeing people complain from the long line and process of getting a clearance. you can see people frowning, whisperring with themsleves and even fanning from the heat that morning. yep, its was a hot and long morning but patience got me to a good start.
next agenda right after i received my new nbi clearance is to get to the office and submit it for my contract signing. i arrived their right on time. i gave the requirement, they let me sign the contract and announced that i need to have my medical immediately, if not, i won't be able to start on monday. so i instantly went off and had an early lunch at mcdonald's near the office. after lunch, i went to the clinic with my co-trainees in makati.
another interesting event at the clinic. there are so many people waiting in line again. good thing though that we arrived just in time and the process was just as fast as normal. i find it funny again since people were once again complaining because of the long wait. ahahaha i can't get enough of their faces with frowns and even fierce faces.
now back to the office for our orientation around afternoon. the orientation was great actually but it did last long up to 10pm which made people frown again. they were already complaining why do we have to stay that long. you can definitely see the smile on their faces when we were dismissed from the orientation, and boy it was so a long day but fun and tiring for the people around :D
you guys might be wondering why i find it funny when people complain. well if you see my world, it goes like this... for me complaining, and also blaming are negativities. according to the law of attraction, like attracts like, and what you focus on expands. so is like attractinf more negativties in life, sort of a crap magnet :D i don't want to attract those things in my life, they are crap! second point. its tiring to get upset and mad sometimes. you use a lot of energy to say your mind to the opposite party while the opposite party doesn't even care what you are saying. so you waste a lot of precious energy with just one blow of anger.
this is how i stay and look young. i don't focus on the stuff that doesn't help me even destroys me. i focus on the wonderful and awesome things thats's happening around me. in the long runn, i attract even more wonderful and awesome stuff. :D the law of attraction, you got love it :D
this is my wisdom that i want to share to you today. hope you get something from it :D so untuil the next one.

a day of patience 070810
THURSDAY: this time, its for real. i woke up early to look for work. around 10 am when i left the house and went straight to robinsons forum pioneer to buy my phone a new pouch and strap to keep it neat. right after so, i went to shaw blvd. and looked for a specific company i know.
i arrived there around 10:30am and found out that ICT group was already merged to sykes asia. with no second thought, i entered and applied there. it was a good thing that they kept their promise of "one day processing" and ill tell you more about it.
like the usual interview for work, you have to go thru a process. and yes, it was all "one day processing". first interview, then to the next, one computer and internet navigation exam, then to another interview and again and again. phew.. i was surprised to experience this because i logged in 10:30am and logged out from the office around 9:00pm. WOAH! i correct! my body got sore, my feet tired, and my butt, flat out since ive sat all day waiting and waiting for the next interview.
one thing that kept my going thru the process was a saying my princess told me earlier. "patience is a virtue!" i didn't understood it when she said it but during the times of the long wait, it kept ringing and ringing in my head. more like a lil voice saying everything is worth the wait.
so after a long wait in the recruitment office, all those tiring moments and the long wait, they paid off. all those effort of sitting down and patiently waiting attracted one great thing. i got the job! weeeeeee! but i still see it as a temporary thing.
my dear readers, a lil bit of patience goes a long long long long way.
this is the wisdom i share to you today. until tomorrow then :D

a day of decision 070710
WEDNESDAY: i woke up really early because of an unusual wake up call from my princess. 7am when i opened my eyes because of a loud ringtone due to a call. i was supposed to to go and apply again but a gut in me felt like ot to go out of the house. my mom was even asking if would stil want to go and hunt for a job.
to tell you frankly, i have this story within me that im not qualified as an employee. i consider myself more than that. some of you might be offended by this, i apologize. this is just what i feel. i feel that im more adequate for business and not for a job. and this feeling is actually holding me backfrom doing my best and moving forward.
i spent the whole day at home doing the usual stuff a person does at home. i watched some tv, watched as well dvds, surfed the net, chatted online, ate ice cream on sticks, took pictures of my gunpla models, texted a lot and the like. i was trying to make myself preoccupied because i don't want to face this conflict of mine. i was still unsure if im going to look for a job.
i looked at the pro's and con's of the situation im in. yes, having a job, gives me a stable income, compared to doing business which is, your income depends on you performance. in short, variable. now if i had a job, i can have extra money set aside for my liesure, i can spend time with my princess anytime, during my rest days only though. since im running short in finances these days, its a good idea to grab this.
YES! ill do it. ill get a job! in only one condition. its going to be temporary. ill try to make it last for 6 months, and simultaneously building my business. from that point ill make sue my business will grow and make it my primary source.
so it has been decided. ill delay my gratification and sacrifice for these months. these may lead to a greater opportunity since its also a yes to a small decision.
my friends, these commoly happens to everyone. having wasted some time just thinking of a decision for their own problems and conflicts. some loose their focus that they are left thinking and thinking that they can't decide at all. a common term, analysis, paralysis!
we should learn how to be decisive and quickly choose the path we want to take and stick to it until the end. it is hard at first if you're not used to it yet but if you train yourself, you'll save yourself a lot of time from being wasted just thinking over a small matter.
hope you got something from today's ecperience. so until tomorrow's entry :D
a day of failure 070610
this will be the mark that i have blog 30 days consistently. today marks my first month-sary of blogging daily even though i didn't posted them on the same day, but at least the whole month was complete.
and as a celebration for this, i would open another blog site to post my daily blogs. these would make my blogs reach other people. for the new readers that would be reading my entries, a lil background for you. im drew naynes, blogging every day of my life because i want to share hidden learning from my experience of day to day life.
TUESDAY: this day, i decided to accompany my mom again with my cousin's papers. this would be the second time we did this for the same papers. but this time, we need to go to tita emilee's office and get something from there.
we went to the office of the department of tourism in manila. it was quite an adventure for me again since i haven't been to that place. (i have this thing for stuff like exploring places i haven't reached yet.) when we got there, we saw tita emilee and she processed the papers with ease, she even treated lunch there. well we're a free lunch magnet, thank you thank you thank you!
right after that, we were instructed to go to DSWD office near pedro gil street. no-one had a clue how to get there, but following what tita emilee's instruction that the office is 4 blogs away from taft avenue and its near pedro gil. instincts kicked in and we looked for it. we even had a mistake because we went the other way instead the one from the right. sigh.
fortunately, we got there in one piece. we found the place and immediately fixed the papers. unexpectedly, we lack one important affidavit. so the whole day was a failure. we still lack one requirement.
we went home tired and a lil upset, but we were already planning on how to fix this minor problem we encountered.
now, failure do happen, even if we given it all we've got. there's always a chance of failing. its up to us if we would react or respond to what happened or what is happening. you might be wondering what's the difference between the two. reacting is what usually do right after something happens. let's say its a hot day, and we often would say "its so hot!" or even curse the day for being hot. you let emotions control you over the situation. responding differs because is like looking for better options immediately. responding is when you control your emotions and use you mental abilities to solve what's wrong in the situation.
actually, today's theme is similar to one of my previous entry. it just so happen that this time, i was with my mom, and she usually reacts to situation. i, on the other-hand, some how mastered this differences and i was able to guide her out of that state.
this is what i want to share to you today. so, until the next entry. :D
