Life = Work

November is almost ending. With that comes deadlines, and the pressure and stress of the Christmas season. Right now, my life is composed of work, work, and more work. Over at my main job as a Legislative Research Assistant, work is not so hectic. But there are days like today when there's so much that has to be accomplished. It's not a very demanding job but it requires a lot of thinking. With my second job as a Marketing Consultant, there's a lot of pressure right now. We have an event on December 8, and I haven't heard from any of the potential sponsors. BOOHOO! Plus, I have to regularly update our blog and always be on the look out for news regarding the industry.

AND as a professional blogger, I am seriously facing a mountain of things to do. First, of course is maintaining and updating my 11 blogs. Yup, yup... ELEVEN BLOGS!

Lessons I Learned Today

Here are some things I realized throughout this day... 1.) Be patient. 2.) Don't not be quick to say things when you are angry. You might regret it. 3.) Trust. 4.) When feeling intense emotions, take a deep breath, work, immerse yourself in productive things rather than wallow in anger or pain. 5.) Let go of things that only add to your stress especially if these things do not contribute to your personal growth. 6.) Smile. Laugh. There's always something to be happy about. 7.) Be thankful. There is always something to be thankful for.

Feeling Celebrity at the Mindanao Bloggers Summit

See this... photo by Charles A lot of people (boys to be exact) asked for my autograph after the Mindanao Bloggers Summit. Is it because of my alluring smile? LOL! Just kidding... Nope, it's because I was doing this during lunch time... photo by Jun I was handing out the yummy free lunch by Dimsum Diner. Oh, and here's another photo of me with a fan... JUST KIDDING! That's me with Winston the volunteer. {PST! Pasalubong from Brunei and Indonesia ha.}

PR 4

While a lot of bloggers went a notch or notch(es) down in terms of Page Rank, I just noticed that this blog, Life with Ria, just went up from PR 2 to 4.

Busy, Busy, Busy

Today will be a very hectic day for me because tomorrow is THE DAY! Tomorrow, all roads lead to the Convention Center at the fourth floor of the NCCC Mall of Davao. Bloggers will converge for the first ever Mindano Bloggers Summit. Today is ingress and last minute preparations day. Kuya Andrew, Gwing, and I woke up very early to do some stuff for the MBS. Then we brought him to the house where he is staying, then we had arroz caldo and tokwa't baboy at Dencia's. YUM! I then went to the office to start blogging and blog hopping. I was offline for more than 24 hours because I went to General Santos City yesterday. I have already made two blog entries this morning but I have lots more to blog about: 1) Things to Remember for a Road Trip - Life with Ria 2) Pinoy Big Brother Updates - Chikadora 3) Dencio's - My Davao City 4) What to do When You're In-Charge of Food - Work with Ria 5) Memories of our General Santos City Trip - Life with Ria Gwing and I are leaving the office soon to meet up with Kuya Andrew and Jayvee for…
