Just some things I would like to attain this 2008: Earn a cumulative of PhP__________ (secret!) from blogging. Organize at least 10 events. Clean my room and organize all my things. Move to a better place by June and have my own internet connection at my place. Renew my passport, get my Postal ID, and Voter's ID. Buy a digital camera, and a new phone. Finalize all school-related stuff ie make sure I really graduated already. Attend 80% of the Davao City Council's Sessions. Have at least one blog entry per week for all my blogs. Register my own company. Lose 15 pounds. Supposed to be only 10 but I gained a lot of weight during the Holidays... Bah! Watch at least one movie per month. I watched less than 10 the entire 2007. Organize my finances. Have a working PayPal Account. Have a credit card and not abuse it.

Some Things I am Thankful For
It's one day before Christmas Eve, and I'm feeling great today. It's like there are endless possibilities out there and I'm bound to have some great days ahead. Despite my problems, angst, and bitterness, there were are things I should be thankful for: I am grateful for the people around me. I've already thanked them before but I think they deserve another mention: my cousins, especially Gwing, Luan, Kuya Andrew, John and Cherry, Cha, Brian and Aimee, and Mae; my aunts and uncles, Mommy and Daddy, Tia Mila, Mam Bebs, Tita Teri, and Tita Ivi; my friends from high school, Neil, Mae, Catet, Wenna, Bbboy, JJ, Kate, Erwil, Ace, Mikong, and Twy; my forever bestfriends Joey and Tiani; my friend from college, Lucky; my SJL Boys, especially Papi, Aiwem, Jobo, Brylle, Toti, Elmer, and Landz; the Sta Ana boys, Pics, Pido, Talong, and BJ; the BT boys, Jay, Rioren, Topher, Cocoy, Chian, Jeztah, Duke, Badz, Adi, Burnz, and Yuki; the other DotA boys, Jay, Brian, Jaffet, Totzkie, the Tagum boys, the Kidapawan boys; my colleagues in Seattle, especially Sis Lysette, Sis Palle, Levi, and Glenn; my employers, Seattle, Brian aka APEX, Kuya Andrew aka Alleba, and Boss Johnny; my landlords…
DotA > Work
After ranting that I will be super busy this weekend, Kuya Andrew invited me to play DotA last night. And, well, I junked my work schedule and played DotA. Got to play with some of the best Manila players. Given that, I sucked BIG TIME. But I had fun. We finished playing at around 2 am, went to McDonald's for drive thru, went home then slept. NOT! Upon arriving home, I worked until... 6 am. RAWRRR! Shouldn't have played DotA at all.
Busy Weekend
I slept ridiculously late this morning last night because I was up working, working, working, and woke up at 11 am. I just came from from the mall because I accompanied my cousin and two aunts. I want to go to sleep but I know I shouldn't. November 30 is almost here and I still have TONS (as in TONS) to finish. When Kuya Andrew comes back from badminton, we'll probably eat dinner then go someplace for WiFi to work again. Then, when I get home, I'll probably continue working. A friend is trying to persuade me to go out drinking later. I want to but I know I shouldn't. Even if I finish my tasks for the day, and still have time to go out, I simply cannot risk sleeping very late again tonight and having some sort of hang over tomorrow. Tomorrow, I will be working on same work stuff again. I thought I'd be near the finish line by now, but I'm not. I simply do not have the willpower, energy, and mental toughness to work very long hours like I used to. So tomorrow, my plan is to just stay inside the house and work till…
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. For the other company I'm consulting for, there's suddenly people interested in getting our services, but I'm not sure yet if my "boss" read my emails. Asan na kaya yun? 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! Add to that the twenty plus other blogs I am now tasked of writing for. Ang…
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.
