My Space. My Life

There’s a super typhoon coming in to our country. Other provinces have been hit already but Manila has been rain free since yesterday. I am scared to think that this is the calm before the storm. I am also feeling sad about the places that were hit. A lot of families have been displaced I’m sure. And eventhough this has been a yearly thing, nothing would lessen the awfulness of seeing a lot of families losing their loved ones or losing their homes because of the typhoons. Let’s pray for all of them please.

Well, I did not dream of anything but I might as well had a nightmare with what happened. I jolted awake by the rain. But not just the rain outside, it was pouring inside our bedroom! OMG! The roof had been a problem for quite some time and it is quite a complicated issue why it hasn’t been fixed yet and I don’t want to go into the details right now. But yeah, you can say I was at first shocked, and then I panicked. The TV was turned on as well as the other appliances. I immediately turned them off and yanked plugs out of the electric sockets. In hindsight, I now see that it was a dangerous move, I might have been electrocuted but I was on an adrenaline rush. Now, I am just so pissed off I want to pack my bags and leave. But, I know it’s not going to do anything good so I am staying put. I just need to get it out.

I’ve decided to get a dSLR this December and I can not wait! I know I said I would put it aside for the big move but I just can’t resist! Each day, my love and curiosity for photgraphy grows. In fact, I am missing my beloved S3 IS right now. My sister borrowed it for a school function and I won’t be getting it back until next week. Sigh. For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been thinking if I’d really get the dSLR. I keep asking myself if I would have the time to take photos. But you know what, I will make time. I will invest. I will grow in this newfound hobby. Now my dilemma is which camera to get. The Canon EOS 400D or the Nikon D40x? Any suggestions?

Do you remember during interviews they often ask you this question: “How do you see yourself in the company __ years from now?” Well, I;ve been asking myself that question lately. Not for my career but with my life. You see, I am quite a dreamer. Everytime I travel to and from work, I daydream about a lot of stuff. My dream house, my dream car and a whole lot more. Now I asked myself that question, and here’s my most recent answer. I am saying most recent because this may still change but I hope not too much. Anyway, I see myself and the husband living in our dream house with hopefully a kid of our own. Not too big of a house but just enough for our family. I see myself as a stay at home mom to my kid enjoying his/her growing up years and travelling with me and the husband. Sigh! I’m feeling all giddy tuloy thinking about that dream of mine.

My mind is wandering about these days. All I could think about is leaving the company and stay at home. I want to see my husband and spend time with him. I want to be working days and not nights. I want to stay awake in the mornings and not asleep. I want a life. Is that too bad? What I am more concerned about is the salary though. I really don’t know if I can afford not to have one. Gaaah! What to do? What to do?

I know a lot of you have noticed the increase in my paid posts. I hope you don’t mind if I earn a bit on the side. But the blog world is all abuzz about Google’s recent update. A lot of people doing paid blogs had their ranks lowered one notch and it’s not making them happy. This blog went down from PR 2 to PR 1 and although it pissed me off at first, I decided to let it go and move on. Blog as much as I can and enjoy the ride. After all, as much as I love doing paid posts, that is not really the essence of blogging right? So let’s just all enjoy the ride. Let’s not care about what Google says. We don’t even understand their algorithm if it’s fair or not. Keep on blogging bloggers and let’s show Google they’re wrong

I’ve been out for some time. My broadband internet connection has been acting up and gave up on me a couple of days ago. Good thing they were able to fix it but not until I lost a lot of my assignments. Dang! Other than that, I’ve been busy with work, trying to prove myself, giving out more than I can. I’ve been pretty stressed! It’s was a blessing that the husband was on leave this week before he starts in his new job. I wish I’d taken a leave as well but it’s audit season so it’s close to impossible to apply for a leave.

I can’t wait for the weekend. I’d be hooking up with my family again to enjoy a day of bonding.:) Toodles!

What is the freaking wrong with you? I honestly can’t understand what your problem is anymore. I am losing my patience and I am up to the boiling point. If not only for the husband I would have told you off a long time ago. At your age, you should know better, with your education, you should have at least the sene to know what is right and what is wrong. I just wish you’d fess up, act your age lest I totally lose it and loose my respect for you altogether.

Hello! So how is everyone?

I’m doing fine except I feel really tired and stressed from work. Enough to really make me want to quit. I work nights so I don’t get to see the husband. We don’t get to spend time except during weekends. On top of that, I don’t really enjoy what I am doing anymore. Oh, what to do? what to do? I can’t just quit work because the husband and I will be moving out from his parents house early next year. I’ve been wanting that for so long and yet I don’t know how long I can take the stress.

How is everyone? Hope you’re all well. I am setting aside time to update this blog - more for my sanity than anything else.

I’ve packed my things in the office as I will be assigned to a different site come Monday. It was a bittersweet moment. I was sad because I considered “Pioneer” as my home - career wise. Eversince I started with the company I started there. The builidng was just set up and I was a “Pioneer” in that account. I was sad saying goodbye with the friends I have, the camaraderie we have, the lunches and the ‘yosi’ breaks we had.

At the same time, I am happy and excited about the new challenges I am about to face, the people I will meet and friends I will make. After all, I won’t be moving continents. I will be just minutes away.

I guess, life’s just like that and as always, I will be strong and cope. Wish me luck!
