life is getting exciting
I realized that if a man breathe in all his visions and exhale them as actions, everything becomes possible well maybe except doing those things in the limit of human boundaries to execute. Now that I am breathing what I thought I needed to survive, procedures must be performed admirably.
Often, people decide if they are to live their life as a dream or make it a reality but I chose both. Live your dream in reality – with this direction, you’ll appreciate life more. Once you recognize the value of it, happiness would just come.
I thought of these because of people I see walking the same path each day back at the streets and also of hearing their stories of happiness and struggles and sacrifices. Some made change, some are content, and some has nothing.
Bottomline of this awareness is that life could be lived the way you wanted it to be. Just not make it complicated. Breathe in your capacity to live and exhale life as happiness.
P.s. I posted this blog for a friend who is in the hairline of insanity and who texted me the other night that he needs someone to talk because he had hard times understanding himself. I hope he gets well.

Though time is constant, it really escapes so fast. See, it is already December and you know what is significant in this month – It’s Christmas! So before I fail to remember it thoughtI did not stop thinking about it, I want to greet you all,
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
WHAT ARE THE EXTRA-CURRICULARS?
Aside from being full-time in work and graduate school, last weekend I have a lot of activities – I call it extra-curricular.
Last Friday, I received my first official paycheck. I was very happy about the compensation though I think it is too much for the work load I have had. I hope John (teammate in the consulting department) would not able to read this (hehe).
I am planning to save the money as capital to my plans. :D
Saturday night, I and my TOSP friends went to the Embassy at high street as guests of Stephen Co. Well, we just had a party and “clean” fun there. There I learned how to choreograph my own dance with the beat. Haha. I tell you, the place after all is not exclusive as what I thought. Cool. I went home 6am the following day because we extended the party outside after 3am.
I just took a nap for 2 hours after I reach home and by 12pm, Jehzeel Laurente texted and reminded me about the 2pm Mensa IQ test challenge at Fullybooked in Boni high street. Hey, I been there few hours ago and I have not yet recovered, I texted back to him. I forgot that the exam is on that date, I then hurried and bathed. I don’t know if I was ready for the exam and if I was conditioned but then since it is a challenge then fight.
The exam was a piece of cake, it’s purely abstract and analogy but I am not confident if I’ll pass within 98% percentile. The result will be released after two weeks the date of exam. God bless.
After the exam, I met Ate Sandra, my mentor in college and a close friend from Mindanao who was here yesterday because she attended a Congress of leaders in Subic. We had the whole afternoon and night meeting also other friends from Ateneo. Mall. Snack. Play. Dinner. Mature Chat about career, love, life, and advocacy (I really love to be with them; I learnt a lot from them). Fun. Fun. Fun. And more fun.
Good thing, because Monday was holiday. Weekend is extended. Yesterday, I transferred to Cubao for the reason of accessibility of workplace and school and for less hassle and stress. Yale, Cubao would be an ideal midpoint place between Libis and Diliman.
After the transfer, I went to the mall to buy a Superbrands awardee since 2005 asahi electric fan and uratec single foam-covered bed. I bought also new tees and goodies. Hey, I am living a budgeted life; don’t think that I have more, only enough.
I also paid monthly dues; one of the disadvantages of being a professional/graduate student.
So in short, Paycheck + expenses = 0.
:D

ang dami ko ngang free time eh. sa dami ng oras hindi na nga ako makatulog. huhu. pero importante masaya tayo sa ginagawa natin.
ayo-ayo, fjordz!
una, salamat sa pagbisita sa aking mundo. welcome to the network, community rather. hehe.
yong IQ test ay para sa membership ng MENSA Philippines. cge sasabihan kita pag-nag IQ test challenge sila uli. :D
ayos!
Salamat.
good4you.
ha3 may embassy experience ka pa ha.
linear path xe ang employment.
income is liquid, it flows till it empties. unless you always fill the buckets getting ready for the possible end of the flow.
yaka yan.
-statement galing sa baon sa utang at magisa sa bahay - pumayat.
na-invite lng, sumama naman ako sa embassy para ma-experience. saya pero hindi na ako babalik doon. basta...
remember what you wanted to be as a kid, what your parents want for you or what you chose as a young adult may not coincide with what you want now. Very rarely in reality does ones career follow a linear path. There will be forks in the road and sometimes youll have to backtrack. In fact, sometimes youll make a complete U-turn.
but I agree, money or income is liquid. I recommend that each one of us must have a sponge. hehe
yes, we can.
-sabi nga ni Obama. :P
sweetest struggles got the sweetest rewards.
anway, depende pa rin sa perspective mo.
what i meant was yung flow of money sa employment type of generating income. once you get a hold of the paycheck xe, ang mapupuntahan nyan the same sa previous paycheck mo. ibig kong sabihin yung various type of expenditures like for example, electricity, water, bhouse, and other monthly bills na kailangan mong bagsakan ng pambayad galing sa wage mo.
i didn't mean the career path. hehehehe
i agree with what you said, there will always be forks in the road and we should backtrack. it's happening to me right now.
yep, i got your point. but also we can source in extra income from other means so that it will not balance with various type of expenditures thus saving.
sorry wrong argument. :P
payo lng pare if you are experiencing career backtracking or making a u-turn, make is sure that you know your direction and keep your vision.
yah, i wil surely see u in manila, i got ur no. anyway..i live somewhere in marikina so we're too close, il b home by dec 12..keep me posted bro.
