Employed

I'm stuck in our family business. Stuck, because I still can't find a job that can pay me more than what my parents can give.

Being employed in my parents' business makes me enjoy a lot of perks. I have a flexible work schedule, although this means that I have to deal with those everyday "where-are-you text messages" 15 minutes before our office opens. I can also go on leave-of-absence with pay for as long as I have to keep my mobile phone open so I can answer office calls which comes in every quarter of an hour, and bear with "why-are-you-not-replying" messages for texts not answered within a minute.I have the power to create new office policies and the influence to implement them, but almost all policies that I made were changed by my "boss" after a month.

My mom always tells me that I will never get rich without having my own business. Yes, I believe her (I've always been a good daughter, hahaha). I, too, want to have a business of my own. But I repeat - OF MY OWN! Not something that they own. It's different, believe me.


What I am doing here at work is far way out of line from the education degree that I earned. But, as of now, I have to choose between money or career. I'm not yet blessed to have both. Why should I complain then, if I prefer to choose money, money, money!

Okay, the phone's ringing, and I have to get back to work. Ciao!

How I Met NICHOLAS SPARKS!

The Notebook, The Wedding, The Guardian, Message in a Bottle, A Walk to Remember – these are some of the books that made me cry. And who’s the great mind behind these novels? For most of you, this is a no-brainer question. Who else, but Nicholas Sparks ! I admire Nicholas! I love his writing style, and being a hopeless romantic myself, aside from being inspired by his novels, I also literally cry over his books! When I heard the news that he’s coming over for a book tour, my heart leaped! Finally, a chance to meet my idol! But, as the saying goes, life is like a roller coaster. Not everyone will have the chance to get his autograph. According to the mechanics of National Book Store , a lucky draw coupon will be given for every purchase of Nicholas’ new book, The Best of Me, but this coupon is not a guaranteed Signing Pass! NBS will also be giving the top 50 “early birds” a Signing Pass, but then, I have work, and I cannot leave the office early. I was really sad, dismayed, and dis

My First "Feast" Anniversary

April 1: Same date, exactly one year ago... I went out of my comfort zone. I stepped into the grounds of PICC... alone. I entered the Plenary Hall without even knowing any single person. I was surrounded with complete strangers. Silently, I took an empty seat at the farthest back corner slot. This "was" me... shy, dependent on people, lost, hurt, broken. Since I was desperate and had no one to run to (except for a spiritual mentor and friend), I decided to go and follow the suggestion of one of the counselors of the Light of Jesus Community, which was, to attend The Feast. "Okay," I told myself. "Let me give it a shot." Mass... it was ordinary, just the same as the ones I used to go to. Although I was in an airconditioned place and seated comfortably in a cushioned chair, there were just too many people. After the Holy Eucharist, the band started to play upbeat songs. People around me started dancing. I was speechless and too surprised! I was caught of

Dapitan Arcade

Since I'm expecting a new visitor at my flat this coming week, I decided to go to Dapitan Aracade to hunt for beautiful but affordable home decors. Thanks to my friend, Jil, for teaching me how to commute going there. From Taft Avenue, ride any jeepney or FX going to SM North or Fairview. Tell the driver to drop you off at Welcome Rotonda. FX fare from Pedro Gil Taft to Welcome Rotonda costs PhP20. From Welcome, cross the street To Burger King. Beside Burger King are jeepneys with a Mayon signage. Take the jeep and tell the driver to drop you off at Dapitan Arcade. Minimum fare P8. Since its a Sunday, and the rain suddenly poured heavily, some of the stalls were closed, including the side-street vendors. Despite this, I was able to buy these items, and the rain did not stop me from haggling with the vendors! Ceramic Balls - initially, I felt bad about this. From P50 each, only one vendor allowed to lower their price to P40. I was trying to get it for P35. I thought I failed. Bu
