what a week it has been

yeah right.another week is over.tiring.very exhausting but a lot more fulfilling.

my week started with me visiting my university to check if ever there's any progress with regards to the upcoming commencement day.other than day,april 20th was our graduation pictorial.we were strictly advised to come in earlier than the scheduled time,which was 8am.yours truly arrived there at around 8:30,a little bit late but not really.i was under the assumption that it will be done right before we took our lunch,but it's the other way around.oh!Filipino will always be a Filipino.around 5pm,i was home.

tuesday,april 21st.i asked a very close friend of mine to inform if and only if my name was already added on the most awaited "tentative list of graduates for 2008-2009".unfortunately,there's no new post yet,and so after shift i decided to get home and do the usual eterinaries.

wednesday after shift i went immediately to school.hopeful.assuming that there's a new post.i rushed to the registrar and gladly,there was!but the thing is,my name was still not there.i waited until 4 or 5pm due to rumors that they were supposed to post new list after lunch,but they did not.i decided to check my status with the officer in the registrar assigned to our college."antayin mo lang"-she responded.i nodded but at the back of my mind,until when?i only have two days left.this coming Monday will be the release of the final list of graduates and the certificates of candidacy.paano 'to?i just then found myself seating and crying on one of the benches.i really did.just for some reasons that only few people knew and could understand.

thursday,april 23rd.the zambales escapade day.i was supposed to be at Iba,Zambales for a youth camp that we planned to participate with months ago.i filed my leave hoping that finally i'll be having a break.but the leave was never approved.and so,i stayed with my usual life while closest friends of mine left me for a while and participated on such event.i hate being alone.maybe because i am used of doing stuffs together with them or might be with their assistance.and so i was in doubt if i'll drop to school after shift due to that incident.but i have to.so after shift,on my own,i checked the list.sabi ko 'pag wala pa yung pangalan ko dun by that time,ayoko na talaga.but to my surprise,my name was already there!finally there!the long wait was finally over!and the sure thing?gagraduate ako.(=

thanks for those people na walang sawang nagpakita ng suporta sa labang ito.

i havent got enough sleep during the remaining days of this week.but the mere fact that it will be for my graduation,everything wasn't difficult for to me to accomplish.saturday afternoon,i'm finally done.

me and my friends who just got back from zambales done something unusual yesterday after school.we headed along to ROBINSON'S Pioneer to had our lunch and they let me see the smaller version of one of the books that i am really wanting to buy. this one -

you can buy me one of you want.may hardbound nito,around Php850 ata,but the smaller one cost Php 350.00 only...

going back,we had our lunch at KFC and merienda at Mcdonalds located near RTU in Boni.after that we decided to visit Ivan's resindence,ow!not decided but actually that was the original plan.the unusual thing?nagpahula ako kay Ivan.he knows how to and so i tried.the result was awful,believe me.and that was something that i regret i've done.and i am on the process of convincing myself not to believe in such.maybe,i'll be forever on process.


fortune telling known to be predicting future is one thing that i don't really have the guts to do so.siguro 'cause i don't believe in them and i don't want to believe them.curiosity and indecisiveness led me to try it for once.it just so happened that the results were not good.really not good.just to give you a glimpse,one of those stupid questions i asked was how will i die.reading the cards,he said,due to accident.and it resulted to paranoia.i tell you.and i have to get it out of my system before anything can happen.not now.

and so that was how my week ended.the coming week will be a different story...

disppointment

we had a family gathering yesterday.it was a double celebration:my lola (father side) on her 70th and baste (my pamangkin)on his 2nd birthdate.isang magarbong handaan ang ginanap,as expected.my waiters.pag nasa kanila ako,parang ang gaan gaan ng buhay.no wonder,they are all financially stable.

kanya kanyang table.kanya kanyang usapan.the good thing?i didn't isolate myself.marunong na akong makipagsocialize.i finally learned that.

the celebration was quite not that memorable.just a simple family gathering with private guests.what makes it worth remembering for me was the mere fact that i disappointed most of them.kumbaga,it can be identified as an "infamous" one.i guess.

on the conversations we had, given na ang kamustahan.i then admitted to them that i am finally working.one thing that i kept as a secret for a short time.and i just can't forget how they reacted.i guess i'll never will.my family on the father side are title motivated.believe me.they don't mind the compensation,they are more on sa "pagmamalaki."other people's impression matters to them.that matters most.i guess i can't blame them,my cousins are nurse,chemist and engineer,anong laban ko?

career wise,you can never consider call center as a blue collar job, as something that you can be proud of.
a lot of people thought of it na trabaho ng tamad, trabaho ng mga bobo,ng wala ng mapasukan.you might think of that too.and once you do,i can tell you one thing:wala kang alam sa pagiging isang call center agent.better yet shut up.we are getting high salaries in line with the pressure.but we are treated in a way you will never imagine.para kameng robot na hawak ng mga amerikano ang remote.yeah,given the fact that you are being compensated well,the nature of the work is a question.and the growth?that's next in line.

i never thought of staying on where i am working currently.but as of the moment,i need,i have to.when i was talking to "imo", my cuz who is kenneth william in real life,realizations came to my mind.i suppose you're familiar with "bebe gandang hari"... they are quite identical.and he reminded me of a lot of things.atleast for now,i finally have something written, worthy enough to be called as a "plan".

i don't want to think that i am a disppointement.'cause i know i never was and i will never be.but i am thinking how these people,yung mga taong nakasaksi sa mga pinagdaanan ko for the entire 21 years are having this feeling towards me?i know,i am nothing compared to my cousins na may mga titulong ikinakabit sa unahan ng mga pangalan nila.but do we usually base one's capablities on such?probably,that's an additional point.kumbaga sa food,enticing ka pag may titulo ka.pero not everything will follow.it will not always follow.and i know,they are pretty much aware of it.


21 years.i guess i am still young enough.marami pa akong pagdadaanan.marami pang darating na opportunities.though hindi ako kapagmalaki malaki ngayon?i know someday i will.for now i might be a disappointment in their eyes,but it wlill never stay as is.never.

HOW DEVOTED ARE WE IN THE CORPORATE WORLD?

How far are we to our goals?

I remember when I was in kindergarten, we had a school program where we declared what we want to be in the future. My classmates declared that they want to be a teacher, engineer, architect, etc. I can still remember my line, “I want to be a doctor when I grow up!” No wonder, I am a rat today. Trapped in the race. We were raised that way. We were educated to study hard, earn good grades, and find a safe and secure job with good benefits. So I studied hard, graduated Cum Laude, employed in one of the largest oil companies in the world which has benefits much better than any other companies. But the problem is, EMPLOYMENT IS RISKY. Risk is everywhere. We cannot eliminate the risks but we can reduce it. How can we reduce the risk? We have to be in control. How risky is employment? Can we decide for our career? Can we stay in the company if they are kicking us out? Are we in control? WE ARE DISPENSABLE. The reality is the company determines for how long they will need us. They can kick us out anytime whether we like it or not. And if it happens, we will lose our source of income and it will take some time before we can find another company that will employ us. What if we are not young anymore? Which company will employ us? What we have done doesn’t matter. We may get acknowledged for our contributions, but not all of us and not all of our contributions. The company will tell us that we were paid anyway. We are being paid the same amount as if we do our ordinary work routine.

Why are we staying in the company? Below are some of the reasons:
1. We think that our job is the only thing that can give us a good source of income. GOOD source of income MUST be stable. Is earned income stable? Are we working hard for this income?
2. We are not exposed to people who succeeded outside the corporate world. We know people “succeeded” in the corporate world. They are in the management positions. But are they happy? Do they have time freedom? How often they are with their family? There are some, but most are not.
3. The advice we get about situations is coming from people who are in the same field, trapped in the rat race as well. They cannot give us advice that is beyond their experiences. They advise us to be trapped in the rat race like them.
4. We were educated that being in a job is the only thing that can solve our financial needs. Most of us look for security. We work for someone else for money. We work for survival, not for the lifestyle we desire.

We are still in the rat race for some reasons:
1. We believe we don’t have a choice. It’s better to have a job than nothing at all.
2. We believe we can’t do anything. We do not have the control. The company decides for us. We do not own the company.
3. We believe we are not in the position to whinge. If we complain, we know the consequences. We might get fired.
We stay in the rat race for security. We work for someone else for money to survive. We are SLAVES, and the company and money are the MASTERS. We follow rules imposed by the company. It motivates people to work really hard for it. It decides how much salary we get. It determines if we are beneficial to it or not.
“Insanity is doing the same things over and over again but expecting different results.” – Albert Einstein
Below are some of the things possible to happen if we get out of the financial slavery:
1. We work because we choose to, not because we have to.
2. We can provide the dreams of the people we really love.
3. We can spend most of our time with the people matter to us.
4. We always have a choice.
5. We can take control of our careers and lives.
6. We don’t have to for someone else for money.
7. We are the drivers of our financial journey to success.
8. We can live through the lifestyle we desire.
9. We can grow more as a person.
10. We will have the right information and education.

“The size of your success is measured by the strength of your desire; the size of your dream; and how you handle disappointment along the way.” – Robert Kiyosaki

Sometimes, the fastest way to change and improve yourself is simply to change your environment. Being in the community of like-minded people can empower us. We will enjoy life more and more and become more meaningful.

Most people don’t act. Some have plenty of actions. But what we need is to take action and FOCUS (Follow One Course Until Successful).

“Keep your focus intact, and focus on the solution.” – Donald Trump

What shall we do?
1. Start writing down our goals 5-10 years from now that really matter to us and assess.
2. Find a mentor.
3. Be with people who are committed to transform their lives financially, emotionally, and spiritually.
4. Start reading books such as “Why We Want You To Be Rich” by Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump
5. Play the Cashflow game created by Robert Kiyosaki to learn more about money, business, and accounting in fun and easy way.


“If you want to go somewhere, it is best to find someone who has already been there.” – Robert Kiyosaki

The Bottom Line

Having fun can lead to having a romance, so don't stop the good times right now.

In Detail

Today, someone's brilliant one-liner will do more than tickle your funny bone -- it will ignite a tiny spark of attraction! Could this spark grow into a flame of passion, or even true love? Keep laughing and maybe you'll find out. Having fun can lead to having a romance, so don't stop the good times you are having -- reschedule something if you need to! Your ideal mate is much more likely to be a person who can make you smile than a person who can make you swoon.

sasama ako.gagraduate tayo.

Minsan

minsan sa may kalayaan tayo'y nagkatagpuan
may mga sariling gimik at kaya-kanyang hangad sa buhay
sa ilalim ng iisang bubong
mga sekretong ibinubulong
kahit na anong mangyari
kahit na saan ka man patungo


ngunit ngayon kay bilis maglaho ng kahapon
sana'y huwag kalimutan ang ating mga pinagsamahan
at kung sakaling gipitin ay laging iisipin
na minsan tayo ay naging
tunay na magkaibigan

minsan ay parang wala nang bukas sa buhay natin
inuman sa magdamag na para bang tayo'y mauubusan
sa ilalim ng bilog na buwan
mga tiyan nati'y walang laman
ngunit kahit na walang pera
ang bawat gabi'y anong saya

minsan ay hindi ko na alam ang nangyayari
kahit na anong gawin
lahat ng bagay ay merong hangganan
dahil ngayon tayo ay nilimot ng kahapon
di na mapipilitang buhayin ang ating pinagsamahan
ngunit kung sakaling mapadaan baka
ikaw ay aking tawagan
dahil minsan tayo ay naging
tunay na magkaibigan

*i was just kidding.i just so like this song.*
