My Blog

Wow, it’s been almost a year since I last wrote here.  Seems to me that this year was quite hectic that I can’t find the time to even post my holiday greetings. Oh well, the new year has set in and I am still in a frenzy as to how to start the year right.  When I recently got my well-deserved Starbucks planner (with spending only a few hundred pesos by asking friends to fill up my coupon, hehehe), I decided to log in a few of my resolutions for the year and hopefully get to fulfill them not only this year but for the rest of my pathetic but relatively meaningful life. 

1. Be thankful…always!  I’m not exactly known to be a whiner but I feel that there are certain "luxuries" that I deserve.  But nevertheless, when I see other people’s miseries, just like the recent Bicol tragedy, I feel so blessed to live in the city with family and friends still intact.  Now, whenever I feel down, I just look up in the sky and talk to God to take away whatever pain I’m feeling.  And guess what?  It really does work.

2. Shut up when you have nothing nice to say.  Backstabbing is a common menial crime of some, I included. The newbies in the gym, the office heartthrob, the newly-promoted officer, we all have things to say about other people and they are not exactly nice words.  I have vowed that whatever achievement other people have, I will be truly happy for them and pray that somehow, someday, I will be as successful as them.

3. Be content but never stop dreaming.  I am not rich.  Unfortunately, the riches that should’ve been bestowed on us by our grandparents went up in flames many years ago during the war. I am not a manager, instead, I manage accounts ranging from very small companies to enterprises.  I am not drop-dead gorgeous.  Heck, I don’t even comb my hair.  But I have learned that whatever you have is the result of what you really want.  I may not be filthy rich, but I sure am rich with friends who love me.  I may not be a manager, but I am definitely spared of the stress that come with the position.  I am not beauty queen material but who says you have to be a beauty queen to be beautiful. I have been known to turn a few heads once in a while.  I just wish that one day, I can just sit comfortably in my own house in the province, sipping my kapeng barako and just while the time away.  Simple indulgences are the only things I aspire for and I know I can achieve them soon.

3. Be the best in whatever you do.  Whatever it is that I do, whether doing proposals, learning a new aero step or just talking to clients, I will make sure that I give my 100% best.

4. Share your blessings.  Since I don’t want to put my singing talent to waste, I have vowed to share my little God-given talent to others. Spreading joy and cheer all year round by singing will not hurt, I suppose.  A few jitters during the first few seconds of a performance would be okay.  The smiles of happy and contented faces will surely compensate for the jitters I will experience.

5. Save for the rainy days.  No more unnecessary shopping for me.  I have to admit that I have been splurging my monthly budget on sports outfits that I rarely use.  Budgeting would definitely be part of my monthly tasks everytime I get my pay.

Oh well, these are just some of the resolutions I came up with.  To sum it up, I will try to be a better person this year, and stick to it, no matter what.  Aside from getting fit and losing all the flabs, beign a beautiful person inside and out should always be a priority in every person’s resolution list. Oh, nd yes, I will try to blog my thoughts at least every week.  I just got 2 notebooks this year and I believe this is a sign for me to write in more often.

Happy New Year, folks!
