CONTRIBUTION UPDATE

I have been planning lately on updating my share contributions with social security system and Pag-ibig mutual fund to check and verify if all those deductions I am seeing in my payslip every time were then reflected accurately. And so, if not. At least I would be informed right away and have ample time to do the necessary process to take. 

After hearing some members complaints encountered with regard to contributions they have remitted, and learned how tedious it is to track down. I decided to monitor my contribution update from time to time. It may sound a waste of time to some but I believe it is not just remitting your contribution, it is also about being responsible and aware of the ins and outs of your hard earned money that is compulsory deducted from our salary.  After all, I do not like to hassle myself for such miscommunication, so if I can act now that would be better.

PRODUCTIVE DAY

Having enough rest and sleeping on time is indeed rewarding. I took advantage of the weekend by sleeping all day yesterday. Wake up only in between meals and went back to bed to continue my beauty rest. This morning, when get up I was refresh and in tune to clean my room early and attend the first mass. With that I came home early and was able to rest for a couple of hours.

I even cook dinner when I came from the grocery store to buy some food and personal stuff. Love the way I manage my time today, see I am updating my post here as well.

TIME CONSCIOUS

When doing work tasks and deadline is a factor, Time seems to be so important and yet it seems to run fast that you chase for it. You become conscious with time, and overtime is ally. Just like now, I tend to forget the word procrastination as I the time will soon lapse. Need to pass the report before I go home, at the same time I have to run the test which our MIS told as to do. 

Not every day I tend to race with time, as there are times that I also observed that it moves so slowly and those are the days that work load is light, where we use our time browsing all day long and wait for our official log off time. It bores me to big time when we do not have work to do, however challenges me when our load is overwhelming. There, you go I hope I do not sound ranting again. Lol.

THE EXTRAVAGANT AND THRIFTY

Merriam dictionary defines Thrifty as frugal, given to or marked by economy and good management. And Extravagant as lacking restraint in spending money or using resources , and costing too much. I came consulting Mr Dictionary as I am torn between two definition. 

A heard so much about payroll humor that most of the time makes me laugh and smile. You know the feeling that the joke was meant to you? . I will not go further of my observation within the circle I belong. Where  the hard earn money seemed to slipped away in no time,because we spend more with those wants rather than those necessity. Come a week before the pay-out , everyone seems to become economically conscious. So from fancy restaurant to food cart, its a usual scene in many groups. 

At times, humbling us is effective to come up with good management, being responsible and having a sense of responsibility of taking seriously with our hard earned money. Your views and perspective changes for the better. But I do not wish the humbling part to come my way before I realize that I am already spending poorly today and jeopardize my future. So let God take control of my resources and give me wisdom.

KEEPING ITS WORK

At some point in time no matter how careful we are in doing our responsibility with passion, we still get some negative feedback from people in our group. But what is good is that when  we are counseled to ignore the words from detractors  by our friends and mentors for it  will not make us feel better if we are going to let those accusation consume us. And Instead of dwelling with those critics why not give them a show, which will turn their words against them. 

As the saying goes, no one can put a good man down, I must agree. For people will always have their piece to say whether you do it right and you do it wrong. As long as we are doing the right thing and where not breaking the rules, even if no one seems to recognize still do not be discourage. God rewards ten times better than what our masters can give here on Earth.

OF BEING PRODUCTIVE

I had once reminded of the local television segment where at the end of her show, she quoted a line to sum up the show and it says " To work is hard, but to have not work is more harder" . That moment I was on my way of making list of to do's when I get to enjoy my grand vacation when my official work ends. My friend who was with me that time, laugh harder at me and repeated the line which the news anchor of the show left. 

After awhile I paused and begun weighing things again and again. And the verdict, I took the line seriously. Practically speaking if its pays the bills and gives me extra dough then why so bothered with the feeling confusing me.So the next morning, I was heading work and restructuring my mindset of how I will make myself productive instead of consuming my hours on unproductive stuff.

THE NEED TO STUDY

Tomorrow will be a first day for me of a brand new experience, The mentoring of a lady that has decided to accept God and is open to be ministered with the good news of salvation. This is a brand new experience for me because she is the very first person I will be personally guiding to study more of God's grace and mercy to those  that accept Him. I am excited and at the same time nervous. Excited because I am going to share about Jesus and nervous because I have not yet met the person. But I pray that all those negative spirit that might try to hinder me from doing my purpose tomorrow be cast out forever.

THE HARDEST TO DECIDE

It is true with me that in every action there truly is reaction. Like if I do not go to work, I get to enjoy the day at home doing nothing but sleep all day long, on the other hand the effect of doing that is that,  work may piled up, unproductive day. Who can resist the cold breeze in the morning, inviting me to just relax and keep my body attached with my bed, it's what makes me hard to decide. 

Before, it is during Monday that I like least. The beginning of work week, for me it is always a long day,I do not know why I see it that way. I hope I am not the only person who wishes that Monday be holiday always, haha. It's not that I am not a good worker , it's just that I feel like weekend is too short and so quick to pass. It might be, for some they do not want to have a long weekend and I respect that as we all have our own reasons why. And whatever is that at the end of the day we are responsible with our pampered habits and its consequences so be it.

YOGA TIME

Mother called this morning, to remind me of her gift listing that needs to be delivered on time to her, so she can wrapped it all as early ,Now  here for thera band exercise bands to test if this is truly one of its best. I do not know yet  the effect of said band but I hope it will tone up my inner being , mental competitiveness and health status. Glad that I learned about keeping such activity on my list to fight all stress awaiting to devour my only hope.

FINE AND SILENT

Had you once encounter where you are at a gathering then suddenly an acquaintance approach you to start up a conversation , that ends up making you uncomfortable with the question asked at you? Hmm, I had a few. Some questions are manageable but some are not and I think inappropriate to  ask. But what to do? there are people of insensitive skin that they cannot start up a good conversation so became like a nosy men who tries to fish out some personal information, without considering that the person they are throwing the question ,wish to blew them off in front of them and be with other cold people instead. 

When I encountered people like that in a party, I tend to reply them with humor and sometimes a sarcasm when it is necessary to do so. I guess, it's life's humor , but anyway nowadays, I seldom encounter them, good for me.

AWAY FROM NEGATIVE FEELINGS

Everyday before going out of my place I always hope of good and positive vibes outside. Though I know things are unpredictable outside my comfort zone,the only way to avoid such disappointment is to remind myself of the imperfection of this world. That not everyone has the same values as others, when confronted in an awkward situation the effective way that I did base on my experience is lowering yourself and not fighting back, humility is still a virtue.

But of course you cannot always avoid such annoyance everyday, as it could happen everywhere. In your way to work, at your workplace, at home, and from different agency and people , client we encounter daily.Honestly speaking, I could not recall anymore how many times I lose temper on the hassle, my phone service provider has caused me, I screamed, freak out ,raised voice and question their quality of service through customer representative, but at the end of the conversation  I felt loser as I let myself be consumed by my feelings, because I wanted to get the service I believe I deserve.Not a  great move, so changing my way of relying my message of disappointment in a cool and calm way was better than nagging. Life is more peaceful and wonderful after all those realization. Nobody is perfect, as they say but realization and teaching yourself to be responsible enough on dealing with our own emotion could lead stress away. 

RANDOM THOUGHT

What I am am to these days? I myself also do not know,scary Isn't it.I guess it is one of my many reason why suddenly I slow down with my hobbies and passion. After my long vacation I am up for some thing again. So let's see what is going to happen with my new found career. 

I am hungry now but lazy to prepare food and also it is already late night, so I am not going to the kitchen to feed my tummy. While typing right now I do not know what to write exactly, all I know is that I am multi- tasking, watching my favorite show and updating my page. Earlier my plan was to post personal update and blog hop, but maybe I can't focus on writing as my eyes also is enjoying the show.Tomorrow, I am obligated  to wake up early and go to work and attend our weekly morning devotion where everyone in our department is expected to join.In short its a mandatory activity. Am I complaining' no,just sharing my update.

GOOD NEWS IN GOD'S TIME

Just as I am about to re charge my phone , when I saw my cell phone remind me of my callers name. I know it was my Late landlords partner whom I heard is the new manager for the apartment I am occupying. She informed me that even without Mang Danny, she will continue to use the number of the phone. She was more open and professional now and friendly to talk, unlike my first year of stay here, I guess this is what they say that, everyone changes for good and I am happy that she was now a change one. She also acknowledge my on time payment which I take as a compliment though in reality I am just doing my responsibility as their tenant. Here now is the good part, when I ask if its possible that they increase my rent every other year , she agree and was very much accommodating, Thank God, It was a big relief on my part and to my sister as well. I have been praying for that for years now, and truly God heard my prayer, amazing.

BACK TO ITS USUAL ROUTINE

My one month vacation is now over, Tomorrow I am expected to report to work and start my usual daily routine. I am not sure if I am now ready to go back to work but as I am assessing myself earlier I felt sad because my approved vacation ends tonight. Will I be extending my rest? I guess so. I would love to report this week but not on Monday. I know I have pending works waiting to be pick up, I am not abandoning the responsibilities, it's just that.. two more days, please. After that, I will be okay and would accomplish all my tasks when I return to workplace. Oh and tomorrow the result on our board examination will be out, and yes I am excited to see the list of passers.

QUALITY TIME FOR MOMMA MIA

My Aunt and I has planned of visiting her sister and my mother  today to spend some quality time with them, unfortunately I got a call from a colleague reminding me of our appointment today, where we agreed to meet later tonight. So to cut the story, I cancelled the visiting time for my momma mia and re schedule it instead. I could sense the sadness in my mom's voice but I told her we can have it in some other time, so not to worry. We only delay our bonding for few days but will make it a point next time no event can cancel our house visitation.  Love you mama.

HAVE A HAPPY TRIP SIR

I learned the other day that my Lanlord passed away this Monday, and this morning we visited his wake to personally show our condolence. When I was at the place his wife accommodate us and give us enlightenment of my Landlords death. She also shared their happy moments and  good story together , while on that state I cannot help myself remembering the times my Lanlord was hard to communicate and because I knew him for that, I seldom talk to him. 

But today, I learned how jolly and friendly he was. How he took care of his family and the Barangay he was serving. He was a Barangay Chairman in their district.Hearing the story of his wife I felt a guilt for taking him negatively. But you can't blame me, I did not  had the chance to knew him better. Never mind if I misunderstood you at times, forgive me for that. I hope you rest in peace.Thank you Sir.

PROCRASTINATING QUEEN

Since yesterday I could not decide on what to do when the truth is, I have so many things to do. The lessons that I have to re visit as the actual examination is approaching fast. Work inside my room, pending tasks and more.But again, I am better off of them and again, I swamped myself in my bed and woke up late. Now, I think am a queen of none. As I am only good at starting, planning but come acting on it , I lost the drive along the way. Did I really lost myself, or am I just lazy in nature.

I keep on ranting and rambling, yet I lack in self discipline.I know what to, but I keep on delaying things ahead of me. I wonder not, when my rank drop from 4 to 2, because of this attitude. Again and again what to do,drop that laziness , Yen,. keep working and be responsible enough.Or else you'll end up waking up one day counting nothing. That's the exact word my friend told me when she learn of my current mode. Wheew..

MENTAL BLOCK WRITING

Some people are born talented and is bagged with creativity, they can deliver on the spot output for a particular requirement. They do not need so much pressure and other tricks to see their gift. And as far as I know their kind is few.  I am not a writer but I can write on my own way, but as they say; Anyone can be a writer but not everyone can write. True, with my experience , most of the time I found myself staring blankly when I start a sentence that would connect me. :)

 I admit I am not good in writing, but I hope one day I can compose a good  article that I will be proud of myself  and could perfectly say that, " Alas,  I did it after countless of trying.yey!  

UNDECIDED TO WHAT IT MEANS

If it's not meant to be, then let go and live a life. To some this is so easy to say specially for those who have not experience such scenario in life. To some who are aware of the fact but are not yet ready to accept the process, they tend to pretend and just live under their own world of compromise. While to some realistic people who are desperate to live a life without any pretension, absorbing the fact ,after  weighing the gravity of happiness , lies, satisfaction , hurts, brokenness and losses. They manage to break free and be smart enough to start a peaceful life.  Why was I talking about these? my answer is that, I wanted to describe the different people of different personality that I am privilege to meet.I will try.

The other one, that I used to know along time ago has his own story to tell. A complicated one. The other one has also her own piece to share, same as the third one. What they have in common is that, they all both have a complicated stories which makes their feelings to be trap. These people are smart and successful in their careers but somehow the two of them cannot get out of their self made trap and are even willing to live under compromise.But what's puzzling me is that behind those compromise  I could see these three people seems to live a happy life, but though they seemed to be happy. I do not know now how deep is that and how long it will last. Now I am pondering what is really meant to live a happy life, Is it about satisfying your self , choosing to be happy amidst complicated status, or is it about acceptance.. acceptance that life is not fair to all ,or is it one of the  mysteries of  life.hmmm..

AT TIMES CONFUSING

I am not sure where to start my ranting but anyway I will let my memory do the inventory. I do not know if some people are experiencing also at times the kind of shifting of minds. Those  abrupt changes and drives  towards things , goals , desires, plans and etc. The moment that suddenly you've been struck or hit by something that you cannot explain yourself. When you have planned it for almost half a year already , decided to pursue for that  thing that your dreaming of, then one night out of nothing you came to realize, Am I doing these for a greater cause? or Am I just bored which is  why I needed something to occupy my free time in order for me to feel valuable. Oh God, Do I really need that laminated plastic of identity? its confusing me these past few days.

At times I wanted to stop studying and pushing myself for it, but I do not know why I can't give it up that easily, yet at the back of my mind there are scenes that is crippling my drive to accelerate. I need some faith that comes from within me, but how? if subconsciously I am entertaining those hindrances reaching my mind. My friend says , Pray that you may get wisdom from above. And I say amen and I hope I can stand still.
