My sister finished a Management course in college. When she was applying for a job already, there were only sales jobs being offered to her. A sales job is great but she’s a bit timid unless she knows you for quite some time already. So it’s not a job for her.
Since she’s always wanted to teach pre-school kids, when after a year of searching for a job she could really take on, she opted to enroll and take up teaching. She got enough units for her to take up the LET and while waiting for the results, she began teaching special children. It’s been a year now since she passed the board exams and she just might be teaching pre-school kids this coming school year.
A number of my mom’s cousins are into the arts. Engineers, architects, fine arts major, and so on. They all know how to do cad drawing and measure lines and what-nots. Meanwhile, my mom took up Economics and was a housewife for the rest of her short life.
I just feel like there were times when they looked down on my mom for not being a professional. Or maybe it’s just me. Maybe it’s because I don’t like some of my mom’s relatives and I tend to see them in a negative light.
I need some time alone. Away from the family. Away from home. Even for the weekend. Even for a day. I just need to empty my mind and my heart from too many worries related to them.
But ever the paranoid me, I feel like I might worry more when I leave them all behind. Yes, even for a day.
My dad’s friend is using a hair growth shampoo. He is suffering from hair loss so to make sure he won’t lose all his hair, he is taking steps in solving his problem. This is the same friend who is experiencing problems with his business. According to my dad, it might be the culprit behind his hair loss. Stress.
The man hardly ever smiles anymore. His two sons spend money like there’s no tomorrow and don’t even help their dad in their business. His wife is the timid kind who can’t discipline her kids. I guess my dad’s right about his assessment. His friend is losing his hair because of problems with his family and business.
I will undergo detoxification next week. Nothing major. I was able to catch an episode of a local medical show and I want to try the detox method and product they featured. It was also said that it’s like a quick trim, targeting the tummy area first before other problematic areas of the body.
I have been overweight most of my life. I had no problems about it until last year when I started feeling tired and drowsy all the time. I know that my weight is starting to affect my health, thus, this quest to a slimmer me.
I wish there’s a blackhead extractor wherein with just one wipe of the face, all my blackheads would be removed. Alas, I don’t think it’s invented yet.
I love having facials. But I don’t like the process of having my blackheads removed. It’s painful, especially on the sides of the nose. Over the years, I have become less and less tolerable of even the littlest pain. When I was younger, I could tolerate so much. I guess getting old is like this.
My bestfriend is taking up Law and is in his last year before embarking on a review for the LSAT. This coming break, he is thinking of enrolling in av LSAT prep course. He wants to get as much help as he can to ensure that he is on the right track. Taking up Law is not an easy task. Especially since my best friend is working as well. I actually admire him for his dedication in work while at the same time doing well in his studies.
I hope I can juggle two jobs this year. I am also good at multi tasking, probably better than my best friend. But unlike him, I am now more focused on one single thing and can’t take in another one unless I am sure I will be successful in my current focus.
Money comes and goes. Most of the time, it stays with me for only a very short period of time. I live from hand to mouth. I always try to save up but something comes up and I had no choice but to use what little savings I have.
I would like to change that this year. But so far, I’ve had three paychecks that came in and I haven’t saved anything from it. It’s so hard especially when you are supporting a large family. Plus, there are days when I feel like indulging.
I need to save up! I don’t like living in fear that when an emergency happens, I don’t have savings that I can tap on. Sigh.
How I’d love to go on a vacation right now. I believe panama city sounds very promising to me at the moment. I want to go to the beach and soak in the sun and listen to the waves crashing to the shore.
Or just simply reading a good book and sipping a glass of fresh fruit shake.
I am dreaming wide awake while writing this down. I can already feel the warm wind near the shore. Sigh…
We normally get communion invitations on the third or last week of November. Locally, First Communions are celebrated on the first week of December. I am not sure if this is the practice elsewhere but here, that’s how we do things.
I remember the first time I tasted the wine. I showed my tongue to an older relative and I got reprimanded for it. I can never forget the look my older relative gave me. It was sacrilegious to be showing the host to others when it’s already inside your mouth. Well, I learned my lesson the hard way, ain’t it?
So whenever I see invitations for holy communions, I remember that day I got the look and was reprimanded.
My sister is working even at home. She is currently checking for promotional products for their summer campaign launch.
Back in 2006, my sister took a one year break from work. It did her so much good and she came back refreshed and ready to take on the world. When you see her now, she’s looking haggard again and stressed out. I am overprotective when it comes to my siblings. If I can shield them from the harsh realities of life, I’d do it. If I can carry the burden for them, I won’t think twice about carrying it for them. I know it’s not right sometimes because how else can they learn if I keep doing things for them. But you cannot blame me for feeling this way most of the time. I have been standing in as their mom for years, especially when my mom started getting sick. The mother hen in me comes out whenever I see something concerns them.
