Jason was waiting for the rv insurance quote he requested online when I chanced upon him in a popular social networking site. He was an old classmate of mine who became a town official. I didn’t get to congratulate him back when he won so I took the chance to tell him just that.

I was surprised that he was touched by my greetings. I thought he would just shrug it off, since we’re not really that close back in school. But apparently, he’s still the same Mr. Nice Guy from school days. We were able to chat some more about family life and it took us about an hour before we ended our chat.

Such a nice guy!

Donnie was approached by a beggar a couple of days ago. He won’t forget the encounter any time soon because the beggar walked away with his brand new mbt shoes. No, he didn’t steal it from him. He actually asked for some money so he could buy a pair of slippers. Donnie took pity on the man and instead of money, which he didn’t have that time, he gave him his shoes.

Donnie is a generous man and he believes that the more you give to those who are in need, the more blessings he will receive in return.

rat raceI have no other choice but to join the rat race again. With this new worry, I don’t think I can stop the inevitable from happening. Plus there are more issues in my head that will just be sorted out if I go back.

I am worried I will end up paying a loan I didn’t get. My stupidity in trusting people is unparalleled. I just trust blindly and it’s put me in trouble one time too many. I trusted the person when she told me she’s already doing something about her loan. And then I found out that she hasn’t paid in two years! I didn’t even know why the bank allowed for it to happen but it did and I was bound to suffer the consequences of that blind trust.

I’m actually afraid to return to the race. I have been out of it for the past four years now. I know my skills will always be there. I know I’ll be the same accountant as before. But just the thought of leaving my now comfort zone… of going back and not be able to control my tomorrows… of working for someone again…

I’m just scared.

It was a good thing that the exit alarm went off! Candice is a special child. She is normally not left alone, especially since they live in a low-rise building. But because her mom wasn’t feeling well that time and had to go to the bathroom for a while, Candice managed to sneak out of their door.

She went to the fire exit and well, the exit alarm went off. It was the sound that alerted her mother and a neighbor who’s about to go into the elevator. Good thing all the fire exits have alarms or else Candice might have fell down the stairs without anyone noticing.

It’s good to have many options. Our neighbor has rv loans and since he’s encountered a financial difficulty recently, he is thinking of refinancing it. It’s good that he can do so at the same company where he got his rv. But he can also avail of an offer from a dear friend of his.

Not many people have the same options as that of your neighbor. He is lucky he can choose from two. With many difficulties coming our way, we really have to be wise when it comes to our finances. And to make sure that worse comes to worst, we have options to choose from.

I feel the need for a quick weight loss diet right this very moment. I can feel myself slowly shutting down and I still have so much to do! It’s the increased rice consumption, I tell you. I have been consuming a lot of rice the past few days. And all because I am preparing myself for days without it.

A quick weight loss will not only make me shed unwanted pounds but also make me feel lighter and possibly more energized! I wish I can get my hands on one now. I wish I haven’t eaten so much rice last night. I wish, I wish…

I believe my sugar level is high. After a long time of not feeling sluggish, I am now feeling sleepy all the time! For the past few days, I lack the energy to work. I often find myself planning things to do for the day and I end up doing so little.

Sleepy

I just feel so darn sleepy all the time! Like right now…

But I can’t afford to feel this way. I can’t be sleepy and I can’t be without the energy I need to produce more work. I also can’t be like this because I am afraid it’s already diabetes! :(

I need to flush out the sugar in my system. I need to go back to my normal sugar intake. I need to cut down on my rice consumption!

I love a festive feel. Last Sunday was the feast day of the patron saint in our town. There was a procession and some activities to celebrate it. I was not able to join the grand procession because I didn’t think my legs could hold up that day. The added weight, you know.

Thank goodness for binoculars! I was able to watch the grand procession from afar. I even saw some people I know who joined it. It felt like I was there as well.

I got one of the promotional mugs a company that opened gave away. The company’s office is a block away from home and when I coincidentally visited a friend working nearby, I got curious and checked out their kiosk outside. The company was launched that day and to introduce their products to the market, they gave away mugs with the company and product information on it.

I am a sucker for mugs. Truth is, I have so many at home I can use each for a month and not have to repeat using any of the mugs I used. So the mug I got from the company launch will be added to my growing mug collection.

We all have our own way of unwinding from a week of pressure at work. Gary turns to his baccarat cigars. It just relaxes him when he smokes his cigar. It brings him to his happy place where there are no pressures for him to work even harder.

I can actually relate to Gary on this. After a week of hard work, I really make time to do something for myself, to indulge. While Gary has his cigars, I have my bath oils to soak into. It’s the thing that relaxes me the most. Plus some good background music and a good book to read.

Can’t wait for the weekend to come!

I have a big problem right now. Someone I trusted five years ago is the culprit. I tell you, when it comes to money, it’s hard to trust someone who’s not part of your immediate family. The only one I trust with it who’s not part of my family is my bestie Waffles. I see her often and she’s someone I can trust. If I have it, I can lend her millions and she’ll pay me back. With the others, I don’t think so.

My problem now is the person I trusted before will surely disappear after next week. She will leave her mountain of a problem to me. I will be the one that will be harassed by the lawyer because she might be out of reach already.

I am dreading it. I really regret that day I trusted her! I don’t know how I can be relieved of this mounting worry. I just have to pray to the Lord that a miracle will happen and she pays up asap!

I worked for a call center company here in the city. I was temporarily assigned to counter-check all purchases that were made months before I joined the company. One of the purchases I checked was the acquisition of Plantronics Headsets. You see, in a call center, headsets are an important tool in operations.

I just remembered it because I am checking Plantronics Bluetooth and Headsets right now. I need to buy a couple of it for a small client I am handling. I saw it at HeadsetHome.com and all kinds of Plantronics Headsets can be ordered through the site. You can even find one for home.

Go ahead and check out the site now for more information.

karaoke-man

Our neighbor felt the need to celebrate his birthday by turning up the volume of their karaoke, busting dance hits and then later on singing to his heart’s content. I wouldn’t have minded it especially I knew it was the person’s birthday. But he started banging out the sounds when the evening news came on! Past 6PM! Man, if that isn’t inconsiderate I don’t know what is!

The karaoke man and his drinking buddies finished their session near midnight. Thank goodness for the heavy downpour their noise was somewhat drowned out by the pattering of the rain.

No wonder I keep hearing my three younger girl cousins talk about dereon bags. It’s cute! Here are some that I saw at JimmyJazz.com…

Dereon Holler Satchel Bag Dereon Holler Crossbody Bag Dereon Purple Holler Belt Bag

I love the bags! I would like them for myself, too. My cousins are talking to each other about saving up so they can buy each of the satchel, crossbody and belt bags. I would love to get each one of the three bags myself and will be using the belt bag for when I travel.

Don is busy with cad drawing. He is an architect and he just accepted a project for a new client. Don is my cousin and just like me, he opted to work on his own as a consultant accepting freelance jobs. He’s lucky because he was able to bring over some small clients he’s handled before. And he was referred to friends and business partners of those small clients.

He is now maintaining quite a number of small to medium-sized companies. He started on his own and now he already has three staff working for him in his office and a group of workers who are always on call. Quite an achievement!

There is nothing better to give aunt Betsy but the best anti wrinkle cream there is right now. You know why? She just looks so haggard all the time! She was recently promoted at work and the added responsibility is showing on her face. I think that a couple of months more of the same kind of pressure at work and the wrinkles will start showing already. So the anti wrinkle cream is needed and now!

I am really thankful I am not working for a corporation for the past four years now. There’s just something liberating to be working for your own, being your own boss. Don’t you think? It actually makes me don’t want to ever work for someone else again if I can.

When I grow old, I pray that I have enough resources I can tap into so that I won’t be asking for help from others. There is this old woman who kept on asking for money and other things from a family. Sure, they’re related but sometimes, the family just feels like she’s just asking for too much.

When I grow old, I pray that I have my own place so that I won’t be a burden to my love ones. The old woman has a place to live in but she’s living with the families of her sons and her daughter. I know it’s hard for her to be asking for her basic needs all the time and to be living with everyone but then she didn’t prepare for her old age.

I pray that it won’t happen to me. Please.

I must admit that even though I earn way above minimum wage, I still need more. Not for luxury but more for the basic needs of the family. There will be occasional wants and desires but it will mostly go to the welfare of every one at home. But I can’t always find a part-time work. I need to have something, an investment, that will earn me money without any need on my part to invest too much time as well.

In short, I need to buy gold bullion! It will give me the return I need from an investment. Find out more about this at USGoldBureau.com now.

God is good. I don’t doubt that. I doubt the goodness of some people around me but never that. I do believe that there is a reason for every little thing that happens to us. Even the bad stroke of your pen can be a blessing in disguise. Who knows? You might be putting your signature on a fictitious contract and the bad stroke of your pen could be a signal that you are to look once again on what you’re signing on. I believe in things like that.

Lately, I’ve been besieged by lack of inspiration, of motivation to write. There are days when I could write for 12 hours straight! But these past three days were really uninspiring for me. Maybe it’s the lack of opportunities or maybe I spent so much time writing that my mind just shut down.

Today, though, upon waking up, I know there are blessings waiting for me. There was a tiny spark of doubt but I managed to crush it before I opened my pc. Lo and behold! There goes my blessings! I just saw it and I think my muse just went back by my side.

Thank YOU! ;)
