Intuition

Work had been fun lately. I am learning so much. Every day is like a new day for me - exciting, filled with learning opportunities. I am so happy with the choices I've made and I also learned one very important lesson - trust my guts.

Being the empirical person that I am trusting my instincts would be the last of considerations when making a decision. I trust facts, numbers, and data more than I trust my guts. But lately, there are just things that I do out of sheer intuition that proved to be very effective.

And they say women have better intuitive skills than men and I have been neglecting mine for a very long time.

Today's lesson: Be the woman that I am.

My New Kids

Meet my new kids. Funny how effortless it was for me to call them anak, and them to call me mommy.

Together Again

I just want to share how happy I am that Duks and I were finally able to resolve our differences and began to understand our perspectives... and yes, we're back together!

Thanks all for the supportive comments and for my friends who has held me through the phase.

Breaking Up

Telling yourself that it is over, I found out, is just a fraction of the step needed to move on. Accepting it and all that comes with the break up is the most painful and hardest to face - especially when you have grown accustomed to having that person in your life.

It wasn't easy. I don't think it will ever be.

What Makes You Happy

I had - what I may say - one of the most rewarding conversations I've had with my former supervisor.

I am curently at a point where I feel no satisfaction with my job. I am just doing it for the money it gives every pay day. I find no personal fulfillment, happiness, contentment whatsoever. I know that it is a very pathetic state to be into more specially that my job entails motivating people to perform. The irony of it all!


I was looking for options and trying to find another job hoping that I would be able to bring back the motivation back to my now exhausted motivational level. And again, my eyes are welling because I remember my agents back in Baguio. I remebered how caring and thoughtful they were, and how we have practically spent our days laughing at ourselves or sharing stories about our own lives. To say that we have a harmonious relationship is an understatement. We have formed friendships. And to date they are still the epitome of a team for me.

But then I could drown myslef with nostalgia and everything will still stay the same. I am still bound to face the situation I have. And yes, I have tried more than once, in fact I try each day I go to work to find one thing or anything that could make me make to love it like I used to but each day, I go home tired - not from work but because I was there but not for the right reasons.


So there I was one pretty ordinary morning, blankly staring at the monitor and trying to find a job online when I noticed that my former supervisor was online from my instant messenger. We had a small talk and I told her that I do not feel happy with my work anymore and am considering to find another job. She told me: "You are still young. Find what makes you happy." And there I was dumbfounded as if I have just won a million dollars and still cannot believe that I won. Yes, I am still young and I should find what my happiness is, and where my heart lies.

To cut the story, I got out of that company and now am very happy and content with my new one. Yes, there were the usual bumps and turns but I am happy with the people that I work with. I feel open with them and feel that they can accept me for who and what I am and I guess that is one of the most important components that makes working fun.
