It's greener over this side..

If there is such a thing as a “work birthday”, I’ll be turning one next month. It’s been that long already since I was introduced to the REAL real world. I’m still not sure which one is better or should I say worst, school or work. I still can’t decide on that one yet. Work would probably be better than school if only I wasn’t as clueless as I am now with my career. One minute I want to be in the corporate world. Next minute I want to be an entrepreneur. Who knows maybe next week I’d want to be a zookeeper or something?! Layo ata nun…Hehe

I used to want to study abroad. And since the plan didn’t materialize, I now want to work abroad instead. And with the current situation in the country, there are a lot of people who have the same plan as I do. More opportunities for a better life they say. We always think “it’s greener on the other side”. But thinking about it now, I don’t think I’d still find satisfaction or peace of mind even if I go abroad. I’m most definitely sure when I do get to my destination or wherever, it’ll be another “it’s greener on the other side” episode again.

I should just be grateful for what I have now. If I let myself be ruled by this kind of mentality then I will never be truly happy. It isn't that bad anyway. It’s actually more than, greater than, to the highest nth exponential okay. It’s all a matter of perspective really. Why go to the other side of the fence when I can actually fix my side and make it better? And who says it’s greener on the other side when I’ve thicker and greener grass on my side? I’ll even plant flowers on it just so it’ll not only be greener but more colorful as well. Happiness is not found in things or in places; that kind of happiness is usually of the fleeting kind. It'll last only as long as it takes to have another mid-year or end-of-season sale. That fast! Happiness is a personal choice. I don’t have to postpone it. I can be happy if I choose and want to be happy wherever, whenever, and whatever the circumstances may be.

No Title in Particular

The phones are finally working and DSL is up again. If I only knew that threatening PLDT was the solution to have our phone lines up and running again, I would have done so earlier on. For more than a month now, we’ve been continuously following up on PLDT. They keep on saying they’re already at it but without any progress. And it took only one call...just one call! We told PLDT to just disconnect everything. Discontinue the service! We won't pay! Who wants to pay for a service that sucks right? They said to give them three days. I didn’t know what they pulled out of their sleeve. Whatever it is, it worked. So now you know what to do if in the future your phones don't work. Give PLDT an ultimatum! ;)

Hello Garci?

The rallies in Makati are not doing us any good at all. They say today’s rally was the biggest so far. There’s another one coming this July 25. I really don’t think GMA would give in that easily. For one, the rallies lack support from the middle class which I think holds the strongest voice. Unlike Edsa 2, the recent rallies are nothing but hordes of people you know were just paid to be there. Second, there’s no other successor who is suitable enough to become president. Not that I’m in favor of GMA, it’s just that who else would be a better replacement? None. So I’d rather stick it out with the current president than have a new one in place who barely knows a thing about running the country. Whatever the outcome will be—impeachment or no impeachment, I just hope they get it done and over with. The economy is taking a hard beating from all these political brouhahas. The peso is of no value anymore and it continues to devaluate each day as the political situation worsens. I don’t want to come to a point that I would want to get out and live in another country. My friends who are now in other parts of the world are having doubts already of coming back. I don’t blame them, there’s nothing to come back to anyway. But I’m still going to be optimistic about it. For whatever good is left of it, I still love the Philippines. And I will not leave. As if naman din I have the means. Hehe

Horosccope for the Day

This is what my horoscope says, "Try not to be so serious and intense today, dear Scorpio. Walk with a lighter step and don't feel like you always need to be in control of every single thing you come in contact with. Take more of a go-with-the-flow attitude and you will be in exactly the place you need to be. Extreme actions will lead to extreme consequences, and there is no need for that sort of behavior."

How apt and so true. It's right on target.
