Quoting one of our Pastors on what is happiness and christian life;
"By Long suffering we learned. We are built for Pressure and Have the Power to Overcome. Thanks be to Jesus Christ. Keep a rightful spirit."
"Being the Best isn't always Good...but being GOOD is always The BEST..! Be Identified with Christ Characteristics."
"Act Naturally Express yourself in
Jesus Christ."
"Kahit Nagkakaedad na rin...need lagi na masaya ... anu mang pagsubok sa buhay....kaya natin ito...God Will Pull Us Through... Thank You Lord ! Our Smile is One of the Most Precious Asset in Life...Have the Liberty to Express your trueself in Jesus Christ... We are a Blessed People of God... so always paint a Smile on Your Face....God Bless!"
Am happy with all things happening in the past days and weeks. Issues at work are blessings for me - it produces Christian character. God displays His attributes to me by answering my prayers and spiritual needs. It also makes me happy that my other brother and I had a long conversation over the phone. I missed this brother of mine and I always keep him in prayers though we have not seen for almost three years. Am looking forward to the seeing him again.
One more thing that am happy about - am in good health now and the favor I asked from God will soon be fulfilled. :)
I noticed that all messages preached are about suffering with Christ, it must be the season of preparation for the saints on the coming squeeze season. God is bringing about things thru His words preached at the pulpit. No matter how chaotic the world can be though believers have rest in Christ. Glory to God for His grace!

Goodbye Summer, Hello Rainy Season
Summer just went by without me enjoying the season. No trips to beach or out of the country. It was all work or just rest time. That's how toxic life has become in the past few months but am getting breather now. Am gearing up for more busier time in the following months.
Well, I don't really like summer time and not a beach person. I prefer the month of November to February as the weather is just right, tolerable. But when am checking FB and I see pictures of friends enjoying out of town trips I get envious. I had availed of vacation leaves but all were spent to take a rest and take care of my health.
Rainy season won't give much trouble because I live few meters away from the office. That is the convenience of living in Eastwood, no traffic hassles and no flooding issues.
Am thinking of activities I can pursue during the rainy season. Maybe swimming? Am doing good in learning riding the bike. Am happy with my achievement, swimming is really next in my list.
And then next would be continuing my guitar lesson when I move in to a new flat and am my own. I look forward to that day!
Oh yeah, I had an out of town trip during summer I just remember now. We had a team building at Norzagaray, Bulacan. Below are some snaps taken during the event.

Work is what occupies my almost entire adult life right after college graduation. I got into tedious and low paying jobs but I gave my best as am not just motivated by money. I am happy seeing results - this is what motivates me.
From working in mass media, I decided to shift careers by going into Business Process Outsourcing or BPO industry. When I first applied in an a company in Clark that offers document management services, I didn't knew what I was entering into. My intent was just to get a new job as the pay am getting in media will not sustain me. I got hired as Web Analyst and I got hooked into HTML and creating websites. I later shifted to Litigation support, analyzing documents and indexing them. I stayed in the company for five years until I throw in the towel because I don't see professional development and career growth.
I tried going back to media but I later changed my mind because I am done with doing field work. I became accustomed to staying in office for nine hours and sitting infront of the computer. Call centers were "in" then and so I applied although I thought that I will only work for a year or two in that company. That two years became four years. Learned a lot and tested my health as well. I never knew I can do night shift for four years!
I took a hiatus from working in 1-800 and went to Singapore and Dubai. I joined BPO again but this time not a sales, customer service or technical support account, am working in a back office account. My new company is way better in terms of career growth and professional development. However, for some reason I find myself these days de-motivated to work. It has something to do with people I work with but I chose not to voice out my reasons anymore as one person believes he is always right. My motivation does not come from other people but I get demotivated with this person because I feel there is unfairness in the way he deals with me. However, I seek the higher purpose of why I work so I am not going to quit, will continue working and just leave it to God what He wants for me.
When we do our daily tasks and responsibilities not just in church, we also serve God. I may not be part of the Sunday choir or weekly cleaners but I do believe that by working am doing a service to God. I pay my tithes and I give my offering to church. Where does the money come from? From my company salary. I serve God by showing the life of a Christian wherever I am - home, office, mall etc.

A look into my week
What's my weekend like? Very quiet and no socialization at all. I went to sleep at around 10:30 in the morning of Saturday without popping a pill to make me sleep (a big triumph for me by the way those who knew my sleeping problem) and woke up at one in the morning of Sunday. Wohoo!
When I woke up, I did my laundry, cleaned the kitchen and the bathroom. I finished doing all these routine weekend chores at three in the morning. I tried going back to sleep but unable to do so and I decided not to go back to the province anymore.
Sleeping muse made me sleep at around 3am and woke at 7:30 in the evening. I went to the supermarket and bought my weekly food and other stuff. Tired of cooking, I just ordered shabu shabu and ate at home. Tried also the new Mexican resto and bought a juice green tea. It was a refreshing drink, I must say.
After dinner, I started to do some work. Sent weekly report and did some web surfing.
On another note, I just finished my medication for my headache and sore throat on Sunday. The tablets am taking now is down from four to two. Am just so happy that I finished taking those two tablets.
Monday morning I took out my running shoes and jog around the Eastwoood mall park.
That's how my weekend goes.... I want to explore places outside of Eastwood City.
