Plow Forward!





I have to admit, ever since I've started carpooling with friends to work, and with the emergence of Grab and Uber, I've never taken a different alternative to work unless I had to go there when I DIDN'T have work. I've always taken a cab, or I book an Uber.

And ever since I almost lost my job, it has finally sunk in just how much effyort I actually need to put in order to keep my job.

Therefore, I'm goal setting this month.

This should attack some things I've been aiming for.

For starters, I have one job, and one job alone. "Stay Awake". That's it. I just gotta STAY AWAKE. Sounds easy, no?

Actually I realized that you cannot just STAY AWAKE especially since the job requires not to do anything else other than listen and repeat everything you hear. While staring into nothingness. Can't read nothing, can't talk to no one because carrying a conversation can become useless. Unless it's a conversation that you don't have to focus much on, or give too much emotional attention to. All you gotta do is focus on yourself.

How do I achieve this? I made a sleep schedule to ensure that o get the 6-7 hours of necessary sleep in order for me to function properly. I've pulled it off for a month. Now I just gotta pull it off for another month. One month at a time, one day a month. And staying up has already given me benefits. I've got two monits this month that are passing (thank you God). So I just need to keep it up. After all everyone whose getting a passing score is almost doing exactly that. Staying awake.

Leaving early allows me to
1. Go to the gym
- Thereby helping get back into shape
2. Save money
- So I have a lot of time for commute and I won't even have to worry about how I look or smell since I'll be taking a shower at work anyway.

Commuting by jeep will help me save money period. And get back into the reality of things.

I'm afraid I'm taking one step at a time and not doing it altogether. But what's important is I'm doing it, period! And I'm taking steps. I'll get there. ;-)

The Real Challenges in Life

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Cynthia Maipid < cmaipid@gmail.com > Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2012 18:30:33 +0800 Subject: The Real Challenges in Life To: cmaipi.ondgo@blogspot.com I learned in a retreat that I attended that the Christian Life is not a life of fun and games. It is not a bed of roses. It is a battlefield. Man, is that ever true. This I know. I am currently encountering several battles. The biggest right now is my husband. My husband is Christian. He is what you call a backslider. See, I'm Catholic. I don't know what approach to take in helping get back to God. But I was told that prayers work wonders. I haven't been praying properly, I admit. And now is the time that I must learn to do that. I am afraid of that the time will come that my husband and my daughters will not be saved. And so I need to pray for them. I vowed to attend church every sunday and even that is becoming a struggle. I must think of a new way to fix my schedule in such a way ...

Talk About a Million Stress

It's so tiring what they're doing to us. The company offered to let most of the agents go on the promise of paying them a voluntary retirement package.  That's all nice for the agents because whether they take it or not, they will still receive it when the company says they can go. But for the team leads, it's a different story. To begin with, only 8 team leads can avail of the package.  Anyone else who wants to go can go by resigning.  It's so painful because they dropped the bomb on us by saying that whoever wants to avail of the package may avail of the package, and they're not going to limit it just because we've gone over the required number of people. The next day, they tell us, no we can't let everyone go. We can only afford to make 8 stay.  Well, right now, I'm the eighth. And the more painful part? Someone who needs it more than I do ( i need it, too, and she needs it just as much, if not more)  won't be able to get it. Tal...

Because I Can

Well, yes, I'm not blogging because I have something to say, actually I'm just blogging because I can do so. Anyway, I got up today pretty hungry. Considering we had lunch at Tramway. The food was awesome, but I was able to have only 2 courses. Next time I go, I'm going to make sure I get a dose of everything! Oh, and I'll be wearing a big shirt! You know, for emergency purposes. I'm still pretty sleepy right now but Tyrese woke me up, saying that she was hungry. So I had to go and cook some rice. Which by the way I realized that she did not wake me up for food originally. She woke me up because she pooped. well, i'm just waiting for the rice to cook so I can eat cause I'm hungry, too.
