I Am A Teenager At Heart

Pausing for another break, I took another online quiz. This time it's about "What Age Do You Act?". I know I am childish oftentimes and always not acting my age. My mom would always complain about it . But what can I do? I am young at heart... By the way, here's the result...and it's true.... You Act Like You Are 19 Years Old You are a teenager at heart. You don't quite feel like a grown up yet, but you don't feel like a kid. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. You're quite rebellious, and you don't like being told what to do. You like to do things your way. You have your own unique style, taste in music, and outlook on life. What Age Do You Act?

My Job Dissatisfaction Level - Just For Fun

Out of the blue, I just typed in the following keywords in the Google search tab: "when to quit a job". Looking on the search results, one item woke my curiosity. It's an online quiz that helps you decide if you should quit your job. I took the quiz and I was not that surprised with the results. Honestly, I know this would come along especially with what happened in the past weeks. It really made me laugh...ha!ha!ha!

The Essence of Christmas

It's seven days before Christmas! We are all busy for the biggest celebration of the year. Christmas trees, colorful lights, boxes of presents, bulk of grocery items for the Christmas feast or noche buena. We were all too much concerned with ourselves and we seemed to forget other people..people who were "less-fortunate" compared to us. Lask week, I had learned so many lessons about contentment in life. I am always complaining that life is so tiresome and boring. I was so worried about Christmas expenses: tickets for going home, credit card charges, gifts etc. I forgot that my concerns were too nonsense compared with concerns of other people. This Christmas, may we know and see it's true essence through the eyes of the lowly. The song below was entitled Paraiso, a filipino term for paradise. The lyrics speak of a dark and dreary environment where scavengers are free to make what they get from the garbage pile. But that does not make them any less free to imagine...

The Bestest Birthday I Ever Had

I turned 24 last November 30. I felt so old and a little bit tired of my self. Indeed, life is full of surprises. I celebrated my birthday at Boracay in lieu with the Promet's Global Event. Checkout these pictures that reflect the great I had on that day! I was offering a peace sign for the world..I had bulging eyebags! I can't accept the fact that I am 24 years old. Radiating a smile with the beautiful sunset and enjoying the Boracay's sandcastles. Bonding with my teammates while filling our stomachs with 'eat all you can' Mongolian food. It's nice to see the faces behind their intriguing IM avatars. Chatting around in a Jamaican ambiance. It's really a beachy setting. Posing with Marie with the fire dancer in the background. Our swimming outfits! I can't stand to were bikinis so I prefer printed red shorts and midnight blue top. Killing the time with island hopping activity. I can't stand the big waves. It's swimming time. I run the race...Bor...

First Love DIES....

I was 15 , when I first saw the spark in him. I've known him since our freshmen days, but it was during that year when I felt something special for him. I would say he was definitely a hearthob. He stole the hearts of many girls but it took him 2 years to have mine. He was the kindest guy I’ve ever met. With those expressive eyes and warm smile, he simply took my breath away. But my young and restless heart knew that he could never be mine. He was just someone I can admire from a distance. Everytime I sign on my classmates' autographs, I marked his initials on the question, ‘who is your crush?’ I even used codenames just to keep my little secret. I wrote some forgotten poems at the back of my notebooks just to express the feelings I kept inside. But these never made me a good writer nor a poet. But a damsel with a story to tell. My classmates in high school, even in college already heard same old story. I was consistent and never hid that precious feeling. ‘I shall return!’ I ...

Are You Happy With Your Job?

What is your level of career satisfaction? Could it be improved? Do you dislike your workplace but enjoy your work? Is your current career a good fit, or is it time for something new? Every day, thousands of people make a life-changing career decision. Everyone deserves a career that is truly enjoyable. However, many people do not attempt to find their best career due to fear and anxiety over leaving the "comfort zone" of their current work. According to my research, to test your job happiness you should answer these questions: Do you look forward to Monday mornings? Do you enjoy telling others about your job? Do you get excited about new projects at work? Is your salary at the level you deserve? Would you apply for your current (or last) job again? If you answered "no" to any of these questions, it's time to take control of your future happiness and make some significant career improvements in your life. Here's another test to take: Free Fun Quizzes at FunQ...

In Life, Miracles Do Happen...

"When you have nothing left but God, then you'll realize that God is enough". I read this quotation from a daily bread a few years ago. Since then, it became my motto in life. It never failed to give me hope in times of failure and chaos. People view life in two ways: it is a glass that is half full or half empty. Either way, people of diverse principles strive hard to endure life's challenges. I have had some series of unfortunate events. It's not as "unfortunate" as in the Lemony Snicket's story. But then God remained faithful and He proved that miracles do happen if you only believe in Him. I'll not enumerate what had happened but in time I'll let you know. As for now, let me share some life's principles along with my thoughts about them. "What is the meaning of life? To be happy and useful." ~ The Lai Lama * A commonly asked question that can be answered by lengthy paragraphs. For me, Lama had the best answer: To be happy a...
