Just Starting...

I am starting a new journey with this book that my new employer has given me. 

Actually, I was quite surprised to when on my first day of work..they gave me a set of office stuff inluding this book. It was such a warm welcome that I almost cried. 

HEE!!!! 

--------------------------------------------

On a different note, I am happy that more & more stores are using the recyclable paper instead of plastic bags. Just imagine how greatly it'll lessen our non-biodegradable wastes. I saw MINI STOP & JOLLIBEE starting this campaign a few weeks ago. 

By the way, how's everybody doing? I don't have that much time to stay on the world wide web so I rarely get to update this & the rest of my social networking sites. 

I miss you all!! 

Let's all stay happy & healthy!!

Musings

Since I've resigned from my previous employer..I feel like I've been wandering the streets. Not literally though,...But it was exhilarating I can't explain. I felt emancipated & finally I can do whatever I want. While looking for another full time job, I've decided to have a part-time online teaching job to sustain my daily needs. The flow of money stops but that doesn't mean my bills will cease as well. 

So my work for the day starts at 7pm and ends at 12midnight. This may be hard..knowing that aside from my own bills, I have my family back in my hometown to support..but I can't explain the feeling. I feel so optimistic about the future. At last, I have something to look forward to again..like how I was in my younger years. It feels good to be a child at heart & spare yourself of the burdens & worries of the world. 

So on during my free time I wander around SM Megamall. It was not to go shopping..I just wanted to .... feel & savor the moment. I observe people, & immerse myself with the novelty of the experience. One time, out of the blue I decided to grow a plant so I bought this flowering plant. 

The store @Sm  Megamall

I was definitely enamored by these.

I still remember how blissful it feels to be surrounded by plants. Back in our hometown, my mother in her younger years loved to plant & I must say she & my father definitely has a green thumb. Unfortunately I didn't inherit it. I guess my thumb is pink? (hehehe)

Pimpled me.

So here's the one I decided to grow..I started with one first...

..but.... 

I was just convinced that I don't have a green thumb when this one eventually died. =( I don't know what happened. 

This new lifestyle has also led mo to doing things I've been longing to do..

like...reading...

v                                           

..eating.....

... drinking..

playing...

..seeing the sunrise above the busy city...

seeing the sun set...

& just live.

Yes that's right. I've been living..and not just surviving. And eventhough worries about my future expenses threaten... I can't seem to stop smiling these days.

To My Followers..

I've recently noticed that I've gotten more followers for the past few weeks & for that I'm grateful. 

Thank you so much! 

 But of course, along with that I know that I should be responsible with what I write. It should somehow be of interest to them. It's a pressure really. I've pondered about it for a long time. I've realized that you followed me because of who I am, what you see on my blog & what you think I am. So I will stick to it. This will remain a personal lifestyle blog of a commuter. I'm so sorry if I wouldn't be able to make this 'commercial' for some. This is who I am & you'll have to deal with it. 

(hahaha this may sound like pasaring but let me tell you that no ill feelings. I just simply wrote how I felt.) 

Paalam CDP!

I really wanted to blog about this last Wednesday, January 4, but I couldn't bring myself in front of my Blogger dashboard. 

Anyway, last January 4th, I was told that I'd be joining another team. That was very heartbreaking for me since I've already gotten very comfortable with my EBean team. But who was I to complain? Prior to that, a lot of transfers have already been made so it shouldn't come as a surprise. 

hmm...I don't want to make the short story long so let's just skip a few details & head to my final decision. I've decided to just immediately resign. It was so not me. I would usually freak out with this idea but somehow, I felt genuinely happy! Maybe I was looking for an adventure. Anyway, I thought I was crazy but I found myself already doing the proper procedures for resignation. I only gave a 2-day notice but I wouldn't suffer the consequences of not following the 30-day notice since it was a transfer. A different case daw. 

These pictures were taken on my last day, January 6th. 

Medyo malayo pa ang sahod so lahat kami di mapera. But I was quite surprised when 2 of my teammates prepared a cheap meal. It was just pancit canton & pandesal from Pan de Manila. I was really touched & happy. But I couldn't help but feel the reality sinking in. I realized that I'd be taking an unsure path & that I'd be leaving people I've come to love. It was really sad. 

This was my last schedule. 

This was our supervisor Jon. 

Gizette & Ran.

When I arrived nga pala on my station that day, I saw this one. A present from Gizette. So sweet. 

So there was my farewell with Chungdahm. It's just been almost 8 months but I  have a lot of good & bad memories to treasure. 

I will miss this aisle....

...and of course these people. 

Paying it Forward!

Ever heard of "Pay It Forward"?

It's actually 2000 film about a young boy attempting to make the world a better place by doing good to 3 people..and asking those 3 people to do something good to another 3 people. Just imagine what difference it will make. It says "Dream Big. Start Small" I'm really hyped right now. After watching the trailer of the movie below I'm inspired to start my own "Pay It Forward" movement. 

So wanna start your own?

I think super ganda ng idea na to! You do good things without expecting something in return .at least not to you but to other people. A selfless act.

Yee I'm excited.

And I'd also like to share this article I read from femalenetwork.com about the same topic.
