Beautiful Journey

Happiness is a Choice!

Every now and then, our company has this “Crazy Day”. Everybody will have to dress up on a theme that will be agreed. Last month, my team Cross Dressed. The guys wore ladies clothes and the girls wore guy’s clothes. I never expected it to be so much fun. It was a consequence for not meeting a quota but turned out to be so much fun. This month, I am crossing my fingers and praying that we meet our target or else we will all have another Crazy Day. I am not being negative or something, but as early as now, I am thinking on what our next theme would be. If this is a consequence then at least we make it twice as fun as the first time. I am thinking of having Brady Bunch Costumes for this month. Well, in case. But of course, I would still prefer that we hit our target and don’t have to through the Crazy Day instead get rewarded. In life, we can never have everything our way. And the best way to deal with it is to enjoy it and turn that unhappy feeling into something positive by being grateful of the things that we have instead rather than whining about it which would definitely not able to help you get out of that mess. Lesson learned…Happiness is still a choice! I’m sticking to it.

If You Believe

It’s September already and two months after, it’s going to be December. I want to have an Orlando vacation with my family. Walt Disney World, Sea World or Universal Studio would be fine. I would not complain much if I can have a 3 days and 2 night’s package for free. OK, OK…I’m dreaming. But then who knows, somebody UP there heard this little dream and would grant it. Miracles do happen, if you believe…

Get A Reward

I wanted to reward myself. I have been working hard these past days even to point of wanting to quit already. I felt I have worked so hard I got burned out. I wanted to treat myself to a spa. What a simple wish for a year-round toil. I dream to have a spa just for myself. I’d get a spa cover and open it up only when I get stressed. Stressed from work and even stressed from dreaming. Whew!

Look Into My Eye

They say that the eye is the window of the soul. The eyes can tell if the person is happy or sad. By looking at the person’s eyes, you’d know if the person is telling a lie or telling the truth. During job interviews it is always recommended that applicants look at the interviewer in the eye. Get an eye wrinkle cream and take care of your eyes. People get to look at them every time.

Taking Accountability

If I am to get my life ensured now, and I take the Insurance exam, I am surely to fail. Not that I am suicidal or something. I simply mean, would stress make you fail in that life insurance test they will conduct before they grant you your insurance? I don’t know. But it being stressed is part of it, I am so busted. I heard there are some Life Insurance company that has No Medical Exam Life Insurance required. Then let’s go for it. Have ourselves insured. I used to be confident before that let the future take care of itself. But honestly, I am not sure anymore. I hope I’d get that confidence back. I want to be accountable for everything that is going on with me right now. I don’t want to point fingers to people behind me, in front of me or the person beside me. In the test of life, you should be accountable with every decision you make whether they give out a positive or negative result. It was you who took the test in the first place. And you should blame anybody for it. So now, I am taking accountability of what’s going on with me right now.

She Deserves It

My grandmother is admitted again in the hospital. She landed in ICU this time. I felt a little guilty because I have not visited her as much as I wanted to. I have been so preoccupied with a lot of things and a lot of it is made up of immature choices. My lame excuse is, I am so stressed I need to unwind. Don’t get wrong. Unwinding for simply means, being alone most of the time and just day dream that one day, I will have to reap the harvest of my hard work. So, anyway, I wanted to give my grandmother something that would make her feel that I love her and something that would always remind her of me every time she looks at that something. I am thinking of a Cheap Vertical Blinds. Why? Because number one, I know she will love it. She likes blinds. Number two, it would shield her from the sun especially when will be lying down on her bed near the window. Number three, it symbolizes care because it brings comfort when it’s sunny and filters the sun. She can just easily peep outside if she gets tired of looking inside the four wall corners of her room. Why blinds and not curtain? Blinds are classier. And my grandmother deserves it.

I Must Not Stop

Come September 11, my web host provider will end its contract. I don’t know if the owner will renew or not. I talked to her and she said yes. Well, I am confident that she will or else I will have a big problem. Transferring to another web host might not be a big problem for others but for it is for a hundred and one reasons. Okay, I’m exaggerating. But truly it would be a problem. When I have enough funds, I am planning of investing in a reseller web hosting. That way, I would not encounter the same anxiety as I am undergoing now. Blogging has already been a part of my life. And it helped me a lot especially whit my finances. Although lately, I did not receive much opportunity compared a few months ago. Maybe it’s because I am not updating my site regularly. I admit I was lazy. I admit was out of focus. But now, I am committing myself again to write. Write all these things down. Write down heartaches, every joy, every trial and every success. This will be my new commitment starting today. I need to stand up and rebuild myself. I wanted this and I must not stop.

We Lose If We Quit

My husband is part of the PTO in our daughter’s school. I get to hear him wine about being an officer. He is not quite good with that. He always tells me. I assured him that I will always be behind him with all of this since it’s for our daughter’s sake. One of the things that they do is of course to raise funds for the school. There has been a lot of school fundraiser activity that they did. PTO fundraisers are always fun especially if everybody will cooperate most especially the kids. PTO Today can help a lot in getting ideas on fund raising. Being a leader at work, thinking about it seems easy for me. But for my husband, it was always a challenge for him to lead. But there are a lot of helpful resources that is available online. I told him that it may be challenge for him but once this is all done, he will be so proud of himself and will add more to his confidence that he can do it. In life, you don’t get all the easy tasks. Sometimes, we also get the tough ones. But if we quit without trying, then it’s like accepting the fact that we lose. So the choice is really up to us now.

Non-Important That Is Important

Michelle Angelie — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 10:05:00 +0000

It has been awhile since I wrote. Guess I have been very busy lately. Busy with non-important stuff. Like hanging out with friends and stuff like that. Most non-importantly, I have been very busy getting involved with Social Medias and networks. I usually get some social news in there. Mostly, update of people’s what about. Social Media Marketing is quite amazing. It really already has served its purpose because it has become a part of people’s lives already. And it helped me promote my blog as well and helped increase my page rank. There has been a lot of Social Marketing Email Campaign that I received before which I just totally ignore. Now that I am into blogging, I know I have to be a part of it. I get to promote my blog, get in touch with family and friends near and far. There are a lot of things that Social Networking could do. You also get to know what has been going on with your friends and relatives from afar. The world has become smaller because of this. You don’t have to wait for days to get a message across. It would only take seconds. I used to be skeptic with having a social media account. But now, I’m taking it back. Now I’m for it.

Love Will be Our Home

Modern Furniture is something that I wanted to have. But more than that, I wanted to have a home. I may have everything in our house, but if I don’t have peace, love and harmony in our house, that would still not compliment everything. An absence in any of my loved ones would bring so much sadness in our home and no expensive furniture could replace that. I was watching Glee and in one of their episode, I was touched by Home. A house would not be a home without love and the person you love living in it. So now, I have reduced my standard of having a beautiful home. It’s not about the furniture but it’s the people living in it. The kind of love you share with each other. The happiness you have having each other around is what matters. Wherever there is laughter ringing, someone smiling someone dreaming, we can live together there, because love will be our home. Wherever there is children shouting and playing, no matter how messy your house will be after, we can live together there because love will be our home. This is easier said than done. And it takes a lot of patience though. But at the end of the day, when you lay down your bed before you go to sleep, you think. Do I have everything I want or have everything I need? Then it would not be hard anymore.
