ON TO 2012—THANK YOU 2011!
 |
| Let's meet the 2012 with happiness in our hearts! |
I don’t want to end 2011 without
my year-end post, especially since I didn’t get to write a blog post last
Christmas due to the power interruptions. But since that has passed and the
present is more important, here I am, writing what I call my leap-of-faith
article.

Learn the Art of Letting Go and Making Room for Something Wonderful
 | |
| Let go of yourself.... |
I just got done sorting out my
clothes and throwing away old class notes to lessen clutter. Although I also
did this last December of 2010, I have to admit that it was only recently that
I fully embraced and appreciated the art of “letting-go”. Good bye old clothes
and shoes. Farewell collegiate notes. And soon I’ll be saying “so long” my
beloved books. At present, as I write this blog, I am already done planning the
shopping I’ll be doing this December – getting me a good pair of dressy shoes.

Karma is Just around the Corner: Better Be Good to Yourself
 |
| Learn to see greatness in every situation |
My Facebook home wall (not my profile wall) was recently bombarded by so many issues about karma from friends (well okay so I also
posted one too just yesterday). Two of my friends posted how people
who did them wrong was getting the bad karma they deserve. Some friends posted
quotes on karma. Others simply posted the pain they felt after karma got back
at them (regarding romantic relationships) and was making them depressed. Among
all the post that was there, one post stood out as this friend started it with Karma is just around the corner….

Baby Steps to Greatness: Start by Making Good Habits
 |
| It's the things you do today that make-up your future |
My
uncle once gave the most important tip in studying effectively: read and understand the book from cover to
cover “literally”. Whether it’s the copyright’s page, the index, the table
of contents, the edition, or just the testimonials, reading these can greatly
help in assimilating the lessons the author wrote in his book. He told me this
after quizzing me with what I was reading – an Engineering book which I was
surprised to see he understood more even if his profession was lined up in
political science (take note he just read it then and there). It was then that
I saw what was wrong with my study habits (particularly my reading). I love to
read and did very well in class; but I could have performed even better.

What Success Is...
Define SUCCESS...
It may be getting a promotion
Being able to travel more
Or finally getting fame…and fortune…
Then again, for some, fortune is enough….
Let’s admit, almost everyone
defines and acknowledges success to
the amount they have stashed away in the bank. With money you can buy anything
you want, go anywhere you want, and even be your own boss. Other than this you
can even help every person who comes to you for it and provide for your family’s
needs and wants…. When you’re able to do this you end up happy because you’re “successful”…
But what if no matter how much work you do—even with the six figure salary you
get each month—you still find yourself unsuccessful…

When Things Go Out of Control...
 |
| Listen.... |
I was supposed to write something about
iphone app development but I ended up writing this blog post instead. Recently
a certain blogger’s awards event happened in Legazpi. I may not have been a
part of it but some friends were and they won (CONGRATULATIONS!!!). I’m happy
for them and I have no regrets if I haven’t posted my link (this blog post) earlier
for the possibility of it being nominated. I was still fixing this blog – from
the contents to its layout (and layout’s next). As a graduate of an IT course
and as the blog’s owner I felt it was but right that I do the tweaking myself.
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to do it for months. But enough about this blog (or
when would it get finally done); I just want to point out something….
Things are meant to happen for a reason…

Morning Walk
 |
| The already risen sun |
I love my early morning walks; although I haven't done much of it recently, I’ll definitely do it again! When I started doing it I was only limited to our yard, but with the terrain I can't help worrying about tripping over--in other words I DON'T ENJOY IT! Good thing my sister finally took me to the pier to do some walks.

I've been to Pidru's
It's not Juan, nor Santiago nor Jose - not even Pedro - who had recently captured my interest (although these are names of the four Jimenez brothers whom my family call ancestors)...and it's not even a guy....it's dining...

Wishing I can update this blog more....
I know I haven't updated my blog for a month and how I wish I could more. Anyways, here's an update of what's been going on with me lately..
I've been attending class (it's not raining anymore)
I've gone to Legazpi (since my last December 28 visit)
I've gone back to Pidru's Resto (and discovered how full and good and cheap their carbonara is)
and attended a seminar The Art of teaching (and wrote something about it).
I can't say I've been really loaded but compared to the previous years, let's admit that at this point I should have at least that tiny bit of time to update my post--so why didn't I...?

Blogging and My Thoughts
Finally....Finally....Finally....
After more than a month....Finally!!!!
I miss BLOGGING! It's been a while and I really really miss this. It's been a while and in that span of time a lot has happened (even if it means me just staying home).
Although I wasn't writing, I was still visiting my blog. Unfortunately, in as much as I wanted to write whatever I was experiencing, work and school was always getting in the way. Not that those can stop me, it was just that I don't want to break the momentum I had with work and I have always considered this blog as a leisure. I love writing and this is a proof of it. I wanted to become a writer when I was young...Be like Ate Ophie and have my short stories or poems published in a Women's Magazine. At present, I am a writer, but not the type of writer I was planning on...but I must admit this "occupation" has definitely made me a better writer.
