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.

My Free Time, Schooling, and Dreams...
People ask : Where have you been?
I answered : Working....
They ask again : Where...and what did you do....?
I replied : I became a writer and I taught college (math and logic circuits)...
Then they say (nodding) : Ah!
I get a lot of these lately: the nods, the questions, and of course the are-you-sure looks (as if I am not so sure of what I'm saying). It's been a while since I last entered the steps of my Alma Matter, and honestly--in as much as I am pleased to be back--I can't help but question other people's sincerity when they talk to me, or see me, walking along the corridors (and the surprise looks whenever I'd climb the stairs).
