DAY9: Overtime

-
It's rather a boring thankful for item. But, I am thankful really for overtime (see time on the picture). I was able to remove three items from my to-do list and update this blog.


During the glory days of our work site, I was able to experience the beautiful things that overtime did to my salary. Though am not experiencing any of that lately, I'd like to be thankful for it (even if its all OTY lately) at least I'm able to compensate for the day's inefficiency.

DAY30: a very happy girl today

Finally! I thank God for the awesome year that He has given me, it was definitely worth the wait of the 30-day countdown. If some of you were wondering why I'm doing all this DAY-ish something posts, its because I'm doing a countdown for my birthday, just to get me excited and for the conceited purposes of announcing it. Happy girl, am a very happy girl today.  Woke up early and had a tapa breakfast and brewed coffee with my roommate, went to work did some useless cramming on our documents and got surprised when one of my electricians came in the office with a big cake. My electrical team gave me a cake! I am deeply touched by the gesture. See they are workers; I understand that it is very unpractical for them to buy such a thing, and them buying it was very very touching.  Two things I realized from this cake.   1. That I am already an Engr. (this is my first cake with an Engineer in it) 2. and that somehow I am doing things right in terms of treatin...

the return of the comeback of teacher pogs

So, I am finally making it official... I'm back at UPLB for a one year contract. It still feels dreadful (minsan lang), especially during moments when I am alone and when I have no one to talk to (which is palagi these days), kasi my plans did not materialize and because I am still beating myself up for the decisions that lead me to this situation. Pero its not dreadful naman talaga, its just that I still have some personal and spiritual (if you know what i mean) issues to settle with and I am still getting used to the niceness of living and working at UPLB. I did realize, however, that I have missed out on a lot of things when I got in the 7-4 Monday to Saturday work format. Now that work allows more flexibility with regards to spending time and all that, I will be doing more of the following: sleep write read cook ride a tren to Bicol (be cool in Bicol) ride the bus to Bohol go back to Mindanao hang out on coffee shops walk my dogs take care of my self cultivate ...

The 30 day exercise. Day 01

-
It's been a while since I've been here. It's quite interesting to look back and see how the old me thought, and how much I still feel the same in some ways while also being different in others. I think I want to try and revive this space because I've been feeling a bit lonely and wanting someone to talk to at the end of the day. And since it's usually just me and my dog after long days at work or on weekends, I thought maybe I'd write it down instead of paying for a therapist. So, I'm currently at a crossroads. I think I know what to do for the next year, but I still don't know the answer to the "where" part of things at the moment. But more than that, I kind of want to assess where I'm at. I saw this Instagram reel (I know it's not the most reliable source, but it seems okay) about a 30-day exercise where I carve out 15 minutes of my day to answer three questions in a notebook. Instead of writing in a notebook, I'll write here inst...
