Satisfaction

Earlier this morning, I received a message from one of my friends overseas, inviting me to work abroad. Yes, I have always planned and will always plan to go overseas - it was very tempting. Just so I realized, I am still not satisfied with what I have. I am thankful that I have a nice work, nice working environment, and I can say I have a good future in here. But why is it that I am still not satisfied? I don't know actually, maybe I am just really urging myself to work abroad. Damn satisfaction, willing to give up things just to be satisfied. Damn satisfaction.

Job and Contentment - Part III

Ok, the person I've been telling about has already left the company - good for the company, not for him. The way he left is just so unimaginable. Imagine going to work and then suddenly disappeared without any notice from anyone. That's just so unprofessional. His being not contented with what he has finally brought him to his decision. What's bad about what he did was not applying work ethic. Maybe he must have found new job already, yet he did not even tried to gracefully exit the company. Tsk. I hope though that he's still be successful in his decision. Job and contentment? They are bound to each other to reach success, at least for a workman.

Job and Contentment - Part II

Ok, last time I shared about how to be contented on what we have. It simply is acknowledging God for giving us the things that we enjoy. Again, I was faced with people whom cannot be happy with what they have. I don't judge them nor blame them, it's what they feel anyway. It just doesn't feel right for me as it seems they are provoking other people to feel for them and eventually decide to resign. Again, if you have grudge for the company, let this grudge be yours as other people's performance might get affected by what you do. If you want to resign, go ahead, but don't instill something on other people's minds just so it would make you feel you have someone to stand by your side and do equally what you want to do. Be brave and embrace your situation alone.

Diet plus gym equals awesome?

Why? I don't know. I just felt like I really need to apply for a gym membership. Dieting alone is not enough - for me, as I can't stop eating! Few weeks back, I've posted about undergoing cleansing diet but whattaaa, I failed. The other day, my sister and I bought a boxing set, yet it's not yet set up! Deym, how can I start losing weight! Gym's my last option. Maybe if I enrolled in a gym, I'd be forced to work out and eat less and use our boxing set at home. That means awesomeness right? Hope so. Because I am now desperate T_T

Job and Contentment

People just can't be contented with what they have. I know this is human nature, but as long as we don't acknowledge who's the reason behind what we have, we can't be contented. It's only a month and a half since I got my job, but I am beginning to hear from people that they are going to resign - note that this includes the new ones. Why? Simply because they are not meeting their personal expectations. I am not against them, but I hope they see that not all people have the kind of high paying job (at least). Be reminded that what you have right now is not just because of your own intel or talent, but because someone from above gave them to you. Be a good steward and learn to take care and use properly what He's given you.

Past and Present

Yesterday was my father's first death anniversary. I can still remember how hard it was for me when my father died. I can say that before I had unresolved issues with him making it hard for me to move on. He was not a perfect father, and even though I am not as close to him as with my mother, I am so proud to say he's the best.

When we visited his grave, I can say we have all moved on already. Anyhow, we still talk about him - we smile, laugh, and never forget that he's still a part of our family. We may never be complete again, but I know our hearts would remain in tact with his memories.

Papa, we miss you and we love you. You are always remembered, and your doings for us especially your walk with the Lord will always be something that we, especially me would look back that I may be a good christian, just like you.

Enjoying Life

It's been awhile since I last played an online game. After I started my work as a Jr. NOC Engineer, my daily routine changed. I can barely visit my facebook and twitter account - my life virtually. I thought I'm dead. However, things changed after I opened an ad that just came from nowhere while browsing the Internet. This game is called Pocket Ninja. Yeah, it's probably a year old now as it has 17 servers, but deym I'm so glad I clicked that ad. What I liked about the game is it's actually anime based - two of my favorite anime which is Bleach and Naruto. Sounds good right? I can't really describe how to play the game, but I am really enjoying it. That's life anyway, you lose something, but you get another thing. Why not try it yourself? Here's the link. I hope you enjoy like I am enjoying it.

Boredom Madness

Alright. It's Sunday, and I'm at work. It's been a month now since I started my work as a Jr. NOC Engineer. So what does a "NOC Engineer" do? Primarily, NOC's are the escalation master - expect that from time to time, in as little as every 10 minutes, a request, complaint, or trouble is delivered in inbox. But what do I do with it? As I have said, I escalate. But of course, I should do necessary procedures first before I escalate a particular issue. What I do like about being a NOC Engineer? I see lots of exposures good for career growth, but for now, I am just a ticket handler. Anyway, again it's Sunday. Very different from regular work week. Saturdays and Sundays are plainly "boring day". So, I am listing down my version of killing time.

Emil Carlo's how to kill time

1. Study - For once, let's pause not for pure leisure. If we want to kill time, use it for your benefit. Try browsing through tutorials, articles, and other learning materials than can be found on the web. You might want to try reading the bible. You might find doing this useful to your work later on.

2. Organize - 90% of people I know are not organized, be in their work space, file cabinets, or even pedestal. Their reasons, not enough time. Now that it's idle, I think this is the right time to organize things.

3. Plan - Plan things that must be done. This can be simple appointments, timeline to achieve something, and budgeting.

Diet begins today

Ok, I just started with my cleansing diet but oh, I feel like being killed slowly haha. My worst enemy is water - clear, tasteless, boring. How can I survive without drinking soda? Aside from water, I need solid foods, but dang I forgot to buy apples T_T Now my body's shaking, but I don't have a choice, I really can't go down as I can't leave my post. Now what will I do? My head is starting to ache, my stomach grumbles, my eyes shutting - ultimate. But again, I need to do this, to kill myself bwahahaha. I am giving myself one week, and I need to push myself hard. Starvation might not be a solution, but I got no choice. xD

Losing it all

I always believed that I lived a healthy life. Yeah I sometimes tend to overeat but I never admitted that I am gaining weight - gaining weight a lot. This has been observed by my friends and even some people who's been around me for quite awhile, yet I am convinced that I, my body still looks the same. It was until about few days ago when I received my medical results.

It was about a week now since I learned that I now am classified as obese class 1 - I am 26 years of age; height is 5'4; weighing 142lbs; and obese. It's not that bad I thought, but hey, I should shed these fats off my body and start to live a healthier life.

Starting this week, I will do an apple and water cleansing diet. Note that my current weight is 142lbs. How about losing as much as 5-7lbs after this week? I am not quite sure about what to do yet, but I guess this should be a good start. When I gained 22lbs in just about a year, It's not gaining, but losing - I lost confidence. I lost control. And more importantly, I lost life. Now, I think it's about time to start losing what I gained and start regaining what I lost.
