Mind of a fickle

Think Happy Thoughts. That's my mantra lately. Though, there's still unwelcomed ones. I smile more often now. Really. So, how did I fare with "To Dos" so far. Errrmmm... Squirm here now... 1. Spend more time with the girls. Read and play with them when I can. And, not to get angry but to talk to them first when they're being makulit. Be a better mother and model to them. Well, well, good thing this is number one. I think I get an 8 here. Though I still have to work on it some more especially "the not to get angry part" --- I think I'll get there in due time. 2. Be a loving wife. I haven't really asked Pre if he has seen any changes yet hahaha But I try not to get him riled often now. 3. Lose A LOT of weight. My actual resolution is not to eat any chips this year. Some days I get this bad "manas" and I feel it's because I am storing lots of fluids in my body because of eating too much salty foods. Hmmm so who said New Year Resolution...

The week started without my Tagalog tele-serye. Yes, I vowed to stop watching after Ysabella ended hehehe I vowed to stay away from the tv at night and just be with the "3" kids. Hahaha. So far, so good. I had a very interesting week at the office where my boss and I talked about my performance. I was quite disappointed with some of his "thoughts", I felt that it was very subjective especially when he had to name people who he thinks we should gang up with but I really really don't like. He said that I cannot choose my users. True. But, he's not a typical user, he's out to get our bloods (He always have to brag that he's rubbing shoulders with the head of all heads whenever we have meeting with him! As if that will scare me off! Hahaha!). Even though my blood was close to boiling point, I quickly signed off my appraisal form. Let's wait and see how "good" the result is in a few months. What got me spiffy are the little thing...

I noticed that I get this angst with my job at the start of the year, if you dare read my last year's posts, you'll notice that there's a similiarity with what I am feeling now. I am a bit happier though than last year because I have Filipino colleagues to chat, eat and shop with haha I still remember to thank the Lord because I still have a job to go to. I hope that this feeling will pass away. And, that I will be able to sit contentedly, welcome and cheerfully talk to my users when they have queries. "Thank you, Tita Avs, Christine and Aslee ! Your inspirational comments are very much appreciated." Let me end this post with a today's Daily Devotional by Pastor Prince of New Creation Church . That it may give you hope in times of sadness and trials. God Has Already Been To Your Future Isaiah 54:22 “Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; do not spare; lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes. The L...

During my appraisal, my boss asked me if I am happy with my work. He felt that I lacked the zeal I used to have. 1. I come in at 9:30AM instead of 8:30AM. 2. I am not as patient with my users as I used to. At the start of the year, I told myself that I will change but the thing is, it's still pending. Could it be that I am really not happy? When will I find job satisfaction?

That's what I needed at the start of this year! Though one door closed, another one will open soon --- with the help of the Lord! Thank you, Lord --- for the answer. (Katuwa kasi I asked for an answer and He gave it to me today.)

Don't you feel like time just sneaked up on you? For this year, I plan to take my time, enjoy the days with my family, enough planning but actually start doing things. I don't want to sit idly by and watch time go by. 1. Spend more time with the girls. Read and play with them when I can. And, not to get angry but to talk to them first when they're being makulit. Be a better mother and model to them. 2. Be a loving wife. 3. Lose A LOT of weight. My actual resolution is not to eat any chips this year. Some days I get this bad "manas" and I feel it's because I am storing lots of fluids in my body because of eating too much salty foods. 4. Enough Whining. Enough said, right? 5. Save.

May the Lord continue to bless you with love, joy and peace! May you continue to seek the Lord in your everyday lives and accept him as your personal tour guide for 2008! May your work life be blessed that you will reap the fruits of your hard labor. May your family be enriched with love that will bind you in the days to come. Happy New Year!
