Lots Of Things At A Time

by , in
Dear Me,

So what am I doing right now? Let me rephrase that: What are the things I am doing right now? Aside from cramming, multi-tasking is what I love to do best.

I am here at my workstation feeding on my pork giniling with egg lunch and sipping my Fres-C (yeah, without an 'h') pineapple juice (I like the taste). On the side, I am writing names in the mini-greeting cards so I can finally 'dispose' the gifts I wrapped last December 29 till the wee hours of the 30th (I did not sleep because I enjoyed wrapping the items I bought for people I care about and I wasted almost 3 hours for my sister to buy me that gift wrapper). The month of hearts is just around the corner and my wrappers are still in the festive mood.

Aside from doing these two, I am also blogging now and add to that, I am browsing the websites of my 2 potential renters from BlogExplosion. I am not really after traffic but I love to surf and read stuff from people's lives and experiences. I was exploring the features of BE and I chanced upon this Rent My Blog thingie. I thought of trying it out.

So what is this Rent My Blog thingie? It's where people can rent a little space on other people's blogs using credits they have either acquired by surfing and reading through blogs at BE. I have gained enough credits to even join the so-called Battle of the Blogs. Not that I have something to boast about my blog but I really find it neat and cool to join and wrestle with the other blogs. Out of 17 battles that I joined, I won 3 and lost 14. Hehehe. I know, big loser. But it's fun. =)

Anyway, I'm done with my lunch (though I have to bring my eating buddies to the pantry so I can wash them clean) and gift card-writing and with this post. I had to get back though with reading through my bidders' blogs so I can decide which blog will grace my space here. Ciao.

Gunning For The One

by , in
Dear Me,

The feeling that my career or my life (in its entirety) is swinging on a cut-thin thread is driving me insane. It's like I'm chasing Time everyday. People my age refer to it as experiencing the so-called 'quarter-life' crisis. Is it?

Maybe it is. But it doesn't matter. Okay, it does.

One day, I'm too focused on my drive to do the things that need to be done; but the next, I'm just being too carefree to think about it and then the following day, I'll be caught up in a whirlpool, trying to hold on and beat the urge to lay back.

I was once an ambitious girl. Ambitious in the sense that I wanna be somebody someday. Not literally taken as in be famous for people in the world to know but in my own sense. It matters to me then to get a graduate degree, have a title, climb the corporate ladder. But where am I now?

I'm not really totally regretting the course of my life right now. I like it the way it is but it is simply lacking. It is in my nature to be competitive with myself, beat my abilities to its own limits and that I am up for the challenge. It has nothing to do with external factors - the people around me or the things/events happening to me; it's more like an internal battle to be the real me.

Oh, blasted. What the h--- am I blabbing about? Sheesh.

Anyway, I really want to have that job in that company. I think I'm gonna be happier there. Setting the pay aside, I want to work in a company that provides/allows personal growth to its employees.

I need to pass the 3rd step to clinch the possibility of acquiring the post. But I have a problem to fix before settling with the 3rd step; and I am literally chasing Time at the moment.

I haven't applied yet with my 'cheesier' prospects but I really want to gun this down.

PS. If anyone's reading this post, please refrain from asking me what company I am referring to. I have personal reasons why. Please understand. =)
