I Am Happiest When..

I am happiest when I start doing something that I truly like...for example "reading a slide"...ehmmm..* smiling broadly.  

Dear Chinggus..

Since life become busier, I feel much better about life. I am now mostly occupied doing things that I love. How nice is that. Well..I must say...the secret in passing time wonderfully is by engaging in work every second of the day without feeling pressured by the demand of the task. Right??

Today, I have started doing something in my work place. Because of that, I am truly excited and looking forward to expand my knowledge and expertise in the so called new "task".

I think that, being a professional it means that we don't just do a task but also have the credibility and competency to run the task we are responsible with. I really don't like being a half-baked worker. When I do something, I want it to be perfect. Of course perfection is not something you can achieve easily but I feel that it is something that I must achieve. I want to become someone reliable for my opinion and the job that I did.

I think, it is given that an employee must give his or her best when she or he is performing a task. But also it is also given that the same person must continue on learning and expanding her or his knowledge and not  become complacent.

You have to train yourself to do work until you become excellent at it. Why? Because you ...could be the only one who can do it. :)

Okay..

Happy Working all and GBU!!

Small Gain VS Big Gain

Dear Boys& Girls..How are you all today?? :), I am my very cheerful self this morning. I think Its because everything run smoothly this early morning until this moment. I wake up early to cook for my lunch. I don on my favourite green peplum top matched with black skirt and I apply a pink lipstick, medium greenish eyeshadow and brighten up my eyes with copper shades eyeliner. I think I look fabulous. hihi..

It is so nice to wake up and to prepare for the whole day feeling absolutely fantastic, isn't?

Last night. I slept at 10.25pm after finishing a book entitled Kafka On the Shore written by Haruki Murakami. As usual he captivated me with his magic of storytelling. He had this very amazing way of fleshing out character that I can actually imagine all the characters described in his book. That way, there was no way I couldn't fall in love with it. 

On a different note, apart from reading book, recently I have been playing Miner's Game and what really made me think about this game is that, although there are many pieces of gold scattered on the uppermost layer of the earth that can be easily fished out, the most valuable one resides on the most deepest layer. To get it however, it takes a lot of energy and effort to aim right. 

What I think is wonderful isn't about the game itself. It is the correlation between that game and our aim in life. By looking for the small gain aka temporary fill, we are actually overlooking the much bigger gain which probably due to it needing a lot of effort and time to make it happen. However just like in the Miner's Game, if we make an effort and aim right for the big gain, we can easily win OUR GAME in life. I mean, compare to temporary and small gain like owning a new gadget, owning a saving or a house is something that definitely  can guarantee us a better life. Right?

Gaining big thing is what I am thinking deeply these days. Not that I never thought about it but right now I am in the midst of making a crucial decision about my take on purchasing for temporary pleasure or for a far more worthwhile purchase in the future.I think  purchasing things for temporary pleasure can wait but then again..it can also means I am postponing my happiness for something that I can only get after saving for a long time. I think because of the kind of person that I am (reckless at times, spontaneous and impulsive most of the time..it doesn't sound like I am going to be a good candidate for a bright future (pitying the soon to be old me..if I ever reach that age)

But..I am going to change that..So..what I am going to do is,  I am narrowing my list of needs and desire so it will be easier for me to aim for the Big Thing rather than placing the Small Thing as my purpose in life. Get it..

Whatever it is..I just want to be Happy.. :)

I hope you are Happy too..

Have a nice day!!

Love

XOXO

Serve Well Happily

First of all..let me just say..I am sorry for not updating this blog as often as I want it to be. The thing is, I really am occupied lately. The burden of work have increased. But I am not complaining. I am actually happy. I think that, what you can really do as an act of "revenge" to those people who keeps piling up a job for you to do is to do it well and MOST of all to do it HAPPILY.

Lately, the word stress has not been so much on my mind. I mean, how I perceived stress has changed dramatically. Of course I did get annoyed and I know its not right to feel that way, but at least at the back of my mind I understand that it is not something that I should continue on feeling.

It is also difficult to change your perspective when you are surrounded by negative influence. But I am going to learn to keep my attention on what is the priority for me despite the difficult circumstances. My priority is to SERVE WELL HAPPILY. 

I think when it comes to attitude, the way to change is to do it one step at a time. You aim for the right goal or right attitude and keep on persevering until you reach your goal. Yess??...please look at it that way! ya??

Well..I really am satisfactorily tired today. My duties are lining up but I am not stressed out right now. I am happily organizing and doing each task one by one wholeheartedly. To me doing my job to the best of my ability is one thing that I want to be proud of at the end of the day. 

Just..enjoy your work ya..!!!

Love you all...

Because of 50 cents

50 cents is not much. However, lately that 50 cents is something that keeps recurring in my mind.

When I was a kid, my parents worked really really hard to make ends met. During those time my mother who was then working as an attendant at a dispensary, always brought my third brother along with her to her workplace. That was how he learned something very important from her.

Because of 50 cents (a price to catch a pick up truck which was a common transportation for people to commute to places in those days) my mother and brother walked to and fro the Dispensary. They did that to save 50 cents. :) It was not an easy journey. They had to walk very far even over a hill.( I don't remember how far but by car it can be around 20 minutes or more??) It was not such a nice road. 

Nevertheless that 50 cents is something that my third brother never let go in his life. He really humbles me that way. While I live trying to find temporary fulfillment, he lives exactly to prepare for the future. 

For a while I have been blinded by what I think is right for me as in enjoying my youth as it is and enjoying my time now. I do think of the future but not aggressively. In my line of thinking, I should be happy now, buying whatever pleases me and just invest a little albeit consistent for the future. Maybe that is not so wrong. The wrong thing about it is that, I should invest more for the future rather than splurge on things for now to make me feel happy. Right??? I mean if you really think very deeply about life..whatever we are doing today, it is suppose to be our preparation for tomorrow, right???  And also..I think there is nothing wrong with trying to keep up an image but if you have to look at it in a different angle, my mother never owns anything (jewellery or new clothes) when we her kids were growing up. She invested all of her income for our future and her future so she didn't have to suffer in her old age. She did that and now we became who we are now and my parents are doing fine. I am proud of her. I think she is amazing and she did a great job both for her children and her own future. 

In the past we never really have much and even now, even though every one of us is working hard, we just merely able to get by (but of course far better than how we were). But we are most certainly blessed indeed because none of us is sick from untreatable disease, our parents are still healthy and living their old life doing what they want to do and most of all we have each other to turn to when things get tough.

You know, I am thankful that I have all that. I am happy that I have my brothers and my parents. I am happy that I am still able to learn from them even now. I am so blessed that because I have brothers by my side I can assess my life from time to time and I can listen to their word of wisdom or learn from how they live their life now. 

Indeed I am so blessed.

I think from now on, I will learn to save more aggressively for future sake. :) Come...lets do it together..ya??

Okay chinggus...

XOXO.
