Resurrection

Today, a friend died.  How do you console yourself of resurrection when the pain is this much?

Day 29: Common Sense

Compliance requirements are written in order to standardize action but what will be a more general guiding principle is substance over form, as accountants are familiar with.  Regardless of what form or medium was used for as long as an action was actually done - kudos to the in-charge.  A guide question would be - if that form was not forwarded to so and so, will that disrupt company's operation?  Of course, it is different with the law compliance - no one has a choice on this.

Day 28: I Choose

When I am in Laguna - I wish I am in Batangas studying instead of watching movies with my mom.  Then the opposite happen when I choose to stay in Bats over the weekend. 

Crazy that I always want what I don't have.

But last weekend was different - it was time well spent with my loved ones.  I even get to visit relatives I haven't seen for a (long) while.
It's much easier and enjoyable that way - choosing to live for the now, mind not wandering off to another space.

Day 22

In the name of Christ who heals the brokenhearted. Amen

Day 23: Crossroads

It's that turning point again that I am to decide whether to continue my losing streak or start again and make it better-er this time.

I feel that I don't deserve to share anything because my example is imperfect.  I feel that I am know nothing of change because I go back to my old self every time I see a single improvement (or when people notices something).  Finally, I don't feel I deserve a second chance.

These raw emotions take the best of me and I let myself be pulled down to depression when I don't start early everyday or on Sundays - I'd be sucky and wouldn't start the day at all.  I'd try again the following day and there I am again - hating myself for not waking up early enough to start my day perfect.  Then it accumulates and I would have a negative, unhealthy idea of myself.  I would continue the losing streak with my day, being nervous about the day for not start it right, letting time just pass while I just worry about it.  I am moving, getting myself myself busy but aimless - moving into nothing.

Limitless

Why put a specific label on yourself when you can be everything you want to be? 

Monday - comic, Tuesday - director, Weds - novena commentator, Thurs - CG head, Fri - CIA adviser, Sat-Sun - driver to visit friends and family, everyday - excellent household manager (taga-laba, luto, plantsta)

Just don't forget that you may be only one thing today but once you have mastered that, go conquer another undiscovered liking

Life is too precious to only have a single contribution to the world

Day 17: You have so much promise, believe it

I am utterly grateful where I am now - a place where I can start afresh with no pangs of past failures.  Although I have improved tremendously, comparing myself with another leaves me depressed. 

I vow to love myself more and drop this destructive vice of comparison (until I can benchmark "professionally")
