Quitting my job

After a long debate inside my mind, I have finally taken a stand to quit the job I have been working for almost four years. And quitting a job is even harder than it looks like. I seriously had to ask some people's opinion about it.


I guess this is the dilemma for me. I decided to have my full time schedule working on my fortune. At first I thought I still could manage, (doing it part time).. but I guess it's really the smartest decision to do right now... 

Well, it is very nice to have a job, especially when you feel trusted by your co-workers and Manager. It is also great to make my own money, to have this independent life (fyi, life is so different way back when I was still minor). Getting hired is just a proof that you are good enough to compete in this struggling workforce. The offer looks so yummy to me that I could not refuse the first time. However, after the time I took to think about it, these are some points that came across me.

1. It opens up more chances.

Being comfortable with the job you are doing is a good thing. But when there are always bigger chances out there if we reach out. Although it looks promising, my heart desires for more challenge, for doing new things with new people in the new workplace. That's what I am aiming for the next work terms. I wish that my experiences would somehow shift the old me to be someone valuable. 

2. Age does matters.

All I want is a job where I can enjoy and have fun with my co-workers (not with the old once, but I have learn a lot from them... promise!.. not that bad ^_^ ) 

3. No social life.


Trust me, I'm not a social butterfly. I don't go to parties. Only, I get so busy that I have no time hanging out with my friends. I get tired so easily that I fall asleep at 11 pm each night, without even going to Facebook or update this blog. I just can't imagine my life filled up with only school and work. I do need some days off, too :)  

4. Money is not everything.

When I asked my father for advice, he told me that money can be so tempting but it's not what I'm aiming for now. I do admit that it feels so nice to earn money on my own, because it gives me independence for a while. Maybe one of the reasons why I chose to take the offer was money. However, I am more than willing to pay the price if it's requires quality time with my family. 

It gets really exciting to seek new opportunities. Meanwhile, I wish I will do great in the BI quadrant. 

 I know I have my God - my constant companion. :)

Daily Prompt: Just Keep Swimming

They (my sister and my niece) were watching  “Finding Nemo” last Sunday,  and that moment I was plucking my guitar,  I was about to get my capo when I heard clearly what Dory says (the blue fish)  “Just keep on swimming, just keep on swimming” Oh! That’s it! (Seems like God use Dory to remind me this)   When things seem to be impossible to do,  “Just keep on swimming, just keep on swimming” When you feel tired  “Just keep on swimming, just keep on swimming” When in doubt  “Just keep on swimming, just keep on swimming” Because when life gets you down, that's what you've got to do… “Just keep on swimming, just keep on swimming” Not literally but to "Move Forward in Faith" ^_^ #Amen #TYL #ThanksDory #EnduringHeart #FearlessFaith  #71of365

Daily Prompt: Planner♥

Iniiyakan ko ang planner ko habang  binabasa ang mga naisulat kong plano,  para sa sarili ko, para sa pamilya ko,  para sa komunidad kung san ako nabibilang  at para sa ikauunlad ng bansang Pilipinas (haha. Loko lang)  yung totoo, nitong mga nakaraang araw,  maraming beses lang nakikipag usap sakin ang Panginoon  sa pamamagitan ng mga talata ng librong aking binabasa,  sa musikang aking pinapakinggan  at maging sa mga taong aking nakakasalamuha,  ang minsang mga bagay na akala ko’y  nakaayon naman sa plano ng Panginoon  ay nag iiba ng ruta at mas pinapakitaan Niya ko  ng bagay na di ko sukat akalain, at kelangan ko talagang namnamin. Ang pulit ulit na mensaheng binibigay Niya “ Mag antay ka ”  ang salitang to na pakiramdam ko unti unti kong ikamamatay (OA lang… haha)  sati’y napak ahirap isa –puso’t isabuhay,  habang iniisip nating ang buhay nati’y isang mahabang paglalak...

Daily Prompt: Reflection Paper

“We have to learn it this way” as I lead the prayer to end the last session of our Integration class.  While reflecting on my experience of taking up Intergration, I came up to a realization that I trully enjoyed the process. I remember, I was really excited when our teacher announced the “Major major project” in her subject. I really love the experience in dealing with business – oriented individuals, how they start  the business and what are the values they possess in order for them to keep the business on top. And I know that I am the type of person who loves to learn more knowledge in and out of the classroom. But  a “team project” leads to an “individual group work”,  we have no one to blame but ourselves. I, myself should have a sense of responsibility, since I am one of the senior students, It was difficult at times to motivate myself to do the work, since I see the other groups do their best effort to collaborate with the team.  But there’...
