    Stepping Stones 6:22 PM

    I titled it as Stepping Stones because in every stone, there's a lesson learn:
    (these are my personal experiences, mainly at work and social gatherings. :) )


    • Unspoken Hurt
    So yes, I think Ive grown tired of listening to a close friends's blabberings about her dissatisfaction over another person's "short comings."
    It got sickening cz I told my friend to confront him/her over caused hurt/ unsatisfaction/ expectation matter.
    It went on repetitions... my friend learnt... but (yah, the BUT) she wasnt doing it the right way... BUT i think that's enough to keep the weight of my friend's chest.

    Sometimes whenever my friend shares the problems knowing our victims can be present any moment, I hope that we're not gossiping... lol... ahaa.. no, I think we're just picking out their bad points and want their improvement for the good of everybody. :)

    • Child-like attittude
    So Yes, its true when they say that "there's a child in every person."
    It's such a turn off and what a wake up call to realise and witness for myself that given any age of a person, not every one is perfect.
    There are obvious child-like attittude problems and the adult doesnt seem to act the norms of an appropriate maturity... it is up to us to decide and realise that... because come to think of it, we may not notice the flaw for we learn our life lessons in different ways. Ways meaning, some are quick to notice for they have experience as their backup or anothers are still literally growing up. (get wat I mean? :) )

    • Rold-modeling
    It stinks sometimes... whenever you feel tired and there's the obligation of having to keep your every move at work, school, church or any society/organization you're involved with on par.
    Yea... secret is, you just gotta love what you do so the pressure is absent...
    Just have fun... really.... you'll make it at the end of the day... :)
    • Faith
    I've learnt to cling on Jesus everyday of my life.
    What I do is start and end my day with a prayer, then bible readings at night to complete it.
    I've learnt that lately, I feel incomplete if I don't start my day with a prayer....
    because my actions are always violated by the devil. Know what Im saying?
    Or rather, driven by the devil... it still scares me whenever I say 'devil' but if you just trust in God in EVERYTHING, you just feel at ease..... :)
    I needed a mini scripture with me whenever I go....
    I listen to christian music whenever I travel...
    I sing and hum the songs and they never fail to keep me happy:)
    Yes, Jesus is alive.
    And I also noticed that I'm not egoistic anymore.
    Im more humble... because Jesus is the one who holds my every situation.
    I know he is there and He is in control... Im just his passenger sit and Im loving the ride...
    I just have to be careful, remain faithful and always be under his refuge and remain active in church:)
    He has bigger plans, ideas, surprises... things I cant control in my life... And I believe He knows what's already best for me...
    Mahirap kasi kung lagi nalang ikaw ang sariling boss...
    Have Faith.

    • Intelligence
    Gee... Ok, so I do find myself stammering and being conscious whenever I speak to our regular customers (at Starbucks).
    They are already a handful whom I find kinda comfy talking to...
    (There are estimatedly about 40 regular customers in our store)
    Yes, KINDA... idk... maybe because they're the bunch of working people and most of them, I can tell are successful and living on more than an average kinda lifestyle.
    (They're mostly white... and their accents are just a wack!)
    I still have that insecurity but deep down, I'm anxious and excited whenevr I get to talk to them.
    There's just alot to learn by just looking at them, speaking to them when I take their orders... and IDK... there's the part where we need to talk to customers (its a friging compulsory thing at work... and sometimes it tends to be personal i keep a boundary right there... sometimes im not even sure if my questions are provoking, too personal or maybe even rude? gee! i get conscious... dang it.... I need help in this area. haha! FIIISH!

    • Time-Management
    Our store is the 2nd busiest among the 64 stores island-wide.
    Yes it is tiring at the end of the day. The tiredness only sinks in when I get home, get a rest... (sitting down) when I get my rest outside (like in church) it gets kinda lazy to go anywhere else.
    Well, that is NOW.
    Im still getting used to the gimicks.
    Im tryna lesson why gimmicks after work esp when I know Im working the next day.
    It sucks to compromise sometimes because you wanna catch up with your friends, get something to praise yourself for a welldone-job... but you have to go home, get enough sleep, or else, you'd be a bummer at work. A total dreamer. You don't wanna be in that condition at a Starbucks working environment. NEVER. Or rather, in any job you're in.
    There goes the expectations again... and wanting to be better to where you're in now.
    (ya know, like moving up the ladder... becoming a manager or more :) )

    • Spending
    I am still learning to save my money instead of taking cabs xp

    • Health
    I mean FOOD and EXERCISE.
    Eesh.... I have to EAT ON TIME and EXERCISE...
    gotta stop the bad habit of not eating and goin to work on the dot.
    The hunger pang gets me real quick and I rely on water or milk to keep that off.
    When I get to have my break, I eat more than the required meal for that time cz I tend to go on:
    Brunch and Lunchner.
    Again, not good.

    Exercise...
    Ive cancelled my California Fitness Membership...
    Im still waiting for the confirmation... ahaha.
    I can still go this month...
    but er... the first thing that comes to mind is "tired", "lazy", "extra baggage."
    And that's not good.
    I've leant that it actually perks me at work the next day.
    Im more efficient and more than on top of the job requirement.
    Gotta be more confident though on going alone cz Im not used to that yet, boohoo!

    I'll end it here.
    Im tired already. Im helping tmrw at work for a missing shift required.

    Nanyt everybody!
    Seize Life! GOdblessYou!

    Hello=) 8:34 PM

    Heya!
    It's been a while since I blogged.
    Each time I get online I end up with either Email, Facebook and Youtube.
    I went back to writing back to my diary.

    Updates. Quickie ones.
    Orchard Road is once again lit up.
    It'll be nice to take pics down the road=)
    Oh yea, Ive already got pics and they're all at Facebook.
    I got tagged. so go checked them out esp when ur away from town. lol.
    hassle free.

    Ive been confirmed. 14th Nov 09.
    I'm tryna sleep early.
    Im trya be home early. lol.
    Im tryna stop taking cabs everywhere I needa/wanna go.
    I need a new piggie bank. Atm is too tempting since Im usually out.
    Ive to start eating healthy. Eesh... Im starting to abhor eating out. Same old choices.
    2012 is a good movie.
    I've been attending cheer parties and I got goodies.
    Last Monday at Citylink I got balloons, lotsa chocolates cz they throw cadbury chocs at you when you get to answer their questions after the "coffee seminar."
    I got a goodie bag containing Sb's 2 lollipop flavors, cherry and lemon.
    A bell, mini musical instrument, a girly smiley face (cz its with lashes) and a 12oz free beverage coupon=)
    I got the Creative mp4 player fixed but when I got home to checked, its still the same.
    Essh. i gotta get back to Marina.
    I want a new hairdo.

    Today was Or's cheer party.
    I got a gift for answering a charade qn correctly. hehe.
    i bet that's a tumbler. awesome gift.
    I got vouchers too. Another 12ozfree beverage coupon and a $5 voucher for the Christmas Retail=)
    Ofcourse, fond memories=D
    We took lotsa pics. I hope to get tagged again at Facebook.

    Another reason why Im not updating is cz Facebook does it.
    My frens take pics and I simply ask them to tag me and thats how you know what Im up to.

    Lovelife is cool.
    Im becoming a better person---
    =P

    Sis is at Msia for 3 days.

    I love playing the taptap revenge, rock band in bro's iphone.
    i hope starhub starts to partner with apple. i want one kasi. huhu.

    Fragile 11:47 PM

    (Please Make It As A Song...)

    So I managed to write this. wala lang...
    It reminded me of the day when I wasn't feeling good...
    the following is what I felt...
    Partly, the inspiration came from Sara Bareilles gravity song,
    and the challenge was from him... (you know who you are. thanks.)

    ----

    Fragile


    I was fragile for a day

    The day I thought I’m out of love,

    You’ve set me free

    It left me at dazed


    Broken pieces I held onto

    Clinging onto them as if complete

    Treating you like the same,

    Nothing’s changed, always there


    Yet I drown in aches of reality

    I see couples like the way we used to be

    I lost you, I needed to move on, and bid our love a due.


    Something always brings me back to you

    It never takes too long


    Your ways are customized in my life

    I wished I could make it better

    Wished you’d tailor me back

    Take my fragility and accept us

    ‘Cause we’re stronger as we face the world together


    I love you

    and I know,

    you still feel the same way too.

    Accomplished!! ^_^ 6:56 PM

    So I had this worst schedule of my life ever.
    a straight 7am-4pm of straight 5 days which
    ended up with an overtime cz I ended up with every shift at 5pm+. (except today=))
    ggraaaaaaaaaaaabeh.

    well, im thankful anws...
    It thought me to force self-discipline again. haha.
    To learn to handle time management in order to get
    full rest for an expected 10hours shift of a busy busy store.
    grabeh.

    grabeh talaga.
    Work and home lang ako. I cant go anywhere.
    I had to restrict my fun life, my "getting a life."
    Nevertheless,I got to go to church with my fam yesterday. =)

    I am so blessed;
    despite the 3rd day of being down with partner,
    manager being late,
    partners late (like meh den)
    I managed to learn from this experience and trust in God=)
    I love praying in the morning, trusting in Him and
    at the end of the day, I just feel accomplished. =)
    To end 5 days of hardwork and pain I had to go through,
    (the store is a gym, not a service ground.
    I had a sprained neck with all the fun we did [putting ice inside in each other's shirt],
    back ache with all those heavy cutleries, plates and mugs,
    I had lil cuts on my hardworking hands and 3 scars from the hot oven. sheeeee---)
    I earned an extra 15 bucks hari raya haji green packet
    with all clean, spanking green 5bucks notes=)

    woohoo!!! off ko bukas! yehey!!!!
    this week is a good week. i get the mid shifts..
    no pastry-case/bar setting up.
    no trash run, change trash and frap works=)
    also, no busy n hectic long queue early in the morning=)
    I Gotta teach mah sisters english, math and science.
    part time teacher rin ako.

    I got the FDC shirts ordered na! yehey!
    i miss the dancing and and the crew

    Saw the Istana was opened to the public today
    as I made my way to work...
    well, Ive never been there for the past 11 years.
    ahaaa..

    Hava good week y'all!
