Beautiful Soul

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!
