ka-ching!

raket..raket...raket = ka-ching! ka-ching! ka-ching!
pero in fairness...mahirap na masarap talaga maging freelancer. At least, hindi ako tali sa isang company. I can choose projects na gusto kong gawin at higit sa lahat non-taxable ang bayad! hahaha. KA-CHING! talaga! Pero naman...nakakaloka kung biglaan ang pag pasok sa isang project. Just what I've been doing right now with a consultancy firm na contractor ng isang telecom company. Nakaka loka lang! You need to remember a lot of names based on their database, and i have to be familiarized with them all! masakit sa ulo...pero I'm getting the hang of it kahit last Tuesday afternoon lang ako nag start working with the team. masaya. I'm learningnew things, lalu na in handling management. at least, bagong exploration...

ANATHEMA(28th Season: 1st Major Prod)

Anong kaya mong gawin para makamit ang iyong kagustuhan?
Kaya mo bang ipaglaban ang tinitibok ng iyong puso?

Saan ka dadalhin ng iyong pangarap?
Hanggang kailan mo kayang kumapit sa iyong inaasam na bituin?


Tatagal ka ba sa isang mansiyon ng isang daang araw
na ang iyong mga kahilingan ay abot-kamay?
NGUNIT nagkukubli sa bawat silid ang
mga kasinungaling at pagkukunwari?


Ito ang kuwentong sasalamin sa tunay na drama ng buhay.


Ito ang...


Villa Anathema! Ang Casa ni Mudra!
Baka isa ka na sa anim
na tagapagmanang
hinahanap ni Mudra.

Pasok na!

August 7 Entry (Diary Based)

After admitting to myself that I've sinked into depression for quite sometime, and lucky enough I was able to fight it over, and now finally, I've won.

After regaining my lost strength, here comes another obstacle. The fact that I am moving on with my life, especially with my career, here comes another misery.

With everything that is going on in my life, I have learned a great lesson in life that eventhough something is pulling me back, I should not loose sight of what's coming ahead of me. In short I must forge on. Don't retreat, Don't surrender (just like the army's code) But Battle on...Speaking of which, got this line from Harry Potter book 6, as Dumbledore told Harry: "We must try not to sink beneath our anguish but battle on..." With these words in mind and heart I march forward with a stronger mind, a stronger heart and a stronger soul. Another thing I've learned was it is ok to cry. Crying is a form of emotional release not a sign of weakness.

June 11 Entry (diary based)

I wrote this last June 11, 2008. During the time I am so down. And thanks to my friends who supported me and helped me through this ordeal

June 11, 2008
I've been acknowledging this lately. I think I am slowly sinking into depression. Ewan ko, I've been battling this for about a week now. Sa ngayon, super unexplainable ang feelings ko. A lot of my super closest friends told me not to go there, but I really can't help it. I think this is out of frustration. Saan? Maraming factors. Life in general -- Family, Work, Love, Friends, Career.
Reasons. Well basically at the moment, my life sucks! To the nth power yan. I feel so useless...
Family, kasi lately I am having a rough time with my mom and sister - sino bang hindi nagkakaroon ng problema sa pamilya? Kasi with them around me 24/7, feeling ko wala akong kwenta. They always and it never fails to make me feel worthless. Parang I am the "blacksheep" of the family. I am always the problem. In short laging ako ang may sala kapag nagkakaroon ng away especially between me and my sister.
Work. Just because I am protecting my rights as an employee by the case I've filed, naging persona non grata ako. I think nagkaroon ng stigma against what I did. I felt nobody is hiring me because of it.
Career. As of now, I am so lost! I'm not sure what path I want to go to. I know Advertising is a very cunning industry. I thought I was prepared and I am doing well, but I was wrong, Totally Wrong! Na truama ata ako for the last few months because of my ordeal with the industry, yung nangyari sa akin, nagdulot siya ng isang malaking dead-end sa buhay ko.
Love. Kasi I'm in a relationship na hindi ko gaanong nararamdaman. I am trying to turn to him as my pillar of strength but I felt he is bailing out on me. I always make excuses about sa ugali niya, na ganun talaga ang nature niya, na he doesn't seem to care but he really does; na he doesn't know how to show emotions. That's it
Friends. Kasi I feel yung iba umiiwas sa akin, especially yung mga dating kong kasama sa office. ewan. Tapos I just found out from a very good friend of mine since elementary that some people from the media advertising industry is talking nasty behind my back. They are making fun of me and making malicious accusation like manggagamit ako, na I am resigned na daw I am still attending trade shows, FYI to those people, I haven't resigned from my post not until JUNE 12, 2008. And before you say anything about me, try to know what happened first. Para at least may definite basis kayo ng pinagsasabi nyo. I though you were my friends because we came from the same alma mater and I've known you back then at we've been together in the same organization.
I think that's it! That's what brought me here, in this kind of state. Closest friends of mine are telling me that I'll pull through this, that they have their faith in me. But what about my family, my love, do they have same faith on me? I feel so alone. I can't help but cry. Kelan kaya matatapos lahat ng ito? I know I have and I need to do something. But how? Paano ako magsisimula muli? At saan ako magsisimula. Where will I pick up my life? Sana nga makaalis na ako sa ganitong kalagayan...dahil kung hindi...EWAN...

that's it. People this blog is back then. Today is a different thing. I am just sharing this to the people I love and I am thanking those people who helped me face this stage. I love you all.

back at one

Its been a while...

Now I'm moving on with my life and as I do this it feels like I'm back at stage one. I am slowly picking up the pieces of my life after my untimely resignation from my previous post in an advertising agency. If people are wondering what's the reason behind my sudden resignation after working there for three years, bear with me, I am still in the process of "cleaning" it up; I'll going to tell it all after its done and I'll be happy to close that chapter in my life, as of now, it is still hanging somewhere.

Going back with my "moving on" stage. I know there's a cliche that before you move on with your life you should settle everything first, but with my case, it's the other way around. I need to move on first, it's now or never. So, that's what I've been doing lately. Just got a job from a contact center in Makati; it's a starting point for me. For others, its a fall back, nevertheless this job I got will be my bread and butter and will help me make both ends meet. At least, I will no longer be a jobless, moneyless gal. And also with this company, I'll be paid for every seconds, minutes and hours of job that I'll be rendering, and overtime and night differential pay as well.

As of now, I'm contented with what I have and what I'll be having in the next months. It's a starting point for me. A second serving of what is installed for me. And I'll be making the most out of this. I promise.
