Making a Small Effort

“I’ll do it later”, I still have time...”, “I don’t feel like doing...” these were some of my favorite lines before. I remember those times when I kept hanging things until the last second. There were things that I have to do but I just piled them up, and before I knew it, a whole lot of things were waiting for my attention. How did I overcome this attitude? I am not saying I did overcome this 100% but almost halfway, hahaha. Let me share with you how I did it. I started to make an effort to do little things on a daily basis. I had to stick a note on my computer to remind of the things that I have to do for each day, be it personal, household chores, and paper works like checking and recording my students’ activity worksheets/formative& quarterly tests,, whew! I had to get things done right away. Sometimes when I am so tired, I tried to work everyday so to ensure that I don’t have lot of things to do at weekends. Making an effort, no matter how small like “things to do list” helps in cutting short the superwoman effort that I might need later.

Time Out

What a stressful day!!! I have been absorbing negative forces from people around me. Pressures are starting to bug me and making me emotionally imbalance, waaahh. But just like any movies, somebody would always be there to save your day. A friend invited me to go out. We went to a nearby bar. Oooppss..not that I will get drunk but will do something different.

I only had a bottle of light beer while playing Keno. Not winning for 6 draws I have to stop and my friend challenged me to play pool. The last time I played pool was in College, nowadays, I only play pool online and I am winning,lol..So having that confidence I accepted the challenge.

We had three games and I didn’t win. Guess, this is not just my lucky day at all. well, even I didn’t win in playing Keno and pool, staying at the bar helped a little to vent some pressures in me. Most probably, I would have to add playing pool in my weekly activities. Wish me luck next time.;)

A Glimpse of Myself

I’m just a simple person who's always dreaming of having simple life but that doesn’t mean that I don’t dream BIG;). When faced with pressures, I would choose to smile & laugh instead to fret and frown, though there are also times that I would stay in the bedroom to cry but not like of a baby, I just sobs and lots of deep breath ('dont think Im becoming one of the most noted characters of Rizal's Noli Me Tangere-->Sisa,lol) I love being with my family, my kids, my friends, my guitar and with my computer;)

I am a sensitive person and I am easy to get along with. I may be quiet the first time I met a person but once I get started I can have great conversations. I am good listener and a good shock absorber as well. There are times that I would boldly show what I feel and speak what I think. I’m always eager to hear other people stories and their lessons in life.

When it comes to music I am into oldies, country, and acoustic songs. When I feel lonely and feel like I want to express what's inside me, I would grab the microphone and would just sing along with my feelings and moods and dance the loneliness away.

Sometimes, I wouldn't allow myself to do things that I feel invading my values and principles BUT then I would realize that I need to experience other things and not deprive myself because I am a hundred % human. At the end, weigh those experiences and learned from them.

When I was a kid I used to spend time lying down at the roof of our house and stargazed there, till my mom would call me,;). At daytime, I would draw clouds. It really gave me a comfort feeling whenever I got the time to witness the rising and setting of the sun.;)(deep sigh) wish I can still do those things nowadays;)
