Hard-earned Lessons

I know. I know. I should be posting my thoughts here regularly. But well, I guess things have been outright busy. Anyway, so much things has happened.

I finished a book at Powerbooks (without having the need to pay! heehee), my family's had a confrontation ending to our present situation where my mom and dad decided to just be civil with each other (but I do hope we'll be able to go back to how we were then, this house seems to be empty without our constant laughter and talks). Oddly, I miss my dad though he's always around the house. I almost gave up with my work, attended the oriental series (organized by brownraise org), and decided to give my job a chance..AGAIN (thanks to the insights provided by the talk). I decided I wanted to go back to school and pursue Asian Studies (in Diliman, of course). It's my way of living up to Rizal's legacy to never stop learning. Well, just to realize its too late for me to enroll for the coming semester (like I have the money to enroll anyway..hehe). So what I do? I registered at an online language tutorial (http://www.livemocha.com) and teach myself how to speak Korean.

There. I summarized all the happenings for the past weeks since I last logged in.

It was indeed a rough ride. Life's been tough. But life, as I realized, along with the waves embeds a certain mark of maturity and lessons. Marks we'll never be able to achieve from a smooth-sailing ride.

I learned to :

- SAVE - always prepare for a rainy day. Or a storm. No one knows when it'll come. And its good to know where your hard-earned money goes.

- ORGANIZE - Aside form the big 3 things I never leave the house with (wallet, ID, and cellphone), I now add my planner and a handy notebook with me EVERYDAY. It keeps me focused. And since I daydream and think a LOT, it helps me keep track of my ideas.

- be PROACTIVE - I now am planning for my future. So I'm partnering with fellow
business-minded friends in coming up with the perfect business plan. Do hope we'll be successful *fingers-crossed*
