Exhausted!

I had never been more exhausted in my entire life. I had always thought that I would thrive under severe stress, but when the stressor includes lack, anxieties about the future, much too many disappointing encounters or protracted plans, and the notion that you have just way too many backlogs, anyone going through all the things I am going through would normally crumble. And I guess, for once, I am finally normal. Because I crumbled. I was not used to having a "day" job. Neither was I used to needing to fragment my days into chunks/blocks of time just so I could get things done. Neither are my feet used to doing all that walking, after so many months. Thus, my pretty and soft feet are now breeding calluses, after needing to walk all those miles just to be able to gather the requirements for compliance for my new “day” job. So after a week of erratic sleep, mishandled commitments and so much more, I finally went ballistic last night. Well all the stress of working in a highly structured environment such as a call center just got to me, and I finally crumbled. But not before two tumblers worth of Nescafé coffee sent me over the edge.

This had been an emotional January for me. I had broken up with my fiance just the other week, and to be honest, I didn't really feel much pain. Just intermittent jabs of missing him. And one of those moments passed me just a few eternities ago. Yes, like any other woman who bleeds when the love of her life is taken from her, I bled too. But on the days when I didn’t feel the pain, the loss and the longing so much, I realized that I didn’t get to feel all that because... I had the ultimate source of Love.
To continue yesterday’s article on 2008 being the Year of Getting Real, here are the four other major world upheavals predicted to happen this year by a select group of marketers, activists and cultural anthropologists. Green year Green will be the color of the year. This is quite evident already in many of the malls where you can see displays in the cool radiant glow of this color of nature. This is probably because of the all too pervasive effects worldwide of global warming – as brought to our consciousness by Nobel Peace Prize winner Al Gore, the former ...
As the year comes to a close, I would like to do something cliché: be thankful for the past year. :) So while you await the fireworks and I sleep them away, I would like to say my piece just before the year ends. Oprah is always big on the gratitude memes and she encourages people to make it a point to be thankful. It has virtue in it, because after I recount how thankful I am for things, events, people, realizations, etc., in my life, I forget my pains and complaints. I realize that life is good after all, and that all in all, I am a fortunate, blessed person. I may not seem like that to some people, but the fact that there are things I can be thankful for after all makes me realize that life is truly worth looking forward to living each day. :) So without further ado, let me start...
Have you ever been followed by a street child to be bullied into giving your drink or food or throwing pennies their way? In these parts, it’s nearly normal to be persuaded into giving something to these poor scruffy kids, even if it's against your will, sometimes.
While supermassive black holes are fattening themselves with their steady diet of cosmic meals, a theft of cosmic proportions is taking place in a galaxy far, far away, in an effort to claim the fountain of youth. Yes, Virginia, it’s just like someone is stealing your supply Glutathione, a nutrient recently advertised as the solution to looking young. NASA announced that it has located a massive galaxy that is stealing a billion suns’ worth of gas from a smaller galactic neighbor. In space, gas is a hot commodity. Really hot. In this case, about 1,340 degrees Fahrenheit (730 degrees Celsius). ...
Remember this rabbit? Reading has always been a favorite past time of mine. My childhood was spent reading classics, Enid Blyton and all those Nancy Drew books I inherited from my mom. Having playmates weren't my thing and my parents never allowed me to leave the house. However, if there's one thing I'm grateful for, it's that the whole family has a love for books in general. Unlike other kids, I looked forward to reading and writing. Recently, I stumbled upon a blog that suggested reading children's books is also good for adults. According to Jen Robinson's ...

On My Own

Remember the Les Miserables song “On My Own”? This, I imagine, must be the anthem of those who are transitioning from University to finally moving out and becoming a working person. While I am a big fan of independence, I must say that going on my own was no easy task. I have had to struggle with paying the rent, with paying for my utilities like the DSL (broadband) and the electricity, and the daily living expenses were no joke to shoulder. Because of my spending habits, I have had to put up with going hungry. But more than that, I have ...
Tourism-wise, the Philippines is known for its beaches. Hundreds of tourists, foreign and alike, fill airplane seats and hotel reservations as soon as vacation season sets in. However, there is certainly more to this archipelago than just white sands and palm trees. While Philippine beaches are truly nature's wonder, this tropical country has more to offer. With its rich culture and history, one might be surprised just how much of the real Philippines is left out. It was while channel surfing when the name Carlos Celdran was first introduced to me. He was shown on television, taking tourists to Quiapo ...
In a short span of time, social networking websites seem to have taken over the internet. MySpace, for example, is considered the world's sixth most popular English-language website and the third most popular website in the United States, according to Alexa Internet. We all know how these websites work. There are profiles, groups, friends, photos, music, videos and other stuff to upload and share with others. The concept of these websites is amazing and applicable to all sorts of people. No wonder other people take the idea and innovate it to their own liking. For those who are looking for ...
