Yesterday was a very stressful day. I came home late because of extended meeting for the AVP project (work-related). And today, here i am in the Congress office, alone again. As usual, its writing, writing, writing messages of my boss for the annual general assemblies of cooperatives. There were lots of requests i attended to and requests are still coming.
I want to go to the field, join campaign sorties so i could also see the beauty of nature especially in provinces where air is fresh and unpolluted. I wanna see greenery, hills and beaches probably. In short, i wanna shoot :D
Please take me out of the hot metro!

Overwhelming responsibilities
It’s more than I can take (sigh!)
Oh yeah, you got it right; that’s an expression of weariness and despondency. All aspects of my life require me to be strong (or at least to pretend to be strong, hopeful and happy ) but inside, the pain and unease run deep.
The trigger was pulled and here I am ranting, seeking for people who could understand me. And I am happy that they are there for me to extend moral, emotional and even financial support. This is the positive side, you find out who really are your friends for without even asking, they give you and tell you what others wouldn’t. They are the people who know me and whom I trust and shared myself with. I love them.
On Career
You hoped that somehow your efforts will be rewarded or at least be recognized. But you have just learned that it is just another exploitative world. They milk out the best in you; they grab your youth and kindness. You are left in the dark for no good. And you, because you want to learn and discover new things and be the one you are --professional, civic minded, and driven – you do more than what is required from you. That’s because you are used to volunteerism and charity work. Just pray that you’ll not reach the state of being burnt out that soon or you’re out.
On Family
You do love your family and so you voluntarily assumed responsibilities that you could have dismissed early on because you have your own life to build. Your two younger brothers who are both in college depend on you. And here comes enrolment and you are compelled again to shell out money for their tuition and allowances. You love them and you believe that the best investment is on education and on people (not on material things) so you do it without hesitation. But in times of great need, when you yourself are in the verge of financial bankruptcy, you feel the overwhelming responsibilities in your shoulders. You want to develop yourself too, enter graduate school and invest in your future. So you bear the most difficult situation of enrolment blues (made even more miserable by the long process of salary disbursement).
On love
You’ve invested so much in your relationship hoping that it will see a happy ending. But everything is hanging now. You lost interest in the so-called ‘next level’ and shifted your priorities in your studies, work and social life (friends). You waited and dreamt of the most momentous event but failed to realize it. And so you’re infuriated and now confront a cloud of doubt.
You just love challenge, don’t you? So be strong! Be happy and be thankful to God that you made it to graduate school (MA at UP-NCPAG). You can now start weaving and reuniting your dreams...

Wasted
It's past 12am, I'm tired and actually sad. My Lord, I'm leaving it all to you. Please continue to guide me, especially in times like this when I don't know what to do. Things aren't going right in here. :(

Free flow
I am exerting an extra effort to fight stress that might lead to depression. So i wanna enjoy life with my friends, office mates, housemates and even acquaintances. Cheerful every minute this girl wants to be (even in times of confusions and sadness).
I spent my weekend with my highschool friends who are now all professionals in their respective fields. My bessy Liezl celebrated her 26th birthday so it was a perfect time to bond. Life has never been happy before... Bonding of mature people is more meaningful and enjoyable.
I so miss time with my high school friends, the laughter, the playfulness, the chickas and the sweetness. They are my brothers and sisters who know me so well. I trust them and they trust me. That is why, I wasn't ashamed to share my true feelings and predicaments with them. And because of that, i had the least share of the SanMig light and Weng-weng hehehe =) Dinadaan ko daw kasi sa kwento! :) Well, im not a party girl really. I just wanna enjoy time with my friends whom i wasn't able to spend happy and troublesome times with for years.
Last Monday, I had dinner with QC Timers. It was another fun for updates and just hanging out (originally intended for the one who is facing a big problem but did not come). As usual, i went for the kwento and laughter.
In the office, we are having nice times as well. I am not this open for talks about certain topics but I don't know why a door in my mind and heart is now receptive. Maybe it's part of growing up or I am comfortable with my officemates perhaps. Whatever the reason, be it. It's an outlet for respite and relief =)
My life now is a free flow; and i'm enjoying it. I can live alone happily because there are so many people who care about me and who will share my problems and worries whenever they challenge me.
To God be the glory!

Dawning insanity
Work left and right. Stress up and down. Action north, south east and west. Craziness dawning :(
Did i get it right? Yeah, i love my work but i don't love stress. But stress comes with lots of work and concerns. So the equation is uncontestable. Oh life! No time for love :D
I want to do better in my work, fulfill my responsibilities and prove to myself (not to them) that it is worth the stress I'm getting.
It is Friday. I'm going to NATCCO office to assist the team of Mam Jocelyn Salcedo, Editor in Chief of PROfile magazine, in their photoshoot. They interviewed my boss last night at Congress. And today, Cong Paez will be interviewed on-air at DZRM Radyo Magasin.
After arranging a series of media exposures for Cong Paez, my primary employer, Im also thinking of Cong Ping-ay's share.
We are conducting a photo exhibit at Congress on Oct 26-29, so we're also preparing for that. Haven't started collecting/writing articles for our newsletter's maiden issue. Am continuously coordinating media activities with local coordinators. AVP, jingle, stickers, tarps....wheww...
I can only wish so much. Help me God!

The inspiring new world
My work starts at 8am and ends at 7pm. Yeah, at Congress we follow the compressed workweek style. So we save Friday for our personal moment, in addition to the normal weekend. I do work on Fridays at home but the feeling is relaxed since I have my own time. In the mornings of my work days, I don’t have to fight with the annoying sound of alarm clock just so I could be on time for work. Oh well, we don’t have bandy clock. And there’s nobody who calls the roll hahaha (unlike before!).
Though I always don’t get to the office at exactly 8:00am, I bid every day with a great feeling of accomplishment, for job well appreciated, though unstated.
In the office, we are our own boss. If you don’t work, it’s up to you. If you do, then, great. Of course, I choose the latter. We do have a boss who tells us what to do but doesn’t man us 10 hours a day. He knows we are doing our work and he trusts our ability to perform our duties well if not best. He believes in our capacities and that’s the most important I may say.
From time to time I go to the Coop-NATCCO partylist office at Project 4, QC for meetings or for other extra curricular works like packing relief goods. We are not compelled but we do. In the cooperative world, you don’t have to wait to be requested but initiate. That’s the spirit of cooperation and team work.
I meet a lot of people from different places and I do enjoy conversing with them. They are kind and professional in their works and they respect each other. I love the environment I am in today. Thanks to QC Times which made way for me to know about Coop-NATCCO.
Looking forward to more learning experiences!
