Take a hint: What would have been your course in life?

I am forever acknowledging that fact that I am an accountant. But I hated it so much, it stuck. For the longest time, I have been applying to accounting job openings but to no avail, I am always unsuccessful in it. Honest to goodness, I don't know what God wants of me. If this is not for me then, at least can He give me another thing, something else to get my hands busy with, for blessings to overflow to me? My taking up accounting is just one side of the puzzle. It is already a given. But to insist on it is something else. I think it is a mistake to insist on it. It is like a violation of my heart. A violation of my mind, my spirit. If it weren't for the money, I would definitely be writing. If I have food on the table all the time, I would be writing. I would be writing about people what else? That is the most interesting thing to write about. I would be writing blogs, and scripts and books and cds. I would definitely be a writer.

But since money is involved, I was always wondering if business would be a given. I know my interest in business is somehow involved in my study of accounting. Sometimes, it has the same feeling as doing accounting that is why I question myself if business is really my passion.

Maybe, i could find other jobs that are equally rewarding financially like playing billiards or taking acting jobs. But that's all I could think of. I better decide if I am still gonna do it. Sooner. Not later. Time is ticking. Anyway, I would like to think that I have all the time in the world to do and accomplish my dreams. But I guess there are certain things that can be hard to do when you're much older so I have to think about that too. Anyway, goodluck to me again. And goodluck to all who are chasing their dreams in this life.

Goodluck to being a writer.

Goodluck to being a businessperson.

Goodluck to being an athlete.

Goodluck to being an actress.

To count the change

I still count the change. For me a peso or 5 pesos can go a long way like for tricycle fares or gulaman from a siomai kiosk or the change of 5 pesos in a purchase of clothes or other necessities in a mall. I count the change. 1 peso can go a long way like if the cheapest food I can buy is still affordable by my wallet. I like change coz as they say if there's no change there is no 1 peso and there will be no 100 pesos.

With change, I can buy my favorite newspapers and siomai or a candy bar or bottled juice drink. With change, I can still go home to my family without running short of money. There's so much I can do with change that I am thankful that God gives me change to spend. Could you imagine, 200 of those loose peso change amounts to my daily allowance to go to a mall for three to four hours, not even a whole day. That's how expensive it is to go out nowadays, so it is very important to find a job that will give you those change to spend .

I know I am guilty. I want to earn big. Sometimes, I am not content with change when it comes to earnings. But maybe, I can change my philosophy on that. Maybe, from now on I can start acknowledging change as income. Maybe, I can sell processed meat, rtws, perfumes, car shampoo. Just some of my ideas. I just don't know how to start them because my mom would never (ever) go into business with me. Just because she doesn't like business. For her, business is like gambling, a bad vice or habit to quit. She's got a negative thinking about business. She foresees the problems and never acknowledges the earning potential. She's forever the employee. And so, we'll never come into terms with each other. I am the businessminded type but can't seem to start anything, maybe because I lack money, I lack the exposure, I lack partners. That would be my downside. But if I have money, I would definitely be in business. I hope I do not lose all the opportunities just by waiting in vain for the one opportunity. There is no perfect condition to start a business, you just go to start one. I hope I can start one soon. I hope I can keep my word in this blog.
