New Year's lists

May this new year bring forth peace, love, joy to me and my family and friends. May it bring to us riches that I couldn't ever imagine. Finally, to find work even though not waiting for employment. Friendships formed and older ones cherished. Goals accomplished. Mission made. Love hungered and given. God be with all mankind!

Your travels in life

Life goes on. Sometimes, there are ups and sometimes, there are downs. Sometimes you feel you're stuck in the middle and you don't know how to find your way. I guess, there is always God to help you. When you don't know what is happening now in your life and where will it turn, sometimes you just have to trust God's guiding hand and wisest decision. Sometimes, you look for what is the meaning of life and you guess whether it is in career or in love or family. I'd rather that God has a will for you and you just follow it or act on it. God gives the toughest of tests and sometimes you wonder whether you can handle it or not. Sometimes, you don't know where to get your energy, in what goals. Sometimes, you wonder what life really meant and how you are so unique that God gave you the life you have. Me, I always ask if life is just about making money? If so, then you can't do anything without money. In a day, you have to eat. And most of life's commitments concern money making. You still have to find your way as you go through life.

The Hand of God

People's lives are a result of what they do but primarily because of God's will. No matter how you plan for your life there will always be surprises that come your way and problems to test your faith in God. You couldn't plan and stick to it in the strictest sense. God will always have a hand in it. You just need to ride along the tide.

The Most Important Thing in the World

People are born in the world not of their own choice but just because it was the grand design of things. I guess the most important thing in the world is what it makes go round - love. People go hungry in the streets. Some are dead because of unwanted reasons. People just make do with what they have and available. People want to be happy. And so, I'd like to encourage the people of the world to give a little love to people. You don't know how far that can go.

Ways of getting rich

People need to work to eat food. In this life one needs to find a source of living he can manage so that he can buy the things the he needs in life. People do it differently. There are actors, there are athletes, politicians, secretaries, white collar and blue collar job workers in all kinds of industry in the world. It all depends on your choice. Kanya-kanyang diskarte sa buhay. It all depends on your strategy. What's important is that you find what you need in your life. And you do something worthwhile in your time here on earth.

To be busy with

I was wondering what people do nowadays. I guess they still do the same stuff like going out on movies, dining out, going to malls and sales and working. Add to that surfing the net and joining social networking sites and getting their news tidbits from the net. Some people are in school. Some people are working. Some have their families. Others busy themselves with family affairs. Some go out with friends. It just goes on. To be out right now in gimmicks you gotta have at least a thousand bucks to splurge. Where will you get that if you don't have work. Sometimes you go out just to be out and to enjoy the world and that has a cost too. The truth is you can't do much if you don't have money. I was sometimes wondering how people could afford things. Why people go to malls? Why people sometimes eat at Sbarros and others eat at McDonald's. How they afford to shop? Where do people get their money. I sometimes think that those who have less high standard in their education have something more than me. The only thing that's happening right now I think are the call centers, but how about the graduates of other courses or those who aren't fluent enough to be call center agents? How will they get jobs? Sometimes you will get jobs but you find it lacking in interest and you wonder if you really are using your talents enough just to do a job. Is it anymore enriching? I am searching and sometimes I don't know where to search. I hope I find my answers. I believe that every problem has a solution. Before, I thought going back to school would give me the job that I wanted. Unluckily, that hasn't happened. What makes you hirable? Where can you get the job that you love? There are so many people in the world today and you're just hoping to find your niche. One thing I have discovered, I love writing that's why I am doing this blog. It makes me feel alive. But there's something missing. I have to find a way to make money out of writing. In other avenues. So that I can keep up. So that I can say that I have a job. And so that I can bring something home.

The difficulty of not having something to do

The opportunities in this country I think are not enough. Maybe, I am trying at the wrong channel. I only apply for jobs, maybe I am not looking for a career. I was wondering how others made it. How others became actors or athletes or artists or writers. They must have made the right moves and now they are reaping their rewards. I am not finished looking. Everyday is a search. Maybe what I would do is to try other avenues, extend my horizons, build new friendships and cherish the old ones. Maybe in my search, I will find something that I love to do. Something I can make money from. And not just search for a job.
