Ideas for life
I seem to be running out of ideas on how to find work. I know I can apply but this seems to be a repetitive activity that I have been doing for the past 12 years and frankly, I'm kinda tired of it. If only rejections would beface me again. Just because my resume looks that way. Just because I had short work experiences which happened while I was young and don't know a thing about staying long in a company. Why do they judge resumes that way? I wish I could say otherwise, but the past ten years of my life has been great and have no complaints except that society seem to oblige people to work and if you have no work they kinda look down on you, at least to some people. I'm gonna continue this article after the Holy Week, cause it seems like complaining and I don't really have anything else to write except my feelings towards my unemployment because you need money everyday. And it affects you if you don't have money everyday because you can't go anywhere without money. I am just wondering, I am no different from the celebrities being shown on tv and yet I don't have work while they continue to dig up money or treasures in this world. I just wonder where I can get my own treasure? If everybody rejected you for 12 years now except the ones that accepted you because of your family, what would you do?As I have said I am just gonna continue this article after Holy Week. I would try to change during the Holy Week and learn more from the recollections, the reflections on tv shows and books to read and maybe have a change of view about life afterwards. Blessed Holy Week!
Holy Week 2010
It's Holy Week 2010. I like Holy Week very much because it reminds me very much of how I used to spend this week in my mother's hometown and just celebrate the week by watching procession of life size statues of saints and other Holy Week activities such as the pabasa, senakulo, stations of the cross, confession and watching movies such as the Redeemer, The 10 Commandments and so on. Things changed now, we don't go home to our hometown anymore during the Holy Week but we just celebrate it in our home and do religious activities and still enjoy tv shows shown during this week. I like it also because this is a week for God and people and the world are just a bit holier and I just wish it would be Holy Week all year round or Christmas. What is very important is that we give a week to Jesus and how He saved mankind and we reminisce this event, our Salvation, in this very week. It is also a time to ask for forgiveness for our sins and just ask for mercy in our lives from God. It is also a time to ask for blessings in our lives, for lives changed and we strive to change for the better as we strive to become like Christ in our dealings in the world we live in. It is also a time for courage to stand up for Christ as we put Him first in our lives and adore Him in this week and strive to be courageous in our lives that we offer to Him. I hope this Holy Week would be as meaningful to all as it is to me and the others who strive to keep their lives holy and live their lives for God.

How to put up a biz
I came across in the internet a principle called The Zero Capital. I wonder how that takes place in order to establish a biz without any capital. I wanted to do such that. I am interested to put up businesses but to ask for OPM or Other People's Money. So far, I haven't found yet any institution or at least haven't talked to any who would be willing to shell out a loan to me for putting up a business. I should find out. The other solution could be to direct sell items to customers. With a very small capital, I can purchase goods and sell them to customers. I can save enough money for capital for a bigger business. I also want to save enough for my education and for lunch money. Plus support my family. I am really interested in money and I hope to learn about it through practical experience and education.

Checking one's progress
It's already March, the third month since my resolutions for 2010. So far I don't have any money making scheme to speak of. But I just went from the Go Negosyo Women's Summit at the World Trade Center and still aspiring to become an entrepreneur. The problem is that I don't have any capital to put in a business. I don't know sales yet. A little, but not enough courage to muster in doing sales. But I have got to find money. I just need to find the break. I need people to be with. Nobody accepts me in jobs anymore. But I am still hoping to do my dream jobs which are writing, acting, and being an athlete. It's just that you wake up in a day and you determined what you can do for the day and you count the money that you have to let you reach what you can reach with that money. It's always either 150, 200 or 300. And ask that money from my mom either once a week or twice a week. How else can I do anything else?
Just read from the Entrepreneur a social entrepreneurship course from Ateneo for four months and it costs P17000. I want to attend. At the start of the school year or whenever it is available. Before I could plan attending law school or any undergrad course or med school. I just wait for job prospects. Now, no more. Even if I wanted to try out call centers, I don't know if I can handle speaking in English for 8 hours straight. I might stutter. Gotta find an association to join like a business community where I could put up business with some partners. I just need to find more money. If I would really be followed I would become a real estate agent and broker, a car agent and study being a mechanic at MFI, a financial agent and set up a company called RSU Products Marketing for marketing various products. I don't know how to do that without money. I just got to find the solutions. Today.

Finding company
In this stage in my life, I want to find more company. Not that the company that I have with my mom is not enough but my heart yearns for more friends. You have spent all your life with your family and I want to meet new people. Maybe I want to meet somebody and more friends too. I guess that's what I'll do. But in the process, I need to have money. In order to have friends. In order to do the things that I want to do. My life is spent being thrifty when it comes to money because I have limited budget. I just wish I'd have more of it. To find company in the work that I will be doing is I think very important to me. I am sort of choosy when it comes to the people that I will be working with. I need to find the right workplace. And I need to trust people. Sometimes, and it does happen wrong associations are created in business. I just want to deal with the right people, somebody I can trust.

Love and connection
Sometimes, I am thinking that love and connection is also dependent on the money that you have. My mom has money, so is my sister. I have no money sad to say but I am trying to figure out why it all happened this way. In the meantime, the social networking sites, the blog, the cellphone, the telephone, the e-mail may cost something to communicate with friends and if you have no money to go out, you cannot go very much to the gimmicks that some of your friends sometimes do. I hope it would be different. I am somehow ashamed that I still need to ask for money but that's how it happened to me and so I have to take what is there for me. I hope having friends would not be dependent solely on how much money you can have just to communicate with your friends. If you have no work, you tend to count the peso and the centavos that you spend on a particular day. You do have to go out sometime. And your life has to push through. Maybe what you need is some clear cut idea on your purpose in life so that you will be blessed by God with riches. May God be with us in this goal of love and connection among people.
Finding out God's will
Happiness can be found by doing God's will. I think happiness becomes perfect when you finally have this perfect relationship with God and you follow His will in your everyday life. What is God's will in your life? Could be a lot of things. But most importantly living a life that is all about love for Him and for others. Sometimes we are forced to see some things by the situations that happen in our lives. With this we need God's guidance. It is important to know God for we need to find out His will for us in our lives. Maybe it is in finding our own families. Maybe starting a purpose in life. Having a wonderful career. Helping out others. We need not be merely reactive to what life gives us but we must find our destiny and create our lives. We must live no matter what, no matter what our problems may be. We should be resilient and ever ready to face tomorrow and learn the lessons of life along the way. Life gives us problems for us to master over them and become better persons along the way. Finding out what is God's will will make us perfectly happy for the desires of our heart is to follow God and be with Him. God is present in others, in our families, in our friends and so we try to have a good relationship with our fellowmen. In that way we are doing God's will. God is present to make our lives full. Let us do God's will.
