Thoughts Before I Turn 31

Today is my 31st birthday, seems special but it's just ordinary day, no celebration, not even a greeting from a person I expected.But I'm still thankful, another year has come and hopefully more years will be coming. Just finished reading the book the Alchemist and realizes the things written by the author also applies to me.But like the main character I guess deep inside me though I know my personal legends my fear is bigger than what I thought. I will read this book again until I have enough courage to do what Santiago did.

Christmas eve is coming, for the Christian world it's the best time of the year.But what is the real meaning of Christmas?For some it's the gift or material things, for some it's the family being together, for some it's the gift of love. But what if you are alone and you don't have a family to call your own or friends are far away and you have no one to spend it but a lonely bed and some pillows or blanket? Tell me what you can say and what is Christmas for you.

There's time for everything,but as humans we tend to do things in our own way. It's our nature to do what we want, when we want it and how we want it. It's common to everyone and when things go wrong we get frustrated and blame ourselves.But there's nothing we could do no matter how sorry we felt because we already did it anyway. However there are times we try to do it religiously asking God's guidance. But even in prayers, we asked God to guide us in making major decisions in life,however we already have a pre - conceived answer to our prayers. That's why if things did not go on our way we complain to Him. Does God really answers our prayer?Yes he answers prayer but in different ways.God has three answers to our prayers. He says "Yes" if he knows that our prayer is his perfect will for us. He says "Wait" if it's good but time is still needed to prepare us for what we ask him. Lastly, he says "No" if it's really not good f...

Tell me your story and I will tell you my story. Tell me your dreams, I will tell you my dreams. Tell me your fears, I will also tell you my fears. Tell me the things that makes you happy, I will also tell you what makes me happy.. Tell me what makes your cry, I will tell you reasons why I also cried. Tell me the reason why you love, I will share mine though it might be sound odd. Tell me the reason why you can't give love. I will tell you reason why you should love. Tell me the reason why you are sad, I will tell you why you should be glad. Tell me the reason why you are mad I also get mad most of the time but that's the funny side of life

Please help me out! It's been quite a long time that I've been thinking about this maybe almost 5 years now, not so long? Well yeah 5 years is a long time but up to this moment I still can't decide on what to do about my career. Should I continue doing what I'm doing right now? Or should I go back to my previous job or profession? To give you an idea for the people who don’t know me personally as of today I'm a CSA or a customer service agent in an outsourcing company better known as call center. Been with this business for 5 years was able to adjust to a past face environment and graveyard shift. Been living as if I’m part of Edward’s family since I am awake at night and I sleep in the morning and I hate seeing the sun feels as if it will burn me. I’m use to this job that requires you to be a multi task person that’s why even if you are just sitting for 9 hours that’s 8 hours phone calls 1 hour break it felt like you’ve been in a marathon. The most exhausting...

--> Is this a choice or a destiny? Oh my! I’m turning 31 comes December 30, 2009 and I’m so single right this very moment. This will be the last year that I can see my age in the so called calendar. Why that is this calendar only contains 31 days? Well blame it to its maker, my body clock is also ticking I should conceive a child at least by age 30 as per my colleague so the child would be intelligent. But I’m turning 31 few days from now and I’m so damn single! How can I have a child then? Am I really worried about it? I guess I’m not, or should I worry about it? If I would assess myself I would say that I’m just starting to enjoy my life as single. I had so many things in the past that I had to do. Responsibility in Filipino culture so to say. I really did not enjoy any of my life’s stages be it in childhood, teenage years or being a young adult or young professional. But I won’t say I regret anything I’ve gone through or I’ve done in f...

A new day has come a new beginning, a new hope and a new challenge to face. It can be a bit discouraging at times, can sometimes make you cry or even gives you no reason to move on. But of all lifes challenges we should still be thankful that we woke up alive this morning with good health, with job and with our family and friends willing to shower us with love and care. We have a new opportunity to correct the mistakes we had in the past.Hoping we do it right this time,wishing and praying that it won't happen again.Or in case the same thing haapen we know how to face and handle it.
