A Day with Pedring

Oh Well, today seems to a a great day, I mean, look, it wasn't that dry, get it? anyhow much has been said and done but only one things for sure...PEDRING definitely had his day on!

Today's Signal number 3 down to 2 and finally we were declared signal no. 1.

Classes were definitely suspended for all levels meaning no work for today but, we were all required to report for some urgent matters and preparations...

the whole morning was fine, I mean it was signal no. 3 but the winds were still calm and the rains were still mild. Just when we were about to go home, the winds and the rains suddenly set an outrage which left us stranded and even...devastated.

The waters were rising making all passageway soaked in water, the winds definitely blew-off some decors and signages and worst, trash. Lastly, for us, we were wet, especially me, I even managed to dress-up for work(s) not knowing I would simply end up being soaked in the floods. I even looked ridiculous with the umbrella I just grabbed from the office but never mind that...

All-in-all this was definitely an experience for me since I haven't encountered my workplace in that condition but anyhow...ALL IS WELL.

"Til my next post :-)

Why I chose to be silent for a while (A Disclaimer)

For the past few months, I was definitely...








Silent.



The reason for that is, I was definitely busy. Busy with work, schooling, and of course struggles. I mean, I want to share something online without turning my blog into my own sink of dramas (Even though it usually turns out that way). Plus, I am going to admit that, I have nothing to share nice aside from my new found hobbies but then again, I was just simply not ready to share once more...

But before I start sharing some of my stuff once more let me just pour it all out once more so that I can avoid spilling so much of the drama in my upcoming posts...

Were do we start? well let me just recall, the month of June was definitely still tolerable for me so that means, not much was taking place during that month and all was still...WELL. Then came the month of July, wherein some pains in the asses are arising, meaning much drama, and of course, more flies to my life, more cracks on my walls, and definitely my old resentments are visible once more. And there came the month of August, supposedly it was my month of celebration but this is where it all took place. I finally decided that, I had enough...

Remember during the summer season here in our country? March-May? I was telling you you about how unhappy I am with the way things are taking place in my environment? I am going to admit that I was scared and in denial that I am not happy anymore, but, with the turn of events 27 days before my day, it suddenly hit me...I had enough! I never wanted to give up my job that early but If am going to look at it, I don't want to be selfish to everyone involved that's why I decided to let go of everything.

Although at first it seems hard for me but, as I move along I get to condition myself now. And thanks to God, he never left me alone, they say things come and go, with a loss comes a gain. Who would've thought that in the middle of this, there is this one spec light which will guide me to my new place? Well, that is what I am going to share soon :-)

Well, I guess that's just simply it...for now, can't wait for my next post ;-)

OMG! Last Day of the month of May!!!

Much has been said and definitely Done! Totally! To sum it all up, there were the usual unnecessary dramas, Bad news, and many more to mention that makes this life a little bit of challenging because of its miseries...

The whole month of May could have been very beautiful...

In fact, This month, I was able to find out that, what I was hoping for is no longer a "blissful hope" but a "could have been, should have been, would have been". Also, this month opened my eyes to so many truth about so many things and to sum it all up, I now have a new disposition.

But the good thing about this month though is that, it was somehow "Productive" and "Progressive". If you are going to look at the picture above, you'll see me almost eating my very first HealthCard! I mean, thank goodness for me, I'm the only one who taught of that! Also, Thank Goodness, when I applied for an SS Number, I got a big slap on the Face(Symbolically) to wake me and the whole world that, they have been too unfair to me and now, It's time to make them pay their dues!

I have been very very busy this month that's why, I didn't manage to post regularly. Also, classes starts next week! Meaning, more work, and definitely new Dramas, but it's all good, right? Anyhow, I guess that would be all for now...

Until then again...

Laugh, That's all there is to it ;-)

My "not so well known" Passion/Hobby

Hey! it's been a while since I have once again shared some of my insights...

Well, before I begin, check this out:

I have been through a roller-coaster ride, meaning, I've been through Ups and definitely, Downs. Why don't we start with the "Downs", First, It has been 6 months since I haven't been able to claim some of my compensations (take note, only some), I mean, for some reason, maybe there was this problem and until now, it was not yet solved and we were really affected with it (Come on, that's why we work because, we want to earn and sustain ourselves right?). Although that is still prevailent in my situation right now, that didn't really put me down, not to mention, that situation gave me a hint on something and what I should do next. Also another "Down" moment was that, there are these people who are not really that of a professional, I mean come on, we all have problems but we shouldn't let that affect our professionalism and it's not that I am inconsiderate but, we all have our own loads of problems, and it would be too much for us to carry more problems especially that, they are not that of our own (We totally can't be too nice at times, why? we will be taken for granted of course!). And Lastly, another "Down" was when my e-mail and FB account were hacked at the same time, that did give a bunch of a headache, not to mention many almost believed about what was sent to them via the hacker who used my information...but that was over...I guess...

Now, for the "Ups", well, I felt fulfilled, especially that, I was able to surpass the Summer Training that I facilitated with flying colors! plus my attachment to my students was definitely...PRICELESS! I mean, from the beginning, I was hesitant and definitely not confident on how things will turn-out for that, I was already in doubt but with God's help and some people, we were able to deliver a good training for all. Also, Good vibes, that's another "Up" for me, not to mention some blessings from up above (Thank God for that!), and Finally, the title in this post, My "not so well known" Passion/Hobby.

I am a bit curious at times, I ask myself "How does it feel to create something andd it would be used and be seen by many?" then I ask "What can I create for that?". Well, first thing that I have thought of was...CLOTHES! Although, I was a bit hesitant at first, what If only I could appreciate my design? Then I suddenly realized that, It won't matter if I'll be the only one appreciating that, what matters is that, you could be comfortable and be proud of your work, and with that. I started creating a test design, then bought some fabrics and have it coutured to a tailor nearby our house...

After a week, I was a bit fascinated with the results. Many were attaracted to my design, and many found my shirt Nice/Wonderful. Well, my first-attempt wasn't so bad after all. As of the moment, I will be having another of my concept coutured too, I'll be just giving you an update on that...Again, you may check out the image on my first attempt...

I guess that would be all for now...See you again ;-)

I'm starting get a grip on things...for now

Today's the mark of another end. Today's the end of April, and guess what? a few more weeks and it's totally June!

It had been a month for me, well almost a lot happened, I have gained, and definitely I have lost, well, that's life, and it should somehow be balanced. You can't get new things without losing the others because in a way, life has its way of putting things into balance.

I have to admit that, everytime I hear news or see some of my friends, with the way they enjoy their life or with the way they get what they want, or with how simply lucky they are. I feel that I am left behind, I mean, I feel more envious, insecure, and inferior, but I came in to a realization... Maybe, it's not yet my time. Like what they say, sometimes what's in store for you is being saved and it will be at its grandest when you will have it. So all I am going to do for now is to simply wait. With that, again, they say that, "Good things happen to those who wait".

Also, recently, I'm in rants with my mom. I mean, she wants me to change my job, I can't blame her though, especially when she sees me having a hard time or sad. Good thing she has some backgrounds or let's be honest, connections, but, with what is happening right now, I should now show them them that my current career is not a mistake, maybe there's a reason why I am stuck to where I am right now because, I usually have a glimpse or experience with my dream careers but there's somehing unusual that pulls me back to where I am now, or maybe I should fulfill my words...

Well, this time I know what I want now...It's not money, not pleasure,but FULFILLMENT!

And again, let me just feature another photo of me and some of my friends:

This was actually taken during our R&R and we were all goofing around with my camera and tripod...

We'll I guess that will be all for now...

'Til my next post ;-)

Things as they are...for now :-|

We are about to reach this month's end and so many had happened previously...

I have been very busy definitely... I have reached the point of asking myself, "Do you want this? Can you handle it?" and "What about your promise? your fulfillment?" I was torn, definitely. I mean, in my current situation way back, I barely had anything to keep me going, I was ceasing to exist, and I was definitely, cheated or maybe taken for granted, that's why I had no choice but to look for the greener pasture. My search did become significant in a way, I was called in for an interview, I think the interview went well, and said to wait 3 days after...

During those times, I was happy but at the same time in regret, why in regret? I was torn between something I wanted all along and something I still wish to continue. I was definitely internalizing, weighing things down, maybe I was too angry at the situation that's why I reached to some point were I don't want to be caught in the middle, but I considered asking God for guidance and maybe he will direct to me to where he plans me to be as for the moment, so I indirectly asked for a sign to him. Guess what? God has a good way of directing us and showing us some answers, right?

I was at my sister's simple after grad get-together and I was with my cousins, chit-chatting, exchanging insights, and playing with the kids. On that night, I was ready to go for a firm move to take the road opened and let go of what held me together for the past months, in other words, I was ready to let go of my promise and take on a new chapter, but the the day came for me to receive the verdict, but there was no calls, e-mails, sms, or whatsoever.

I had to admit I was dissapointed or maybe frustrated, and looking back I was like "Just when I was ready to leave, I had to stop once more...". Sometimes, God has a funny way of letting you see through things(I meant that in a good way). I realized, maybe God is telling me that, now's not the right time, and my purpose on to where I am is not yet fulfilled. Right now, as I am typing this. I am feeling sad for some reasons, but happy for I have friends like these at the place where I am right now:

Although they may not be celebrities and all that, what matters to me is that, they are definitely real and easy to be with...

Anyhow, come what may, and I put it all into God's guidance now :-)

The other way around

First things first, I would like to greet you all, Happy April Fools! Today's the first day of April, and so much fooling happened for the moment, I mean, there were those who didn't appear who's supposed to appear and there were those who, have been so deceiving lately and lastly, there were some delays...

Although things are just starting to heat up for this month, let me share to you some things that I have learned on my own, again:

1. Step-out of your comfort zone

2. Just go with the flow (and never anticipate what will go next)

3. Expect the unexpected but not too much

4. Sometimes, you just have to give-in to end discussions

5. Just leave all those stress behind don't mind them (Literally)

6. Pray Until Something Happens

7. Focus, and you'll get there ;-)

8. Do not deprive yourself too much (Moderation is the Key)

9. Be Happy, even once in a while...

10. Patience is a virtue.

Also, Holy week is fast approaching. That means total repention and deliverance. Literally, that actually means no internet, meat, TV shows, and etc...

Anyhow, I just wanted to share that, I'll just update you guys by my next post, also in case you are interested on how I made my featured artwork, tell me and I'll be giving some Tutorials :-)

Well, I think all will end well

It has been a very long week for me, but, with all due respect to everything, I feel much better now, despite the stress from work, and some personal dramas, I feel lighter now. I mean, I'm happier now, I feel alright and somehow, stronger... I think, I maybe a little bit of paranoid, taking things too heavily. But one thing that got me to in a good mood or should I say a good realization is that, my co-teacher told me this: "Magsasaya nalang ako, kahit marami ang mga problema kasi, malungkot ka na nga, malungkot pa ako, wala nang mangyayari sa atin, kaya magsaya ka na rin..." Hearing that, maybe I should give myself a chance, and also maybe I was being too sadistic to myself as well. I don't really have to deprive of myself with hapiness as much as I am already depriving myself with food (I am doing that because I am on a STRICT DIET.). Also, I realized, I am still surrounded with good people in my environment. But let us not forget to keep our guards up, for you may never know... Anyhow, let's just go with the flow and hang-on to our faith maybe in time, All will end well :-)

The countdown begins...Now!

Well, here come's another week, guess what there are five more days before we totally end classes, and that means five more days before I don't see my students regularly or maybe even for good. You see, I have already made-up my mind, and I don't want to be inconsiderate, I have heard some unbecoming of a person from the other side and I have also weighed things down. I have now come to a decision...

I am still walking on thin ice. Also, remembering the conversations in the past, It should be a challenge for me to prove so many people wrong, about our professionalism, about why professionals like us don't last in an institution to where we are right now. In my case I am not after the amount of compensation, but more on sustainability plus, the fulfillment I have earned through this year of work is definitely...priceless!

But what made me unhappy? Maybe depression, perhaps, ignorance, or maybe irresponsibility on my end. Either way, not only that, but like what I have said previously, I definitely felt for my colleagues who are standing on the same ground with me, and to add-up, we felt neglected and cheated by what was agreed upon from the beginning we set foot on this vocation. But that may not make things go easy. All I am doing now, is to pray for those who are concerned, involved, responsible, and especially those who are obviously, at fault. I have nothing againts anyone. In fact, I am not in regret to where we are now.

And now, for my decision? Well, let's say I will be safe with my answer, I am going to say that, As long as THEY haven't fixed the PROBLEM, I am open for the idea of LEAVING. But, in the minute the PROBLEM gets fixed and I get what is rightfully mine, then, let's say that I will be fulfilling my promise to STAY for another year with no strings attached.

You get me do you? With that, Let's just pray for the Best and may the best of our interests prevail in the end :-)

A Displeased Treat

Well, today's a new start of the week...It could have been a good start, almost. Well, I felt bad and guilty but furious and frustrated. I just don't know how I should explain this without being too specific but, let me just tell you that, maybe I just felt for the others that's why I ended up pouring all the outburst to one who does not know how to stop or place himself when it comes to some matters and jokes(you know what I mean). I cannot always internalize, I'm also a human being. That's why I just simply snapped-out a while ago. Hopefully, I can go away for a while, like what I have said, I cannot detain this anymore...

But forget about that crap, hopefully things will cool down...

As you can see in the image I am portraying a displeased Treat. I thought of doing another photo manipulation since I am bringing with me a box of Ferrero Rochers' and to my delight, I thought of a good concept, well maybe, not that good.

You see I enjoyed posing and enjoyed playing Photoshop, I guess this day wasn't so bad after all, unless I would recall that incident once more...but to hell with that crap...I'm just going to do what I'm supposed to do, maybe it's time for me to detach myself from them, too much of being such a teacher for me, I will no longer be as close as I used to be to them, my friends were right, It's time to detach and put the line...

'Til then ;-)

I'm losing it...

Well, another week has passed and another week is about to start. There were many things that happened. But nonetheless, the usual things happen. You know, obnoxious people, inconsiderate instances, plus you may also add the lack of you know...Consistency.

So much that had happened alright. I feel that I have lost the Love and Compassion to what I am doing now. Besides, we were taken for granted, I mean we were always taken for granted...

Hopefully within a few more days left, I will be able to decide if I am stayin' or I am totally leaving...for good. They can't blame me for such rage, at the first place we were assured of things that would help us...grow as individuals, you see, I feel for my colleagues who are standing at the same ground with me. It's not always what we say could be the basis, although we are all undergoing the same problem to where we are, still, there should be this little spark of consideration that should be vested upon us. I really don't want to feel this way, but I cannot detain it within me anymore, I'm already full of this, somehow I have to let go of all this...I am not really againts anyone here, but, I just have to be honest with what I am feeling, I am actually ashamed of myself because I don't get to share anything good or fun, but that's my fault and my choice. Either way, this too shall pass...

Maybe next time I can be off this track of Drama, anyhow, let's just pray that this week could be different, and guess what, as long as you are with me through this, I know, maybe I can still have the strength to stay, yes, you are the one that I am referring to, the one reading this right now, just hang on with me, your support can pull us out of this ;-)

It just hit me...Again!

Today seems to be one of them other days, Monday to be exact. This week has got me started once again. Guess what? It just hit me again...

I seem to have a good recollection of our Ethics class...You know, we were talking about the difference about personal and organizational work/function, meaning, you don't mix your personal works or tasks that has nothing to do with your office...Just a while ago, I managed to witness that scenario and hopefully god forgive me but, I was so pissed and turned-off to what I was seeing at the moment....

You see, you are responsible to what you put yourself into, and you may never call yourself a professional to the way you sometimes achieve your goals, with the way you would take advantage of the resources and manpower of another office or to the expense of others or how you may abuse your authority or even take the moment or others for granted...You may never have the right to feel bad, since, bottomline, your shortcomings are the least of our concern. To be honest I have been pretending to be deaf and mum about your doings, if you only knew, I have been seeing you do the same only, with different outputs and expectations...

You may be said to be great but, nonetheless, I am now so turned-off with you, as for me, all I could say, goodluck and may you submit to that on time, it looks like you need it the most but it is the least of all of our concern...I bet you are just deaf of the term "BOTHER". Hopefully, you could have realized that you managed to be our top "CAUSE OF DELAY" and you have a wrong comprehension of the term..."HELP"

These are my insights, done with my own efforts, good for you if get what I mean and Congratulations if you haven't got the point that I am actually pertaining to you...

Last words...You're Great...Definitely...

Guess what came into my mind...Again

Today's the month of March, 4th day to be exact. Today, there were so many thing that really took place, first, I nearly burned my face with SODIUM CHLORIDE, yeah you read that right... How? well, my student haven't wiped their table well which contains drops of Sodium Chloride, and as for me, How dumber can I get? I managed to have some on my fingers and guess what? I unknowingly wiped it on my face...(Now that's...yeah I'll just continue...) then i noticed the burning sensation and rushed towards the sink...Which thank god, contained barred powder soap, which neutralized the whole sensation(Hold-up, am I even sure about that?)

Then, again, for the nth time, I was, stressed-out...(You know the reason, but it varies...and those variations are actually...THE SAME!) But thank god, there were soime good stuff that happened today though(no need to mention those!)

Also, I was in the mood to do some Photo Shopping and I was able to create a photo manipulation and, I ended up spoofing an upcoming show of Marian Rivera entitled "Amaya". Instead I made my own upcoming show and it's call "Abaya"(As seen above), But that's not the only spoofing that I did, check this-out:

That was "Agua Bendita" starring Andi Eigenmann(Hopefully the spelling's correct), I also made my version then...

Hopefully, if there are some fans out there who would be able to see this post, please, do not be offended (Same with marian and Andi)...

Anyhow, That's all for now, 'Til the next post ;-)

Too Much Stress...Can make you feel...OLD

Just Today, I was so stressed-out, It started in the morning me being late and all, plus what added up was some irritating noise and some irritating jokes which I didn't appreciate up to the last hour of my work since I was not in any mood to make jokes and since I am also serious with my try-out...


In the picture, you can see me having my Blood pressure taken by my grandmother, who happens to be a retired health worker. I was just so worried that I was starting not to feel comfortable that I suddenly wanted to check my blood pressure.

This time, as you can see, my cousin was also concerned with my blood pressure. So he wanted to join and he also pretended to be a retired health worker. Well, so much for the laughs...

Good thing my grandma told me that, my blood pressure's fine, or quite normal...But when she found-out that I was too stressed-out my grandma wanted me to take some time-off or she wanted me to find some peace in a new career. Although she have spoken all that, she was just simply concerned...

Oh well, so much for the lovin' this time, I guess that might be it...

Tune in again next time ;-)

Another Feel good E-mail...

I actually tried-out for this company of Graphic Artists, and to my surprise, they sent me a feedback and a recruitment test.

Although I am currently employed, I decided to try-out not because I wanted to leave my current vocation but, I am just hoping If I can have another extra income (do you get me?)

Anyhow, I have just submitted my recruitment text, hopefully things would turn out fine. If not, prehaps, a feedback would not hurt...right?

I'll just keep you updated then. ;-)

May Wi-Fi na Kami!!!

Finally! I can now sustain my online persona or blog! and I can now continue with much of my blog sharing and stuff like that. Besides, thanks to the people at home especially to my Tita Amie for this upgrade at home ;-)

In this photo, it's me with my cousin and his toys ;-)

I guess that would be all for now...

See you guys soon :-)
