Sensitive Me

Lately I have noticed myself being extra sensitive.

I easily feel offended by my friends' jokes despite knowing that those were just joke really.

Even my mood swings have became apparent.

I simply get annoyed of things and I could not perceive my voice turning out louder than the usual.

Admittedly, these things do happen yet sometimes unintentional.

I am just thankful that I have such understanding friends who are now getting used to my character.

 

Thanks for the Nice Pair of Studs

I love surprises. I am a sentimental type of person. I am simply appreciative of things even if you hear me complaining often times. Not that I am bragging to much about myself but this is just a sort of introduction of how I want to thank a friend. I want to thank her for giving me this:

a pair of earrings from Isay

One day she asked me if I wear dangling earrings and I said I do, that I even have collections of them; some too long even reaching my shoulders. With that, I realized that she inquired on such because she was planning to give me this fine accessory. This thing I did not actually expect as I have not asked for it.

I have once told her that she was one of the nicest person I have ever met; she really is. Even if she has a lot to boast you will not hear a word from her. She remains to be humble and kind. She really is a thoughtful type of friend.

Thank you so much Isay. I just love it. I'll be wearing this on Monday.

Thank You for the Uplifting Comment

It is indeed a wonderful feeling to be appreciated, to be recognized that you are doing something good especially during those times when you least expect it.

Just this afternoon, I was so surprised when one of my colleagues approached me and said "Hi Mhe-anne! I like your blogs". We had never bumped in nor had even just a petty conversation. All I know is that he is one of my closest friends' special someone and we are FB friends. I really did not expect that I have constant followers even if I did not personally ask them to read my senseless bragging at times (as I usually tell some of my friends to visit my sites for traffic, hehe!).

I just want to thank Chris Goldman for expressing such heartwarming remarks.Hope you won't get tired of reading my piece of writing. It is very much appreciated.

Tropang Utot-Incomplete

I wonder what they are doing right now, perhaps they are holding on a bottle of beer, eating something, laughing at each other’s funny thoughts. I guess they are enjoying the night together, the three of them Isay, Usyo and Dante; even without me, even without us. Bitter??? Hehe!

They could possibly be talking about me at this very instance or about the rest of the members who were not able to accompany them.

I am just speculating, simply because I am not part of tonight’s gimmick. It is very seldom that I decline invitations especially those made by them. The situation left me no choice that’s why I did not join. However, it could also be counted to my advantage as I would not have to spend something extra that could worsen my budget dilemma. Also, I should not discount the fact that every moment I spend with Coi is more to my treasures.

I just noticed that for the past few gimmicks never we did get complete attendance. Most of the time it was Jackie who was out of the scene due to her Maternity Leave  last week it was Isay and for tonight Xyra and me are both absent.

Even though I am thinking about a lot of maybes this time; I still wish that they will enjoy the night and that they will arrive home safely. Hopefully, next time would be a night of perfect attendance.

A Cleansing Act

This will be my last post for tonight as I must go to bed earlier than the usual. I should prepare myself for tomorrow as I was given the chance to do something noble. I will be donating a part of me and it's gonna be my blood.

I was in college when I started to try the deed. There was this program of medicine students hand in hand with the Philippine Red Cross whereas they looked for students whom are willing to donate a blood. I was so fortunate then that I passed the screening. That was the first time I learned about my blood type which is "O". From then on, every time I encounter similar programs I usually acts as a donor.

Donating blood is a charity work. It is a selfless act. It is a life saving move. Consequently, it is not just a third party people who benefits from this but definitely yourself as it is in fact a cleansing process for your body. The prick of a needle may be painful somehow but you don't actually lose a thing. You even gain from it as your blood will instantly be renewed.

I wish I will pass the screening again as I have skipped from donating blood since when I got pregnant (two years back). And wishing further that along with the blood that will be taken away from me are the negative thoughts I have in my mind right now.

My Broken Office Chair

My office chair broke this afternoon when I am about to sit on it and since I am one of the Environment, Health and Safety Committee in our office I had to report my own safety miss experience.

"Hi Sir,

This is to report the incident of a broken chair which exactly happened to me.

Around 1pm today (July 07, 2010), after our lunch break (which we spent playing table tennis at training room 4), I proceeded to my work station (here at Admin-Finance Office) to get back to my tasks. When I am about to sit in my chair there was a crack sound beneath and I instantly fell from it. My chairs' feet shattered. Good thing I was not fully seated so I was able to get up so quick and glad I haven't got any injury.

Apparently, I don't look so heavy and I am not even that weighty to be blame. Kidding aside, it could be that the chair was old enough to serve at its original capacity.

Accordingly, maybe we could initiate series of inspections with our office chairs to avoid the same occurence.

Below is the picture of the broken chair for your visual reference."

Well, accidents like this really happens during those times when we least expect it. So we better take precautions always.

Month-End Closing Predicament

June end is not just a month end but a quarter close – 2^nd Qtr for Fiscal Year 2010.

 

For most accountants, last part of each month is becoming a routine of stress period when we are bound to face extreme pressures of achieving a certain reporting cut-off.

 

During this same stage, I am limiting myself connecting through internet during lunch break only. Sometimes I preferred not to open my browser at all; basically to control myself from my addiction – blogging.

 

But in doing such, I feel like I am depriving myself of something that's making my everyday complete. 

 

So in as much as I still can, I am visiting my sites once in a while. I love seeing updates and comments to my personal articles. It has become my stress-relief activity. While it is really very hard to maintain multiple sites especially for a newbie like me I am still planning to create one for my other passion and it's for music.

 

Hopefully I can start doing it after accomplishing all the reports required for June 2010 close.

 

Hmmn… What could be my best title for it? Maybe I should think about it further when I'm already done with the required tasks.

 

Surprised by an Assignment

After three (3) days off from office, I somehow missed the job.Expecting there would be a lot of emails to read, that was the first thing I did - I logged in to my Lotus Notes.Seeing my manager's name in bold is an indication that he has sent me a note. Today it wasn't just a note. 

I was so surprised  to see that I have an assignment. Receiving a task from him isn't new but the particular thing that he asked me to do was the one that really bothered me in some ways.

Why? Because that is something I haven't done for a long time in my entire working years. I was able to have a full grasp of it during my undergraduate years in college. 

 And this is what he exactly asked me to do - to compute for the Financial Stability of a certain company.The first thing that came up to my mind are those financial ratios I've studied back then. Ratios that would tell you the performance and stability of a company through certain figures expressed in percentage or in decimal numbers. Glad that I perfectly got the point.

Whew! Doesn't it appears so exciting? Well, its either yes or no. But for me it really depends, I would love to do it if only I have the full concentration to do so. But of course I will definitely do it as I've got no choice - he's the boss.  Hehe! 

On the other hand, thanks to investopedia for sharing a clear guide which refreshes me on this kind of accounting activity.

Almost messed up...

I was really busy today.
Busy as a bee.
Almost drained that I had to leave my tasks even before I get totally exhausted.
I'll just get back to them tomorrow.
Just have to reestablish myself.
How was I doing the a tax and legal documentation?
I'm getting bored and was very vocal about it.
I want these papers to be completely done coz it's really very hard getting tired of things you don't really like doing.
Let's see.
Tomorrow is another day... :D

Serious Me?

It should have been posted earlier as sent thru my email but I don't know what went wrong which made it not to appear in my blog posts.

It goes something like this:

My officemate has just asked me what’s making me serious these days and I immediately replied because I’m doing something that I don’t want to do but I have no choice.

I have tons of workloads but I don’t know where to start. I need to focus my mind on something just as to get going.

Hope I won’t be bothered anymore. I’ll start now analyzing 70 Accounts. My timetable –to finish it until June 20.

Wish me luck again. Apparently, this is just one of my tasks.

Nothing against anybody at office, this is the real thing - life of being an accountant. :D

  Haha! Obviously this isn't me as I don't possess credit cards.

Heavily laden???

Now it really feels like I am fully loaded and I just realized it today when I was struck by urgent tasks at work - reports, documentations, system processing, active committee participation and all. Previously I thought that this is the first job ever for me where I can get no backlogs, all my reports would be up to date and I can still relax. But this day proves me wrong, all deadlines must be achieved within this week.

Whew! Good luck to me, while my objective still lies in doing all these things within the working schedule, without me having to render overtime work. LJPGM.

Stressed, Shameful, Happy, Excited and Shocked me...

Thanks God It's Friday... Thanks God that from being so stressed at work it turned out into a positive emotion.

Today, I felt the Friday sickness like most employees seem but I didn't have the choice as I have some deliverables to accomplish. My daily report, monthly requirements and special requests which happened to be urgent and important. Comparing myself to a basketball player I did it in a buzzer beater way, just in time to shoot. 

Apart from the stressed environment, I had this bloopers I did not intend. So busy working, with headset on and iPhone at max volume I didn't noticed that I was singing out loud the song "A very special love" till my seatmates informed about it. Haha! Shameful me and my officemates teased me that I did the singing full of emotions. I just don't know, if I made it according to it's tune.

After the stress and shame, we left for SM Rosario. There I seemed to be transformed happily having dinner with my office friends and this got me so excited to blog. Just waiting for Xyra to upload the pics and my hands will be typing about it soon. 

It was raining hard when we planned to go home. Thanks to Isay that she decided to send me home with "jazztee" (hope to have it spelled correctly... hihi).

Arrived home safely. My cousin asked me to join them getting their Blood Pressure. Then I was shocked to know that I got low BP - and this was brought about my newest addiction - blogging.

Worried for Grandma...

At around 1pm this afternoon, my cousin texted me about my grandma. He told me that lola can no longer walk and even stand from where she was sitting. It was as if an electric current that ran through my veins. I almost panicked wanting to rush home. Not knowing what to do, I just informed my father and even my fiance about it.

Till my cousin texted back again telling me that everything went somehow fine no need for us to take lola to the hospital. Thanks God!

This instance brought me into some sort of paranoia and this made me realized how much I love my lola.

Dearest friends please pray for my lola - for her to stay longer with us free from illnesses and pains...

Emo Mode...

Yah right... after more than a year... i'm coming back as I'd like to go back to blogging again... i'm afradi I might not be able to sustain but at least I tried...

And this time, i'm in a total emo mood again... can't explain the feelings I am having right now... I am a so confused and a bit disturbed... can't figure out what's going on...

These past few days, i guess I am lost - lost into something i still don't know... feels like i am being pulled apart... is it some sort of an identity crisis - as what my officemate said... nahh... all i know is that i am sad... what brought me to this feeling is something i must realized...

I've been into funny and to some extent scary things because my mind really flies... instances where I do not response to somebody talking to me because I was looking into nothingness... an alcohol accidentally used to clean my face... cellphones I forgot to bring... and a bus that almost hit me on the road...

I feel really exhausted of somethings... and I am hoping that this too shall pass...

I RESIGN

I am resigning... Yes, you've read it right... I resigned, have actually filed for it and was finally approved by my boss yesterday March 05, 2009...

I am supposed to stay until the 20th of March but was advised to stay until March end to at least observe the 30days notice. Nevertheless, I still am leaving... I got mixed emotions but I am more of happy about it... I've been praying for it and am very thankful that it was given...

I'm sure you're eager to know the very reasons why I wanted to leave after three (3) long years... Oooopsss, it's secret... nah, i don't need to hide it actually...

I'm leaving because I want to and more so I think I really need to...

This past few days I've been roaming around the streets (exaj) to find solutions to my problem - needless to say it's more on financial matters... 'till I finally realize that I need a long-term response for it or else I'll be drowned with all my obligations...

That's the time when I think about of having a new job that can give me the things I wanted in exchange of my unwaivering service... I prayed, worked on it and finally He gave it to me...

Even without knowing what exactly is in store for me out there, I have considered it as a blessing... I have a lot of things to be thankful about especially that it really happened...

What shall I expect?

From work - nothing, it's actually the same thing regardless of the industry I'll still be doing accounting... pressures are inherent to the carreer of an accountant... so not much of a change...

Environment - hehe... definitely a new one... away from the sea, away from the dust of summer and the black muds of the rainy seasons...

hayy...

i reallyt think i need to blog this up...

i just can't explain the feeling i am in right now...

Am i starting to fall in love again?

Or it is just brought about by the excitement of having someone again... or just a sort of expectation...

i really don't know...

all i know is that i can feel the "kilig factor" and the sense of anticipation from him...

because of this, i have to stop myself... before I explode... before it eats up my time and effort...

sorry, but I have to temporarily delete his cellphone numbers while I still don't memorize them...

i have to stop expecting anything from him in the first place to prevent myself from exasperation...

i don't wanna be hurt...

macoi is my one and only priority as of now...

i don't want him to get affected by my "insanity"(what a term???) or temporary madness in the first place...

i love my son so much...

it may not just be for him...

but if i'l fall in love with a man,

he has to love macoi too before i could give him the love that he deserves from me...

hayy...
