Wishful Thinking

These last few weeks have left me completely exhausted. And I'm desperate for a week off. I know it's a long shot, but I'm still hoping that my boss will give me a break  (fingers crossed). Two days of paid leave plus two rest days (weekend) would suffice.

My thoughts are so jumbled right now! I've been insanely busy, and I can't help but imagine myself dormant for the entire week, doing nothing but slug around or mooch around the house. But that would be impossible as well! I’m having maximum dosage of caffeine and bare minimum amount of sleep!

Don’t get me wrong, I love my job and I love the people I work with. I am not complaining about my job, but as a typical human being, I also dream to have a lil break, duh?!  I’ve already met the quota - 500% over prod… LOL!! Our target’s only 106%. So, beat that, man! Daddy *, one of the tenured senior executives, asked me “ tao ka ba? Robot ka yata eh.. paano mo nagawa yun? Humihistory ka ah,558.33% ka na di pa end of the month! Mamigay ka ng prod mo uy!” Sabi ko nga “can I divide my prod na lang, I’ll transfer some of my prod for April,so I can go on leave?” And they all yelp “ASA KA NAMAN!”. Wishful thinking it is…

I tried to sleep earlier, hoping to reward myself with at least a 5-hour snooze, I only got 3 hours, oh joy! That's probably the average amount of sleep I've been getting every day for the past month...

There are so many things I've wanted to do... When will I be able to complete them? I need lots of time and bob*.

-I have yet to visit Alabat Island, where I intend to go fishing and explore the untouched caves and mountains.
-I have yet to return to Twin Falls in Kalayaan Laguna with my friends, and then to Caliraya.
-I have yet to enjoy the sumptuous food at Lucban Quezon's Kamayan sa Palaisdaan with Cindy and Vanessa.
-I have yet to read Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen... I hadn't finished that book until now...


So far, those are the stuff I want to do—coz there’s a whole lot more.  So please gimme a break!


Big Love!

Hello, Blogspot

I am not a “writer” but I love to  write – love notes, reminders, poems etc. I actually write more often than I might realize.

I’ve always wanted to write a book — but, where should I start?
How do I go about writing a blog post?
What will be my topic?
What if I have writer’s block? What can I do to overcome it?

Then, I realized that I should keep it simple. That I just needed to write what I want, what I think and feel. I don’t need to please people. But I want my reader to feel what I feel. I guess, simplicity and clarity are everything when it comes to writing. Simplicity is very powerful.

So, why do I want to write? Few reasons:

I want to express myself, my feelings
This will serve as my personal journal (via the world wide web) I will definitely read it back years from now. Will I smile? Will my heart hurt?
I write to remember.

It helps me think.

So, let’s see where will Blogspot lead me?
