How to Spend Your Birthday the Right Way?

New Year, Valentine's Day, Christmas, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day are some of the occasions that we celebrate once a year. But probably one of the occasions that we really take time to prepare is our birthday. To think of it, it's not really that exciting to know that you have aged a year again. Is our birthday really worth celebrating? Or are we just wasting a lot of money for getting older? Getting old is not something that we should really celebrate, but nevertheless it is part of human life. What we should really celebrate is the fact that our lives have been extended for a complete whole year; not everyone is given that opportunity. But when can we say that we had a well spent birthday?

 When I was still a little kid, I used to be excited whenever my birthday comes. I think that it is fancy to get old. I always tell to myself that I want to get older because I want to have the freedom that the adults have. Now that I am old enough, that excitement that I felt slowly fades. I always felt like I want to go back to my childhood, I want to have the freedom that children has again. What the irony, right. When you are young, celebrating your birthday is all about the gifts, the foods on the table, the party, and almost all of the fancy things in the eyes of a child. But once you get mature, we tend to long for much simpler but meaningful things. So if it's not the material things that makes our birthday special, then what does?

 Quality time with my loved ones, that's what makes our birthday special; being surrounded by the people we care. As I always tell to myself, life is not forever, and being able to celebrate your birthday is both gift and a privilege. Having spent your birthday with the people you love makes it extra special, as to we don't know until when can we be with them. So instead of celebrating our birthday in the most grandiose way, why not try celebrating it in a solemn way. And that is to have quality time with our parents, siblings, and love ones. Spend more time with them and create memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Be with them, while we still have the chance. That is the right way to spend our birthday.

Life's In A Mess?

When your life is in the midst of a turbulance and you feel like It would go on and on, seems like it would never end. You would wonder to yourself, can life gets even more worst? And to your surprise, It would really do. Here in the Philippines, we are currently facing our battles against Corona Virus. At we're almost at the end of our community quarantine. With all the drama that the world is facing right now, never in my wildest Imagination did I fathom that I would face dramas of my own. I mean, being quarantined is a big battle already. So what could possibly go wrong at this point? Before COVID-19 struck the Philippines, one of my aunt came here to settle some things with her then house. I knew that one day she would kick me out of her house (which was originally my grandfather's) and so to avoid future dilemma, I decided to move out. I stayed in an apartment that my father is renting with my sister and her husband. Due to some misunderstandings, I had to move back te...

In a time and place where technology advancement is very rampant, it is hard to imagine that one can live without the aid of mobile phones and internet. Living without these are almost -if not- impossible especially to those who were born in this generation.

The Second Time Around

Image
September last year, I posted a blog about my sudden decision in entering the BPO industry for the second time around after four years of trying to run away from it. It was a hard decision to makes since I really had a bad experience during my first time in the said field. I was really hesitant at first and I've thought for a lot of times not to pursue it. But I was really in need of job back then and it is the only opportunity that opened for me, so pushed through it. Sad to say, at this very moment, I have already decided to leave that same company who opened its doors for me. But I would like to share to everyone those precious moments that I have experienced, and that I never regretted the decision that I made before. In fact, it was one of the best moments of my life. So here is my journey through my second BPO experience. Being haunted by my first BPO experience, I have sworn to myself that I will never go to that path again. But I broke my own promise due to my need. And i...
