New Year!!!

I welcomed the new year with blisters on my skin due to the mosquito bites I got from Bicol. Aside form those bites my vacation there was fantastic. I never thought I'd enjoy myself that much without cable or ps3. It was always a pleasure to go there and visit where my girlfriend grew up.

Going back...

I always thought of starting a new career mainly because of the late night shifts that I'm in. I may have decided too soon to tell my boss about my plans because we got into a small argument(again). I may have come in too strong to have said what i said but there really was no offense in what I said to him. I just want to have my options laid out to me before I do anything rash. Well I changed my mind on resigning, well mainly because I wasn't chosen for the job, and also to save up first and try to love what I do for the sake of my future. I haven't told my boss about this yet 'cause mainly I'm still thinking on landing a better job(dayshift) in the near future(fingers crossed). I have a few contacts here that I can call up and request for a job interview but I'm still having second thoughts mainly because I don't want to start from scratch again. But who am I really kiddin'. Given the chance that a dayshift gig gives me a job I would take it in a heart beat. My only lost would be the friends that I have come to respect here.

What made me think...

I visited this website where there are some tips on how to love your job(http://womentodaymagazine.com/career/lovejob.html) which made me thought for a while how blessed I am that I have one. This made me realize in a very small way that I shouldn't fret because my shift is during the night but rather be thankful that atleast I'm not hassled to dive into the rush hour of people coming and going about their lives every morning. The tasks I have aren't even close to be being difficult but rather it is my sickness that hinders me from completing it(laziness).

With all that out of my chest. I've decided to create, regardless how cliche it is, my new year's resolution.

1. get more exercise - lack of movement - lack of endorphins (happy hormones) = short fuse
2. quit bad habits - I'll try to lessen them ^_^
3. be more patient with people - refer to exercise
4. love my job - no comment
5. try not to be a smart-ass - I talk a lot and tend to ramble on and on and on.....
6. be thankful for whatever I have
7. respect others opinions - see number 5
8. love more, live more - we only got one chance at this so I better make it count.

So there...

Those are the resolutions that I plan on doing this year. It's not on any particular order but all of them, for me, is paramount.

Now back to work!
