My poem of not so long ago..

this was year 2004.... golly ang deep deep ko naman minsan *giggles* ^_^



this is my drug....
a momentarily bliss,
a temporary insanity of the good blood

blinding light i have followed,
but at the back of my mind
the pain of the outside i still wallow

for how long should i run
from the creeps of my memory
Lord God please help me...

Self Sustainability

According to VSO Bahaginan website, we Filipinos have the Bayanihan attitude that makes an effective volunteer but does not have the money to continue to be one. Hard in-your-face truth!

But of course I wont just whine about it.

Im looking for ways to solve that issue, and then share it to others. So I was browsing on topics to achieve financial freedom, and Ive stumbled upon the following:

So if you know get-rich-without-batting-an-eyelash-quick-tips, please let me know also ^_^... Hopefully we can also be like Europeans who goes on holidays na parang kapitbahay lang ang kabilang bansa...


At times like these mahirap ba mangarap? ^_^ Keep an eye and be a tiger ;)

Looking back, but living the present moment very well..

... and taking calculated risks to move forward...

coz im a tiger... GggrrrRRrroowwwwllLL !!!


;)





pero waits, looking back muna tayo when I was with Filipino VSO volunteers.... these unsung heroes of society, down to earth (literally) and yet so totally awesome... no matter how dugyot the places where they are right now... they deserve my genuine respect.

Ate Letty Pardiñas, volunteer in Ethiopia

Ate Clarifel Rodrigo, Management Advisor volunteer in Bangladesh

Chris Reyes, volunteer somewhere in Africa

O davah bongga si Mabel Cinco, taray ang social worker that always sees people with AIDS in her everyday volunteer life! ^_^

Ate Veron Viajar, the HR (Hingahan ng Roaring kong feelings) volunteer in Kolkata

Ate Joyce Felongco to the world, volunteer in Kolkata (second from left)

Balance Life

Aside from me being confined in my cube, I try to make my life as balanced as I can..

gone are the days of ot-ty and ghosting. whoops! ^_^ hehe

besides, once lang tayo dadaan sa earth na ituh, might as well enjoy it and live it to the fullest...



anyways, I was with a co-volunteer of mine on how to apply what we have learned from our stint to our beloved Pinas... and great ideas came to mind... hopefully these ideas will evolve into something wonderful not just for ourselves but for the country as a whole... syempre I dream big. Naging Epal na ako e. hmp.

So I did my first step of raising awareness:

ayan, Im promoting balanced life and volunteering to the highest level.

But the challenge is being humble enough to realize that there are people out there who work so much, depriving themselves of sleep just to earn money for their own loved ones...

and yet, there are people who really dont put so much effort yet they get to travel the world and earn so much more than these people I know na nagpapakamatay sa trabaho.


INEQUALITY.


That's why I am determined to build a better and fairer world.. in my own way.

Sana lang these dreams wont just stay as big dreams... monday pala bukas.. eto na naman ang feeling ko-> GO BACK TO PROPER WORK!!! :(
