Life is Like a Wheel

Life is like a wheel. Everyone will agree. From day to day there are different encounters. Different events. Different places. Different people. All are riding in the wheel of life.

Accident fears. Is there such a phobia regarding accidents? Well, I guess, everyone has this phobia. Who would like to be caught up in an accident, whatever it is? No one! Certainly not me. Even if I have a disability insurance or all kinds of insurance, I will never entertain the idea.

For the coming New Year’s day celebration, be safe everyone! It is good to welcome 2010 with a BANG but remember those precautionary measures so that after all the fireworks, all your body parts will still be complete. :)

Sometimes, reunions are dreaded. Well, you get to realize some things like if you are successful or not after twenty years. Yes, our high school class will be meeting again after twenty years. What will I tell them? Should I tell them that I am successful and working as a business plan consultant thus I could actually cater to all of them? The truth is, I am not contented where I am right now. Maybe I should not attend. But, I would surely love to see old friends! I am confused! I should decide soon because it is only a few says from now.

You are not alone

By this time, I am sure that my Aunt who works abroad is done filling in those shipping boxes. I wonder what is in store for us this Christmas. It is always a very good surprise. The thought itself and the effort of buying things for us is really well appreciated. We are now waiting for her call for us to go to her house. More than the material things that we will get going there, what we are excited about is to see our relatives. We get to see them only once in a year. It is still a good feeling that you belong and you are not alone in this world.

I am dreaming of a Cancun All Inclusive Family Vacation. Yes, someone will be serving us! I wanted to get a house help real soon because household chores are really making me nervous! Exaggerated? No, maybe I just really need a vacation.
Someone will just call us if the table is ready. There will be some activities for our child. We could just relax and think of nothing. Watch the blue sea. Walk barefooted. Swim. enjoy the view. Savor every perfect moment. You could only do that in a luxurious resort!

Okay, I am awake now. Still, I am thinking of that family vacation. Gotta have that real soon!

Good news!

Time for bonus! Extra cash is always a good news for everyone! The next thing is how to manage it. My partner and I have talked about this. It is a good news that there is extra cash flow for the season. However, it just means that we have something to give away. Share your blessings, as they say… Just be careful in doing that though… You do not like to wake up with nothing inside your pocket.

I really do not like this idea of working hard and throwing away what you have worked hard for. My partner is more generous than me. He is a cheerful giver. We have talked about this season and from his computation, he is planning to spend everything! Maybe I am just afraid for tomorrow. Yes, I am. There is a threat to my job right now and I am not sure if by next year everything will be the same. Our savings is not enough for our daily needs. I am confident though that I will find another job but it will mean that I have to start all over again…

Anyways, just like a bird, I know that God will take care of me. Thank You Lord for all the blessings!

Lifetime commitment

Wheel on December-12-09

I love to receive wedding invitations! Attending such a happy occasion is a refreshing feeling. You know, seeing two people in love committing their lives to each other. I always like the part when the priest would tell the couple to be together in good times and bad times. Marriage should really be a lifetime vow! After all the bottles of wine were emptied and everyone went home, then the reality begins. It will only be the husband and wife to start a new life. That is really a big step!

Stick to it

Wheel on December-12-09

It is an exciting season here in our country. Well, at least for politicians. There is one personality here who is also known for breeches because she is an equestrian. She is one of the cousins of one of the presidentiables. She is also the wife of an ex- congressman. Most of all, she is really from a political clan because her parents are into politics too. How about her? As I have said, she is an equestrian. I hope she will stick to it.

Fishes

Wheel on December-7-09

I am worried about my friend. She is getting thinner and thinner as days go buy. No, she is not taking fat burners. She is having a very big family problem that caused her not to eat and just think about it all the time. She is miserable. She lost more than 30 pounds in two months. I do not know if I will be sad for her or be happy for her. She is on the heavy side. The losing of weight is doing her good somehow but I am concerned about her health… and her happiness. I hope she will be able to finally move on. Anyways, there are other fishes in the ocean.

Chill out

Wheel on December-7-09

What could be a better gift to someone but letting him go to orlando vacations? My friend just blurted that out when we were having our usual chit chat at the office. :) Maybe she was that stressed out and we do not really know what was going through her mind when she said that. All we know was that she needs a vacation and hopefully she could do that in the future. She is someone who takes everything seriously. Now, she is all drained with energy and has to chill out a bit. Good thing she could still use as many as 30 days of vacation leave credits. We told her, okay, go and file a vacation leave! She deserves it!

A new laptop

Wheel on December-5-09

Christmas is here! I would like to buy myself a new
notebook computer
! I hope the cash flow would allow it. However, the one I am using right now is still doing good. I plan to give this to my son. Then, I thought, would it not be so selfish of me if I would have the new one and give my son this old one? Well, he is still very young and not even a teenager. When I was at his age, I never had a laptop! :)
