On blind spots

Probably I knew all these things all along but I refuse to face it. I feel comfortable with what my beliefs are at the moment. I feel that if this thing that I have created will be somewhat shaken, I know for sure that I’d be able to handle it. However, I don’t know if I’d be ready, or if I want to.

I know I can, but I think I refuse to at the moment.

I need a paradigm shift.

My life is really, really good. Yet I must admit that I need to do some tweaking of my own. I love the fact that I live a happy disposition. I’m pretty content with what I have right now, my family, career, friends, they’re all great.

The wind on my face, the adrenalin rush, that feeling of ‘pagkahulog at pagtataya’ according to Azada. I think that’s what I need.

I need an adventure. Maybe I’d go somewhere soon.=)

Things I wanna do with my life.

1. Learn a new language. Particularly FRENCH. Je Suis un etudiant de langue Francaise.
2. Go to Paris and live there for a year.
3. Travel hop! See all 7 wonders of the world.
4. Learn to cook. Je Suis Gourmand.
5. Continue this healthy lifestyle advocacy...why not? It's the wellness era darling.=)

I CANNOT get enough of CYMA. Delicieux!

I know I need to get my act together, I shouldn't be distracted. But c'est vendredi and I just can't help it! Great Lunch. Kudos to CYMA and it's friendly staff for giving the much needed endorphins a girl could ever ask for.=)

By the way, have you ever tried "cruising" along skyway or SLEX on a Friday night? It's nightmareISH I wanted to cry. Quoting Anne: "Ang pula pula ng daan."
Hillsongs saved me from my anguish though. That's always a good thing, being patient while driving.

My friend inquired earlier why I changed my blog from stealmysunshyn to this. I was thinking of a deep philo answer but I can't make the wheels in my head turn so I opted for the truth, I forgot my password.=p & another thing, it felt like it wasn't me talking anymore (while I was reading the old posts the author seemed like ...well... not me) so I decided to create something that is more close to who I am now, like a (close) snapshot of a particular moment in my life. Hence the birth of Et C'est Ma Vie (and this is my life).=)

Well there, c'est tout!

Great day so far. I wonder what's in store for moi tonight.

Ciao for now!

Bon jour mes amis! Je parle francaise. =)

For weeks now (chaque mardi et judi) I've been leaving my desk earlier than usual and heading in Alliance francaise de manille. For some reason I wanted to learn something noeveau, and heck it really is new alright!

I love it. It's a beautiful language.

Anyway, every now and then I get a little affected when people leave. My co-marketing associate left me a few weeks ago, TMs leave, managers leave, people leave. I am not against career changes, developments and what have you, don't get me wrong. It's just that, I get affected somehow. I know I have to toughen up coz it's a reality of the industry. Nevertheless I can't help but feel like sighing...

It's really gloomy when I think about it. The thing that makes me happy though is that I know this happens for a lot of good reasons, we need to sift through the dirt to see the gold underneath right? Huh? haha well I just have to be optimistic.

Anyway, I am so glad a lot is happening in my life right now. I have my SE family with all our never ending activities, errands for the new house (yes we're building a house! In a few months I'll be like "J'habite a Hillsborrough..."=p) and yeah, my current job.

My job. I know I have to be greatful...I really should. (" Oh Lord, please grant me the grace to be more greatful....")

*sigh*....still can't help it, what can I say?

Ciao for now!

EGR Alert

Geez.

I never know i can be this fickle! for days I've been on a high because i felt a career clarity. but in one swift mood switch the world suddenly turned gray as i realized i wanted to achieve so much more. those are days when i feel like im back in high school again, rebelde days against my parents for holding me by the neck, which i don't think they make me feel intentionally but nonetheless...

great. my sister is accumulating TONS of money in her job. oh goodie. i wanted to do the same thing but i never wanna work for the money. i wanna work for my passion. i thought it was interior design. but just the mention of meters and CAD (good grief long hours of CAD! no. freaking. way.) and i suddenly wanted to turn my heels and sit back on my deskchair and bury my face on the piles of pending work that i have taken for granted, due to my being an emotional whack coz of....

haha ESTROGENS!

you got that right. it was THAT time of the month. nothing else.

i'm back to being my old marketing self once again my friend.

i am so back.

thank goodness.

Thank You God for the grace. I needed it.
