One week to MOVE ON ;)


At first, it was so hard..

too many sleepless days..
about to lose self confidence..
feel bad..
feel isolated..
feel suffocated..
can't eat much..
can't focus..
can't concentrate..
been bitter..
been snobbish..
been doubtful..
so emotional..
so lonely..
so discouraged that I was about to give up..

All happened in just a week..
and I am reluctant to express all of these..

But now..
I am starting to understand it..
I am starting to like it..
and hopefully..
LOVE it wholeheartedly..

I am confident to say that..
I completely overcome a rough week..

Tough times can happen everyday. We just need to learn how to handle it because giving up is never an option. It will eventually pass and will always bring potential for great things to happen.

Thank You LORD..
Thanks to my family..
Thanks to my friends..
Thanks to all who've been with me..

So much appreciated..

I ♥ You all..

;) ;) ;)

A good piece to reflect on...


A stored message from my former team leader caught my attention while doing an e-mail clean up. Thanks to this message because for a little while, I actually feel grown-up and responsible. ♥ ;)))))

Use your head to get to the top. But use your heart to stay.

AN OPEN ADVICE ABOUT CAREER DECISIONS

Several of my staff has approached me lately about their career decisions. I really appreciate my staff opening up to me. It is quite reassuring to know that they're still having second thoughts about leaving. Here is part of the email I sent to a "confused" staff:

I have worked for more than 5 companies already so I guess you might be correct in saying I have had considerable experience about leaving and moving on. I will not stop you nor tell you to leave, though of course it will be better if you stay. In any career decision, leaving or staying I believe, based from my personal experiences and as an HR professional, should only be done for the right reasons.

For one, you shouldn't leave because you don't like several people in the company, nor should you stay because of the friends you have made here. At the end of the day, it is your life. Your friends or "enemies" should not make or break your career. If you let them be the deciding factor, then maybe you should think twice. You are the craftsman of your fate and the captain of your ship. Captain Hook shouldn't be one of your worries!

Do not leave nor stay because of the "brand" of your company. If that was the case, I would have rushed off and sign my JO in "C"! Ask yourself whether you want to be a big fish in a small pond or a small fish in a bigger pond. Know your priorities. Only you can answer that.

Do not leave the company because you're so damn frustrated about the way things are being run, or stay because you have this "messianic complex" that you can change things overnight. Be realistic about the things.

Learn to accept that there is no perfect company. Be accepting that change is a slow and painful process at times and be thankful that you realize and act on things that can be changed and improved. Definitely, do not leave or stay just because your parents want you to. I know I am advocating obedience to parents but again, we are talking about YOUR career. But learn to value their wisdom and discern well.

Money isn't everything. The package being offered now might be better but look at the long-term prospects.Do not leave or stay just solely on the compensation package. Look for growth prospects and review their career plans for you. Your immediate gains today might actually be a loss a few years from now if you do the Math.

Boredom is another challenge all professionals are faced with during lull periods in their career. Do not leave because you have become so bored with your job.Do not stay either because you want things as they are. Change is inevitable in any organization. Talk to your boss. Ask for more responsibilities or other tasks if you're bored. Enroll in a special course. If you're satisfied with the status quo and is just waiting for retirement hoping things will stay the same, you're in for a big disappointment - either you will be forced to change or you will be forced to leave. Be ready before that time comes. Boredom or complacency is perennial battle most professionals have to deal with. Arm yourself with creativity everyday!

Tonight I suggest you rest well. Sit still and listen to what He is saying. PRAY. I have always made my career decisions through His guidance. He was and still is my Career Adviser/Talent Manager. Your work, our work, is a vocation. He knows us more than we know ourselves so trust Him for whatever plans He has for you. You can never go wrong.

And remember:

Use your head to get to the top. But use your heart to stay.

It's OKAY not to be okay :(



I just don’t think that I really deserve this.. I find myself asking, is it me being unfair? or should I pity myself? I am having second thoughts right now, regretting that I never said my point the last time we talked. I am so doubtful. I am guilty. I don’t want it, yes, I aim for it...But not this way..I feel no contentment. Sorry for being superficial.. I just want to write what I am feeling right now. I just pretend, I smiled just like what I always do, I actually did not mind it, I said I understand..  All because I am afraid that if I started telling what I am thinking, if I started showing what I am feeling, I am afraid to break down and start crying. I am super sensitive and emotional; I know you think I am not. I just don’t want to be a center of destruction so I pretend to be seen no care at all. 

If you read this, tell them I am sorry, really I am. Until now I still don’t know why it happened. Please understand that even I accepted it, I am still in doubt, only because I know that I am not ready yet. The situation proves it. I am eager to do the consequence because I understood it all the very first time it was mentioned and explained. 

Sorry.. I didn’t mean to be here.. lucky I am to be here, sorry, even though I want it..

One more thing.. Sorry for not telling the truth every time you’re asking me how I am doing.. I always say I am okay.. I am hurt deep inside.. but don’t worry, it will end soon. but right now, please let me feel that it is okay not to be okay

I realize that I am the last person who can help myself in everything, at the end of the day it is me who will decide where I want to be.. and what I want to be.. 

The good thing about today? There is hope for a better tomorrow.

Today, I am one more day closer to being well again.

LORD help me.. THANK YOU so much for everything. ♥ ♥ ♥

 *fact: later will be my first time working night shift but I am still awake… Good luck to me… ;)
