Start of March 2015 & Commitment isn't a Dirty Word

Happy 1st March people! It's the month where I'm in my happiest when I get my pay because it's also the same month where I will have bonus too, in the form of performance bonus, yay! But I don't want to get my hopes high of that ONE TIME I barely received $300. Can never forget that. Then again, just like two of my other classmates, that $$$ is going to the school fees due this month also. Oh gosh. For the last couple of months, I've been mightily trying to cut down on expenses though there are some 'can't help it' moments as it's a dry spell for me, business wise and also because of the fees, I don't want to be left with very very little savings once I've paid it. I refuse to be left with the feelings of being superbly poor as back in October and November and hence, why I've been a little bit more cautious. 

I want this year to be a year of more but then, some things take time to happen. But you know what, I just know that this is going to be an awesome month so let's just bear with it ;)

I've also spent the last day of February, unknowingly until the last hour, basically not doing much which translates to, how am I going to go far in life watching clips of a Brazilian soap drama in life? Oh well. So I guess I take the opportunity today onwards to be a little bit more on point with my goals in life, which I have written in my very pretty notebook, that serves as a somewhat daily reminder of what I have to do to get to where I want. They say that we remember better when we write down and read it every day so we don't go off tangent and be more committed.

Yes, that is the key word. COMMITMENT. If we are not committed in achieving something, there is no way we can go far in life. To some people, commitment is a dirty word because it makes them tie down to something. But you don't have to be tied down. There are things that are practically done free and easy and there are just some things, that require you to have a level of commitment. Otherwise, our life will be so imbalanced and in the end, nothing is achieved.

So if you have been seriously slacking in getting from point A to point B for your goals, we have the next 10 months still, to achieve it. No point committing to memory, but have your goals written down and read them before you start the day. As for me, I will also be more committed in life and to the people I care about and I encourage you to do the same too.

One Step at A Time

Hello there It has been a while, right? I used to treat this blog as a place for me to rant, talk about nonsensical things and interests that, when I think back about it, were pretty cringeworthy. But it was part of the process of me growing up and navigating through my life which is full of ups and downs, just like the tidal waves. I still need a form of outlet to write out my thoughts and I have been journaling for the last few years. At first, I was still writing nonsense, or simply writing about how my day went, but I try to make it a more conscious journalling where I will write about things that I can take lessons from or to reflect on. So how has life been for me? Well, I no longer am running an online shop where I used to do customised cards and then just specializing in box cards. I do want to have an online business, preferably one I don't have to travel to meet people.  If you read my last post about being zen, I think I have 'tripled' the amount of zen inside of...

Listen to Me

It kinda irks me when I am trying to express an opinion or sharing a piece of knowledge but it's met with strong objection or Im being cut half way before I even finished. I mean...come on...does it hurt to actually listen first, doesnt matter if u agree or not? Yes I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions but it's frustrating because I feel like a sore loser. That sort of conversation is actually begging to be turned into some huge argument if I am equally annoying and equally strong headed as well. But I dont want to do that especially if they are my friends. Then again, I am subjected to being called a wimp or somebody who cant stand up strong against what she believes in or her own opinions. That will sorta give the person a sense of pride for getting a landslide victory. At first I used to think that hey, maybe the person has a point and I am wrong. But come to think of it, that's bull! It's one thing not to argue and another thing to let ur own opinions b...

Not Gone from Good

Life hasn't been good lately especially in the last two weeks. The latest news is that it seems that almost everyone has an increase in their pay due to changes in the civil servant wage scale and very unfortunately, my group didn't get it. So my boss, whose post is that of a manager and the operations manager, have quite a significant salary rise.  I heard she got a 10% pay rise. 10%!!! look, even the attendants got a pay rise. What we got? nada! zilch! Why? Because apparently our salary is of a competitive range. Sigh, such is the unfairness of life. I'm already struggling as it is and then apparently now, the rich has become richer. The poor remains nothing but a destitute mess. So I guess the only chance for a pay rise is for me to be promoted and though I do not know how much pay rise will that be, at least it is going to be slightly better. The problem is that I have no clue when I will get promoted. I am not one of those people with many super ideas that will great...
