realizations...

As I grow old, my realizations about life became deeper.

Problems get bigger, situations become more complicated..

and I know that you are just like me too..

Sometimes we wish we could go back,

back to the time when the only man in our life was our dad..

our only best friend was our mom..

and..

any pain could be healed by just a band aid and a lollipop..

unhappy at work???

How do you know that you’re unhappy at work? That something is not right and that it’s time to either make some changes at work or move on to a new job?

Top 10 signs:

1: You procrastinate
You really, honestly try to get some work done. But somehow you never really get around to it. Or you only do it at the last possible moment and then only do a half-baked effort.

Many people view procrastination as a personal weakness. To me, it’s one of the strongest warning signs of unhappiness at work.

2: You spend Sunday night worrying about Monday morning
“I never sleep on Sunday night very well because I’m worried about going to work on Monday morning. My job is very stressful and you kind of have to gear up for Monday and getting back into that.”

One of the worst things about being unhappy at work is that the unhappiness bleeds over into your free time. If you’ve had a lousy day at work, it’s difficult to go home and have a great evening. If your week sucked, it’s hard to have a fun, relaxed, carefree weekend.

3: You’re really competitive about salary and titles
You don’t like the job itself, so you focus much more on salary and perks. Knowing that someone in a similar position is paid more than you, or is promoted when you’re not, really eats at you.

When we’re unhappy at work we get a lot more competitive, for one simple reason: When work doesn’t give us happiness and enjoyment we want to get something else out of it. And what else is there but compensation and promotions.

4: You don’t feel like helping co-workers
Your colleagues may be struggling. But you don’t really feel like lending a hand. Why should you?

One very interesting psychological study started by putting subjects in either a good mood or a bad mood. They were then asked to go down the hall to another room where the experiment would continue. In the hallway the real experiment took place – the subjects passed a man holding a big box struggling to open a door. Would the subject help that person? The experiment showed, that when we’re in a bad mood, we’re much less likely to help others.

5: Work days feel looooong
The first thing you do in the morning, is calculate the number of hours until you can go home.

Ironically, this makes the work day feel even longer.

6: You have no friends at work
Friends at work? They’re mostly all jerks anyway.

Gallup have found in their studies of workplace engagement, that one of the strongest factors that predict happiness at work is having at least one close friend at work.

7: You don’t care. About anything.
Things can go well or they can go badly for your workplace. Either way, you don’t really give a damn.

When you’re unhappy, you care mostly about yourself and not so much about the workplace.

8: Small things bug you
Small annoyances bug you out of all proportion. Like someone taking up too much space in the parking lot, someone taking the last coffee without brewing a new pot or someone talking too loudly in the next cubicle.

When you’re unhappy you have much thinner skin and a shorter fuse. It takes a lot less to annoy you.

9: You’re suspicious of other people’s motives
No matter what people do, your fist thought is “what are they up to?” Good or bad, big or small, all decisions and actions made by your co-workers and managers are seen in this light.

Studies show that we’re also more suspicious of others when we’re unhappy.

10: Physical symptoms
You suffer from insomnia, headaches, low energy, muscle tension and/or other physical symptoms.

Studies show that when you’re unhappy at work you’re more prone to experience these physical stress symptoms.

Guys, till our next trip! :)

i heart ilocos

Last month, me together with some of my relatives had our summer getaway in Ilocos! I sooo loved the place. Ilocanos are so blessed to have these beautiful sceneries!!! Just wanna share some of the pics!

Bangui Windmills

Kabigan falls
(we walked for almost 30 minutes to reach the falls.. but it's worth it! I love nature!!!)

Pagudpud Beach
(we stayed at Polaris Beach Resort.. the beach was so clear!)

Cape Bojeador Lighthouse
(though i have fear of heights, i still went up to see the whole Ilocos)

Paoay church
(I was really mesmerized when I saw this church! Sobrang ganda! It's old but Ilocanos have preserved it!)

Vigan
(parang feeling ko nasa panahon ako ng mga Kastila nung dumaan ako dito!)



i wanna go back here soon!!!

God Bless Philippines!

It is very obvious that Noynoy is leading the Presidential race. I just thought that if ever Noynoy is not the son of late Cory and Ninoy, will Filipinos vote for him or he, himself, will run for presidency??? The problem with us Filipinos is that we always put our emotions first before thinking or looking on what this people have done for our country. "Leadership is not inherited, it is earned". Akala ko matalino na ang mga botante, pero madami pa din ang nagpadala sa surveys, sa dami ng infomercials.. Madami pa din ang bumoto ayon sa diskarte para lamang wag manalo ang kandidatong ayaw nila.. KAunti pa lang ang mga botanteng matalino.. Yung mga pinag-aralan talaga ng mabuti ang mga taong karadapat-dapat maihalal..

Isa pang kagulat-gulat ay ang pagiging 2nd place ni former President Estrada na dati ay napatalsik sa Malakanyang dahil sa kasong Plunder pero heto at madami pa din ang nagpaalipin sa nakaraan.. Akala ko sawa na tayo sa walang kwentang sistema.. Sana mas ibinigay nyo ang boto nyo sa taong mas may nagawa sa bansa.. Sana matuto na tayo.. Tama na ang sisihan.. Kung sino man ang manalo, resulta yan ng boses ng mga nakakarami satin mga Pinoy.. Wala tayong ibang pwedeng sisihin kung wala pa din magbago sa bansa natin kundi tayo din.. Kasi tayo ang mga nagluklok sa mga taong ito..

Ang pwede na lang natin gawin ay suportahan kung sino man ang manalo na Presidente.. Ang pagbabago wala naman yan sa mga leader ng bansa, nasa sa atin pa din yan.. Kung handa na tayo sa pagbabago- simulan natin ito sa sarili.. Hindi uunlad ang bansa kung hindi tayo magkakaisa at walang disiplina..

Godbless Philippines..

nakakasawa na...

Sa totoo lang, sawang sawa na ko sa work ko.. Pesteng nursing kasi.. Ang hirap makapasok sa hospital.. Puro na lang volunteers at trainings ang pwede para lang magkaron ng experience.. Tapos kami pa magbabayad nun.. Last year, nagtraining ako sa Quirino Memorial Medical Center and I was assigned sa OB ward for 2 months.. 1k per month ang bayad for the training.. Ikaw na pagod, toxic pa tapos walang sweldo kahit allowance man lang.. This is a very sad reality ngayon sa nursing profession.. Hindi basta lang yung 4 years namin sa college and for passing the board exam tapos ganito lang.. Minsan nakakawalang gana pero iniisip ko na lang na God puts me here because there's a reason.. Maybe I have a mission bakit nya ko pinasa.. To think na thousands are aspiring to pass the board exam and I'm one of those lucky board passers.. Malungkot lang pero siguro sa ngayon lang toh.. Masaya ang Nursing! Masaya maging nurse.. Iba yung fulfillment when you touched others lives.. May buhay kang naisave.. Iba ung feeling kapag nakita mong ok yung pasyente mo or makita mo syang ngumiti.. Iba yung saya kahit mahirap!

Pero ngayon, sawa na ko maging company nurse.. I don't have the right to complain kasi madaming nurses ngayon ang walang trabaho.. Kaya kahit ayaw ko na tiis lang.. Hirap din kasing maging tambay.. Nag-aapply naman kami sa hospitals and abroad pero wala pa ulit bago eh.. Alam ko naman na may plan si God sakin.. Kung hindi pa nya ibigay ngayon siguro hindi pa talaga dapat.. Pero I still hope na sana makahanap ako ng work na stable saka yung masaya yung environment.. Iba kasi pag masaya ka sa ginagawa mo.. Kahit pagod ok lang.. Just like nung nagtraining ako nun sa QMMC kahit walang allowance just for the sake of experience lang, i enjoyed it kasi sobrang lucky ako na mabait yung mga co-trainees na nakasama ko.. Miss ko na sila!!!

Sana sa susunod na Presidente ng Pilipinas bigyan nya sana ng pansin ang Nursing profession.. Sana mabigyang halaga at pansin ang mga nurses.. Hindi biro maging nurse kasi buhay ang nakasalalay dito.. Malungkot isipin na madami ang naghahangad na magtrabaho sa ibang bansa dahil sa maliit na sahod dito.. Hindi natin sila masisi.. Kaya sana may magawang aksyon dito ang gobyerno!
