One day, you will call me 'BOSS.'

For those fresh graduates who are now working, how do you assess yourself in terms of applying and using what you gained from your studies? Before anything else, I find this old write-up of mine for our "yearbook." Although it doesn't look like a write-up that you can put in a yearbook, this is what I want to be read by my fellow graduates when they turn on my page.

"The dilemma that high school graduates felt is not as terrifying as when you have one foot left at your college school. Corporate world is just intimidating and full of surprises. There will never be exams, only application of all your subjects combined.

The moment you set foot on the outside world means you have to surpass first a twisted labyrinth before you can raise your flag for triumph. It is, in many ways difficult yet in every dead-end, there is always something to pick-up – if not answers to life’s questions, lessons to help you find those answers.

           Everyday, a new door opens for those who find the keys to unlock them. When situation gets worse, it is always good to look back to when we are starting to learn how to read and write, when red ballpens send us scary remarks and when we, at the end of it all, can still study for the next exams we will encounter. It is after all, a cycle wherein we can make the same mistake twice, or even thrice. But it can also mean that we can always learn, for it is never too late to correct what we can." 

           In time, it will be our generation's turn to rule the corporate world. At some point, we will cling to the years we are still studying, afraid to open doors and have doubts in ourselves. Soon enough, we will be seen on television, we will be asked for our expert opinions, our names will be published in newspapers for the progress we are making in business world, we will have our signature chase by our subordinates, have offices of our own with CEO, President or Director on our doors while those who enter have to call us Sir, Madam or even Boss. Others will be authors, reporters, doctors of different fields, politicians - WOMEN will lead. And that will be the time I achieved everything already.

So inlove back then - Super inlove now

21 days before OUR much-awaited big day. As I reminisce, I suddenly remember my first ever note for him in Facebook. Luckily and with God's blessings, we are getting stronger. Together, we learn, mature and enjoy everything. He told me last night, "Before we reach our dreams for one another, we should chase our individual dreams first, for it will be US for the rest of our days." Let me share with you how I felt during our first month together:

To Froi-glet:

In as much as I hate remembering my dream as a musician, I never thought that I would be writing again like this. It never occurred to me that one day, I’d dedicate my handwriting to someone who was once a stranger to me. Writing is one of the many frustrations I have, it is never friendly nor good to me, for the fact that I don’t know how to compose words beautiful enough to say. But as far as I know, one of the best ways of expression is through literature. Composing a song has been an option but it would take much time and effort. It will also mean that I have to sing it for you. That would be a job for a singer, not for a musician. And I don’t like the thought of humiliating this day. In short, I am not a singer. So I thought of writing. I may not pick up the right words to say, but surely you can tell how important you are to me that it triggers the curls of my brain to struggle to the best of my ability to say everything I hardly express.

Dear you, it has been a happy one month since you shared your smile with me. You are very consistent and you still reach for excellence for the subject “Make Jam Happy.” You always took me by surprise though I really don’t like surprises. LOL. I didn’t even know that someone as understanding as you would be alive. Or would even exist. You seem to not know the existence of the word NO because you always say YES to me without even bothering to hear any explanation, because you already understood. That’s so cool. You are so cool. You always think that I’m lovely and pretty. Tell me, what kind of eyes do you have? If not for you, I would still be clinging to the back of the door, scared for what’s been waiting for me. I would not know the feeling of being very confident for the first time. It’s like saying in the morning, “Wake up and let’s go!” without the need of looking in the mirror first. How good does that sound?

Up to this point, I still wonder how in the world God knew what I was looking for. I didn’t ask him anything, but you came. I wish I could share you in some little ways to the other girls, but that can’t be! And maybe, I am just this lucky. But somewhere in this happiness, I ask, ‘how long this would last?’ Well, the hell I care :)

To the deepest of my breath, to the tangles of my hair, to the veins of my heart, thank you.

P.S.

I love you

(big time!)

Happy love friends! ♥

With open arms, October

                I’m back to writing! 

How’s everyone’s weekend btw? Me? I took time to rest my body because come Monday, I’ll be facing new challenges at work! I have to break a leg, so they say. Haha! I did the usual stuff: Ate meals with my family, dated my guy, asked about my friends and relaxxxed! How I love weekends! And because of too much relaxation, I lost track of my schedule and wasn’t able to write another blog. So here it is. :)

Today is the 3^rd day of the tenth month of 2011. I welcome October with embrace and I thank you September for such a wonderful month. Any guess why?! October is my 4^th month at work. I remember 5 to 6 months ago my struggles to find my first job. Right now, I am thankful of how smooth my life is going through. I am happy with my work especially when I went beyond my sales quota. ACHIEVEMENT! I just wish that there are no boring times and lazy moments and more motivation. Well, I still find those as factors for a balanced work, reminding me to slow down if I am stress, to reflect if I am doing everything right and as told, to keep pace of my activities. Nevertheless, I’ll keep my spirit so as not to disappoint God, my family and myself for the most part, take advantage of my earnings now because next year, I have to get serious and start saving for my future. If there is any, hahaha! You see, my point here is there will come a time that you have to get yourself out from the seriousness of life and just have fun because there’s a timing for that, for everything. Just make sure you know how and when to straighten up and proceed with the hard work.

October also is just a month away from my guy and I’s anniversary – our first year together. How fast time flies. It was only then when I look back that I realized I don’t want to be in a relationship before, after my last heartbreak, that I’ll just go and wait till the right one comes and let magic do all the work. It has been a tough decision to commit yourself when in fact you can just fool around with the opposite sex. C’mon, we’re young! But you have to admit that at this age of our life we tend to look forward and worry about our future, especially in finding the husband-to be who we will share all our life with. Yes, you can have all sorts of guys, date and go out with them yet at the end of the day, you will still long for that one man to whom you can rest your head with, share true and lovely kisses and be a kid at the same time feeling like a grown-up woman. True? Life is just full of surprises. Here I am now, inlove and happy without the slightest bit of fairytale in our story - just one true love. You will find yours too, don’t ya worry. *Wink

Happy birthday to all my friends who will celebrate their birthdays this month! Oh yeah! They’re a bunch of keepers. If people were gifts, I am so blessed! And my Multiply account http://jamisjamming.multiply.com/ will be 3 years old this month! Yey! So what now? Make the most out of your October and make sure to take pictures of your special moments with the special people in your life. Happy 10^th month everybody!!! :)


→ If we are to celebrate Halloween here, what would be your costume? I love to be a witch! HAPPY TRICK OR TREAT!

Welcome! ♥

Testing 1..2..3..

Hey there visitor! I've been thinking a lot already of ways on how will I organize all my thoughts in this blog. I tend to be impulsive when it comes to putting into words all that came in my head. Sometimes, it takes days before I finish an entry. But when I am in mood and I found an inspiration, I finish it in one sitting.

I'll be posting old write-ups that I did in the past. This is not my first ever blog but I did justice on introducing at least my page. I am still in the process of beautifying my layout so as not to hurt my readers' eyes. It will be all fun and interesting! And oh, btw, thank you for visiting and for taking your time to read this. Feel free to read everything, comment or suggest.

See you in my next entry! 

Xoxo, jammy ♥
