"Happy Three Kings"

My 500 Words

"Happy Three Kings' Day"

 So Back to Work Today...I think I've greeted at least  a dozen of  my co-educators, teachers & colleagues, Happy New Year; Happy Three Kings. To some, the latter didn't seem to resonate with them anymore. They may not even remember the three kings' names not unless they have a Bible background, or was a regular in a Sunday school. If ever they paid attention to my reaction to their seemingly odd facial expression, I was somehow disconcerted. I think that's what I get for expecting too much from people or just maybe that that we used to celebrate in reverence is no longer a "hype."

Taking Down The Christmas Decors...

This year I dare to do things slightly different and see whether that brings me more creativity in my thinking and work. Doing something new is always a good challenge; a workout. So, this year, 2014, I decided to keep my Christmas decorations till today. My mom's analogy on this is to fully embrace the completion of the entire Christmas/ New Year's celebration. And the blessings will also come in full circles. That may be true but  that's primarily the reason I waited. I just want accessibility, feasibility and where that takes me. Enjoy its every moment that I am a part of it...

Keeping Tract Of My Time...

I'm keeping a log & journal of all my activities. I want to have a clear picture where my time is going. This includes even my time writing a blog for 31 days; networking, watching television shows, reading, exercising; "people to see and places to go." I'm sure I'll be finding that some of the things that I'm doing are off my core objectives. I just want to identify them concretely through chronicling data of how my time is being spent. With that analysis drawn after reviewing them, that will reveal where my disconnects were...
It could have been that one of the major issues for not achieving a unified pace is setting boundaries. There are still many times that I let people invade my time and space. Or worst, not setting higher goals for myself. May be because you don't see many people going  and chasing for their dreams anymore. Some of us have lagged for so long we think we're okay. We're so confined with the parameters the society has embellished into our minds  devalued, downsized, mitigated integrity.
I really wish I'm wrong with my perception.

Keeping It Real...

What happened in the past can never be restored nor recovered. That's baloney if somebody tells you that. That's why we are to choose to be 100% be in the moment. Be respectful of my presence. Don't multi-task when you're talking to me. Don't be thinking other nonsense people or things if you want real communication. Don't infuse things that are subsidiary to what we're talking about. That's not being selfish. That's letting the other person what you can take and what you can ditch. Otherwise, a masquerade of fowl plays and games emerge if you're not honest with what's holding you and keeping you grounded in this life.

Till tomorrow.
