Being The Bad Guy

5:49 PM Unknown 2 Comments


"I don’t mind being the bad guy, because somebody has to fill that role to get things done...You gonna be bad, be bad with a purpose. Otherwise, you’re not just worth forgiving."
-Damon Salvatore from the Vampire Diaries.


As I said from my post "Confused Officer", I was the secretary of organization which means that for this school year, I'm going to be a part of the Advisory board of the said org. Normally, I don't really give too much care about the thing they do in the org. I receive an update from a previous co-officer of mine about what's happening every once in a while which is more than enough for me. This is what also happens to my other co-officers and some doesn't even know what's happening.



A few weeks ago, our college held an org bazaar for a week to let the students join different organizations for this school year. It's the only time where an org is allowed to accept members. After the first day of our org bazaar, my previous co-officer told me that they've only managed to sway around 10 members. I know it's only the first day but then, compared to what happened in our term, we got around 30-50 members in our first day. So I asked why and she told me that no one's keeping an eye on their booth most of the time. If there is, he/she's alone which makes it too hard to approach a flock of students.



Long story short, I got into a fight between the present officers. I admit it was my fault. I sent a text message saying that they shouldn't have accepted the role of being an officer if they couldn't find the time for the org. Of course, they got offended by what I said but I regret nothing. Someone has to beat some sense at them even if it makes me the bad person. It's for the sake of the org anyway.

But it doesn't mean that I like to fight with people, it doesn't feel good knowing that there are some people whose mad at you. I'm not the type of person who feels a sense of satisfaction after an argument. Until now, I still feel bad about it.

Beating Monday Blues

9:35 PM Unknown 1 Comments


A lot of us complain about Mondays. Back to our hectic schedule of school and work, back to our stressful daily lives after our fun relaxing weekend. 
 
“The ‘Monday Blues’ describe a set of negative emotions that many people get at the beginning of the workweek if they’re not happy at work,” says Alexander Kjerulf, an international author and speaker on happiness at work. “It contains elements of depression, tiredness, hopelessness and a sense that work is unpleasant but unavoidable.”




Feeling those negative emotions at the start of your work would also create a negative impact with your performance and productivity. A lot of people hate Mondays because they feel the intense pressure, sadness and anxiety with all those stress that keep coming, especially for those who hate their jobs or unsatisfied with it.

BUT! You could at least stop feeling blue! We all have to feel the excitement of having a new opportunity to do better with our studies or work. 


Here are some things I do to stop feeling the Morning blues, hoping that I could share it with you.

Planning and Keeping Myself Organized
Before my weekend starts, I organize my time table to see how many free hours I have to enjoy my weekend. It is important for me so I wouldn’t waste too much time and not forget my home works I need to pass by Monday and Tuesday.
By Sunday night, I get my things and clothes ready so I wouldn’t feel disoriented when I wake up the next morning. I feel like I could take on the stress and those works to be given for the new week ahead.

Completing as much work as I can as soon as I can
Completing works ahead of time means I would have a lot of time to enjoy the weekend and not worrying about the works stuffed in my room. Procrastination and cramming may mean you’re going to have time to do whatever you want to do but when you completed the works sooner, you’ll still have a time and not worry about things you have to do.

Do something special with my weekend
It doesn’t have to be grand. It could be done with a simple stroll in the park with your pet or go see a movie that you’ve been waiting for, or anything that you love to do. So when you’re about to sleep, thinking if you even did something fun and useful, you could say to yourself that you used your time wisely.

Have an Early Start
Heavy Traffic, rush hours, and the busy crowd of people are things I always consider every Monday so I wake up extra early than the rest of the weekdays. Waking up late means not having a time to eat your breakfast, facing the heavy traffic, you’re in a rush. So don't stay up too late and wake up early. When I’m organized, it feels like those works are easier.

 
I hope these simple things that I do would help you fight the Monday Blues. Remember no matter how much you hate it, don’t complain about it. You might not know it, but it could affect somebody who hears your whines and complaints.

But if these things didn't manage to help you, you should find out the reason why you're still feeling blue. Have a list of 'whys' and tackle each problems stated.

Enjoy this coming weekend!

Just Sharing A Good News

6:10 PM Unknown 1 Comments

A few weeks ago, I joined two blog contests (you can see it through the 'nuffnang' tab) and yesterday, I saw new mail indicating that I won both. I was so ecstatic when I saw it. It's my first time to join a blog contest, considering I'm still a new at blogging. So I'm writing now, hoping to share my happiness with you.

The first contest is about writing about some designs of a brassiere that would suit your fashion. The first 100 bloggers to submit in the contest would be the winner which is pretty easy but of course, I still wrote a pretty good post about it. This is my first contest so I took it seriously.

I thought I wouldn't make it to the top 100 since I took my time into writing this post. Thankfully, I'm still part of the first 100. I won two tickets of Man of Steel at Resorts World Manila: Newport Cinema. Unfortunately the location of the said cinema is almost a 4 hours drive from our home. Thinking that it wouldn't be worth it considering our budget for gas, parking, and our food, my brother and I decided not to go. :(



The next contest that I joined is the Schick Man of Steel Contest. We have to write a blog post, answering the question "If you had the powers of Man of Steel for 1 week, how would you use it?". It's kind of a big thing for me. Superman is my all time favorite superhero since I was a child and this time, they would choose the best entries. They didn't even told how many winners would be chosen.

  

 




So it took me about three days to write my post and then, one night I dream about the dolphins being massacred at the sea. It gave me the idea that I should right about the planet and animals that are suffering because of us. I don't like to be just exactly like what Superman has been. I want myself to be somewhat different to him. He's saving the humankind and I'm saving the planet which is really needed as of this situation (global warming and other issues).




By the time I was writing that post,  I wasn't thinking about winning the contest. I was trying to at least make my reader aware of his/her surroundings.

Thankfully, I am one of the winners of this contest and I would bring my dad since father's day is about to come! Yey! The prize of this contest is also two tickets to Man of Steel at Shangri-La Cineplex. I don't have much money to buy a gift anyway. Besides, I put much effort to win this contest and I consider this as my gift to my dad. Haha.

I'm quite proud of myself to win both contest that I joined. Imagine my joy when I saw this mail yesterday. :)) I'm so excited to watch the Man of Steel!

Importance Of Time Of Birth

9:50 AM Unknown 1 Comments

I went to a bit different seminar last week and learned something new. For those who always want to know more about themselves, especially those who likes to know what kind of personalities they have, this is something new (for me) and different.

Psychological test almost involves hands on test; answering questions, drawing random things, taking a series of test, and stuff like that. In astrology, the oldest branch of Science, tells us the importance of time of our birth. Prediction through astronomical phenomena is main of the functions of Astrology. Unfortunately, Astrology has been rejected by the scientific community for having no explanation for the power of universe.

Today, I won't talk much about the Astrology and stuff, but what I learned from it. As I said, Astrology said that time of birth is important to make calculations and predictions. It is up to you if you'll believe this or not. For me, it's not a loss if I would believe it or not.

These are the meanings given by the AstrologyForU:

As said in my birth certificate, I was born at 10:45am...
It is said here that I'm a self disciplined one but I couldn't agree that much. There are times that I let myself to do just whatever I want to do. I'm not that sure that I would sacrifice EVERYTHING to achieve my goal. Of course, I am willing to sacrifice a lot but I also have my own limit.

"If any body comes into your way, you will not hesitate to eliminate and pave way for reaching your goal." - I guess this is true. Once I see you as a hindrance to reaching my goal, without a second thought, I would really get you out of my life.

"You are very much prone to authority, materialistic and you will flourish well in your life." - Okay, I'm going to admit I'm prone to authority but I'm really trying not to be realistic if you have read my previous posts. The part were I would flourish well in my life, I really wish I would.

"You a have a special feature that makes the people to remember you." - You see, there's a reason why I called this blog as The Journal of an Ordinary Young. People tend to forget me. I don't have that 'special feature' that makes people remember me, unless I poked their eyes out or pulled their hair. I'm not really doing these upon meeting a new people, but you get what I mean, there's nothing in me that would definitely stand out. If there is, I'm sure that's something negative and such, about me.

What about yours? Does it says the same about your personality or not?

Confused Officer

7:54 PM Unknown 1 Comments

Last time, I posted something about my first school day. There are other who asked me why is it that just when the academic school year is over, I'm just about to start mine. To answer that, I'll just remind you that I live in the Philippines, which is a tropical country by the way. Our summer season starts from March and end in May which means our vacation falls in these months. By June, our academic school year starts. I know in other places, this is the start of your summer. On the first week of March, we take our finals exams then our summer vacation begins.

Enough about those months and I'll start talking about the title. Last school year, I was also an officer of a student organization as a secretary. Honestly, I don't have any background about it at all though it was easy to learn about it; Minutes of the Meeting and such. Though I manage to pass all the Minutes of the Meeting, I admit my performance was pretty bad. I wasn't able to propose a project to our org. In my defense, I really tried to do it. I work on those requirements, yet it wasn't because of my deadline.

At the end of our school year, the vice president and I managed to pass a single project. It was our only project for the whole school year. Both of us decided to give the credit to the president of our org since we thought that it would be embarrassing for the president and because of the small problem that happened between the three of us.

After those, I told myself that I wouldn't be an org officer again.

Then my friend text me when I was spending my summer vacation away. She told me that they're desperate to have an officer for their org. Their org consists of 9 officers and they only have 3. She pleaded saying that their org isn't an org, theirs is a 'part of the body' , 'vanguard of the truth' , and such. She said that I don't have to work on a project proposal since they would only have 2-3 projects for the whole year which is fixed. They are the commission on election.

Thinking that it would be much easier than my previous org, I said yes much to my friend's relief. She said that I could be a secretary again or a legal officer, so I didn't mind since I knew what should I do. Then when the school year is about to start, she told me that I'm the finance officer of the group. I am surprised. and scared.

I don't like to handle lots of money especially if it isn't mine. I couldn't refuse. Anyway, she said that I shouldn't worry since I've got a template where I could just edit it. So I started to work on it right away, thinking that I wouldn't want a pile of work and crammed.

Then yesterday, the president (which is the said friend) told me that she's been waiting too long for the budget proposal. Of course to my surprise, I wasn't able to say anything. I've finished it long before the school starts, it wasn't my fault that the cover letter isn't ready yet. That's not my job.

Thankfully, the previous president told her that it should be her or the secretary that should do the cover letter not me. Whew! I'm still worrying about the reimbursement of our money since we paid for some materials we used. Hopefully, I would manage to do my job efficiently for this school year.

Transform Yourself With Schick

 If you had the powers of MAN OF STEEL for one (1) week, how would you use it?



Superman is my all-time favorite superhero since my childhood days. He chose to use his superhuman abilities to help the humanity and protect us from all kinds of dangers. He has a very strong unwavering moral and sense of humanitarianism. His powers are like of a god yet due to his past, he is more human than the rest of us.




If I would have the chance to experience his abilities for a week, I think I wouldn't be just like him. Superman used his powers to protect the people from the villain but as for me, I would rather protect the Earth itself from human beings. I see Earth just like the Planet Krypton which was being destroyed but for unknown reason.

I don't see a lot of people being too concerned about the Earth's condition. Most of us don't care but there are others who even abused God's given gifts...



I would stop all kinds of illegal activities that rapidly destroying this planet. Since I would only have a week to do it, I would advocate for saving the Earth and all the species living here. Remember, God made us to be the stewards of his creations yet we consciously or subconsciously destroy this planet.


Stop the animal abuse. Stop destroying our nature.



Lots and lots of people try to educate us about the global warming yet only little changes has been made. Why? Try to imagine a group of people tried to clean up the beach voluntarily and then another set of people would come and held a party at the said beach. Afterwards, numerous pieces of trash are scattered around the area but they won't give a damn about it, thinking, that there are others who would do the work.



"Doesn't matter, had fun!"




There are lots of people, especially those celebrities who have their own charities. Since they're popular, they get a legion of supporters to help him/her achieve the goal of his charity works. And once I had the super abilities of superman, there's a big chance that I would become so popular and more people would definitely took an interest and listen on what I say.

This would be a great time to show the people that we don't have to have superhuman abilities to be a hero.

Everything would be such a waste if we didn't do anything about it. Look how wonderful our planet is and how much change we could do to save this.

What about you? If you had the powers of MAN OF STEEL for one a week, how would you use it?

 You could also join this Schick's Superman Promo Contest available in Nuffnang to win movie tickets and enjoy the special screening of MAN OF STEEL!

First Day of School

11:03 PM Unknown 1 Comments

Yesterday was the first day of our school. I'm not really expecting something since I'm on the same block as I was in last term. Same old, same old. I'm not expecting classes either because mostly, our professors don't attend our class first day but I'm quite surprised that most did.

Our class starts at 11:30am and ends at 9pm. It's new to me since most of my classes for the past few years starts in the morning and ends in the afternoon. I'm not complaining but I don't know if I should be happy or not either. By the time I was home last night, my head is throbbing. My dad told me that maybe I'm not used to it yet.

Thing is, the reason why I'm not that happy with my schedule is because our house is 1 hours away from my school if the traffic isn't bad at all. Though during rush hours, it takes 1 1/2 hours to go home r to my school. I don't live in dormitories, my mom doesn't want me to, saying there are lots and lots of temptation when I live in dormitories.

"It's not you whom I don't trust but it's people around you that I don't." -my mom said when I asked her.

Besides, going home everyday is far cheaper than renting a room or a unit. We're on a limited budget anyway and I can't ask for more since my tuition fees are too high. It's dangerous for a girl to travel at night especially in our city so my Dad would get me from a terminal so I wouldn't have to use public transportation that much.

Nonetheless, traveling 3 hours a day takes too much time especially when I really need those to do some plates and it's too tiring. No matter how much I want to live closer to school, I would still want to go home everyday since I don't get too comfortable with other places and I would definitely miss my mom's cooking and her caring.
