Its March, and I havent been travelling which is my goal this year. I have been planning a lot of places to go to but then the rest of the circumstances just did not get the memo. I guess i just have to wait it out and believe that something great is going to come out of this. I still have a lot of other plans like doing my civic duty, heping a community, take care of my business and other personal accomplishment goals and to be positive about it. It is just the first quarter of the year and the fact that I am writing about it is still a good sign.
If kris aquino can write about her unrequitted love, why cant we. ( well, for one shes Kris Aquino) maybe TMI that she is, she also needs her closure. And when blogging about it somehow eased her pain it could probably give us a new perspective - I mean just me. I realize that when I wanted to write about that guy - I don't even know how to call him- it wasn't a relationship, he wasn't even a fling or we dated, it was probably more that we hung out if there would be a label. He sort of the guy I talked to and spent some time with. We talked a lot and then we stop talking. And you know what they say about the "almost lover" situation someone is always left hanging. And then belatedly, I learned that he slept with a common friend, the one who introduced us. I always suspect that there was something but then he denied it not that I have the right asking but I still asked in passing. But this informatin now is no longer relevant to me. I just moved on and it was just a relief. I could regret all the time and effort I invested in that label less whatever and my lack of foresight. I still need to delete photos of him in my phone though Im probaly just waiting for someone new to be able to replace that space there.
On a tangent, we have this annual evaluation with the company I am working and we are rated based on our sales performance and other matrix. Meanwhile there is also a part where you need to write about your own behavioral assesment - for example for your customer service experiences where you able to recieve commendations from your subscribers, or how you execute a certain project, or you inhibit strong leadership skills or a team player. I was the first to submit because I was off duty the day the deadline of the evaluation must be submitted so my worlmate called me how it was done. I told her just write as if you are writing a college paper, and you just have to write it based in experience and what you believed are your strengths as a person and as an employee for the past year. There was a guideline and I just followd those and write from the best of my knowledge my personal accomplishment as a customer service rep for the past year. However, when I thought about it, i realized that there are still some things I forgot to mention about my strenghts because maybe for being subconsciously not wanting to sound self promoting. For instance, I thought about my willingness to take on any role assigned to me, my open mindedness to change. My civic mindedness, volunteerism, my ability to resolve conflicts, my assertiveness and my cool headed way of handling irate customers. Plus I just try to be healthy so as not to get sick and inconvenience my co workers due to scheduling constraints. However, i do file vacation leave each month to travel because that is my respite. As I was writing that note, I tried to remeber the cliche words, that i need not put there - like when writing a resume ie, traits like responsible, hardworking etc., We do feel like we need to downplay our accomplishments and strengthsas not to sound concieted or cocky but sometimes, its also feel good to be validated and know confidently what you are good at.
I am now playing secretary to my brothers who are nominated for the 75 outstanding citizens of our town. Since they are all out I have to coordinate with them, email and send them the docs needed to be filled out and sent back. Can you imagine, all three of them are nominated but none of them are a bit interested. But we dont want to disappoint friends who nominated so i tried to convince them to at least fill out the forms and send back. My eldest brother is a police officer, graduated from PMA, he is and a good man, very proper and never corrupt. My second brother, is a genius who spent most of his time in college, graduated from a top university, (UPDiliman) top 11 of his Chem Engineering board exam, but he's not working as an engineer. I just always thought that he never utilized his full potential. But thats his life and hes my brother, i still love him anyway. And then my youngest brother, is a pilot. I just learned that his exact title is a serch and rescue pilot for the Phil Air Force. He sent back the dox thru email because i bugged him everyday. So maybe, they have accomplished something in life but there is more to it. They should make a difference in the lives of others and the community that they are serving and I am confident they are able to qualify for this requirement.
Summer is here, I am excited because i already have vacations lined up - meet up with my aussie friends in April, the holy week, hopefully we could push through with the Sakura festival in Japan, first week of April and then labor day weekend in Boracay.
