Who Moved My Cheese?

Perhaps I'm just used to working too much that I don't know where to draw the line any more. Although I love my job (No kid, I really do), I must admit that there certain times that I feel I'm debating with myself. Is this all worth it? Giving more than 100% and dedicating practically my entire life to my job is exhausting; yet there this sense of satisfaction being able to accomplish so many things. Whether or not people appreciate me, I feel so rewarded. I know God has a smile on His face right now with the things I've been doing for Him. =)

But let's face it. Where I am now and what I am earning is not even close to enough if I want to have a family soon. Not that I'm about to settle or anything. Yeah, sure, it's just right for a single woman like me living with her family, living a simple yet fun-filled life. But it won't be like this forever. I feel like I hit a wall or something, telling me this is as far as I can go. Should I start searching for greener pastures? Or is it just right to stay here?

And so I return to the story, WHO MOVED MY CHEESE? by Spencer Johnson. (Highly Recommended)


MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST STOP ANALYZING THE SITUATION SO MUCH
AND JUST GET GOING AND FIND SOME NEW CHEESE.

GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE.

WHAT YOU ARE AFRAID OF IS NEVER AS BAD AS WHAT YOU IMAGINE.

THERE IS ALWAYS NEW CHEESE OUT THERE.


Which mouse am I? Am I Sniff and Scurry? Haw? or Hem?

Cheese.

writer's block? it can't be!

Ricky Lee mentioned in our program that there is no such thing as a writer's block. A true writer has words, sentences and compositions running in his blood; and I would like to believe that I am, indeed, a true writer.

But sometimes, I am not inspired enough or perhaps I'm just too tired to finish an article. I usually do well with crammed compositions, but now... I'm waaaay over my deadline and I still can't produce a decent paragraph - not even a lead.

Once I get started, I know there will be lesser problems. Now I just have to find a way to flick that light open and start becoming the writer that I am!

New year. New life. New leaf. New ME?

New everything! So long 2009 and hello 2010!


So let's talk about 2009...
It was pretty.. fun! Though there have been a lot of tight notches, I still made it through. (Thank God!) 2009 felt like forever! I've learned a lot of new things with work, people and stuff. I've been able to handle tough situations. I've cried a lot and I definitely laughed a whole lot the past year.

There were traditions that weren't followed, but altered. And of course, there were those completely eliminated from the scene. Hearts were broken and mended. Smiles faded away and just sparked from nowhere. Friendships ruined and rebuilt - reconstructed and made stronger. New circle of friends were formed... others were weakened... but that's life!

I loved 2009 for all the things it brought me - all the despair, the tears, the happiness and the love. And now, as I face 2010, I can't wait for more memories to cherish and moments to share with my loved ones, family and friends.

This year will be spectacular! I won't change much; I will grow. I will mature and be a little bit more... er, serious? Goals must be set to be achieved. I know I'll do good this 2010. Just you wait.


(Yeah, what a start?! ---I know! It was badly written... oh well, gotta get back to work)
