Blog Challenge #8

DAY | 08 If you could have any job in the world, what would it be? Okay, I've failed the 30 day blog challenge and I am saddened about it because I want to prove to myself that I am not only good at starting something. The past few weeks had been hard for me because I ran out of ideas, words or maybe procrastination strikes again. I feel sorry for myself, I am way behind the challenge. I'm stuck in day 08 I can't find the answer to the question. I don't even know what I really want, what I really want to do or to become. There are many things that I want to do, things that I want to explore, I want to learn, I want to discover but I don't even know how to start it. The struggle is real. Although, I've already failed I still want to continue the challenge, even though it would take me more than a month to complete  it.  So, for day 08 topic question, “If you could have any job in the world, what would it be?” I want to have a  job that is related to

Blog Challenge #7

DAY | 07 Views on religion. Hmmm, this is one topic that I stay away from because it is very sensitive and it sparks an argument and I hate that. For now, I just want to keep this post brief and simple. I am a Catholic but I don't want to say that I am religious. I believe in God and the son of God, Jesus Christ.  I occasionally attend the mass, I joined their festivities but I have read the bible only once or twice. So, I can't answer the questions about what's in the bible, who said this, who said that, and the let's say the "technical side" of it (I'm not sure if I use the right word).  For me, as long as you have FAITH in the religion that you choose to believe in then that's fine, I don't mind it, I don't question it, I respect your choice and I do hope that people would also do the same thing.

Blog Challenge #6

Day | 06 Top five pet peeves. 1. LATE . Time is important to me. If we decide to meet on a certain time, I am there 30 minutes or an hour before. But I live in the Philippines and we have this thing called "Filipino Time" which means the person will turn up an hour late or more. I value my time deeply and if you value the person you would not make the other person wait for you, right? One time one of my bestfriends made me wait for almost an hour, the next time we had to meet up I showed up two hours late for them to learn a lesson that it is not easy to wait for such a long time. 2. LOUD CHEWING.  Arggghh!!! just thinking about it pisses me off!! 3. SLOW. People who walk slowly in the sidewalk or stop suddenly. Maybe because I walk fast, even my parents and friends told me that I walk too fast. 4. LINE CUTTERS. Don't you think it's unfair for people who've waited there for a quite some time, endured the pain of standing and then you suddenly cut

Blog Challenge #5

Day | 05 Your day in great detail. Chao! I was supposed to post this one last night but unfortunately, there was a sudden power shortage and I was not able to save my work (facepalm). So, here instead of writing down how my day was yesterday I will tell you about my day today, so sorry! 6:00 AM - I usually wake up late but now it's different because I need to accompany my mom to her school office. She asked me to do some tutorial or remedial class. I tried to get some more sleep but I heard her voice calling me. NO CHOICE I need to get out of bed. Take my meds (Simeco for my hyperacidity) and had my morning prayer. 6:05 AM - Made my bed. 6:10 AM - Went downstairs, sat at the couch and stayed there for a moment. 6:20 AM - Took a quick bath because we need to leave around 7:30 in the morning. 6:35 AM - Went upstairs, cleaned my room, need to decide what clothes to wear, something not too formal and not too causal. Finally made a decision and ironed the blouse

Blog Challenge #4

Day | 04 Your current relationship. I am currently living a single life but to be more specific I am in the state of moving forward. I had my heart broken nine months ago and I today I will tell you what I did to move forward and the good things about it. A friend of mine once said to me that the cure for anything is saltwater: tears, sweat or sea. She advised me to do this three things for she assure that I will get better. So, I did these three things. First, I cried almost every night, though I didn't tell my brothers or parents about it. Every broken relationship is painful. You just need to learn to stand because if you let it overflow you, then you lose. According to Augustus, one of the main character in John Green's book,  "that's the thing about pain. It demands to be felt". Sometimes you have to let yourself wallow in despair because it is the only way for us to learn, for us to grow and for us to continue living.  Then I enrolled

Day | 02 Where you'd like to be in ten years? Hmmm, this is quite hard for me, especially now that I recently quit my job but I didn't find one to replace the previous one. I actually didn't plan of anything, I just wanted to quit. I know, I know I am that foolish. I don't know if you've been in a same situation with me, I know that I will be happy when I resigned but I am also worried for my future. So, why did I resigned? It's just simple I am no longer happy. It's very shallow reason to some but to me that is the biggest reason why you should stop doing the thing.  I know it's irrational and it is very difficult to explain.  Going back to the question, where would I like to be in ten years? I hope I will find the answer that I've been looking for. I am living abroad, probably New Zealand with my own family. I am working in a company where would bring out the best in me. I always wanted to join in a tour or events company

Day | 01 I was so bored at home and I feel stuck because I haven’t done anything productive in the past few days then suddenly when I was about to go to sleep this idea popped out and I decided to search about it. I wanted to write but I can’t get any inspiration and I can't think of anything but I guess the biggest reason why I couldn’t get anything done it’s because I’m LAZY or in Tagalog TAMAD! Ako'y isang dakilang TAMAD!!!  Have you ever been in a situation wherein at first you're so determined to do something but then when you are right in the middle of it you got tired and lost interest into it? It always happen to me. Now, with this challenge I wanted to prove to myself that I can do this called "30 day blog challenge". For the first day, I have to write the basic things about myself. I'm Ma. Gladys Alterado, my friends call me Glads or Gladys. March 27 is my birthday. I'm 25 years old.  Currently living in Talisay City, Cebu.
