Days 17

These days I am always on the lookout for an extra income. You know that phase, when you finally realize that your salary is no longer enough for you to get by, I mean, when you calculate so thoroughly that at the rate you're going you wont have the money enough to afford a decent living. I am in that stage right now, especially when I discovered just how crude the policies in salary increases are in my company (it's barely noticeable) So you look for different ways but you just cant catch a break.

I must admit that I am hopefully wanting for this blog to make a profit someday, if I become good enough in writing. But as of the moment I can only see myself writing for an audience of one. There may even come a time when I finally realize that I dont have enough talent for this writing gig and call it quits, but not today. 

Aside from that I try to make an extra income off of survey sites and youtube videos. Unfortunately, the only ones that did work is the survey site but then it was so small that I hardly felt it. As for youtube videos, the only thing that did went popular was my uploaded video on network marketing, but then when I figured they are just desperate sellers of products using my videos to persuade their contacts to buy, I decided that it's not worth it and now I am in the stage where I need to reinvent myself. Baby steps First, this, and then videos and maybe create my own site one day.

Another is to find a way to freelance my skills somehow. Make use of the eight years I had going in accounting and accounting systems and earn a quick buck here and there, but these things need training and I cant afford training right now. Someday, I hope I can be a tax lawyer but for now, its still a prayer.

Lastly, one thing I really want to do is to start a business. Like what my mentors are doing. I kind of admire their courage and skills for being able to start a business albeit the risk of failure. I hope one day I can rise from the ashes of my failures in network marketing a come out as a successful entrepreneur. You never know.

Then again, I can just quit my job and look for a better one with a clear policy on salary increases and bonuses, But thats another story

Days 14

Less than a year to go before the presidential elections and he media has started a coverage frenzy on who would be the potential candidates. When I was younger I feel so hyped out whenever this period happens and even though I am too young to vote, I was still excited. Now, more than three elections later, times have changed, I have witnessed a lot of those politicians say their piece, have their chance in the limelight, be suddenly forgotten, eat their words, join a former rival group, the works. I've somehow develped an apathy towards them. Like no matter who the politicians would be, it would not make a difference. They are all one and the same. They would cheat, change sides, do some shameless advertising, all for he sake of a win. All for the sake of money. I've seen them unravel their true sides. The ones you thought were heroes were just as controversial as the villain they were trying to fight. It was all a matter of perspective. The oned who reveal the information to ...

Days 16

You may have one of those things in your past. When you were young and you thought that you are free to do anything in the world. When you felt like every moment should be seized and every dream should be fulfilled. These days it can easily be described as YOLO. You know, you only live once. But then one day you wake up all grown up and have taken a few responsibilites here and there, with the wisdom enough to do better than use Yolo as an excuse. And then, on one fateful day you see the remnants of what you did in the past and just have a look of disbelief and suddenly ask yourself what really made you do it in the first place. You know, the after effects of those wild things you did when you were young and free. I happened to have that same experience today, and it was equally shocking as the last time I had it. Still, many people can consider me a late bloomer. I was right in that. In my student days, I studied like my life depended on it and literally had no time to dawdle around o...

Days 22

I am finally home and am early! It's all thanks to God. He probably planned it in advance. Well, thanks as well to my office mate Niel, who happened to live in Almar. So with all of this, a big thank you! Which gives me time to write for the day since I'm not as exhausted as I would be. Today we went bowling. It's not the typical competition bowling where I had to do my best and be nervous all the time, it's the relaxed version of bowling, where no one really cares about your score and you eat tons of food. The only score you'ld care about is your own, and I have actually done pretty well when I'lm not nervous. Only that, I can't help but remember the good bowling memories when we were in a tournament and everyone has to do their best. I've seen so good techniques that I feel like no one in my team can actually compare to our usual players back then. A strike for them is usual, most of the time, they strike or spare. It's not unheard of to get double...
