We Salute You, Sec Jesse

I did not know him personally but upon hearing the sad news I felt a hint of pain and a feeling of loss. Jesse is really a great loss, he had done a lot for our country and he could have done more but maybe it is already his time. For sure, God has better plans for him. He might be in a better place right now.

It’s weird though that I see my father in him. His simplicity and humbleness reminds me of my father. It amuses me seeing him just in a simple t-shirt, shorts and slippers in ordinary an day which is very much like my father.

To the Robredo family, our deepest condolences.

Reality Sucks

Life after college comes my realization of what reality is all about. Days have been rough on me after being in the work force. Things happened hastily that I wasn’t ready for any of them. This past months has brought me so many downs.

I’m having difficulty dealing with the people who have attitude problems and issues with work ethics. Although I was already able to adjust with the tasks and I am already able to grasp all the information regarding my job, the problem with my teammates enters the scene. I also don’t like the fact that the nature of our work is 24/7 and critical jobs must be monitored. Most of the time I feel stressed and pressured. Poor me :( It’s supposedly a long weekend in the Philippines but that doesn't apply to me which makes me more depressed plus the fact that today is Sunday supposedly a rest day but again, not for me. 

So this is reality? It is finally sinking in. I know that ups and downs are part of life’s reality but I must handle the situation the best that I could. I just have to cling to the thought that life is like a carousel sometimes you’re up, sometimes you’re down and sometimes you just go round and round. I may be down right now but who knows tomorrow might be a different turn of fate.

Pardon me if this post is so emotional, but the hormones and the situation is just too dragging.
