This morning we attended a First Friday Mass at Callbox. I forgot the name of the priest but I didn’t forget his homily. I went with Amy and Monica. Not everyone—actually—nobody else knows that Amy and I had a “cool off” phase in our friendship except Jeffrey and Monica. I really don’t remember the reason why we drifted apart for almost 6 months (it started the week after we came back from Baras, Guimaras) but we just stopped hanging out together. Before that happened, we were always seen together during lunch and break time. If Amy eats lunch, I eat lunch too. If I go to sleep, Amy goes to sleep too. And often we just sit at the couch at the 3rd floor and just talk about random things. And oftentimes we laugh and share secrets and personal stuffs happening at home and in our lives.
Then came that fateful day when we just stopped talking to each other. It was as simple as that. And I told Nong Jeffrey and Monica about what’s happening. And I also learned that Amy was talking to the two of them as well. So nobody else knew what was happening except the four of us. If our co-workers noticed, they didn’t ask. They were kind enough to leave us alone. What makes me happy with that kind of situation was that even if Amy and I were “not friends” we weren’t spreading rumors or bad things about each other. We weren’t gossiping about each other. And the secrets we shared were still secrets.
I’m telling you this because it relates to the priest’s homily. His topic was about love. Love for your special someone, love for your family and the love for your friends. That for love to last, you only not have to FEEL the love or THINK the love but also importantly to BE WILLING to love. Amy and I looked at each other on this part of the homily and we just giggled. J By the way we’re friends now. We talked to each other Friday of last week. To make the story short, we just hugged each other on Saturday morning. We missed each other. And we weren’t selfish to say that. I actually shed some tears. Hehehe. But that simply means that I love my friend and I value her. We’re hanging out together now. There’s no tension between us and everything is back to normal. It’s as if nothing happened. Nong Jeffrey and Monica are happy for the both of us. Amy is such a great friend and I would hate to lose her. I hope she reads this so she’ll know how much I value her friendship and her loyalty.
Ayms! Friends forever ta ya ha

I have been browsing the www for freelance jobs online and I was overwhelmed by the number of opportunities that I found. Unfortunately, most of these jobs require “professionals/providers” to pay a basic fee in order to be a member. Although the companies that I stumbled upon were legitimate ones I am still hesitant to pay those membership fees because obviously I don’t have the “dollars” or even a Paypal account for that matter. I don’t want to risk anything–yet. I’m new to this kind of thing so its only right that I ask around first and look at my options. Anyway I have heard from friends and acquaintances that there are online freelance job companies out there that requires no fees.
Maybe you whose reading this right now is wondering why I’m looking for jobs online. If you have read my past posts, you would have noticed that I try to enjoy my job even though its so boring and redundant. I am able to “endure” my job because of the salary and the people I work with. If it weren’t for these 2 reasons, I would’ve resigned a long time ago. As a college undergraduate, I think I don’t have a very good chance of finding jobs that could rival the salary that I make now (or I’m just too lazy to find out if there is that kind of job out there. If there is, feel free to email me. 
). Our department’s outings thankfully stops the redundancy even for just a couple of days. So unless someone’s going to offer me a great salary out there, I stay here.
I have heard of people who makes money by freelancing online. They just stay at home, face their computers, do those part-time jobs and bam! they get paid weekly or monthly or whatever terms they want. All they need are their PCs or laptops and an internet connection. They make their own schedules. They don’t answer to moody supervisors or face deadlines and quotas. I want to earn money that way too! So that’s why I’m wasting time searching for those freelance jobs. If anyone can suggest a company that has no membership fee and is helpful to beginners like me I would really appreciate it and I’ll be willing to give you a commission if I’ll be successful too.
I have a better suggestion/idea though. I might as well advertise myself here in my blog. If anyone’s looking for a freelance researcher; copy editor/writer; English to Filipino or Filipino to English translator; Admin/Secretarial provider for data entry, word processing or general virtual assistance; and my forte telemarketing—I’m here, just an email away. Feel free to contact me, I will greatly appreciate it. No spammers please. Looking forward to having business with you.

Just got back from the beach!!!
I’m so tired and my body’s kinda sore. But I don’t mind! We had so much fun at the beach! I love the beach! I love my department! I always enjoy our team buildings and this one was more fun and exciting as you will see in my photos soon. We have also learned lessons from our speakers Miss Ellien Gatpatan of HR and her husband Allan. I’ll make a post of those lessons learned here as well.
I haven’t downloaded the photos from my camera yet but I will surely upload all of them here in my niche this week.
For now I’m off to bed first. I actually stayed up for about 40 hours! Ta ta!

We’re having a company party this Saturday! But I don’t know if our department is going to be there though because we’re also going to have another team building activity at Bantayan Beach, Guimbal. I’m so excited! I need a break, so bad. I’m going to take so many photos so that you guys will see the beauty of Bantayan as well. How I wish its already Saturday.
Look at this poster:
