Just My Monday Morning

It's Monday morning. Alarm clock set to 5:30 am and the second alarm clock set to 5:40 am. So Ok after the first alarm clock bells, that's my signal to stop dreaming. I lazily stretch my arm reaching that alarm clock and make it stop before it can actually disturb others sleeping in the other rooms. Eyes still close but my system already awaken and if I was having a beautiful dream I will try to continue it and see the happy ending. If I dream nothing, fine, I will think of some plans to make my day more interesting. When the second alarm bells, time to open my eyes and adjust my eyesight in the dark room; intently checking each corners, the walls, the ceiling, and the door. Sometimes I wondered why I need to do that. So I got up stretching my veins, settling my mind yet still feeling skeptical with the whole idea that it's Monday morning and need to do my thing again in the office. Time for basic hygiene routines and sometimes deciding what to wear and how to do my hair. And now that I'm ready, it will be time to walk but almost running actually as I need to drop by at a Filipino hawker to buy food for me. From there I need to take the MRT going to the bus station where I can ride the bus going to my working place. I should have a perfect harmony with time as 1 minute late at the bus station will take me 15 minutes more to wait for the next bus. That's why literally I'm already running just to get there in time. Way back months ago, I feel very exhausted but after awhile my system is already used to it and in fact I'm loving the idea of exercising every morning. It allows me to have extra energy all through out the day. I find it healthy in a way.

When I finally reach office, that's the time to loosen a bit myself, say my Hi and Hellos to my colleague catching what they do on the weekends. Luckily my employer is kind enough to provide us a pantry where we can prepare coffee and in my case cereal or oatmeal for the morning. Usually my first thing is I check work emails while drinking my cereal. I can also take some small bite of bread to make my breakfast complete. Taking vitamin C also is always part of my daily dose. And the rest is work, work and more work.

Sometimes I feel that the stress I'm getting is overwhelming as most of the time, I develop systems, debug codes and program system logics. Quite tricky but perhaps I am bound to compel as my body is actually anticipating such profession because it's where my thing is. Coding is fun but sometimes I cannot elude that same pattern feeling of entrapment like you are always inside a box. Sometimes I envy those who chooses from start a career that can actually make you embrace the beauty of every living and non-living things on earth. It’s not that I regret what I have chosen but it’s just merely giving an answer to my curiosity. But if given the chance, I would love to have new career where I can actually give help and show compassion to people by servicing them first hand like in medical field treating illnesses, managing a Foundation Home reaching those who needs help and imparting knowledge to students which I already did last 2009. And I'm actually planning to go back next year.

I always love to be of service to those who are in need. If someone will ask me what's in my dream list. I would say Hospital, Foundation, School, and Farm. Dreaming is free so it is ok to dream big. Perhaps someday, I'll be able to achieve this. Let’s fly with our dreams.

'Till then...... ^_^






I'm inspired again with Owl City

Ever since Owl City's Vanilla twilight and Fireflies came out last 2009, I was already captivated by how each lyric brought me to a wonderful imagination full of innocence and life. All the songs in the Ocean Eyes album from top to bottom simply captivated my interest. Maybe because I can always connect to dreams, fantasies, imaginations, hopes, and even despair. Sometimes trapping my mind to different horizon to escape the pressure and stress from reality. That's why I always love the fantasy characters in every novels that I read. Owl City songs became my partner here during my first few months here in SG. Wherever I go I always play it in my iPhone. I'm just so glad to know that they have new album just released this year called "All Things Bright and Beautiful". I browsed youtube yesterday and the music videos were brilliant. All I can say is Adam Young (Owl City) is blessed with a magical voice that can actually bring music from past, present and future. That's the reason maybe many people loving their music which includes me. Wishing him more success and many albums to come out.

I'm excited. Few days more and I will say hello to my hometown. Embracing life and love.
