I wrote something again in my love journal

It's been such a long time since I last updated my livejournal and when I opened my email today, I got an alert that one of my friends wrote something there hence I opened it and I saw this writer's block theme: weddings.

Funny, I was telling Bert last night I wish June would end cause everywhere I go, whatever channel I watch. Weddings are being talked about. I feel stressed. He said, why are you soo stressed? I don't know why - actually I know why. I know that I'm being pressured about that thing even if I know it's too far away.

Anyway, I wrote something about it in live journal. To read it, click here.

Also, I'm here at home right now. Working here cause I'm sick. I think stress is getting the better of me. Honestly. Or maybe it's just me looking forward to things and events that are going to happen.

July - FYE
Aug - MySAP ERP Upgrade
Sept - well, I'm not suppose to say what's going to happen but something BIG is going to change and I'm soo scared cause I think this will be the end of me. Haha.

Anyway, hopefully October will be calm. Ooops. Wait. That's PPR Season. Damn. >.< (reminds me of someone... hahaha)

Then November - New FY for us. Damn. All my hopes and dreams for next FY is gone. I really have to talk to Ron about it. I just hope that everything will fall into place. I have to start thinking about my future already. :O

I'm OKAY but I don't feel that great

I'm here working from home. It seems like a long time since I last wrote here. Actually, there's really nothing to write. Nothing interesting has been going on in my life. It's just work, work, work. Weird but I feel like I'm tired of work already. I need diversity but I don't want to add more work to what I'm doing. Or maybe, just maybe, I'm just not inspired to work that much anymore. As opposed to when I started working for my current company. Everything was new thus I was excited. Now, I'm not soo excited anymore.

However, I still have to keep on it and I feel like the changes that will happen to me this coming September are signs that I have to do well and I have somewhere to go after where I am right now. I guess I just want some more incentive from the company that I am in right now. A trip or something... A change of environment. New role or something. I guess I wanted soo much that wasn't offered to me. Sometimes, I think about it, where am I lacking in? I know I lack technical skills but is that their only basis? I feel like I did a lot of things for the company and then just this.

If they're going to just look at the technical stuff then I assure you, I won't be able to go anywhere. I should just be content as to where I am now but knowing me, I'm not content. I just hope that I will get somewhere.

I got a sermon again from my mom

I don't know when this will ever end. I really do hope that it ends soon. But knowing her, I dont think it'll end soon. That's what I'm scared about. Next week, Bert will bring me to the office everyday. I'm actually worried about how I'll get home on Wednesday and Friday. If this will be the same for all of the weeks, I don't know how we'll ever get through this. I want us to be able to get through this, I'm just scared. I don't know if Bert is with me in this. I dont want him to get soo tired also. I just hope that I'll find a solution for this.

I had a fight again with my mom.

I really dont know when or how this will all end. I'm thinking, is it menopause? If it's just that well, it's bound to end 5 years from now, right? By that time, I'll be 28 years old. My God. Old. Hopefully, by that time I'm out of the house already. I actually can't stand it anymore. But I can't just pack my bags and leave. Not like how my sister did it. Come to think of it, I think things got worse when my sister left. I guess they're really more affected by it compared to what they say.

What are my course of actions? Well, hopefully, I'll be earning soo much money that would make me be stable enough to move out of the house. But then, it's the same thing as what my sister did. Wish they'd allow me. But then knowing them - they won't. I wish my job would entail me to travel more so that I'm out of the house often. That's just synonymous to saying I want to move to ADSI. But then if I move to ADSI, I'll probably be in FICO. Start all over again and be with people that I dont know all too well. I guess in the end all you can think about is which is more important to you? Not knowing the people around you or your condition at home? Hmm.. tough choice.

Another plan is to move lightyears away from home. Meaning, relocating. Looking for a job there. My only problem, how? How will I get a job there? How will I relocate? How would that be with Bert. If Bert moved abroad, I'm hoping that he'll be able to take me with him ASAP. I know that it would not be immediate but it's okay. I'd rather start a new life there. Without people getting on my case all the time.

Dreamy! A life wherein I'm the master of my actions. A life wherein I'll learn to decide what I should do. Yeah, it could be difficult but at least its my own life. Not something dictated upon me.

Geez. I sound like a prisoner. Maybe I am, in the comforts of my own home. I've changed. A LOT. My eyes are opening to reality. The reality of life. The hardships of life. But the sweetness that comes with overcoming those hardships. Come to think of it. Yeah, I have a great life but I'm not that happy. I guess we always want something more. Am I greedy? I guess so. In a way, but I long for a life that I want. If all fails, there's no one to blame but me.
