Time to Change

Everyone desires to change the world but no one would want to start the change within themselves. It is ironic for one to change the world if he can't change himself.

Changes can be seen as either revolutionary (something totally different from what has been) and evolutionary (a refinement from what has been). It is usually easy to accept change as a simple refinement from what is usually done than to accept an entirely different or new changes.

Most of us don't want to change because change may mean personal loss and change requires additional commitment. Often it is describe like this joke: "How many people does it change a light bulb?" Answer. "Four. One to change the light bulb and three to think of how good the old light bulb was."

The same thing happen to us who would think of the past than to move on and make change. There is no change that is so easy to do but when we are all convince to change we slowly adapt and when we are all doing it, we didn't realize that there is something else to do. We got stuck at what we usually do. Even some of us, during job interviews says, "I don't like a routine job." But when you are in that job for 2 years you seemed to like what your doing. Funny but true.

Is it time to change? When do we need to change? What should be changed?

To quote:

The wrong decision at the wrong time = DISASTER.
The wrong decision at the right time = MISTAKE.
The right decision at the wrong time = UNACCEPTANCE.
The right decision at the right time = SUCCESS.

Getting Over You

My space was doing fine when you were not yet part of it. My space was gloomy and laughter is louder now than before. I was not looking for it but it came and entered the space I have been trying to protect from strangers like you. And I welcomed a stranger.

It was indeed a beautiful experience. I have sailed the sea wherein I fall, I cried, I laughed, I was broken hearted and now I am getting over you. Funny thing is that I smile every time I see something that reminds me of you. I definitely can say, I have moved on.

It is better to have loved and lost than to never loved at all. At least I was honest, and I hope you are too. If you're not, you will get to experience guilt and it may lead to heart attack. (I say, Good Luck!)

My sentiments for this heartache will stop. It will start by the time I posted this.

Microsoft wants Yahoo

Now here's another story for a possible billion purchase of one giant company, Microsoft.

Yahoo was the first search engine that I love. When Yahoo said that they have to spend $300 million this year just to revive the company, Microsoft wrote the board and offered 62% above Yahoo's closing share price. Microsoft's Kevin Johnson said that the combination will better compete Google.

At Yahoo, there had been a lot of executive quiting their position and there had been an announcement of the intention to lay-off 1,000 staff as part of the company's restructuring plan. With Yahoo shares going down, it will definitely have to study Microsoft's offer in a close door meeting.

If this happens, what can be its name?

Here's more of the story. Microsoft wants to purchase Yahoo.

Feeling the Love Month

Is the month of February an emo month?

For sure there will be color red everywhere. Hearts and here and there. The prices of flowers will go up again. There will be chocolates too.

I hate the 2008 February month. Why? I hate it because my 4 year relationship ended last month. So I don't like to see others being sweet with their partner.

I don't particularly feel the love month. What I feel now is sadness and being lonely again. The good thing about this is that I am working too hard now just to forget and let go. It is working but it is working slowly. I would like to wake up one day that I am practically happy about the fact that I have the chance to love someone again.

I am happy with work, with life, but not happy in heart. When I started announcing that I am single again, there are a lot of people whom I turned my back on when I was with that relationship, were the same people who supported me. The people whom I thought were against me, were the people who gave me flowers and bracelet and chocolates.

What about you? What is your feeling about the love month?

Am I Bugging You?

This is for everyone who knows me and reads my blog.

If you still don't know the game, you have to be friendly in any social networking sites to make them curious about you and then read your blog to know you better. That's the way I see it when I decided to be a blogger last May of 2007. Everyone in the blogosphere join this and that and invite their online friends to this new social networking sites to earn more friends.

I have facebook account, myspace, friendster, and twitter. These are my active accounts which means my day is not complete without logging in to these sites. There are a lot of times that I asked somebody's help on reading my blog, giving me feedbacks and all. I really appreciate that, it is one thing that I must consider to be thankful of because it makes me better.

Alongside with blogging is an opportunity to earn. Although I have to admit my first intention was just to write about something and hoping others would read it and give some comments. I have learned along that you can not just write what you feel about this and that. There has to be basis and not to write about your anger online.

So please, my dear friends both online and offline, I was just inviting you. You still have the discretion not to read my posts. I'm not bugging, let say, begging you.

Yours Truly

Tired
3 hours of sleep

Sleepless Nights

It was one of the sleepless nights.
Truly it was tiring, but just can't seem to bring myself to bed.
Scrolling up and down.
Reading this and that.

My back hurts a lot.
I was not sitting properly.
Talk to him and her.
Writing emails for him and her.

Unproductive evening.
Daydreaming doesn't work this time.
Instead watching how Heath Ledger was taken out his apartment.
Absurd.

Up again, walking to the bedroom door.
Lay down.
Stretching.
Trying to close my eyes and imagine what if I won't wake up tomorrow

Scared but really wanting not to wake up
Get up from the bed again.
Backed to my computer.
Surfed.

Indecisive
Don't know who to follow mind or body.
Body wants to sleep
Mind don't want to go

3:30 a.m. I should be in bed

Lessons on Blogging

I Digged one post of Ben Cook about lessons on blogging. It is so much true to keep your private life as private as possible. I tried to blog on my love life for the few months I have started blogging and even though it didn't backed fire at me, I am still sure it will happen if I continue on writing about it.

My personal lessons are:

1. Never be afraid to try to write on something then post it after because you will never know if you made a mistake or not.

2. There will be people who wouldn't like your blog. They will tell you negative things and all stuff that breaks your heart. In order to win the battle, don't mind them. You are not born to please everyone.

3. I know Wendy Piersall will not agree with me, but I would always try to write at least once a day. I am a rookie and I need to learn. No body in here will tell me what to do. It is better to make that mistake now than make the mistake later.

4. This is the greatest lesson, time management. You can write posts anytime but it will never be helpful in the long run. I am blogging because I wanted to earn and at the same time tell the world my thoughts. Write blog posts during those times when it is not in conflict with work, with family and with anything that is important in your life. Thou shall not write blog posts on weekends.
