I Love My Job

One thing I learned in life is that no matter how your job seems to suck, you have to love it. You should wake up every morning and psych yourself by saying, "I love my job, I love my job, I love my job." Say it like an incantation, and try to convince yourself. 

Who says that working would be easy? Sooner or later, you will come to realize that working is not just all about the money. If you're an elementary school teacher like me, prepare to NEVER get materially rich. But, remember this: Ten years from now, when you see your students all grown up and successful, you will come to realize that being a teacher is not so bad after all. Finally, the realization would sink in and then you would be able to say now, with conviction, that you really DO LOVE your job. 

There are perks to being an elementary school teacher. There are perks to your current job. . . maybe you just have to wait for quite a while to find out, so, don't you just quit yet.

Here Come The Businessmen

It's the Christmas season once again. Here come the businessmen! Apparently, people forget what Christmas is about. Some use the Christmas season as an opportunity to do business. It's sad, but true. Everywhere you look, establishments like department stores commercialize Christmas and promote consumerism and materialism. Businessmen work double time during Christmas to sell unimportant things to people. People in return get suckered into buying things that they don't need. They get suckered to buy things for other people even if they are not obliged.

People may argue that Christmas is a time for sharing and giving gifts so that's why they do these things. What they don't understand is that Christmas is not just about giving gifts, or charity work. What they don't understand is that Christmas has become too commercialized that its meaning has been forgotten.

What is CHRISTMAS really? Is it really Jesus' birth? Or is it just an invention to promote materialism? Do your research and then you decide. Are we really required to give gifts on Christmas day? Should we continue making these opportunists rich? The answer is up to us.

My Paranoia Comes to an End

Admit it. You too have become paranoid about that Mayan End of the World thing. Whenever there's a doomsday prediction, I can't help but be a little paranoid about it. It's not because I have so little faith. It's probably because I'm a sucker for doomsday predictions, and I can't help but think, "What if the prediction is right?" December 21, 2012 came and went, and it was pretty much an uneventful day. There was no blackout. No aliens. No flood. No nothing. Late at night, the apocalyptic film, 2012, was shown in Star Movies. People regarded the film funny, now that the End of the World did not come. . . yet.

I'm sure that the End will come. But I hope that it's not so soon. I just hope there would be no more doomsday predictions because they really make me paranoid and nervous. I guess i have to strengthen my faith, because the end is uncertain. I guess this irrational fear comes from unpreparedness. I'm just glad that I survived the said Mayan Apocalypse. In 2013, i'm sure i would not waste my time on trivial things and make every moment count. We really don't know when the world will end. But we know that all good things come to an end, so we better cherish these things before it's too late.
