I know everybody hates his or her work but I'm not supposed to hate mine. But I am slightly hating it right now.
It's taking its toll on me.
I used to like having an irregular schedule but I'm slightly craving for regularity. The reason why I previously didn't take a part-time job was that I would miss part of my social life and right now I'm missing even family time due to work.
Although I know of these risks when I entered, I think.
Just ranting.

Christmas is fast approaching and it’s very ironic that I work in an establishment that started with the season really early but I don’t feel the “Christmas spirit”. A lot of things have changed since I last felt that I guess. This year, I have a job that’s highly irregular. The perks are great but it’s hard when you’re not sure if you’ll be able to go to a gathering because I’ll only get my schedule every Saturday. I’m not even sure if I’d be with my family during Christmas Eve or for New Year’s. If ever this would be the first time I’d be away.
My job does not give a premium on family since the stores should be open all the days of the year except Good Friday. The manpower in the branch that I’m in is low so there’s going to be a bigger chance that I won’t be having the traditional Christmas. Yes, I’d be compensated much more than the usual salary but nothing would beat being with what I could call my family. My performance isn’t at its best at the moment and sometimes I think It’d be better if I just get terminated.
I know that the word “family” has somewhat evolved to the group of people that you are comfortable with. For a long time, it has liberated itself from being the nuclear ones that you were born to. A lot of families have been broken and mine is no exception. Others try to hide the brokenness but there are a lot of things that should be repaired in the modern nuclear. I guess this is evidenced in the numerous commercials that have been showing recently about forgetting about differences “kahit iba na ngayon”. Some may have thought of me as indifferent but still I have dreams of my family being together or at least just having resolutions. I know it’s almost impossible that my parents would get back together but them being able to not hate each other anymore is also nearing the status of the former. And I’m still hopeful.
I really don’t know where things should be headed but relocation is still lingering in my mind.

Getting in a place that’s known for being really welcoming doesn’t necessarily mean that it would be the best for you. Each group would still have some work to be done on it. We’re all humans in this world wanting to survive until the end of that possibility but still wars are inevitable. That’s just the way it is. You can’t please everyone.
There are people that would give you the snidest look or tone with some small mistake and there would be those that would be more effective in getting you to improve. You can’t pick your peers, there’ll always going to be some mix. It’s how you deal with them that matter.
Yes, there are people in our workplace that I can’t get along really well but today was an okay day. I have not excelled in performance measures although there’s some sort of improvement but in relating to co-workers, it was above the usual.
Got home today with thoughts of continuing my marathon of either On The Lot or How I Met Your Mother, but I saw the burned Weeds CDs on my desk. I asked my friend Monique to burn me episodes that she had downloaded a few weeks back and finally they found their way to my desktop. It was a great change of pace since How I Met Your Mother had totally sucked me in. It’s only been a couple of days and the season DVD is almost over.
I remember going through the stalls of Ruins finding something to buy months back. It was full of popular titles like Prisonbreak and such but they did not appeal to me. I’ve tried watching Prisonbreak. I loved the pacing although the editing and storytelling techniques were to repetitive for me. I wanted to take a chance then on lesser-known titles so I got How I Met Your Mother season one and Weeds, of course.
From the title itself, I knew it was going to be edgy. And it was that edginess that I missed after going through the very twisty first two seasons. I wasn’t addicted to it much that I wanted to get the latest episode right away but I did look forward to viewing episodes of it again. So I did view it.
The season-ender of the sophomore run of Weeds left me on a cliff and the two episodes I’ve viewed left me there.
I really don’t understand the attraction. Maybe it’s curiosity, maybe it’s the fact that other people are going through worse than you. The moral righteousness inside of me does not approve of the happenings but viewing it is such a guilty pleasure for me.
I only have eight episodes so far at my disposal and more CDs are coming for me to view. Maybe I should take viewing this slower for maximum pleasure. Just have to enjoy every bit of what you can. Take a breather; maybe it’s good for you.

So, I have restarted again on writing on a blog. It seems that I've just been spiraling on different servers and now I'm back on LiveJournal...thanks to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.2)
the_cloverleaf .
Since my last post, I have graduated from college and I'm now on my first job. My degree doesn't actually fit in the place I work in but I know I'm not totally alone. That doesn't matter much now, actually.
The day was quite eventful as the only thing I did today other than the usual was go to the movies with Monique to see One More Chance. Yes, I am Saulogs and proud. I love supporting the local commercial-driven cinema at times.
Weeks before, I've spotted the full trailer online and I just said to my sister that I wanted to watch this film. It did not strike me as the usual love story where cheesiness would rule while raving fans would violently react with every scene. Well, maybe uber-fans did react that way during the first screenings but this one just was a bit unique.
From the get go, you'd expect that there's going to be fight scenes and waterworks and they did come. Most cuts were emotionally intense but they never did go overboard. There would be some relief from the drama but I'd still be cringing from pain. Blackouts were strategically situated but some sequences were borrowed from popular TV shows.
But nevertheless, I was right that it was unique. Some, if not most, parts are already slightly expected but getting there was very much entertaining. There were elements of being surreal but things were still genuine. The camera and editing was used to tell a story rather than just showing actors acting. The ensemble of friends were a bit hard to imagine as non-fiction but they clicked well.
Lino Cayetano once said that he made his last movie because he wanted to change Philippine cinema. I say that the director of One More Chance is doing a better job at that. Just my opinion.

Did You Feel The Mountains Tremble?
Did you feel the mountains tremble?
Did you hear the oceans roar?
When the people rose to sing of
Jesus Christ the risen one
Did you feel the people tremble?
Did you hear the singers roar?
When the lost began to sing of
Jesus Christ the risen one
And we can see that God you're moving
A mighty river through the nations
And young and old will turn to Jesus
Fling wide your heavenly gates
Prepare the way of the risen Lord
Open up the doors and let the music play
Let the streets resound with singing
Songs that bring your hope
Songs that bring your peace
Dancers who dance upon injustice
Did you feel the darkness tremble?
When all the saints join in one song
And all the streams flow as one river
To wash away our brokeness
And here we see that God you're moving
A time of Jubilee is coming
When young and old return to Jesus
Fling wide your heavenly gates
Prepare the way of the risen Lord

Hungry Young Poets were words that I would have never imagined I would hear on TV right after watching Pinoy Big Brother Up Late. Yeah, I watch the show and I see the deterioration of people who do not have accountability partners or at least close Christian friends that are surrounding them. Anyway, after Up Late, I continued watching The 700 Club, the first testimony was on Operation Blessing and the second was on some musician named Franklin (at least that was how my mind was thinking when it was showing). It was a long one and when I got a bit bored, I switched channels but there was something about Franklin that got me stuck on his story. He was a Pastor’s Kid that had the syndrome. He’s been to major failures and deliverances in his life and God’s faithfulness was indeed true. Sin’s still been trying to creep into him but he made ways towards God’s protection. Eventually he made the group “Musicians on Fire” so he that he was able to minister to other musicians. Yes, accountability with at least one strong Christian is important. It was just wow when he said that he was part of Hungry Young Poets. This was the first band that I actually was attracted to but they split up forming Barbie’s Cradle and Mojofly. And Barbie Almalbis and Kitchie Nadal got out of the bands to have their solo careers. However they went through with their lives, just found it amazing that even before I was saved, God was already orchestrating who I would look up to by getting me attracted with HYP. That and making me follow the developments of the post-split bands and then blessing me with the growth of His Christians on those bands. Wala lang, astig talaga si Lord. And yes, accountability is important. Stig.
Miyembro ka ba ng Musicians on Fire o kakilala mismo si Franklin (hindi ko kasi naalala last name niya)? Pakisabi naman nabless ako sa testimony niya. Ü
Ayun na nga, God has been impressing on me accountability this morning. At eto na nga:
Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.
(Proverbs 27:17 ESV)
Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.
(1 Thessalonians 5:11 ESV)
Oo, minsan mahirap talaga pero eto:
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.
(Galatians 6:9 ESV)
with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,
(Ephesians 4:2 ESV)
Hindi ba nga it is by our actions that the world know? Be accountable ha? Ü
