Notes to Self VIII

Recently, whenever my parents/bosses didn’t have a task for me, I did a few job interviews. And not one employer gave a job offer; not even an entry-level one. I thought all the rejections I have taken since the COVID-19 pandemic had toughened me up, but it still breaks my heart whenever a potential employer doesn’t take a chance on me. I truly feel like giving up on hunting for a web/graphic design job and just focusing on the clerical work that I have now.

Then recently, while I was binge-watching the American crime mystery/dramedy series Castle, I heard a quote from Richard Castle (played by Nathan Fillion) for his daughter Alexis (played by Molly Quinn) that hit my heart.

And that, my friends, is my 8th Note to Self.

10-Minute Warning LXV

OK. What can I share here in under 10 minutes?

In my current job, the 1st and 2nd weeks of the month are the most stressful. So today Mother told me to work on the billings already. I usually work on those billings for at least 3 days, but I finished them all today. What a productive day. All I have to do tomorrow is to print the billings and photocopy the service reports.

Yeah. I know, I know. My job sounds boring. But at least I’m earning money from it. Average salary, but still earning. And speaking of jobs, I’m (still) looking for a web/graphic design job whenever I don’t have any tasks.

What else? Well, I’m going back to doing aerobics tomorrow. Lately, honestly, I feel weaker and I get sad whenever I look in the mirror. Just walking and jogging are not enough. I need to burn more fat and lessen my sugar intake as well. Wish me luck!

And time’s up.

10-Minute Warning LVI

So, what can I share here in under 10 minutes?

I woke up groggy and dazed because I slept late last night. And then the weak feeling turned into this massive headache. The good news though is that I only worked for a few hours today, so I was able to get an extra hour of sleep. Eating and taking a nice, cold bath helped get rid of the pain as well.

And what’s the other good news? I enjoyed watching The Legend of Bruce Lee on Netflix with my Mother and Father. We started watching last weekend, and we have watched 4 straight episodes today. Here’s to more wonderful bonding time with the people I love!

And time’s up.
