The alarm goes off at 6:00 o’clock. I grab the phone and press snooze. I usually don’t allow myself another five minutes, but just one snooze please. Come 6:05 and it’s time to get up. Shower, coffee, and the bus comes. Did you get up on the right side of bed?
It’s the last day of June! After months of working split shifts, we are back to straight back-breaking shift again. Sad! I am going to miss my afternoon naps !!! I didn’t like the 3-hour break at first but i had come to appreciate how it had given me some “me time” in between work. Plus i could do my laundry! And i could read uninterrupted.
Speaking of reading, there’s this book “How to win friends and influence people”. Big LOL no? Trust me you will like it hahahahaha. Not that i liked it because in my opinion, to apply this book successfully in life, you will be required to do lots of verbal communication. No thanks. But then again, i highly recommend it for many interesting reasons. It talks about how people try different approach to achieve the feeling of importance, how they are thirsty for appreciation and how we fail to show it. It discusses how developing a genuine interest in other people impacts positively; stuff like first impression; how happiness depends largely on mental attitude, the impact of remembering peoples’ names, the power of appreciation, respecting other peoples’ opinions, diplomatic approach to arguments, admitting mistakes, motivation to work, criticisms and using praise instead of criticisms, learning from mistakes. Leadership.
Excuse my nonsense.
Currently i am reading the book Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk. I so love it. How do i say... it's morbid, it's terrific. It's dark and hilarious. My style!
Hello July.
We are working for 2 weeks in July and then there’s this week long holiday, is called Hajj. I am working part time, as a sub to a friend. He is unlucky to be working 3 days but his 'other schedule' is conflicting with work for some reason that i know but i am not disclosing. In other words is confidential. So as a good friend i am working on his behalf for a few hours, but this is not for free. As a payment i am askin him to buy me a book called Behave by Robert Sapolsky. Hey if you happen to read this, add to cart now 👌🏼. I have been eyeing this book for the longest time and i am sacrificing few hours of my holiday to get this. Is not the first time i’m subbing him btw. I got the book Norwegian Wood the first time i did. Coffee will do actually but when given options i’d go for something i cannot afford.
The remaining 2 days of the holiday will most likely be spent doing nothing or over doing things but hopefully not to the point of exhausting myself that i would not like to return to work. Ah hoping to finally send the box i have been meaning to send for 2 months now. It’s 50 percent books and 50 percent other stuff. Is my first overseas Filipino box : ) Hope the family will be proud!
Are we ready for the second half of 2021? I’m not...but i’ll face it.
Good morning.
