On Laughter

If you do not know me, I bet your first impression of me is that I am mataray. Due to that, I do not have many real friends. I usually do not fit in so I guess that urged me to be a jokester which is in direct contrast to my taray expression. Laughter breaks the ice. Laughter makes it easier to get in with a group.

I like to portray that I do not take anything seriously that I cannot laugh about afterward. I have this thinking, “ang pikon ay talo”. If I could joke and laugh about anything and everything, I will fit somewhere eventually. Once I am accepted that is when I will have the chance to show my alter ego after they have eased up and laughed at me.

Laughter is truly amazing. Its keeps you younger and it brings down walls a bit to let the real person come out. As they say, Laughter is the best medicine. :)

On Wishing

People never seem to be contented with what they have. People always want something they do not currently have. People strive to improve themselves to be better individuals. I assume each individual would love to rub a magical lamp and gain three wishes.

Personally I yearn to travel. In almost 4 years of slavery, I never had the chance to work outside of the country. I have been assigned onsite, but just around the corner. Whenever an onshore opportunity comes around, my ears rings. At least it would be hitting two birds with one stone --- work and "play".

I just had interview for onshore work. The specifics are not laid out yet, but it would be a long term assignment. Now I am confused, is this really what I want? Is it worth it to change policies? In the long run, would I benefit?

Tsk tsk.. I should be careful for what I wish for cause it just might be a reality.

On Contentment

Time off is appreciated. There are no deadlines to beat. There is no urgency to come in early. I can relax and do “what” I desire for eight or so hours and still get paid!

Facebook is wonderful filler. Status updates, photos, videos, games, quizzes and the list goes on. I wonder how one can get bored. Then again, it is tiresome to add “s” to “http”. What a waste of time!

I move on those various instant messengers. However, I am not a friendly person. Thus, I do not have a huge selection of people whom I can engage with decent conversations. Then again, most often, many have a lot on their plates. So why bother to chitchat.

Of course, the most obvious thing to do is to explore the World Wide Web. There are tons of things to discover --- trivia, news, events --- random stuff with sense or whatnot. Then again, eyes eventually get sore. Back begins to get sore.

Okay, I can relax and do what I want in exchange for some sort of sense of fulfillment at the end of the day. Boredom can kill. Honestly. I am going nuts!

When will I ever be contented?
