I want to power-up my potential and improve my skills

Working as an office secretary for a private school has been an exciting journey I have trekked in the past six years.

Prior to my current job, I was a clerk in an insurance company where my career can be summarized into two words: encoding and filing.  It’s not that I never had fun in my previous company since I still cherish the great memories I shared with my former office mates.  It’s just that my work now opened a lot of great learning opportunities for me.

As a school employee, I was involved into various activities and helped me discover the many “ME”

I became a team player when I was introduced to co-workers from different departments which I get to interact everyday.

I made new friends who encouraged me to develop my talent in singing, acting and dancing and perform during school programs.

I got to try to be a risk taker and conquer goals I never thought I could accomplish.

I believe I am now a high flyer who is willing to try new things to discover what more I can learn and share.

I am so inspired with the great change I have embraced that I became a story teller as a blogger.

Today, I am happy to be someone who is excited to learn new things.  I want to try my hands to something that I haven't done before as a working mom. Even if I got used to being busy at work and at home, I still want to unlock my skill of doing multitask at any given time.

Why? Because as we all know it, life is to short. We should do things that we really want to do that we often times take for granted because we think we don't have time for it. One don't need to have super powers or to transform into a robot to be able to multitask, it's just proper time management, a keen sense of responsibility and prioritizing what are the things that need to be done soon and can be done simultaneously.

Once I master the art of multitasking, I can definitely finish my work on time and have the luxury of finally experiencing stuff from my bucket list. I know I can do it and I will definitely work on accomplishing it. I should just take my time, take a break and move towards attaining my goals.

Greatness Starts @Home

My son Charles is officially 3 years old today!

It’s just amazing how this little boy who once I can cuddle and carry with one arm is now a dynamo who can be a handful nowadays.  He still manages to elude me even with all my arms and feet on full throttle to chase him.

At his young age he's already shown that he’s a up to the challenges that life’s gonna offer.  He survived pneumonia when he was just 9-month old.  He convinced his doctor on Christmas eve that he is A-Okay that we were allowed to go out of the hospital after more than a week of confinement thus avoiding his first-ever Christmas to be celebrated in a hospital.

He has asthma but is always brave to battle it.  He drinks his medicines with just little arguments with us, asked for “good smoke” from the nebulizer and pray “Help me, Papa Jesus” when coughing becomes a bit intense for him.  We told him that swimming will help him conquer asthma.  Thus, he loves the water.

For a mom like me, I can consider these things as great accomplishments for such a young fellow.  I also made a list of his other top accomplishments to date:

1.    Pretend to read in his sixth month.

2.    He scored 90 while singing “Somewhere Out There” in his first try in Videoke.

3.    Finished Level 1 of  Call of Mini Zombies in iPad all by himself.

4.    Can do the Rockstar look and angst.

5.    Could be the youngest gold digger ever.

Those maybe just "cute" achievements to some but for me, they are priceless moments I am realy proud of.  I believe and hope that someday my son will be someone who can do good things that will benefit many people.  I don’t care what he'll decide to become when he grows up as long as he will be happy, productive and can bring out all the best in him.  I will support him all the way and I believe that greatness starts at home.
