090909


Posted by edcel in me.

Yes it was a nice experience. I wanted to be discreet and tried to change the date in my Facebook account but somehow a number of people were still able to write on my wall. I also got some good text messages from colleagues at work and greetings from some family members. 090909 was good. It could only happen once in a lifetime; I’m glad I was able to experience it.

happy bday edcel

Yeah, that’s my name in chocolate. Too sweet to handle. Ngork.

September


Posted by edcel in life, me.

It’s the start of the ‘ber’ months and what better to celebrate it than to spend –> sheesh, I’d get a whack from a financial adviser if he hears this.

Darn it, I’ve been burning cash as if I had all the money I could spend. Maybe it’s just an itch and I’m hoping it would stop.

I love September, it’s my month. hehe. 090909 is almost up, what will I be doing; better yet, what have I done? Sigh. One of those questions that pop up every turning point in life. Anyway, let positive energy lean towards me; I need all the optimism I can get.

scarface

scar

No, I did not watch the movie nor do I remember seeing the movie but the title is such because aside from the pursuit of looking for random pictures because I don’t have any idea what to blog about next, I just want to share another tidbit in this self-absorbed blog author.

I have a scar on my left eye that was acquired when I was still a kid. I asked my mother why I have this and she told me that I couldn’t sit still when I was still a toddler that I ran and fell, face forward and my eye hit the rim of a glass. The impact must’ve been really great considering that they had my left eye stitched.

I find it cool right now as I can always come up with a story that I got this off from a car accident or through training in an army or while working my ass off when I was sent to a remote place for a mission. Now I’m talking bull already. Haha. I know I should also knock on wood 3 times because of those statements.

5 blogs, all personal

The blogging environment makes me wonder how I’m able to maintain 5 blogs at a time. I don’t even know the answer. hehe

a frustration


Posted by edcel in life, me.

One of my frustrations is being involved in Multimedia. Somehow, I’m inclined to being creative without really pressuring myself to be good at something. I like taking pictures, editing them and showing them to other people. It’s something that I consider a hobby that I enjoy doing, aside from blogging. I was told to take this passion to another level, something that I can try to do as a profession or even just a sideline. Actually, I have plans, but nothing would really surmise as of the moment due to the thought of being unstable is what digresses me.

I dunno why I took up Engineering or Economics in the first place aside from the love of Math. Probably because I’ve had the notion that I wouldn’t really excel in a particular field, but just be good at everything. A jack of all trades, a master of none. Put in me in Business, put me in PR, put me in Customer Service, put me in Arts, put me in Media & Technology. I’ll show some potential, but I won’t fully develop.

Anyway, like I said, I want to share this hobby to other people. I like the way I’m being appreciated for coming up with a good concept or project. I just need to have more focus, since I’m still a bit lost in that part.

Want to work on film.

travelling soloflight

Travelling hasn’t been one of my lists of things to do last year but somehow, I almost end up doing so. It’s a nice retreat cause you get to explore the different parts of the country. Though my boundaries are still limited, it’s still nice to be able to go out and see nature and its beauty.

Hopefully, I’ll still be able to do that this year.

2009 goals


Posted by edcel in life, me.

By The End of 2008

  • Camera
  • Credit card
  • Passport
  • Personal Computer
  • Update my school records

I evaluated the list I created last year. I seem to have achieved the goals I’ve set upon myself. These material things I never thought I could have but I’m very glad I was able to get them.

Now I’m feeling a little bold so I’m going to create another list without really even thinking if I can get them all but they seem pretty manageable still.

By The End of 2009

  • Digital SLR
  • Laptop
  • Trip Outside the Philippines
  • Pay off My Old School Debts

It helped a lot that I was able to read Robert Kiyosaki’s book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”. It was my eye-opener at times when I felt that I couldn’t when I could. It gave me the much-needed motivation in order to achieve these goals. Instead of thinking about how much was being spent, I should think about how what I need to do to in order to earn more than what I spend. In turn, I was able to buy some stuff that I wanted without compromising as much the things that I needed.

I’m also reading his follow up book “Cashflow Quadrant” which discusses the different types of employees and where we should be placed in order to have financial success. Though it’s still a bit long considering the mess that I’m in, the hope and the determination into doing something better than what’s expected of me is what I’m setting my eyes on. Which reminds me, I still have to finish the book so I can return it too. It’s been with me for almost half a year and I still haven’t finished it. Sheesh.
