Sit back and Relax!

How do I know my schedule for the day? Planner? To-do lists? Calendar activities? All of these are useful for me. Ever since I was in college, I already have a tough and tight schedule for a week. I’m a type of person who know what’s my schedule for the weeks ahead. It’s in my body system. Doing planners or to-do lists give me relaxation. Crossing out things I’ve done gives me fulfillment. It encourages me to do, to learn, or to work more.

What I’ve learned is that managing time and organizing files are the key for a smooth sailing work. These help me a lot to really balance everything with my work. Also, I always start to do and finish difficult jobs first. This is to help me realize I can do great with less prioritize jobs. I am an accountant. Busy season starts in January and runs through the end of April. Whether you work in public accounting or commerce and industry, it’s crucial to develop ways that give you enough time to take care of your loved ones, and yourself. 

So, I need to relax and have time with God and with my family. This is for me my meditation. Meditation for me is having time for myself. 

Balancing work and family life has been an issue in the accounting profession, especially public accountants. Job burnout strikes due to physical and emotional exhaustion. To avoid this, I control my time, and work for a purpose, not just to reach deadlines. Entering MBA studies is one of biggest challenge for me at the moment. But for me, this is my work-life balance. I should also give time for my personal and professional growth.

Family is important. I am an only child, but my parents never treated me as a spoiled brat getting all the things I want. Yes, they are strict and protective but it helped me grow as a responsible and independent woman. Family are whom I love the most.

God is my ultimate source of strength. I attend worship services in our church. I am also a choir member. I made a pledge and devote myself to Him. I won’t let my love for God grow cold. Sometimes I feel like it’s not going the way I want and it makes me want to breakdown. But, I know God is there to guide me to His plan for me. I always ask God for forgiveness, guidance, strength, and love for others.

I find time for pleasure. Pleasure is not just a three-days’ vacation leave. I can do a five minutes’ pleasure by just resting my mind, eating chocolates, playing my favorite mobile games, or even a full belly laugh rejuvenates me. Spending time with my family, attending church activities and worship services, and giving myself a personal time are always in my Sunday schedule. For me, it’s always been a happy feeling whenever I have fulfilled my duties and obligations in our church. That’s why it has never been a burden managing my time. Sunday is my re-energizing day in my life. I spend more time with the people who stimulate and inspire me to be the best person I can be.

Life is not stressful. We have lots of priorities but time has never been an issue. There is always time for everything. I make time for it.

Where I am?

Observation and Experience: “What do you feel today?” the first question that followed a series of questions that run to my mind on the morning of the 1st of June. I answered I feel great. Do I feel great when I woke up? I don’t even know why answered it, and it fell on my lips. I just know that it will be a common and ordinary day for me. It was long ago that I can’t remember when was the last recollection I have attended. I also can’t remember the memories. However, I thought of one experienced I had when I was in Grade 6. We had this retreat and the surprise of the school administration to us, graduating students, was for our parents to attend the last activity surprisingly and reconnect with our family. To cut the story short, I was one of the students who they haven’t contact the parents or guardians. Though I wasn’t expecting them, I just felt sad for myself whenever I remember those days when I feel bad about myself alone. Nevertheless, those were the memories I remembered...

Help the community!

To be a Lasallian business leader, one should understand the social and environmental challenges of the society and not just his/her own organization. I was amazed that graduate studies at DLSU do not just focus on the business aspect but for understanding the community as well. It is a good way in which we will actively participate and collaborate with different social groups. Our class visited GK Farms. It was a new experience for me since I was amazed at how the community is solid and motivated by their vision. It was a brilliant idea for Tony Meloto which is the founder and father of Gawad Kalinga to come up with a community that is driven to change the life of those who are in need. Their vision really struck me which is to raise the global movement of 500,000 social entrepreneurs in 2024. This is a statement on how everyone should be encouraged to come up with a business and live using the resources that came from that business. It was also a good experience for us to mak...
