It's all About Choice

      I've been thinking on what to write for today and remembered my reflections about CHOICE, which I've posted in my Facebook wall 2 months ago. I've attended one of the sessions of our spiritual rehabilitation in dorm and that was one of the topics being discussed. The pastor showed us few videos which we had to make a response and share it with the group. I wasn't given a chance to speak and express my ideas in that particular subject so I just wrote it as my shout-out and posted it. It was one of the pastor's message that had a great impact on me and ever since, I would always think and carefully decide before I make my choices.

My reflection goes like this..

     All our actions has its own consequences, we choose to do things out of our inner desire to have more of the best things in this world, but sometimes, by making those choices that we think are best for us, we don't realize that we are making a mistake and even losses our own LIFE for the sake of those things. We sometimes tend to be impulsive when we think of ways to get ahead of others. We even do things unintentionally without thinking where it might lead us and happened to realize it when its already too late. 

Here's a video clip of what we've discussed, THE BLACK HOLE..


      GREEDINESS is what makes us crave for more things but CONTENTMENT is what we need to enjoy life more. If we want to live fully in this world, it's our CHOICE! Every move we make,  there's always a CONSEQUENCE. I just hope and pray that we always choose to be in the right way! 

Happy midweek everyone..! :)

Feeling of Lonelines

Image
There are times that even if everything in life seems doing great, you will still feel like your alone. That no one is there for you, that no matter how hard you try to convince yourself that you're okay, that you don't need anybody else cause you got yourself covered, you will still feel it deep inside, the pain and longing for someone and something you can't experience the same and have again. As Tom Wolfe puts it,  "the whole conviction of my life now rests upon the belief that loneliness, far from being a rare and curious phenomenon, peculiar to myself and to a few other solitary men, is the central and inevitable fact of human existence."  I recently got a two days off and decided to go to the mall to de-stress. My duty was just keep on getting toxic more and more and I needed to go out to declutter my mind. I chose to see a recently released movie, Everything everything, which is based from a novel from the same producer of "Me Before You". Maybe t...

Journey on Quarterlife: Practical ways on dealing with it

Image
In my previous article regarding Quarterlife Crisis , I explained what it is and describe how it feels like being inflicted by it. I also narrated how the journey literally sucked the life out of me. As I contemplate on the experience, on the account of my whole existence, it is so far the lowest I ever had for having lost all hopes and positivity and being consumed by negativity. After a few months which I have endured, basically more than now a year, somehow I got used to the feeling and found some ways on how to deal with it.  I haven't figured it out yet, like most of my colleagues do, but after some time, I've come to develop some strategies to help myself get through. And that's what I'm about to share right now with high hopes that it can also help others who have the same struggles. We are all unique and has different ways of coping so it might or might not work with everyone.  THE IMPORTANCE OF GOAL SETTING We all have heard a lot of sayin...

What Does It Take to be a Home Care Nurse in UAE?

Image
There are times when I think about of giving up, of going back home and just leave this awful place, this company and this job that I've come to bitterly hate every moment I am part of it. Long working hours, no holidays, no day offs, delayed salary, unsympathetic employers and most of all, a caregiving job as what most of clients think of us that we have to endure everyday as home care nurses. To those who doesn't even have the slightest idea, being a nurse working in UAE sounds so grand, the high salary is what the only thing they can think of and being in a foreign country (abroad) is a great accomplishment. Maybe for those who ended up in a hospital or in a better post such as clinics and medical centers. But for us in home care, it's not as grand as what is sounds like, behind that label is a struggle, a day-to-day grind to survive. Not all working conditions are same, some company have better management and other nurses are in good hands, but when you go and ask; it...
