Learning something new

April 27, 2009

I used to do technical research as my main job description, and yes sometimes it could get boring. Good thing I would also be assigned for field work and site inspection which I gladly accept as a break from my regular office tasks. Doing exhaustive research can be challenging and when I’m done with a project, the feeling of self-fulfillment is there especially since I learn something new along the way.

As a business mentor used to say, the mind should always be open to new learnings and one should always be sharp and alert, feeding the mind by reading books and informative articles. Personally, I feel that topics that are important to one’s life such as finances and self-development should be given more priority. For instance, financial intelligence is as important as emotional intelligence. Knowing how to manage your finances and not being a slave to unnecessary expenses are just some of the wisdom gained from helpful financial books.

Another busy week ahead

I have so much going on in my mind these days… first and foremost are my online ventures which seem to keep me busy, but I still plan to set up more niche sites. I know it’s a matter of investing my time with these online ventures to have a passive income in the future. The hours just seem to whir by lately, and I would even be surprised that the day has already ended, and with still so much work to be done! 

Oh well… but yesterday, I took time for shopping and I’m so happy that I found a pair of 3 lbs dumbbells for my exercise routine. Also, I used up my SM Advantage credits to add up in my bag purchase. Mom also let me use up her remaining SM Advantage credits to help me out with the bag which was a bit pricey for me. Thanks for the total of 300 plus advantage credits, both from Mom and me, which was equivalent to Php300 plus. Yup, 1 SM Advantage credit is equal to 1 Php. Now, I am happy I finally have a light beige large shoulder bag to match with my light cream colored heels.

So now it’s back to work on another busy week ahead!
