Thoughts from the almost wrecked brain

It's been a while since I posted my last blog post here--- I mean the "real" blog post, when I make kwento or something. I kind of missed this. :)  Even though I don't know what I'm gonna write here, I'm still typing random letters to from words. Crazy.

BTW, I just got employed by Rustan Coffee Corporation (Starbucks, that is) last March 21. That means I'm already working AND AT THE SAME TIME studying for summer school. Pressure, eh? Yes, there is pressure, brain damage, body stress and everything. Maybe that's the reason why I'm typing here--- to share my thoughts about this.

When I was being interviewed by Starbucks, I kept on insisting that I can handle school and work at the same time. I believed I can. But when I started working and studying at the same time, I reviewed what I said. Is it still right? Can I still do it? There are times when I think of quitting the job already. Times when I feel the burden is being kinda heavy for me to carry, and I'm thinking that I can't do this anymore. But you know what? I'm already a month-old in my job and I'm proud of it! :)

Yes, I feel very pressured and exhausted with what I'm doing right now, but most of the time, the quote "Don't back down." always crosses my mind. True enough, I can't quit this early, because I'm just starting. Winners never quit, and quitters never win. Right. I just think of the good things that may come out of this, like, I'll be stronger to face bigger challenges, because truth is, this is just a petty challenge. I know I still have to conquer more difficult problems in the future, and this is just a warm up. That thought keeps me strong. I know I can do this. I don't need to be afraid because I believe I have the capacity to go through this. And with God, I know I'll ace this challenge with a smile on my face.

Wish me luck. This could be the start of something new for me. :)
