Clay Pots & Wooden Spoons

Barely. We finally overcame some of our financial problems for the past few months and we have a working internet connection. I also don’t feel as stressed and depressed as with the previous months and I feel ready to start anew. I still haven’t found a stable job but I am working on it with my college buddy who just got laid off from her previous work. It’s quite tough finding jobs these days but at least we still have food on the table and my siblings still go to school. I just hope and pray that one of these days, we’ll finally get more than enough funds so we can start our own business. One of Dad’s friends has offered his help in starting up an internet cafe and I’ve been trying to find a good locations for it. We’ve been looking for a couple of months now but the newly built buildings we find always have reserved tenants who’s putting up internet shops. I hope we find one soon because it would really be a lot of help for our family.

The past few weeks have not been too good to me. However, I have started to move on and I’m starting to plan out what I will be doing next month. I’ll still try to launch a project I’ve been working on before this month and hopefully it becomes a success. Unfortunately, I have come to realize that I cannot waste anymore time and I have to hunt for available jobs that fit what I have studied in college. It’s hard not having important documents that can only be obtained when you have a job. I can’t apply for a credit card simply because I have no existing payslip. Even if I have the money to pay off my bills, they still want actual documents that i have a regular paying job. Also my parents have been insisting that its important to have a job because of the benefits. I still don’t agree with them but I would have to try and find something that would work with me or I will burn out.

I hope May would be a good month for me. I’m starting to refresh my resume and check out job portals to see if I can find anything that interests me. I’m thinking I can try the insurance industry for a little while where I can offer life insurance quotes or other types of insurance but I’m not sure if I can handle the stress of working in a corporate setting. I prefer a laid back setting where I can work freely and creatively. I prefer creating things over crunching numbers. I think part of the reason is my brain. It gets too tired when doing complex calculations that I end up getting bored and move on to something else. I like solving things, but I don’t like getting headaches because of it.

March was a busy month for me and I was able to hear from old friends and classmates I haven’t talked to in a long while. It was nice to hear that most have finished their courses and are working already. I had some friends who are registered nurses but took associate degrees instead of bachelors. Some of them are interested in trying rn to bsn online courses because its flexible and meets their busy schedules better. I’ve read that several online universities offer them like http://wgu.edu. I’ve read that in WGU, the students have their own personalized Academic Action Plan where they determine through consulting with their mentors the best learning resources for them. They have a variety of learning resources available to ensure they would be able to prepare for their assessments. I know my friends would be interested in WGU because they also have financial aid which students can utilize.

I don’t have anything against rapid detox. For me is a person wants to try it as a means to jumpstart their path to going clean, I don’t mind. Each person has the right to choose for themselves and I think choosing to start going clean is a good choice. Everyone has their own way of dealing with changes with their life and doing a detox is just like any changes one encounters in their life. If they choose to opt for the rapid one, as long as it helps them and they get to their goal of going clean, I respect their decision. Some people would choose the slow option, some want the fast one. In both cases, they just want to improve and leave their old lives behind.
