Oh...The Good Old Times...(Well Actually New Times) In The Office

My cubicle! And look I have my own name plate! I was so excited when I got that! Silly, I know, but that's me! This is my office at MyNewPlace.com, so far it's been a good experience working here. I've made quite a few calls to property managers helping them with their accounts. Recently I've been working on a project where I'm writing up property listings for Craigslist. So the company is starting up a new writing service where we write up about 20 listings per property for them to post on Craigslist. Now it's kinda challenging coming up with unique listings about the same thing 20 times over, but I'm kinda enjoying being able to experiment with word order and finding new adjectives to use. It's made me realize that I do enjoy writing and that it's all about making connections with people. That any successful writing, whether it be a novel, an advertisement, poem or even a blog post has to be able to connect with others in order to draw someone in. So yeah, I'm enjoying my job, for the most part. :) Except in between projects when I don't have anything to do. I hate being unproductive!

On another random note: Here's the latest post-it art in the office. A raincloud. :) I love it!

Here's a Valentine one of my co-workers gave me! It's so cute, she made everyone these hearts with different styles of mustaches, and one was even a pirate, with an eye patch and a sword. I think they are adorable.

My mug (I painted this at Color Me Mine) and left hander's calender (thanks mom) at my desk. :) So I got a little bored this afternoon, I had finished all my projects and so I was kinda just sitting there waiting for a new assignment, that happens occasionally. I just work too fast! They just can't keep up with me! ;) I'm sure that pretty soon I'll have so much to do that I won't be able to keep up! Haha, so I better enjoy this while I can! So if I randomly chat with you uncontrollably just know that it's cause I'm desperate for human interaction. JK, Hahaha! Well, it's so quiet in my office sometimes. :) But I really do like my job. I promise... :)

This might sound weird, but this glimpse of your cubicle and your nameplate makes me a little jealous of your life. You have a legitimate job. :)

I'd love to hear what you think!

Words of Inspiration

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
— Marianne Williamson (A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of a Course in Miracles)

"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go..."
— Dr. Seuss

"Fairy tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten."
— G.K. Chesterton

"Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. "Pooh?" he whispered.
"Yes, Piglet?"
"Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's hand. "I just wanted to be sure of you."
— A.A. Milne (Winnie-the-Pooh)

"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable."
— C.S. Lewis (The Four Loves)

"Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people."
— Eleanor Roosevelt

"You don't have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body."
— C.S. Lewis

"I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be."
— Douglas Adams (The Long Dark Tea-time of the Soul)

"It is better to be hated for what you are than loved for what you are not."
— André Gide

"It is our choices, Harry, that show us who we truly are, far more than our abilities."
— J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets)

"All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt."
— Charles M. Schulz

"If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales."
— Albert Einstein

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Be not thou therefore ashamed of the tesimony of our Lord. 2 Timothy 1:7-8

"I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."
— Henry David Thoreau (Walden: Or, Life in the Woods)

Mahirap ang buhay pag guwapa!

— C.S. Lewis

"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts."
— Winston S. Churchill

"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."
— Audrey Hepburn

"We accept the love we think we deserve. "
