Opportunities can't Wait

Opportunities don't come that often in our lives. :a: And sometimes opportunities come only to :eek: chosen people (yes! you have to admit that coz that's reality). It felt disappointing and frustrating when "these" come and we're not that capable enough to take them. :intears1: Some aren't capable because of their current status in their lives, :howiwish: perhaps financial, health, TIME, skill, talent, etc.And not being capable enough means letting go of certain opportunities we hold in our hands already, leaving us :howiwish: hoping for another opportunity or perhaps the SAME opportunity to come. Well some do take a risk even if it's hard (like way way 3x the expected hardship).

Deciding whether we take the opportunities or not is hard! I'm in that dilemma right now. Just last November I've been really active to some of my online jobs (while I'm still studying). But I wanted a job that is really in-line with my interest, with my passion - that goes with blogging, web design and mobile development (and my current online jobs are way out of my passion). :happy1: As for now I found a place where I could be given and I am given an opportunity to do something that is related to one of these three. And I know that this opportunity would help me to learn more in that field, step up and help me grow! The opportunity doesn't ask me to stop schooling, :wink: but rather it's just that it is too aggressive for us to fulfill somethings.

I was reluctant to accept it at first as I am still creating my Capstone/Senior Project - that which will determine if I can graduate my college degree by March 2012. But then even if I freed myself from school works by March, will this opportunity still come to me??? Will another one knock on my door? I know it won't. Not that none would come (as I know tons of opportunities would come into our lives), but those won't just match this opportunity that's on my hands right now. I just feel it. I know it. Well I can always wait for another to come but sometimes waiting guarantees nothing!

As a student :mad1: I think what hinders me to push through taking this opportunity is the idea of "YOU GRADUATE FIRST BEFORE TAKING A JOB". That's how most of Filipinos mind setting goes. It's irritating but that's how it runs in my head right now! :eek: I guess I was really brainwashed by this mentality - too much of classroom setting - VERY IDEALISTIC! I'm not saying it's bad neither am I saying that I have to prioritize working than the academics. No No No! It's just when will I step up? When will I start exploring? When will I start taking real life and long term risks? "When we're all graduates, crawling in every single company trying to find a job? Competing all together?" Another :exhausted: thing that hinders me is that, I get too much paranoid on what if I can't finish my school project because of this? What if I fail in the opportunity itself? What if.... A lot of whatifs.. Too many things to worry about.

As I see it, if I stay with the passive group - my co-students, i will come late with the rapid development of technology in the real world. I'll get even more blinded and brainwashed. Like what our moderator says, we have to grow up and get matured much faster than the normal students in our school. We have to think way ahead of them! I was happy that someone was motivating us to be like that but the pressure is on!

I don't want to waste time. Opportunities can't wait for the TALENTED and SKILLED PEOPLE. We have to move fast, study and adapt to meet that opportunities. Afterall :happy1: it's just BREAKEVEN, if we succeed with the risks or challenges given by the opportunities - it's really great; but even if we failed we still learned new things, right? Our efforts pay off no matter what.

So I say..take the risks, grab the opportunites (not that we say yes to everything - just filter those we think we can accomplish and we can manage)

How to place Nuffnang Ads between posts in Blogger

few info about Nuffnang..
Bloggers makes use of Nuffnang to earn from their blogs, primarily. Well Nuffnang offers bloggers more than money earnings, as far as my readings is concerned. If you want to know more about Nuffnang you can visit their site www.nuffnang.com
Mostly, :wink: everyone would want the ads to be seen in every post they have. Nuffnang provided the code/script and a tutorial for that. But the provided sample of Nuffnang is placing the ADS code below the blog post (just right above the navigation links of newer post, home, and older post). See the tutorial HERE.

Hmm don't want to go to the link I've given? Just read it here. And see the other options of pasting the Nuffnang codes in different positions of your blog post.
  • Copy the code provided by Nuffnang. (Get the code under To put between contents.)
  • Open your blogger account.

My Christmas on 2011



Greetings to everyone!



It's Christmas time! But I guess it's only 25 to some parts of the world, some are still on their 24th of December so we on the eastern side of the world kinda celebrate it a little bit earlier. Though the more important thing is it's Christmas time to all over the world. Happy birthday to Jesus Christ! He has come once more to our lives. :eyes:

Hmmm.. this year's Christmas was a bit different for our family. It's not really different but it's just that we didn't prepare for it the same way we did in the past 10 years. :wink: This year we bought a simple christmas tree and decorated it with christmas lights and few little things - red and gold. It may not be the best christmas tree you can find in town :a: but it's only now that we build our own. :happy2:  It brings back memories because when we were young we always put up our christmas tree. But we when grew up it's seems like we almost forgot it. :lonely1:

Another different thing for this year is that we haven't prepared our Noche Buena. On the eve of December 24, Filipino prepare food, have all their "handa" and celebrate 12 midnight with the whole family. This "handaan", array of foods, is what we call the Noche Buena.We choose not to have an extravagant Noche Buena because we wanted to save everything for the New Year's eve where our kuya, big brother, will be coming home. And besides we choose to donate to the victims of the Typhoon Sendong instead.

Celebrating it simple or not does not matter at all. :happy2: As long as we did celebrate it with the family and welcome Jesus in our hearts, the :good2: Christmas will be complete, happy and quite sensible at all. How hard it is for some who celebrate it apart from their families and :a: for those who are victim of Typhoons who lost their properties and some family members. May their be Christmas be happy and safe in whatever way. My prayers are with them. :howiwhish:

Come home for this Christmas and greet your family a merry merry Christmas. And don't forget to greet Jesus too and to go to church. :happy2: Share love :heart: for this Christmas everyone!
