It’s 12:25 am, Monday. I should get some sleep knowing that in a little while I’ll be up and about to another long week of wishing I am in a different place, doing a different thing with someone other than the person I am with. Oh how I love weekends! 
Going through a “Monday” is so excruciatingly painful and dragging. The feeling can be compared to being forced to move when you are completely immobile. There is no strength, no interest, no zest. Just plain… boredome. And to think that my job is actually more active compared to office based jobs, I still find it boring. The reason why I love weekends is simply because it makes me look forward to another weekend and make the weekdays seem shorter. In those two days, life is more blissful. Heehee.
I’m not saying that life is just so plain and that I can’t even feel even a tinge of joy over small things other than my work, it’s just that weekends make life more fun and sun-tastic! For example, I spent my 3-day weekend with my family, which I don’t get to do as much during weekdays. That’s already a big point why weekends are blissful-er. Hehe.
I’ve been thinking of ways on how I can have more weekends in my life than my work-weekdays. I’m constantly looking at the possibility of dropping my sick & corrupt job that almost always makes me insane and find a more subdued career like…. say, teaching! hihi. I don’t know yet, but all I know now is that I don’t want this sort of harrassed feeling everyday for the rest of my working life.
My lovely Alien just resigned from his work. I’m not sure what he is right now though…. I’m confused as to whether I should call him a PR writer, a business man, an internet marketer, or simply a writer with a business. I envy him. Whatever he wishes to be called, perhaps a freed man haha, I’m pretty sure he’s having a blast at making money without a boss.
But you know what, I am absolutely sure that soon enough, I will also have that same freedom I’m going to find my spot under the sun and get another tan! Hahaha! Seriously, I’m going to look for the things that make my happy heart more giddy and make tons of money while doing them. Now that’s a plan!
Allen and I believe that there’s so much opportunity out in the world and we’re just scared what we might find there. Like many others, including me, we are all scared of crossing “that” bridge and discovering something unacceptable and unlike the standard stuff. We all seem to be happy that we’re secure where we are right now believing that what is normal is good. This is sad because we wouldn’t be able to see what lies ahead and how abnormally blissful it is being different!
I used to believe that one cannot be a jack-of-all-trades. Allen made me think otherwise. I’ve tried branding myself with whatever I think is fun: I’m a medrep (my job), I’m a businesswoman, I’m a cook, I’m a writer, I’m a painter, etc. I secretly wished that I didn’t have to do just ONE thing. I wished that I could try all sorts of stuff and see which one is the best. But I was scared, of course, knowing that people would question why I do several things all at once and never finish any of them and then jump from one hobby to another. (I’d like to call work “hobby”, that way I’d feel more free).
After a long argument with Allen as to why it is better to be branded as a photographer or a writer or a cook or an artist or whatever name people name themselves on their business cards, he won. I now believe that to be happy in this life, you don’t need to do one thing… like photography or writing or cooking.
You can be everything you want to be while enjoying each of your so-called “hobbies”.
Allen said, “Life is blissful-er when you don’t have any names to bind yourself to. Life is blissful-er if you are able to see that with whatever you do, however small, you can create happiness for yourself and for your loved ones. Names or brands are just the norms that people require of you, but no amount of names can ever fill your Life-Cup with happiness.”.
That was the end of it. I’m sold.
Life really IS bliss.
