The Office | Dream High

1/31/2017

0 Comments

 
It was almost time to get off work and we were all just sitting in the office chatting while waiting for time to pass. My senior mentioned that one of her clients started a new venture and was hiring her. She then mentioned (joking) that she would hire us and give us the position we want, then she asked everyone. My reply was, "I want to be a secretary". She was kind of disappointed and told me "You should dream higher". At the back of my head I told myself "Then I want to be an executive secretary." but I never really said that. 
What I told her is that I want to explore different occupations and social experiments; like going to Batanes and pretending to be mute. ^_^ She didn't look amused and started lecturing.
I thought I was already ambitious then it got me thinking; Am I too simple minded for my age (late 20's)?

Here's another nail art design for begginers that you could definitely recreate. The design is inspired by a dress worn by Queen Letizia of Spain during Spain's National Day 2016. Here are all the items you need.

Free Blogging and Photo Editing Apps for Android Users

I started blogging as a hobby but as time passed, some tasks I needed to do to publish a blog post just took so much of my time. Not to mention the gadgets and skills I needed to edit photos and videos. I didn't lose interest but I wasn't able to maintain it in the past. But now, everything from taking photos/videos, editing to publishing my posts happens in my phone. Don't get me wrong, I'm still using my laptop to type my articles conveniently.

On this post, I'll be sharing you the applications I'm currently using that made my blogging a whole lot easier for me.

The Office: Why do you blog?

1/23/2017

​Here’s a secret, it’s been ten years since I started blogging. No, I’m not that old. I started really young since I don’t have much to do and I’m not really the outgoing type. I’ve been in Yahoo!, Bing, Friendster and Blogger but I didn’t get to maintain any of it so in the end, I abandoned my longest running blog of five years only to start all over again. You must be wondering why I chose to restart rather rebrand and what actually changed since I started this new one (please don’t judge me ^_^).
My old blogs have been messy and out of focused. I took blogging as a hobby and some of my posts were too personal making it difficult for me to brand my blog and myself as a blogger. I also find the platform kind of difficult for me to handle and edit since I’m not that techy. Lastly, I don’t have that much followers so I don’t think I’m wasting too much. I didn’t close it down but I’m no longer updating it.

Managing Facebook Group Tasks

Facebook groups have done a lot for me when it comes to growing my blog. I got excited with its fast results and decided to search and join more groups that could cater my blogging needs (Check out my post “Choosing Facebook Groups for Bloggers” to assist you).
Picture
​Now that you got in, the next thing is to maintain it so you won’t get kicked out and, of course, to increase the number of different visitors to your website and social media accounts from all the groups you’re in. I don’t have a VA and I’m not planning on getting one so I need to get organized.  Here is the list of the things I did to manage and maximize the groups I’m in.

Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson

It was July of 2016 when I purchased this book with another one I haven't even touched, "The Unexpected Everything". It was published 2 years ago but the cover just didn't get my attention at that time since I can see that it's a teenager's story which I might not be able to relate to anymore.
It took me six months to finish mostly because my schedule got really hectic I hardly had time to finish a chapter a week. You can also see how beaten down the cover is since I've been trying to bring it around to read.
Anyway, it was given an average rating of 4.2 in google reads by around 55,000+ readers. I didn't know about it at that time. It was actually the list that got my attention.

The Office | Career Crossroads

1/15/2017

A few years ago, I left a job that I love. It's stressful but I learned to enjoy it as well as being with my co-workers but I guess I just can't take how much of a bully my immediate supervisor was so I quit. When he told me I should just resign if I want to pursue with my studies because my attention will be divided, I handed my resignation in the same hour.
After that, I moved to the academe. My boss was great. My co-workers were very welcoming and kind to me at the beginning. 
​I was also offered a permanent position and ranked ahead of the others a year after I got hired because nobody wanted to stay in that position but me. So I took the offer. Then the rise of the bitches began.
I see them everyday; Greet them everyday; Little did I know that they were already back stabbing me. The person I gifted a bag with was spreading rumors about me. One even called the head of the personnel to talk about how awful I am to work with. On top of that, my paper that would make me permanent went missing. I was lucky enough that I have two good friends who know me well and saved me.

Choosing Facebook Groups for Bloggers

Recently, I joined several blogging groups on Facebook to promote my blog. I started with three but after some time, I was able to find and get approved to more blogging groups. Most of which were really helpful in creating better quality posts and growing my blog further. 
Listed are a few things you may also want to consider when choosing the groups to join.

1. Group Description

​Most of the times, you’ll find the activities of the group in the description box. You may want to think it through if the kind of engagement they offer is what you need for your blog. You may also get a hint on close groups whether they are organized or not by reading this section.

Blocked Nail Art (Freehand)

The last time I went to Davao for the national convention, we passed by Mindanao Expo at Abreeza Mall and there I found a small kiosk that sells native bags. The pattern is pretty, and colorful plus, it's easy to make.
Picture
The products I used are: (OMG) Oh My Girl 2 Way Nail Art Brush, Black Caronia Nail Polish, White Chic Nail Polish a liner brush. If you don't have a nail art brush, you may try making one by cutting a few bristles from your nail polish's brush and attaching to the end of a stick.

Top Picks For Spring and Summer 2017 Nail Polishes

January is almost here and I've been watching a marathon of fashion shows on youtube. As expected, there's a wide variety of colors and patterns from the spring/summer 2017 collection to inspire my next post and nail art design.
I'm sure we have fashion shows but I'm not an important person to be invited. Finding the same videos online to check the local trend is just as difficult so I watch the Paris fashion week instead.
Anyways, here's my nail color trend report for the upcoming season.

1. Neutrals and Grayscale
