October Life Update

I wake up, and rinse myself every single morning every work day at 6:30 AM. Mondays to Fridays, that’s what I do if I don’t want to be late for work. By the way, I find myself always wanting to type something on my work laptop, whether that be chatting with old friends or even typing a current status update. I find the rhythm of it all so therapeutic so what better way to relive that moment than to type a new blogpost for all of you, beautiful people.

Okay, going back, there. It’s a routine really. And don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful for having a job right now after experiencing some setbacks just a few weeks ago. It’s just that I find myself longing to live my life on my own terms, to wake up and not worry about being late or being tied to a specific time and schedule. I long for slow mornings, oh my gosh my lazy side is showing up right now but who cares I’m here to tell you the truth about my life.

Despite all of it, I appreciate the times when my boss is around, I get to help him with his stuff and I feel that sense of accomplishment on my end. But I’m also aware that I need to fulfill my soul’s happiness too, feed my creativity and get my hands working back in the kitchen, creating muffins and cupcakes and Egg free dark chocolate cakes. It’s been long overdue and I’m feeling it now. What I’ve learned is a job may meet your financial needs, but it’s still up to you to make yourself happy and fulfilled in your life.

Everything’s becoming a routine now as I settle into my new job. Again, I wake up, rinse, eat, work and sleep and do the same things over and over again the next day until the weekend wherein I get to spend more time with my family and hopefully get more time squeezed in the kitchen.

This writeup has been a product of my boredom in the office because being an Executive Assistant gives you perks that no other job has. I’ve got loads of free time with my job and I spend it looking for recipes that I can do during my free time and it’s been firing up my excitement lately. And let me share with you a very weird yet eye opening experience that I just recently had.

I’ve committed to being vegan for so long now yet I find myself slipping here to there at times but only just recently do my conscience loudly speaks to me whenever I eat animals. It was already night time and I arrived from work so famished and only wanting to order food and not prepare it. So I opted for a Longsilog( Longganisa egg and rice) and while I felt full in the process of me cutting down the meat and eating it, thoughts about not killing and eating animals arose on my mind and I just felt so bad and guilty about eating meat. And that was it, that was the last time I ever ate meat. I promised myself to not eat meat anymore. It was my soul already speaking to me about fully embracing a plant based lifestyle and I’m very into tuning in to my soul urges and wishes. It just didn’t feel right to eat meat anymore and I’m happy and glad that I’m back to being a Raw Vegan person.

Anyways I know that was totally off topic but I just really wanted to share it with you and maybe spark a change and make you rethink your current diet and lifestyle. Try it, it wouldn’t harm you at any cost and wouldn’t harm any living creatures as well, which is totally great btw! J

Going back, I just really wanted to share with you how important it is to find or rather CREATE that healthy work life balance that one’s looking for in his/her own life. And for me, right now, it means working for 5 days a week and spending lots of my free time baking and experimenting new desserts and even savoury food to bring with me in the office for baon. Plus, sharing my thoughts to electronic paper just like what I’m doing now. Such activities help me a lot to feel fulfilled and happy in life.

How about you? What things do make your heart leap with joy and happiness? When you’ve identified them, do more and more and more of that until it becomes your work. J
