Stuck

I’m stuck in the corporate world and I don’t like it.

I’ve been thinking of going out already, going out of the country, or going out of this company at least. The politics has been crazy and I don’t really like it, it’s almost as if the National Elections started last January for me.

I feel like moving on, like this is not for me, well I know it isn’t, but I feel helpless at the same time. I have no savings whatsoever, neither can I ask help from daddy, I think he has enough problems, asking help from him is…like waiting for apples to fall from a tree, although the tree is actually capable of doing that by the way, ok losing my point.

Argh, it’s so frustrating.

I’m so tired, that’s all.

Anyway…

I’m wondering, how old are you? Are you working, if so what industry? For how long? Do you like it?

She needs our help!

The previous weeks has been devastating for a number of countries all over the world, most specially here in Asia. It’s as if Earth’s giving us a last warning, a reminder of what we have been doing to Her for hundreds of years now.

Here in the Philippines, on September 26, 2009, Ondoy brought a month’s worth of rainfall to Metro Manila, our country’s capital. After just about a week, another typhoon came striking the northern part of the country this time. Areas are still submerged in water until now. (For ways to donate and help read here).

Since then, I started this site, Happy Berde, the aim of which is to educate people on how to start doing things differently, the greener way. The impact may not be huge, but I believe it’s significant.

I say, let’s start small.

Alessandra De Rossi’s Sailing MV

I’ve been following Alessandra de Rossi on twitter, she’s one of the local celebs I like and I was surprised when I saw a link on her profile page, it links to a music video on youtube.

Have to say she has a nice voice, reminds me a bit of Leighton Meester and the video is cool too (doing stuff underwater is hard!). Check it out!

Wonder when is this video taken, and when was the song recorded….
