I’ve worked at several different jobs, ranging from the mundane to the interesting.  I’ve been a dishwasher, a babysitter, a nanny, a newspaper clipper, a researcher and an IRS customer service rep.  I I think I’d have to say I liked being a nanny best.  I loved the kids I took care of, and the family I worked for treated me with respect and made me feel at home.  I got the job soon after moving to a new state, and I was feeling lost when I started it, but after a year working there, I felt like part of the community.  The job made me realize I wanted kids of my own, which I now have!

If I could travel anywhere in the world for a vacation, I’d go to Olympia, Washington.  I’ve been there once before, as it’s where almost all my extended family lives.  I felt instantly at home there, as if I’d somehow been there many times before.  I loved the feel of the city—the casual, hippie kind of feeling.  I loved the weather—never hot and never cold.  I loved the funky restaurants, and the weird little shops, and I loved being with my family to see it all.  I’m not sure I’d want to live there, due to all the rain, but I certainly would love to visit there again.

Whenever I meet a new friend or colleague, they always say that their first impression is that I am a shy and quiet type of person. But what they don’t know is that I am really an outgoing and fun to be with person. Only a handful of my friends knew of that fact since I am not very sociable with most people. I carefully select my friends and see to it that they will be worth the company. These close friends of mine sometimes are shocked to know me as an outgoing and fun person as opposed to their first impression that I am very timid.

When I was younger, I auditioned to become a TV actor and I was given a few extra roles. Back then, I was so conscious on how I look, I always check my face in the mirror and admire my eyes, which I considered my biggest asset. Many people told me that I have a sexy eyes and that it was my best physical feature. I believe them, of course, and I know for a fact that my wife fell in love with those, too. Anyway, now that I’m older, I still look once in a while and see if I still have the same charisma as when I was younger.

We have a unique payroll system here in my current work. Well, unique here in our country at least. It is because the usual payroll in the Philippines was every 15th and the 30th of the month while here in my current job, we receive our payroll every other Wednesday. So, that’s what I’m really looking forward to. Every time that I go to work, I will check the calendar and count how many days will it be before the next Wednesday, our scheduled pay day. I always have the feeling that it was almost our payroll again every time I do so.

Being a father and all, I feel obliged to spend time with my family every time that I don’t have work. And rightly so, because my daughter really needs the attention and the discipline from me as her father. So, last weekend, that’s exactly what I did. I spend my time playing with my daughter and telling her stories about the Bible. I also brought her to a religious meeting so that she’ll grow up to be a kind and religious girl. So far, my efforts are paying off as she was more inclined to obey rather than to rebel. I hope she stays that way.

Every time I have long off days, I always search the net for local events and travel opportunities that would fit my schedule. I always look forward to my long off days which is four to five off days. It only happens every one to two months. That is why I really make a plan on how to spend those days on travel. I love going out of town and travel. I enjoy doing road trips especially with friends and family. For me, each travelling experience is unique, because I always see with fresh eyes. I am always eager to learn and discover what a certain place has to offer.

Last week I went to Waikato with a couple of friends. We spent the night there at a cheap cabin but has all basic facilities, e.g. bed, toilet and shower, and kitchen. We visited the three caves namely, Waitomo, Aranui, and Ruakuri caves. The highlight of that adventure was the glowworm. As the name implies, worms that glow. Actually they are not worms but fly larvae, and they do glow. It was such a unique experience. We had to ride a boat to be able to go inside the cave. It was pitch black inside, and cold and quiet, and up above the cave ceiling we saw hundreds and hundreds of glowworms. It was such a magnificent view, like looking at stars in the heavens.

I have often thought of a perfect world, but then, nothing is perfect. However, I often wondered, as inhabitants of this earth, we can make it close to perfect to make it a much better place to live in. I wish I had a magic wand that in just a wave, I can change the world. If I had the power, I would change a number of things.  In my altered world, there is no class in society; everyone is equal, no rich, no poor. Everyone should have equal opportunities and rights. In accordance to this, gender equality is also present. I often wonder what the world would be like without money, I might try that one too.

Nowadays, almost everyone has an iPod, iPad, MP3 player, laptop, just about any device where you can play music. While commuting to work, walking, working out, or even relaxing at home, I listen to music. I like various types of music depending on my mood. To start my day, I often listen to pop and dance songs that hype me up. When I go to bed, especially after work, I listen to mellow music, sometimes instrumental classical music. Depending on my mood, I also listen to rock metal and alternative music. I like alternative the most, it is not noisy, I like the beat and rhythm and there are a lot of bands that play really good music. I do not like listening to rap music, especially when I cannot understand what they say. For me, that is not music to my ears.
