NO MORE GUESSING GAMES- THE MESS REVEALED

I checked a particularly old post on my other blog. The post is about "how to organize".  And it was August 2010 the last time I cleaned up my home shelves of books and hard copy documents.  I tried to be organized.  I need to segregate and clean my home base work area from time to time since I am always surrounded with paper works.  My work is not only do the accounting but also filing the clients' documents and taxes in order to update their records that is.  Aside from that, I have my own personal art tools, materials and collections at home.  So whether you have a big or small space, it is need to be organized from time to time.  There are new things you bought and of course there are things you need to let go.  I mean, you need to throw like old or expired documents. 

My shelves which I organized last August 2010.

And the shelves before December 24, 2011.  Ha-ha.  Whatta mess again.  It was shouting at me, "clean me!, clean me on Christmas day!"  So I did the cleaning on Christmas eve until the Christmas day on the following day. 

It is organized again!

I applied the color coding.  I wrote the labels on the yellow memo pad.  I just check what folder to pull out and get the particularly documents I need to check or get the next time.  No more guessing game men! 

It's the same scenario in the office.  A mess not not a total disaster.  I already see some developments on myself when it comes to organizing my things and files.  Step by step basis but I know I grow everyday.  Not to mention am getting old at the same time. 

This is my table when I have lots of work to do.

However, I see to it that it is clean at the end of the day.  I applied the rule "no files on the table before going home".  It looks refreshing to see your no-clutter work table on the next morning.  My secret?  No, I won't share.  Just don't open my drawer!  Ha-ha. For that, my next goal is how to organize my drawer.  

You can see the only selected things on my table.

1.  The DIY recycled and crafted ice-cream small container for my pencils, fasteners, stapler wires etc.

2.  Banig little box for paper clips

3 Star paper corporation's memo pad

4.  Paper file folders available @ National Book Store

5.  Pen holder given by John which served as paperweight

MY FIRST ATTEMPT FOR A PRODUCTIVE YEAR 2012

This is my first attempt for a productive year 2012 (as what I've stated here--->.  I treated myself on the second Sunday of January (the 8th).  It's only on Sunday that I can have time for myself and do whatever I want to do the whole day.  Let's call it my day-off.

I missed going to the church on Sunday morning.  I did it before but I messed that schedule last year because I was out of town during weekends.  So here I go back to my old Sunday schedule. I like going to church and attend the early morning mass @ 8 am.  I like hearing the first mass because it's not much crowded. Yet, I woke up late and arrived in the church passed 8 and the mass was already started (on the homily part particularly).  So I decided to attend on the next mass schedule.  I did the morning walk until I was tired and hungry. 

And Jollibee was the answer.  I missed the jolly spaghetti!

@ exactly nine the church was ready for the second mass.

After the mass I went to my part time job.  I need to earn extra money. I arrived in the work place almost twelve noon and done my recording @ 1:30 pm.

Had my late lunch at Mang Inasal.  It's my first time to visit the place after they launched the more the many-yer promo.  I like the waiter's new uniform (the checkered white and red).  Aside from their Turon split, the Mang Inasal - Robinsons Iloilo Annex branch has more good looking waiters.  This is just a tip to make your meal more enjoyable.  Makagalana!  according to my office-mate. 

I know Mamang will make me cry. That's why, I watched the movie "A Mother's Story" alone. 

Back to my list of my new year resolutions.

*Going to church every week. (checked)

*Have time for myself. (checked)

It's somewhat helpful to have goals and a to-do-list to follow. It's partly successful!

CELEBRATING THE NEW YEAR IN A SIMPLE WAY

Sometimes I went home almost six months in a year.  There was a time I went home once a year!  And that is only during New year!  Needless to say, my hometown is only 22.5 kilometers from the city.

No matter how busy I am, I see to it to go home on new year.  Like what I've said, I want to spend and start my new year with my own family.

New year's eve 2011 was a fine day unlike the last year of 2010.  This is our simple and weary chapel.  If I will win in the 6/42 or 6/45 or 6/49 or 6/55lotto, I will build the big one!

the sampayan or cloth line still exists in the province.

Luckily I was able to take a shot of the last sunset of 2011

Two of the family kids back home.  I still join them playing.  Ako I isip bata pa rin!

The additional member in the family.  :-)

The cutest of them all but kinda aloof!

I tried to make a difference.  The ending....my sister was sick during the new year's eve.  Buti na lang meron nito...ready to eat.  That's the reason why I wanted to learn basic cooking.  Ha-ha!

Sitting in the hilltop is our New year's eve tradition.  Watching the fireworks in the far away city sky.

Unfortunately, I was not able to catch the new year's sunrise.  I woke up late.  I took a photo of the rice fields instead.
