LIVING IN THE SKIES!

LIVING IN THE SKIES!
The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving it. -Michelangelo

Current work

I nearly forgot about this blog since a lot has happened to me since I graduated. I am now currently working at Resorts World Manila as a Membership Service Associate while I'm still waiting for my braces to get removed. I honestly want to say that I've nearly lost the "thirst" to pursue my dream job, since this month. I'm dating this guy from work which shares the same interest as me in becoming an international flight attendant eventually. Then my thirst comes back once again.

For a year, I moved out of home and been living independently in every aspect. Financially too if you ask. It has been a great struggle but it feels very rewarding since I'm only one of the few noble people who chose this path. It has been a very liberating year for me, since I moved in and out of places, met a lot of new people, fallen in love, learned how to budget, traveled the Philippines, found my religion, learned how to surf and so much more. Before my application at Resorts World Manila, I've been doing events and modeling for several months before decided to start my career now in the Tourism and Hospitality Industry. If you've been to NAIA Terminal 3 you would see RW Manila just right across. It's the huge establishment consisting of three six star hotel, (Marriot, Maxims and Remington), three floor casino (the largest casino in the Philippines so far) and the Newport Mall where the finest boutiques and restaurant in the Metro is located. It has been a great experience working in a six star environment but at time you'd always wonder that there's something better out there. And then I met M, he works in the same department as mine, Membership Services, where we handle player accounts, cards, information and promotions, in short we're the front liners of the world class casino. M and I started dating and what fascinated me about him the most is his dream to become a Cabin Crew, which is my ultimate dream too. Hence, started the return of my passion to pursue my dreams once again.

During the past year, I have had the share of too much idle time which lead me to read a series of motivational books from Napoleon Hill, Florence Shinn, Jack Canfield, Robin Sharma and etc. They have helped me through this year to keep on going and never give up. And now i will share to you some tips from the book: "A Success Principles: Getting From Where You are to Where You Want To Be". It is said there that to get to where you are you have to know your destination first, then lock in your focus there and work your way towards it. You also have to know where you stand so it's healthy to take a pause in your life and to start making a self-inventory.

I've been starting to read blogs once again for the Cabin Crew requirements and as of now I only have three major setbacks that's keeping me from applying. And that is:

1. I still have my braces on.
2. I don't know how to swim.
3. I may be underweight for my height. (I'm 5'5'' by the way and I'm only 44kg)

It's now time to start to walk the talk and take swimming lessons and pig out until my braces get removed and I'm good. Welcome back my beloved drive to succeed in my dreams.
