Don't get me wrong.

I love summer. The beaches here, the lazy afternoons and those ice-cold smoothies from the freshest tropical fruits you can imagine, are ready for the taking.

So why the bummer?

I took a job late December in a flower company, hoping to augment my income. I was desperate to find a job and I'm worried that if I don't get a job soon I'll be in deep shit. I enjoyed working for that company, but unfortunately, after not being able to do what the owner wants(since he is not really telling me what to exaclty do and wants me to figure it out on my own), he called me a sneaky FILIPINO liar and wants me out. I still have my dignity after his racist remark (he's an American) so I resigned.

Here I am, typing my sorrows away in my laptop, while looking for home-based jobs instead. I find it interesting, at the same time doing what I love to do - interacting with some friends and writing your thoughts through blogs.

Hmmm. Maybe summer isn't a bummer for me after all. As long as I still have lots of friends to talk to.

Thanks for those who added me as their friend. And thanks for those who read my blog.

I wish to send you some smoothies but since we're miles apart, just try this:

Apple

Watermelon

Papaya or Mango

Add some sugar or Honey and of course, crushed ice!

Voila! Tropical Summer Smoothie!

 

Cheers!

Hi dayspring712,

 

It`s always bad that we have people of this kind in this world, but we shoudn´t give up hope. Once we start bothering ourselves with that sort of humans, we start wasting our time and lives, and sometimes we don´t even get back on the track again. Too many people in this world are hard to please, make us responsible for their own life and mistakes.The hardest ones are  the ones who do not want to change and learn, we must do it right for them otherwise they will always give us a hard time. I have learned to concentrate on live and myself, keeping the secret of happiness to myself since all we get is fake praise and pretenders as preachers. The ones calling us egoists while ruining our lives!! Too many people mean it well with us, it seems!! Why?? Because they are the less expected!! Too many people trying to seek revenge for their own misery!!

Make the best out of  life since you are able to enjoy the nature, the sea, the climate, the sand, the fruits.... even without being rich... Too many western have to save money for years,  or even take a loan to visit your country, to feel free, to have enjoyed something!!  So life isn´t that bad afterall, ist it ;-)) 

Cheer up :-)
