Work Life - balance/ no balance

Before I begin, let's congratulate my hubby's brothers' wedding aka my bro in-law!



Beautiful yeah?

It may be a super tiring weekend but then it was definitely a memorable moment for the both of them. And for me, it was my first attempt on 'actual day' photography! I LIKE! Well, if i have a chance, I would definitely love to brush up and one day, ONE DAY, I shall be a photographer... money comes by clicking and editing! MUAKS!

First week of August was my final week of freedom! Well, Sunday was officially my last day as a housewife. I have resigned! Monday was my first day in my new job. Well, need not to say, I am already missing my freedom and flexibility. I miss those long holiday and late night hang outs! Well, I am nothing more than just a work-being... Wake up- eat-work-eat-work-eat-sleep-wake up- eat- work- eat - work and goes on! This has been my life for the last two days! Thank God it is a holiday today! But then there is nothing much more than settling my banking stuff, cleaning the house and replenish my sleep! After all that, I am still back to normal routine on improving my knowledge regarding my work.

I am well defeated daily, but then I take what Keith says :- we get up each time we are defeated! Here goes, get up each morning with new motivation and defeated each time after work. Come back, pray and get up again the following day! My rest is always found in the LORD And God is still the best person to talk to.

The only thoughts I have is how to sustain this life by suppressing the pressure? Keep on looking towards the best possibilities to get the best out of this bad routine. After all, our situation is determined by our cosmology aka world view! 

What are the things that I can do to make my life better?
> Get an iphone to get connected... (no personal mail, FB and MSN in work... I wonder reading news is allowed?)
> Sign myself up for a gym membership - to sweat out the stress and tiredness, exercising not only keeps you in shape but then improve your alertness, sharpness and sleeping time (need not take a long hour sleep)! 
> take a good walk and take some pictures - to make life more colorful and meaningful 
> take a nap during lunch - to sustain me through the rest of my day - I am gonna buy a pillow to work!
> Don't get cheated by my work hours - must be smarter and no longer naive
> Options are wide open and I am still young! Exploring opportunities and who knows I might find something suit me best!
> Never neglect God in the times to tiredness... He is still the best rest
> Never throw your stress thoughts to your spouse, you'll never know what it will end up to be...either a peace in your heart or just another stress in your butt!
> Keep smiling not matter how much it hurts
> Look at work positively! It is a learning curve!
> Learn to love the Jam and toll! It is a gift from our government! It is our specialty! It will not be us without them! They truly mold us to be more patient and more creative in our earnings! Hence, we can survive anywhere with anything!
> Enjoy the sunrise while you have been sleeping through it 1/4 of our life! Enjoy the sunset, which we usually miss due to TV.
> munch during work hours! 
> try to wear smth nice to work but smth not too nice.. don;t wanna be too eye catchy!
> Lastly, be the salt and light!

My micro lalat!
