"Huwag mong pangunahan." A friend would always remind me whenever I overthink things. Yesterday, I presented my paper on organizational change. I chose a topic that was simple but impactful for the hospital. I procrastinated the entire week, worrying that the panel might not like the topic because of its simplicity. But to my surprise, the feedback I received last night was overwhelmingly positive! The reactor said she loved my presentation, commended my delivery, and had no questions because it already contained all the details they were looking for. Huhu, thank You, Lord!

I am especially grateful to two of my classmates. We practiced the night before the actual presentation, giving each other comments and tips to help us feel more prepared and less pressured. We also practiced some technical aspects to avoid any delays during the actual presentation. Their support made a huge difference, and it felt good knowing we were all in this together.

The past few days have been a whirlwind. I had been so anxious, juggling the preparations for an upcoming CPD seminar, work tasks, and this paper. Yesterday was packed—I reported in the morning for execom, then went straight home after work to focus on my presentation. I was supposed to attend another meeting in the afternoon but decided I wasn’t available. Luckily, the others were busy too. Funny how, when I’m swamped with work stuff, organizational tasks, and school responsibilities, everything seems to pile up all at once. Sheesh. Hahaha!

Tomorrow, another week begins—another set of challenges. I guess I knew what I signed up for. I wanted challenges and growth, and here we are. It’s both exhilarating and daunting, but I’m learning to take it one step at a time, to trust the process, and to believe in myself.

Hey, You!

Annyeong, Reader!

Looks like you've been digging through my old post. I know I’ve been a bit quiet here lately, and you probably have an idea why. Anyway, I really appreciate you taking the time to read these little things I share.  

I bet the one-liners were kind of a let-down, huh? I get it. "This should have been a tweet!🙄" I was definitely being lazy with the reviews. But hey, talking about movies and shows without spoiling them is tough! Let’s call it a solid excuse. HAHA!  

Funny thing though, revisiting those posts made me realize a few things—like how I need to chill out more and stop working myself too hard. Oh, and about that part-time teaching thing? I did swing by my undergrad and grad school universities to process my credentials, you know, just in case. 😉 But yeah, not anytime soon.  

So, to you, dear reader, thank you for nudging me back to these reminders. It’s a nice little nudge to take it easy and just enjoy the ride.

Rewatching Movies

Despite having pending tasks like my Action Research Proposal, some PAMET stuff, and work-related things, I decided to relax and watch a movie instead. It's my way of respecting my mind, body, and soul—no work beyond working hours, unless it’s an urgent call, of course.

I rewatched "Her", a movie from 2013. Back then, I found the technology cool, but it also weirded me out how humans relied on AI as their personal assistants or secretaries. And honestly, I felt sorry for the guy falling in love with an OS he paid for. It’s interesting how the creators predicted how things would turn out now, but the movie also showed a sad truth: some people relying on AI for companionship.

I really hope nobody ends up investing feelings in something that isn’t real.
