Watch your health.

Lately, I haven’t been sleeping properly. Haha! Well, as usual actually. But I can tell I have been eating with better habits than before because mom always makes me breakfast. Hihi, love you mom!

I read about fda food pyramid and it inspired me to eat more better foods – of course mainly the food that are healthy in vitamins like vegetables and fruits.

So to start, I’m thinking of buying strawberries later which are my favorite!

In Reality.

In reality, I am sick right now and I should be resting. But here I am, blogging anyways. I just felt like it. But will probably rest after this. It’s just that, I wanna rant lol.

It’s this annoying OJT. I pictured myself before to be enjoying and having lots of fun during this time of my life. On the contrary, it made me more sick of the idea of getting a job – convincing me to do stuffs on my own rather than some company.

Thing is, I hate what we’re told to do there, really. I feel like the most worthless of them all no matter how much I know, I know. My OJTmates get to participate in exciting projects while I get to what..browse for free? Whut, download? LOL really. I was so engrossed when he told me to study HTML5, XHTML and CSS3 now we’re made to search stuff again for their project. At least my other OJTmate gets to participate in the Android project he’s given. Me? I don’t know, it’s like just because I belong to a school not known I am treated like shit.

Just..seriously, this is freaking tiring and sick. Makes me even more sick than I am, plus that I am sick of hosting problems of other people who treat me like I’m some maid who they can ask favors to do all the time.

Like honestly? I want to runaway and hide from them all and just do what makes me happy..which, I don’t even know anymore..

On the Job Training Report!

This post has been in draft for ages. Haha, yes really. I meant to post after a week of my OJT. I even meant have a blog for my internship days. But I think I’ll pass. Tsk.

Everyday, when I get home all I want to do is sleep. Add up to that our crappy internet provider which have been making things annoying for the whole November and almost this December(?)

So far, my internship is well, okay I guess. At least I always do something. Although I’m pretty disappointed because in my heart, I am not meant to do encoding jobs and copy paste jobs. But I really can’t complain much :(

I just hope, I’ll be given some awesome project I’ll enjoy doing and at the same time, learn something. It’s unfair – out of all the interns, I was the only one without a project other than the one who will be absent until January because of his measles.

Oh well, I only have two months or so to fill in anyway.

How to… stay sane!

It’s natural to feel sometimes as though everything is getting too much. The modern world is a complicated place to be living in, and the strong self-challenging attitude most of us have evolved as part of the quest for success can bite back when things aren’t quite going your way. However, there’s no need to remain stuck in negative thought-cycles: read below for some quick and easy ways to keep your head up in troubled times.

 

3 practical steps towards a positive mental attitude

  • Keep active

Studies have shown again and again that a healthy body is the key to a healthy mind. Even if you don’t feel like it, take a walk or go to the gym on a regular basis to keep your heart pumping and your endorphins flowing.

  • Eat well

Many people suffer from a dependence on sugar and caffeine, which promotes a swings-and-roundabouts energy state. Instead, eat simple carbohydrates and plenty of protein to ensure you don’t slump halfway through the day.

  • Talk!

It may sound obvious, but human contact is the key to feeling good about yourself. Don’t save meetings with friends for when you have your ‘best face’ on – make a point of seeing a friend at least once a day, even if just for a quick coffee so you can ‘touch in’. Don’t let the computer be a substitute for conversation; reading the IMDB or eHarmony blog to check in with your online friends may be fun, but you need face-to-face time as well.

3 long-term steps towards a positive mental attitude

  • Take action!

When you’re just thinking about problems, they tend to seem impossible to deal with. But taking small steps towards what you want is comparatively easy. So if you’d like a better job, take out your CV and edit it to perfection – looking at a list of your achievements will give you an added boost. You can’t pluck a dream relationship out of thin air, but you can sign up for online dating or ask friends if they know anybody who might be interested – or just smile at that cutie in the coffee shop!

  • Stop yourself

When you start to feel your problems are insurmountable, take a step back and break them down. A harsh word from your boss doesn’t mean your career’s over, and one bad date doesn’t mean you’ll never find love. Sometimes when you’ve isolated the one little thing that’s making you unhappy, it’s surprisingly easy to dismiss.

  • Be good to yourself

It’s not weak to take some time out for a treat, such as seeing a film or getting a massage. It’s also great to do things you’re good at – whether that’s golf, yoga or playing an instrument – to boost your self-confidence.

These are just ideas for a more positive mental attitude. Ultimately, you can find out what works for you. But whatever you do – stay positive!
