Profile
Who am I? I am a screwed-up blogger and an active blog reader since 2007. A soulful dreamer who believes that passion is life and a person who is looking for meaning, just like any other human being in this world. A super girl wannabe who is currently taking chances and chasing pavements, while keeping up with time and living life in general. This is me, and this blog is the outlet of my random thoughts.

Simple Ways to Be Happy at Work

Two out of three people are dissatisfied with their jobs, according to a UK survey last year. If you belong to that two-thirds, I would urge you to do some serious reflections about your life. Because time is too short here on earth for you to spend a good portion of it doing something that makes you unhappy.
Perhaps you gave up on finding your dream job once you realized that you would never be a professional football star or a ballerina. But that doesn’t mean you have to settle for a mundane career that doesn’t excite you.
So ask yourself:
- What would you rather be doing?
- Is there a way for you to make a living doing something that you love and feel passionately about?
- What are the steps to get you there?
- What are you waiting for?
For many of you, it may simply be an emotional block -- a fear of failure, perhaps -- that is keeping you from going for your dream job. So you should make sure to address your emotions as you go through this process. If necessary, consult with an EFT practitioner or a life coach who can help guide you.
In the meantime, you don’t need to suffer through each day. Here are some simple tips to help you enjoy your current job:
- Keep your work in perspective. Consider the bigger picture. Do some voluntary work to gain a broader outlook.
- Remember that you are more than your work. Do not have your identity too strongly tied to the job you do.
- Concentrate on the task at hand. Do not let yourself be distracted by worrying about all the other things to be done.
- Delegate wherever appropriate. Always remember the “3D” rule -- do it, dump it or delegate it -- and never handle a piece of paper twice.
- Have regular breaks. Get away from your normal workplace even if only for five minutes.
- Switch off once you leave work. Mentally say goodbye to your workspace the moment you leave for home.

The Blogger
Not a lot of people know (or would even understand), but I am also a victim of drama obsession.  I've been camping in dramalandia since I was 13 years old, and that's where you will most likely find me when I have nothing to do.
One of the symptoms of this disease is daydreaming about dramas everywhere whether you are at work, walking down the stairs, sleeping, even as you are walking...creepy isn't it? Hahaha!
I am also a big Asian music fan and I think Asian music rocks! I go back and forth from Cpop to Kpop and Jpop, so I may be different (and strange) compared to other people that you can find around.  I am an elder sister  , a dreamer  , a believer  , a gamer  , wanderer  , blogger  , an optimist  , an ultimate foodie  and a, hands down, fangirl  . I love reading books  , writing  , music  , photography and traveling.
I am a nurse by profession  who is also a copy editor  and a freelance writer  . I enjoy learning how to play musical instruments  and learning various languages  . I am crazy, loud, spontaneous, free-spirited and most of the time, a klutz.
Eren Asentista a.k.a. Eray, 23, female, from Dumaguete City, Philippines. My personality...it's complicated. :D Believe me, you wouldn't want to know who I am. Hahaha! XD
I am currently watching...
In the coming days, I plan to watch...
In Asian Entertainment, I fancy...
(This is still lacking, but this is more or less it. LOL! I will most likely be updating this in the future to accommodate my growing list of biases but check em out!)
 
The things that I want to do before I die are the following:
 An Asian cruise.
Templestay in Korea.
An African safari adventure.
Backpacking to Europe.
Traveling through the European railways.
