Row 6, Seat 2

-
I am reading my Money, Credit and Banking book when I suddenly remembered that once upon a time I was known and being called as Row 6, Seat 2.

It was how our Accounting 101 teacher would call me when I was in 3rd year high school. It seems as if it is impossible for her to memorize all our names in one school year. When I was in 4th year, I am Row 1, Seat 7. But it was Row 6, Seat 2 that made a whole lot of impact during my adolescent period. It was my first time to call all the possible saints I know to pray for me so that I may not be called for a recitation. It was the first time that official receipts, vouchers, debit, credit and balance sheets mattered to me.

Appreciation

Photo from  here . "Learn to appreciate and world will appreciate your existence." It is funny why many people don't know how to appreciate.  If there is one important lesson that I have learned last year, it is to appreciate even the littlest of things. About a week ago, I had a conversation with a co-worker.  She was complaining about why she did not get the gift that she wants last Christmas and instead she got a coin purse worth 10 pesos.  She even said that even though she gets less salary, she gives expensive gifts.  I was shocked.  I don't know where her words are coming from.  I was supposed to give her a gift for doing little favors for me but when I heard her say those things, I thought she will probably not appreciate what I will give her.  I was offended. I was taken aback.  I got the same coin purse she was complaining about and I never thought that I would receive a gift from that person because I know that she has a ...

Honesty Is The Best Policy

Photo from  here . If you do the right thing, honesty will be your guide. But, if you will be crooked, you will be trapped by your own dishonesty. - Proverbs 11:3 ---------------------------------- I had a stressful day today. I had an investigation, together with other authorities, about a case of dishonesty... stealing a considerable amount of money. It involved one employee who's been in service for almost 10 years. It's a sad and disappointing case.  I was saddened by the fact that it involved money and an old employee. I still couldn't grasp the idea of the case. Just like the other cases we have investigated, it was of fateful discovery. I was disappointed because the person involved did not make use of the chance to defend herself. We asked her if she could explain the circumstances and yet we only received a blank face for a response. She briefly cried but I could not sense the sincerity and truthfulness of each drops of tears from her eyes.  After about three hou...

Changing Bags In A Breeze

A woman of fashion and style knows that bags , like any other accessories, can make or break any outfit. Whether you may be a student or a career woman who is always on the go, changing bags to match your outfit sometimes becomes a hassle especially when you have a lot of things stuffed in your bag.  I have found the perfect solution to this dilemma--a bag organizer!  I bought this bag organizer in a mall for only Php179.00 or roughly $4.00.  Everything in my bag became a lot easier to find because of the different compartments, there's even a slot for a pen or two.  For a big bag user like me, this size is perfect, but there are actually a lot of sizes to choose from depending on the size of your bag.  Aside from organizing your bag, other organizers can stand alone as a bag because of their stylish prints and versatile handles.  Whether you aim for a fast bag change or just to make a little organization in your life, bag organizers are definitely for ke...
