R.E.F.L.E.C.T.I.O.N.S


http://www.christinehassler.com/2012/11/wondering-if-your-dreams-will-ever-come-true/

 This past week has been happening, like the whirlwind. Sweeping me off from the land of rejection to the heaven of acceptance.  Faced with utmost rejection and losing hopes of pursuing my dreams, i wonder whether have i really reached the point, where suddenly things start to work in my favour?

I have finally gotten my internship in a good PR agency. Why am i still on an internship after graduation? Reason being that I do not have adequate experience in public relations which make me inadequate to try for a full time job. I'm not sad at all. In fact, I'm entirely over the moon! A deciding factor is the corporate culture of the company. I love it when company directors are down to earth and willing to know each other better, regardless of who you are. I am confident that my future environment will be conducive for me to learn the ropes of PR.

I feel very honoured and privileged to have met nice directors throughout the past two weeks. Despite their amicable personalities, i know that they have high expectations on the work requirements. I would do my best to achieve that!

Joining the workforce in the future means that I now have to make adjustments to my life. This includes figuring out how to bring my chrysanthemum tea (with goji berries) to the office, ensuring that my eyes are in optimum health, keeping myself from occupational hazards. At the age that we are living in, it is always important to engage in preventive measures rather than healing oneself (for the recovery journey is not easy).
It took me almost 2 years to figure out the solution for dry eyes and the emotional burden which comes along with the physical illness is not light at all.

I will be sharing with everyone my daily food routine to help in my dry eye recovery soon.

Till then,
Josephine

Beautiful Days of My Life: I hold onto my dreams.

Blessing in Disguise


Today, for once, I would like to bring the focus to a significant meeting that I had yesterday. How should i describe it? Can I say, that after the meeting, I feel that there has been a reason for everything. And that things just feel that things might go positively well from today onwards. Previously, there have been moments where I have felt that things were not going my way. The amalgamation of negative feelings set in. Frustration, anxiety, sadness - you name it. However, I have been reminding myself of the need to stay positive, for fear of the negative feelings culminating into a self-fulfilling prophecy. Not forgetting another important reason, I strongly believe that emotions have an intimate relationships with your health. Therefore, it is very important that we keep our health in check.

I feel very honoured to have met this guy (Director of Mulberry Marketing Communications Singapore). What was truly unforgettable when he introduced me as a friend to his friends. His friends were busy preparing for the launch of their restaurants at Marina Square. I shall not disclose too much. We had very wonderful conversations and he offered great advice to me - which type of PR companies i should look out for, how I should prepare myself for interviews and steps that i should undertake. At times, I do have doubts about myself. I feel encouraged after the meeting and strive to put in all efforts to achieve my dreams. The chase is still not over yet. I know i have much to work on, and I know it is not time for me to give up yet.

I recalled what my primary school teacher has just told me, " there are times where you seem to be going through a rough patch, but once you reach the ultimatum, good things will start to come your way. of course, you need to put in some efforts."

Beautiful Days of My Life: I have the courage to go overcome any limitations, including limitations of myself.
