LANGUAGE BARRIER?

Ok, first and foremost, LMAO! This entry has nothing to do with the title. Seriously, I'm thinking of switching the writing language to Bahasa Melayu when I'm done with the revamps. What do you think? I guess I would be better writing in Malay than English. Do comment and suggest. Huhuhu.

En Route To Become A Journalist

Hey sweethearts! Miss me? Ah-ha. It's been hectic recently. I've been flying from KK and now I'm in KL, this upcoming Feb 8th, fly back to KK again, and on 26 Feb, I will officially move to KL for I guess, forever? Can't tell you that coz I myself have no plan yet.

On January 12, I've attended an interview for a job that sort of my "dream job". I swear I don't prepared well but thanks God, I managed to make it to the 2nd interview in KL. At first, as per I acknowledged, there will a complimentary tix to fly us for the 2nd interview but unfortunately it's just another rumor which is I finally made a big risky investment for the sake of grabbing the lifetime opportunity!

The day's came, Jan 24, 30 out 200 being interviewed nationwide candidates showed off and apparently, I'm the most nervous among them! Only God knows, how I'm almost giving up upon knowing their strong background on the media industry, it's stiff, I can tell! This may sound cliche, but the only thing I did that time was reciting my pray silently in heart. Task given was presentation by group and individually. Worst part is, we became the first to present and the good part was, at least we done first with the burdens!

Now, I can tell how happy I am, the verdict been so nice to me. I'll be moving to KL coz starting the March 1st, we will undergo a training in route to be a real journalist for the tabloid. Been touching onto this level, I will ensure that nothing will become a barrier for me to nail the 'trial' in fact, I wanna show them that they worth picking me in.

KL, here I come with a big dream. Watchout metro peoples!

Never Had A Dream Come True

Guess what, Ms Keys made this and put all of what's on my mind in this piece.



New York, just wait for me. I'll hit you with a massive big things one day!

Call me a dreamer :) xx

Migrate?Moving?

Been few days not making any entry, I wonder if I should go on with this blog anymore. It's been a while and I'm proud to say that there's so many thing I've learnt from the moment I indulge into the blog world. I  kinda a worth-wore blog seeker now, just to scoop useful infos, writing skills, even in order to determine what's the best concept I must use for my future blog project. Honestly, I'm started to think of a fashion blog anyway. Still on progress to collect some materials and guides. Heh.

Life ain't easy when I noted that the past comes around back again. Yeah, being jobless isn't worthy to proud of at all, the main concern is who gonna pay for the loans esp the car! I'm so gonna sink if I couldn't get a job asap! Don't ask, but I already sent my resume to few places, which potential to hire me with such experiences and field of study. Lord, hear my prays, grant me a job. A nice one! Huhu.

Arrogant-zero to speak, I received two calls from two different employers yesterday and today asking me if I could make it to their interview while I'm still frustrated with the not extended ex-job. The matter rose, both required me to based in KL and this does really put me in dilemma since I'm not yet ready to go back to Peninsular admittance I loved being here, my hometown now.

Well, haven't make any decision yet, cause it's just the fourth day of me became jobless, perhaps I should give myself some times and obviously, good rest to think wisely whether which path I should take without regretting it later. There's a call I've been waiting and I put a high end hope to that job to be mine, so there's no such thing to rush considering there still left on saving, fair enough to hold me for bit more periods. Wait, rest, calm and see what's will going on.

Wish me luck guys.

Trapped In Dilemma xx

Best I Ever Had

Initially, I damn lazy to write this entry. But reminiscing throughout the year 2010 makes me want to scar something here to welcome the year of 2011. I'm not sure to say this but 2010 made a really huge impact to my life. Unable to list down the items happened, I rather stamp 2010 a best year I ever had.

Starting with, a jobless got employed! It's like a threshold to a new phase of life to mine cause this is the first steady job came to me. Yes, it's skidded from what I took during at uni, but still, I need a job to pay my expanses. Unfortunately, today I officially became a jobless again. Reason : contract ended. *sigh*

I made myself joining a big singing competition in Sabah which known as KENTE stands for KadazanDusun Entertainment Next Top Entertainer and be one of the finalist 10. No regret, I knew alot of peoples, meet so many friends, experiencing the real scenario of singing competition(there's always hidden hand and or injustice in judgmental) and most of all, the ultimate fun I had harvest.

Toplist thing-to-dos including settling my driving license, to own a car, buy my dream cellphone, and buying a laptop had been accomplished! My life couldn't be better until I owned all this esp the car. Now only I can feel so free and I'm like a bird flying in scatter places. Regardless the fuel, the scratches, I even installed a car-security-protector in case people try to stole it. Arggghh! One plus burden since I have to pay monthly for that silly thing....erk.

Whatelse, oh ya did I ever mentioned about my crashed love story? Hurm... I better mute about it but factually, till this time, nobody can really have idea how my heart terribly wounded when I lost that person. To be honest, I just want to play around, be flirtatious, and getting know this person just for fun, but at the end karma punished me with a hard to say, dump! If only you read this, hope you will get anything you want form the person you are with now. :)

Despite all those emo thingy, I felt blessed to get close again to my family since there's some few issues which I don't feel suitable to reveal here. Previously, I never had time or I rather think so, to come dropping by to my mum's house. But now, my day wouldn't be complete if I'm not going there for at least having my lunch. Can't deny the cliche, mum's cook is the best!

I also start blogging after long time of wanting to do it. I even became a bookworm to strengthen my English since there so much space I need to improve and I still lack of anything. 

See, how's tiger year(which was mine) did and gave big things/improvement into my life. It's not the entire what's happened obviously, but at least I stored them in my head just in case they're useful for the upcoming task. yay!

2011 seems promising although I just in fact lost my job officially by today, but I true believe there's always be a greener side of the field. So I made some resolutions for the year 2011 but allow me to keep it to myself. Whatever things going on, hope that He'll be kind enough to give and cherish me with more success ahead. 2011, BRING IT ONN!!!! yeahhh!

Have a blissful and tantalizing sizzling 2011 peeps!

Lots of Lurve xoxo

The Fact Is

Back in mood, hey buddy this is another entry on health again. Health? Ok I just labeled it by myself. Nevermind but does anyone of you out there ever attacked by headache when you're hungry? I've pointed this question to few of my friends and ended up with various kind of answers. Well, I have this kind of 'disease' since long time ago, cannot recall when was I first detected it. It goes like this, whenever I starving for food, due to some procrastination, when suddenly I will be attack by a big pain on my head.

By that time, all I can think is the paracetamol, the pill that I'm not so sure could heal the pain. Cause sometimes it works. Hurm. So been driven with curiosity on actually the real root for this 'disease', I referred it to my 'guru' which is the eHow.LMAO. So ladies and gentlemen, here's some explanations.

Cause

1. Low blood sugar, or hypoglycemia, is caused by not eating enough or eating the wrong foods and can cause headaches. This is why people get headaches when they are hungry. The pain comes from the low blood sugar stimulating the nerve pathways, but the specific mechanics aren't clear. Low blood sugar also can make migraines that already exist more painful.
   
   The body's blood sugar depends on glucose levels. Glucose comes from eating carbohydrates such as potatoes, fruit and bread. When it enters the bloodstream, glucose provides energy to the cells. The glucose that isn't needed right away is converted to a form called glycogen and is stored in the liver and muscle cells. If a person isn't eating, the blood sugar begins to drop and the body converts the glycogen back to glucose. The glucose released raises the blood sugar back to a normal level.

What to Eat

2. The best way to control blood sugar is to eat regular meals. The types of food eaten are also key. When a person eats sugary food on an empty stomach, the blood sugar goes up. But it also raises the insulin levels in the body. The insulin helps the glucose enter the cells, which causes the blood sugar to drop, often to a level that's too low.
   
   Eating a combination of complex carbohydrates (like whole grains, beans and peas) and protein is the best way to keep the blood sugar steady and avoid headaches. Complex carbohydrates break down into glucose faster than simple carbohydrates. Eating foods high in fiber also helps stabilize blood sugar, as does including healthy fats (from nuts or olive oil, for example) in the diet. These fats are digested more slowly than carbohydrates and protein. In addition to helping keep the blood sugar even, they may make headaches less painful.
   
   Eating foods rich in magnesium (spinach, beans, nuts, and seeds) and riboflavin (leafy greens, dairy products, lean meat, enriched breads and cereals) may stop headaches or make them milder.

Tips

3. Eating more often also can help stabilize blood sugar. Some nutritionists recommend eating six small meals a day instead of three large ones. Keeping snacks handy for when a person has gone too long without food also helps. Skipping breakfast often leads to low blood sugar. The body needs fuel after eight hours of rest. The body also needs fuel after exercise, because the blood sugar drops while exercising. It helps to eat a high-carbohydrate snack before vigorous exercise.
   
   Caffeine doesn't usually have a big effect on blood sugar, especially if it's just a couple cups of coffee a day. But taking in large amounts of caffeine, especially over a short period, can interfere with keeping blood sugar stable.  

article by Melinda Dean on eHow.

Basically it revolves in the internal mechanism of body and the main cause is due to low blood sugar? OK. I hated Biology but I hope I can find something specific to explain to.

Well, that's it. Bored isn't it? Argghh...but this is just to share to them who undergo the same symptom to me too. Gonna flipping Haruki Murakami's Kafka On The Shore now. Sayounara for now. Yay!

Fun VS Faith?

Ok, this may sounds bit offending but hey, I must blog this before departing to the place that I've been always wanted to go since I knew the place was existed! Hurm, this weekend seems so inviting yet challenging at the same time cause its made me in a crossroad despite, I already decided to go for one few months back.

On FAITH, I know I'm a sinner, and I won't let all that sins and bads haunt me all the time. For real, when I'm still a kid, I'm a church kid whereas I won't miss any church events during that old days. But time goes by, I've been apart to residential school and the faith became lil bit neglected. At that time, studies must come first!

So it happens that I saw the event created on facebook about a seminar aka retreat to be held at Holy Trinity Carmel and gosh, it's so opened my heart to be wanting and joining the occasion. With no hesitation, I jotted the date on my calender and today, the day comes to it.

On the other side, which is FUN, two days ago, my sister text me asking for assistance for her appearance and explained that she's competing in a pageant contest. It's so last minute that she had to get the fully available make up artist only, and no time to waste for grabbing any superb dress somewhere in KK. So, dress was chosen from the local boutique saloon only.

I did assisted her, which I drove her to Keningau to get a heels since she don't have a good one, we went to search any alternative dress since the dress she's got was a bit, mum's taste, and even be with her the whole rehearsal at the same day. What a tiring but honestly, I'm happy to lend such help esp for my own sister.

Today, these two things happen altogether and I can't attend both cause the locations are a problem, too far, and also both events require me to engage form 6pm till 12am. What a very tough choices. Well, it's final, I gotta choose and I'm gonna tell the verdict.

THE VERDICT : Georgie Joseph will attending the Retreat of Healing the Faith at Holy Trinity Carmel, starting this 5pm till Sunday(unknown exact finish time). God, I'm carrying bunch of prays for you to listen and I know I made the right decision.

So, dear my lovely sister, MISS MERYL FOSTER, I will pray that you gonna have a great time during Miss Rainforest tonight, you'll be love by the judge, and anything happens, take it as a lesson. No lost, no gain. But I do hope you win!

FAITH

 Lord, I come to you.

FUN

my beautiful beloved sis. 

theme : Rainforest Queen(sempatt ;p)

I'll depart to my destination shortly and I hope that my prays will be answered yet I found what I really want.

Faithfully xx

The Biggest Ignorance

When talking about health and beauty, well, these are the biggest remorse that would be a reason for me to curse myself. Due to ignorance, I never even notice this when I was on my process of growing up till I'm here now. Yeah, people says, "it's never too late to start" but in this case, as we're getting older, bunch of things come across to our life until its jammed our mind when we cannot figure which is first to handle.

I noticed several of my friends, either guys or girls, they're starting to rub lotion on their hand, some holding and playing dumbell during the hostelhood, the guys even do sit ups and push ups at night, I saw their 'extra' toiletries which now only I've figured out, my cousins put the egg yolks on their face at morning, while I don't even give a damn of what is going on. And now, it all make sense, lucky them to realize it earlier that the dumbass such I am.

Upon realizing this good-for-future-guarantee stuffs, I initiated my fully care mostly on what should best for my physical and internal. If you read my older posts, there's an entry on the beauty@grooming I had wrote. So skip on that, now, a question for the guy esp, who among you don't bother to own a six pack/ideal/flat tummy, please raise your head and hand?! NOBODY! So do I. I dream to obtain that dream figure of most of the Hollywood's actors, healthy and fine skin they're have, but skip that, they're freaking rich, and me, I'm just poor!

Then came this resolution to me few years back, flat tummy, bit shapy body(not intentionally wanting six pack), just nice and yummy one. *giggle* But, it's seems for real, nothing is easy in the earth. All needing efforts, passions, disciplines, motivations, enthusiasm blah blah blah. Think I gone too far, here some easy and practical for your watch(and try to practice, probably) :



If you're got extra income, why don't you subscribe any health magazine, as per mine, the Men's Health. Or at least you catch and grab any monthly issue at the book store/stall. It's quite affordable and going about RM10. Believe it or not, there's bunch of infos you may gain inside the edition. Here is the sample cover of the December issue ;

I made this image gigantic to highlight the 'packs' as a motivation.LMAO

Feel free to drop and would be a pleasure to add Men's Health Malaysia on facebook.
Or you can take a trip to their online page.

MEN'S HEALTH MALAYSIA ONLINE

Basically, I have to do this so that I'll always stick to accomplish my goal. Let's get healthy buddies. Probably, getting hot too?! No, I'm not.

Good Resume At First

Now, the title is very straight-forward! I beat many of you out there still working on searching the best job to build your career undeniably. Job is the most hardest tool to get whenever we leave the school. Some jobs may not require high qualification, but to those holding more than a form 5 qualification, you do need to aware that the resume alike a door to a big house! Noticeable, job seekers don't really put a high concern when it goes to writing a resume. Yeah, admittedly, luck is kinda what we all seek of, but hey, pay some efforts folks!

Attacked by boredom led me to this. Take some times to have a look and practice these steps on writing a good resume.

How to Write a Good Resume

Like a good cover letter, a good resume can make or break a person being short-listed for an interview. It's important to ensure that your resume covers everything in order for the prospective employer to get a complete picture of you and what you can offer the company.

I want to do this! What's This?

 

Instructions

1. Keep resumes to a maximum of 2 pages long. Employers receive a lot of resumes for one position and won't have the time to go through a 3- or 4-page resume.
2. List an objective at the beginning of your resume and target it to the job/company that you are applying to. Objectives give the prospective employer an idea of what you are looking for.
3. Move things around. Have more than one resume layout. For example, if you are short on work experience that would relate to the position you are applying for but have volunteer experience that matches, put that first. It's best to have relevant information first in order to keep the employer's attention.
4. Don't put "Reference available upon request" at the end of your resume. All employers know that and it doesn't need to be stated.
5. Consider whether you need to add your interests. In most cases it is unnecessary information that takes up valuable space.
6. Use bullet points when describing job duties. This is easier to read than big paragraphs.
7. Always use specifics/numbers if you can. For example, if you were applying for a sales position you might mention what percentage of sales you had in your previous job or the number of customers you typically handled per day.
8. Add any continuing education courses you have taken. For example, if you've taken 1 hour courses on how to deal with difficult customers, add that to your resume. This shows the prospective employer that you are interested in furthering your knowledge and aren't afraid to learn new things.
9. Have an "Additional Information" section at the end of your resume and add any special achievements or honors, especially if they relate to the position for which you are applying.

I had practiced this before, and I made my resume precisely to 1 page only. I won't lie, but this is works! I'm a job seeker too now, so it's better for me to share this to those needed. GOOD LUCK!

I need a job xx

Crossroad Crossroad

Recently, sleep isn't so manageable as always. Couldn't count for how many wakes I had made once I get to sleep. Causes ; too much to think. The major one, the near-end contract of my job! If now is at the past 6 months ago, I can beat that I'm still browsing the net and replying the comments on Facebook without any worry! Let's face the reality, times aren't pausing. Its even rushing!

People says, and on what I've been experienced previously, instinct always right. In this dilemma, my instinct early told that our contract will be extended. Well, how I can so sure cause till this moment, the upper management haven't release the verdict yet. I would be bliss if they can give us the GOOD news in the verge of November and December. (or, just the BAD one) This would such a justice for us, to make us able to find another job so soon. *sigh*

I'm so gotta make a way ahead to go and pray to Him, cause no matter what, prays count. I believe so, in addition of just the efforts itself.

In fact, if it happens that I need to find a new job, I hope it worth to accept the post, and pay a guarantee to my future onwards! AMEN

the man on the verge :(

When The Cash Runs Out

By guessing the title given, you may already got the idea that I am so broke now. Just now, I went to banked in another cash to my landlord for the monthly rent payment. Living alone, I means renting, may be good at some point but could be trouble you in another way. First, I always forgot that I'm renting a room. So, whenever I get my salary, I never thought about the rent payment on top of my must-pay-list every month.

Times passed by, and I'm still zero whenever it comes to saving! You know the feeling when we're holding some cash, the more we got, the more it will be spend. I won't say that I'm a shopaholic but that's the fact. I had few times planning to save at least 500bucks in bank and ended with nothing. I should be back to the old days when no few things to own, and to pay as well.

In that case, I made some approaches to apply as the solution isn't popup that easy if I still figure nothing. So here is the list ;

1. Pretend that we already have nothing left in our account.

2. When you think about goods, take times to analyze whether it's important/ do we really need it? If it is not, then forgot it!

3. Limit your moves or attending any invitations that will cost you. If it does not require you to take out some cash, consider it as the way to socialize more.

4. Distract yourself from any shopping thoughts by reading, surfing the internet, or exercising.

5. Minimize your spends based on what's left in your wallet. Only do withdrawal when it comes to zero or insufficient.

I may miss some of the points but that's the least I can advised based on what I am doing whenever I broke. Remember that saving is essential coz we never know what the future can do to us. For better or worst, the best we can do is ready.

Let's saving peeps!
