2006.07.18 Still a Bum

I planned to use productively my many free days after resigning from work. However, I'm still a bum, doing almost nothing, watching the television most of the time, surfing the Internet and writing here sometimes. Well, you might notice that prior to working, I was an unproductive bum.

Something in my life made me restrict my activities to that being not stressful or tiring or heavy duty. Yet I know I could do better than sit, rather lie down watching TV. Sometimes I play with my little sisters though. And eat.

What were my plans before taking the plunge to go unemployed? I planned to:

• Read a really nice books with topics relating to the environment and natural resource, travel and tourism, and the Philippines



• Go to SBMA and find out job opportunities there



• Join an NGO and be active



• Clean up my room

What have I done?

• Buy an enriching book about the Philippine forest policy and politics



• Dream about a good job near home



• Sign up for an NGO but never paid for the fee (so I'm not yet officially a member of that org, and now that I'm already 22 I would pay almost double on what I could have a couple of weeks ago)



• Dream about a nice room while watching some nice shows on the television (cable and local channels)

Will I do something out of this idleness? I hope so. Let's see the next time I write here.
