Seriously? Grammarly?

Aside from writer's block, one of the ordeals of a writer is the conscious effort to be zero error in grammar or to be 100 % Grammarly. Writing using the language, not my mother tongue, makes my role as a blogger challenging. Also in my full-time work, my job requires me to compose many written reports, emails and other written correspondences in English. I have to be extra-cautious of my written outputs because my credibility and competency is at stake. This simply means that I have to perform at my best always. I need to be 100% Grammarly. 

When I discovered this Best Spelling and Grammar Checker which is Grammarly, I got thrilled because it works many wonders. As a blogger, I prefer to write while I am online because creative juices must flow and never be held. It makes my blogging easy that I don't need to stop and check my grammar. I continue and let my idea uninterrupted. After I put the last punctuation mark on my entry, I can go back and consider the suggestion of Grammarly. Also, When I am doing written reports, presentation and the like for wok, it can be installed on Microsoft.  It does not only check but also explain what error is committed. It is like I am having a teacher. The most exciting of them all is that Grammarly is for FREE. Yes, it is for free. Don't you love that?

I am enjoying the perks of using it. I suggest you also use it. You can worry less of the grammar nazis because you are 100% Grammarly. Click the links found on this blog post or the one posted on the right side of this site. Try it now!

Why Do I Love Weddings?

I had a work related training at Eden Nature Park and Resort last November 17-21, 2014. The activity was necessary and relevant to me because it was related to my new undertaking at work. However, I cannot deny that it was tiring because we are the host region. Nevertheless, I was satisfied by the whole duration.

Last night of the five-day training, there was a set-up at the function area of the resort's restaurant. Tomorrow would be a wedding. My eyes were having visions of hearts when I saw the decorations. I could not resist myself to take a photo of it. Yes, I admitted to myself I like to witness weddings and I enumerated below WHY DO I LOVE WEDDINGS.

Ready to Become a Silver-Plus-One Adult

When I was about to celebrate my birthday last year, I wrote Looking Back Before I Turn Silver. Reading that post brought me back to that very time I was writing it. Along with the memories, emotions were rekindled as I recited each word. I was having so many hesitations, doubts and uncertainties as I was nearing silver because I took a leap of faith in terms of career and life. Maybe, I was experiencing "quarter life" crisis then ( self diagnosis just to justify what I was experiencing ☺). 

Then  I turned 25 years old. Being at mid-twenties was trying to become adult and young at the same time. I am an adult in terms of making decisions and handling finances I have been always rational and logical in making decisions but this time I am more cautious. When I decide now, I consider the implications in the future. Yes! I am visualizing my future. Everything must be in alignment with what I want to become in the future. In handling finances, I am paying my obligations to be debt free. I am not splurging and the good news is I am starting to invest. It may sound pretentious but I am doing it. As of now, it is not that much but I am starting and taking it seriously. However, I do not pressure myself to be stingy old man. I still know how to have and that keeps me young. 

This month is my birthday month again. I am going to be a year older. I won't be stagnant in the past and enough of looking back.  I just want to be more optimistic than I ever was. I like that my birthday is the penultimate day of the year because my wishes are also like my new year's resolution. What I want to condition my mind are the following listed below (well just a few of them worth sharing in public)
  1. To be deft free
  2. To start investing in stocks wherein I will be managing my own portfolio.
  3. To be in a romantic relationship (HOPEFULLY)
  4. To read daily the bible (enriching spiritual aspect)
  5. To start earning my MBA (God permits)
I guess I can look forward for another year with so much positivity. I just have to surrender to Him for I know God will grant the dreams, ambitions and desires that I really need in this lifetime. So bring it on. I am ready to be a 26-year-old adult.
