What Superwoman really needs

I suddenly wish I was a Gremlin that multiplies in water or have the power to clone myself! ( KAGEBUNSHIN NO JUTSU!) Maybe even having the locket that Hermione Granger had in Harry Potter ( I think it was called the Time Turner) so I can do everything I need in the time I need to do it and be in two - or more- places at the same time. I feel like I'm about to burst. I wish I can split myself into two and revolve around - 1, 2, 3, 4... four worlds.

I'm first and foremost an Admin Asst in our Family Business and it's work for four people. I am a Realtor with a start up business (SOUTHERN POINT REALTY) and many clients. I am a daughter and sister to my family and of course, I am a fangirl who has her own wants and needs and fandom to pursue. I have so many things that I want to do in each part of me that I just want to BURST right now and scream.

I know that I have my limits, though I am seriously pushing it. I know I am human and that I can get tired and get hurt. Though, many people call me SUPERWOMAN because they think I am tireless and have endless amounts of powers. If anything is wrong, Maia can do it! If something needs to be done, Maia can do it! I am not complaining. Most of the time I take it upon myself to do that. But sometimes, I am just plain TIRED.

At work, I am loaded with REPORTS, FILINGS, DATA NUMBERS, FOLDERS, FORMS, PAPERS, APPOINTMENTS, CASES, PROBLEMS, ALLOTMENTS, BILLS, PAYMENTS, REQUESTS ,CERTIFICATIONS, EMAILS, INQUIRIES, DESIGNS, PAYSLIPS, ETC. ETC. ETC. It's enough to make anyone cry for help. I have to re-do reports, start over databases from scratch, rinse, repeat. Since my predecessor was a Nincompoop, I had to do everything. (Of course I'm not complaining!)

Southern Point Realty is my own business. I was excited - still am. BUT MY GOSH! I didn't know it was going to be this tough. ( Malou, you are RIGHT!) But with God's Grace, hardwork and a lot of sacrifice, I know that the Realty would launch beautifully. ( Hopefully within the year!)

I have had barely enough sleep in the past few weeks.I think I am getting sick. My social life just DIED. (RIP Social Life). My friends don't even know me anymore. (Who's that?) I am in an HIATUS til UNKNOWN to my FANDOMS. (Who knows when I will have the time or the strength to return?) I make time for my family - that's important. But my business and my work rule my life.

I admit I am a workaholic. It's something I am not proud of. But It's a sacrifice I have to make to make it big in this industry. Manny Villar said "Sipag at Tiyaga!" I am trying my hardest to emulate his actions - maybe to build an empire like his or even succeed in a few great deals that may help me gain a more stable life - and feed my poor, deprived bank account.

I know that at the end of the day, I would still be okay. The sun would always shine after the rain. I would be I am just hoping for a little release. Maybe a little vacation from all this. or even, help in a few things that I am doing. I need an assistant, a PA, a second brain, a shoulder to cry on and someone to rant on when things get tough.

I realized that SUPERWOMAN needs a sidekick. She needs a person who would be there to remind her of the little things that are important. She needs a person to call on to rave when things go right. Someone who can pat me on the back, someone who can just be there when I need company or to remind me to eat, drink or that I am human and that I need rest.

I think what SUPERWOMAN really needs is not really time, but to sit back, relax and refocus. I have been so uptight lately that I feel like I am a ticking time bomb. Maybe, I could take a break. Maybe soon... When I have time.

I hope I have time...

Move over Energizer Bunny!

That bunny will be out of a job soon. I'm taking it's place because I am such a workaholic, or so they say. I keep going and going and going and going and going.... you get the picture. Today, I was very productive.

• I closed a short term lease for my SOMA 1503 Unit (which by the way, is still available for scheduling so if you have friends who are coming home who wants to stay in a condo in Fort, let me know)
• Got a new listing for lease
• Got a new Client (Kitine)
• Applied for Broker Accreditation from Brittany Corp and Pro-friends
• Got all my flyers organized
• Posted my ads for SOMA 1503
• Planned my Flyer to be printed on monday
• Did my "ATE" duties to cleng
  

That's quite a list for such a short day. It seems also that my to-do list is ever growing. I still have about a bazillion things to do. :) And thats the way (uh-huh, uh-huh!) i like it. (uh-huh, uh-huh). I feel so productive and wonderful!

I talked to Maevellyn, one of my friends in college, she told me that "Girl, grabe ka, para kang energizer bunny, wala kang kapaguran! Parang nuclear energy ang nilalabas mo, san mo ba nakukuha ang powers mo." I laughed and told her that it's alright and that I feel better when I multi-task and do a lot of things. She told me that she feels tired for me and that I should rest. Ha! She and about ten million people say so. I won't stop being this way. I enjoy being this busy and being idle would kill me.

I feel empowered today. I feel like I am on fire. I feel like I can go on forever. My mind is saying GO GO GO!! however, my body is saying STOP! I should be more kind to my body and not abuse it, but I am a person with such an active mind. :) I usually go the other way.

I guess I'll give Mae, Eloi, Koi and everyone a chance today and give myself a power break. I deserve it, right? I need my energy for more things. Besides, I do not want to be blamed for putting Energizer Bunny out of a job.
