How to improve team spirit

I've been having discussions with a new group these past few days, and I must say what I've been learning a lot from them. What makes what I learn believable is the fact that they actually do what they preach.

This is one of the lessons that have struck me the most. You might think it's simple, but it's a lot harder to practice. And the lesson is: "When you're up, go down. When you're down, go up."

Contradicting? Not really. If put in the right context, it'll make sense. What it basically means is that when you're happy (or up), tell the people below you (meaning you're subordinates and/or team members) about it. If you're sad, depressed (or down, you get the picture), tell your manager/lead about it, and they can help you.

It's time to move on

Something I made over my spare time. It's not final, so there's still room for improvement. If you have ideas on how to improve, be my guest. :)

It's time to move on

I loved you baby, and you know I have
I've been a fool to let you know
My friends know how much I've suffered in your arms
But still, I follow

What if

This is a little something I came up around two years ago. I never got to really finish it before, and when I realized I still remember most of the original lyrics, I decided to finish the whole thing.

NOTE: Inputs are highly welcomed. :)

What if

I saw her standing all alone on the other side
I tried to come and talk to you but the words can't go by
Kept hesitating, kept holding back
Until another takes her away

I have found it

I have finally found the person I'll share my life with for the rest of my life. At long last, I've felt content and secure. I was happy.

Poor

Well, that's an exaggeration. More of limited. Limited in resources. *sigh*

Hirap ng medyo nasanay ka na meron kang a little something to spare, then all of a sudden what you have is just enough to live through the day. I mean, it's not really *that* bad, pero when I want to do things, I end up being limited by what I have.

I've been thinking of buying a new camera (DSLR) and pursue my interest in photography. But given my current circumstances, I might not have that much resources to buy one. It might take me a year or two to somewhat settle, so I might just have to settle with my Canon A710 IS. Maybe I'll try to read more on digital editing to enhance the quality of the photos I'll take, given that it's not very ideal for dark/dim settings.

I've been wanting to go out of the country (may it be work or leisure) for a veeeeery long time. And given a decent camera, I'll be able to take pictures, good ones. But, as always, money is the limiting factor. I just get enough to live through the day, and even saving 1 or 2 thousand a month has become very tedious. So much for travelling and exploring new places outside the Philippines.

I bought a car last November, and it hasn't helped much in my predicament. I do get to drive every now and then, but when I think of the monthly payments I need to make to the bank, not to mention the insurance I'll pay mid year, I get so overwhelmed. Add the fact that I'll also have to pay my life insurace come August. I'll need to make some more juice to keep up. *double sigh*

I just needed to ramble about all this things. It gets frustrating at times, though. But I know I'll live through it, somehow. All I need to do is believe provision will come, at the times when I need it most.
