ang pagninilay…
Saturday, January 14th, 2006the year that was…2006 is here already and i cant help but look back on the year that was…generally, i can say 2005 was one whooping year for me…got a lot of firsts…
- feb 21, 2005 was my hire date for my first job ever!
-it is also my first time to be away from home for the longest time…almost 11 months…
-aside from being home sick one of my struggles for the year was learning to keep and earn friendship
-still trying to meet the goals set for myself
but counting my blessings..i really have a lot…
- now ive realized on how to improve and develop one’s self and be a professional
-ive tried to let go of some "emotional baggage"
-it feels great to know my parents trust me enough now to "stay afloat" on my own and be independent
-i get to support my family especially my bro…
-got the chance to enjoy the rides at Star City…honestly, its my first time to ride a carousel, ferris wheel and roller coaster also (second childhood..bwahaha)
-it was the year that ive learned to discover the place ive always thought ill never go to…Makati City! this could possibly mean im learning to widen my scope, get away from my comfort zone and learn to adapt to whatever situation i am in…
-time flexibility…i enjoy going to work on unlikely hours like ive tried 4am, 1am, 2:30am, 10pm and 11:30pm..the sad thing though is that time is one of the best gifts we can offer to friends and family and i am usually asleep after my shift…i would like to ask for pardon from all my friends if i was not able to text u on ur bday or forgot to keep in touch…it is a shortcoming on my end of not "spending" quality time with you…
-i got the opportunity to meet "diverse" friends (in the professional world)
- ive come to familiarize myself with the big city…i remember a story in our Filipino subject during highschool, it was entitled "Si Urbana at si Felisa"…in i way it makes me ask myself if i can be happy here in this urban world?anxiety set in before i left for makati..the bigger world seemed so cruel and i am afraid that ill get lost in all aspects of my life…but now it’s a bonus to know and be familiar with stuff ive just read in magz before…the lesson here is be adventurous and open-minded. getting lost helps a lot coz it will teach you to find your way(the hard way) and it retains more information. the jeepneys, PUBs, MRT & LRT have been my closest companions on my search and at times my feet is my only carriage…
i am still continuing my journey and i always ask for wisdom to understand the things around me and the strength and patience to deal with new "knowledge" and sane judgment to know what is right or wrong, most of all, more LOVE…
Life is full of moments. Better ones are on their way.
