Entering A New Season

I suddenly found myself taking a different route. All that has happened (and is happening, as of this writing) seemed to have conspired to totally open an all-new season in my life. While some are planned, most events transpired without even the slightest hint -- in fact all are too drastic that I can't even keep up and I just had to let it slide.

The moments are too unprecedented and I just realized I am in a story arc that's bound to end yet another chapter. It's season finale indeed. But as much as I hate to create a big deal out of these moments, I know they had to matter. After all, the outcome may either build or destroy my character.

While I don't intend to shed my whole life to the world, these series of posts are meant to record the emotion and thoughts that I know I can sentimentally value, gushing on that crazy, zealous idea that I can surreptitiously inspire others.

Bringing back the habit: Traveling

Passport received! This is the sign. I should be hitting the road (and air) anytime soon. It pays to drag yourself and finally fulfill a dream!

Main goal no. 2 for the year down!

Random Thoughts: Travel Dreams

I am thinking of giving up my job and just travel for a living. Am I in my right mind? 2011 has kept me thinking after the much stressful corporate drama I had to go through (no details, sorry). But one thing is for sure -- I miss traveling! My best of friends from college made me realize there's more to life than a successful career. Indeed, despite the achievements, I don't feel I am fulfilling my thirst for real "fulfillment."

I have been reading travel blogs and it's an amazement for me that these folks can still find time to bust out of the city and enter new worlds when I can't even squeeze in a time to update this blog!

I originally planned to travel in Malaysia this summer and as usual I am rescheduling it. I still have that notion that traveling requires extensive budgetting, on which I have allotted for my much-dreamed condominium. My broker said I am getting it this June (hopefully). After that, maybe I can go back to traveling, rethink of my options and finally become my real old self again.

Or do I really want to become my old self again? I really don't know. That's why this is also labeled under "random thoughts."

Bringing back the habit: Writing

It’s about time that I go back into writing. I need a venue to release my thoughts. It’s been months that I am unable to sleep peacefully. If you are working at night, I believe you can relate to me. I was told by one of my agents that probably the reason I can’t sleep is because I tend to think of a lot of things (This is of course on top of the fact that sun’s rising and by normal state of body clock I should be awake). Well, true enough as I feel like I would sometimes get crazy thinking of a lot of life issues – how can I do a better job, what if I am working on a different company, what if I was born in a complete family, why can’t I still get a girlfriend, can God still forgive me for all my sins, and, yes, I would usually come to the point of asking what is my purpose here on Earth. Absurd? I don’t know, and I don’t think I am the only person who’s undergoing or has undergone similar dilemma. (I hope!). In any case, I just think I’ll be better if I write about it.

Sayang naman kasi Journalism graduate ako. While I can still practice my knowledge in my current job, it’s still different when you get to write every now and then. And so here it is – I am creating my blog seriously for the first time. There’s just one thing, though, that I am thinking while writing this – can I actually keep it?
