It's painful to admit that I am lost. But I am, I honestly am. It has been a good year so far, but recent circumstances have been testing my patience and passion for what 'I've always wanted to do'. Two years ago, I was this vibrant, college senior who was ready to take the world by storm. I'd move mountains to be where I am now. Heck, I was ' ( Read more... )

There's one thing I'm absolutely excited about, and it's not even for me.

I know that as long as I keep working, believing, and praying, it will happen. I know, because I will make it happen.

It's something very close to my heart, and for people nothing (and no one) in the world will ever replace.

God, let's do this! :)

Today is the day I say good bye and it isn't painful. Not at all.

And yes, I became stronger and better after all that.

I'm just relieved that the storm is finally over. My first year after college was just both a "Yay!" and a "Nay!" on so many levels.

The four days I have to rest before my first day at Saatchi will be dedicated to cooking and ( Read more... )

What does a self-confessed work junkie do on a long weekend, when she finally decides that her work laptop stays in the office and that emails will not be answered until Tuesday?

At this point I should feel a sheer stroke of freedom.

Unfortunately, I'm beginning to feel that I'm being pulled down by forces beyond my control. There's a voice inside my head that keeps screaming for some sort of mutiny, but I can't. It is not who I am.

But then again, who am I, really?

Have I been someone who just swam with the current, and ( Read more... )

I got a phone call today. It was one of those choppy, I-can't-hear-you ones and it was with someone from an unknown line.

But that phone call meant something. And tomorrow we'll find out if the reason behind it is for me.

Wish me luck.

Today, we drove around our old neighborhood - not far from home but forever close to my heart. I felt like I was hugged by a rainbow as memories of my childhood did an instant replay inside my head. Those years spent falling off a bike, swimming in inflatable pools, enjoying afternoon siestas, and falling down the stairs from my own stupidity ( Read more... )

Hidden thoughts are better kept here.

Lately I've been having very random reflections about life in general, and how mine's going to be. Until I get that job, there remains disquiet.

What an amateur. I know, right.

It's been a little over a week.

Let's see how this goes.

I'm trying not to think about it, though.

Pretty difficult at this time of the day ( Read more... )
