I’ve been working on something new lately… and I’m
trying like hell to give it everything I can literally give.

I’m into something I’ve been dreaming to since the
day my mind can conceive thoughts. And
now I’m here… its not as easy at it looks. I’ve suffered endless frustrations and unlimited stress. I’ve undergone
countless emotional breakdowns that you wouldn’t even imagine… and now I’m
here…

And everything
is so frustrating…

I thought it will all end here. This part is supposed
to be my finish line, then comes the CBB accompanied by a melodramatic scoring!

But yet the film is
still rolling… WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?

What am I supposed to do now? Where should I go?

I was supposed to stop here!
It was supposed to end here!
Everything should end here
now!

I should be waving my colors now…

Where should I go?  Should I go straight?

Should I follow my supposed winning finish line?

Should I make another path?

Now?

Seriously?

This part wasn’t on the plan… I really don’t know the
next chapter.

I’m starting something… just something…

Lets just put it this way…

I’ve gone this far and it will take one hell of that
“something” to stop me from getting my
new flag!

23 years of me 

I wrote the above blog days before my college graduation. It was when I realized that life doesn't end after school. I was shocked. I cant believe what was happening then. I was forcefully thrown in the jungle, where I was at the bottom of the food chain. I was the plankton, I was the worm, I was the decaying meat. 

It the last 2 years outside the academe, I learned things the hard way... I needed to struggle in an industry where people might eat you alive if you missed a little of their instructions. I needed to prove to them that I too can learn and be a part of the system. And in order to prove myself, I worked twice as everyone should. That's the pain you get when you want to prove your worth. 

I am very sad to say that I have changed... In the course of two years, I sometimes forget ideals, I learned to exchange them with realities. Which is how people in my industry does. So you see, it's very hard to work in an industry or in a system if you are running by/on a different network. One will get lost that way. 

On my birthday last week I had the time to think how my life had changed. Some are good, but there are also those I regret. Those that I considered "good" I thank God for them. But those that I regret and whereas time forbids me to change, I honestly did a review on what happened, how it happened, and why I let them happened. And realized that I could have drive them the way I wanted to have I given them the right value. 

23 years of my life and what can I honestly say I've learned? I have learned to value things with the right scale. Those that in years to come will be worthless I do not give much. But to those in the span of years will still be a part of me, I value them the most. 

I realized that I should plan for the future but most importantly I should enjoy today. So that when the future comes, I may say that am proud of the past. There will always be a future, but the present will linger once.
