Tig-sulat pud baya ko…

I always dream that someday this would be my job:

I live in a hotel for a week or two. Travel by land, sea, and air. Doing lectures on archeological sciences.

That was 15 years ago.

Now here I am, 21 years of age and fresh from the academic cage. What am I up to? Well, the work I am in brings me to places awfully lot. I travel and stay in hotels but not for archeology’s sake.  I am in the final week of my my work training with a handful of logbooks and manuals to pore on at night. Add to that the learning discussion notes I have to encode and process into a journal that would reflect action points, insights, recommendations… (actually I am doing this silly article while trying to gratify myself with a break off from such task.) So anyway, I do a lot of these things because in the business world, we are to move faster than those on the same track–and it is a fast fast fast lane.

Whew…I am not tired, I am not stressed.  I am just overwhelmed at the job. Suddenly, when you see the pile of work left undone by your predecessor and the competencies you have, you would feel you are small. 

I love challenges and now, I have lots of them.

I was taught that I should keep a balance of supply, demand, information, and relationship to be able to really show that I am here for service and development–customer development, that is…not for the money…or for the title…or for the benefits…or for the other nifty things that makes life in this job pleasurable…after all, this is a calling to SERVE. Standard answer na ba yan? Oh, World peace!!!

I gave up the decision to pursue further studies because I want to experience the "real world" <cliche> but whoa, it seems like school again… At least, my cognitive faculties are working…and I’ve learned to love my work.

The team that I am a part of is a melange of eclectic individuals–young, dynamic, fun! I learned a lot from them as well.

I am on the track of building up a good body–the looks? ummm, spare the size, I don’t have much of working to do. Hehehe.

I miss a lot of people–family, friends…my girlfriend. But work requires me to be away from them often so I think I have to live with that…

I just realized I am writing without any concern for coherence and systematic presentation of what I want to convey to you, dear reader…But who cares? My mind’s whacked now…so is my writing.

Hehehe.

Life is so good because God is good…
