This is an “aftermath” of my previous post…

Yeah, I admit that I am in a state of confusion last week regarding work and it really affected me for one whole week especially my work. And I have no way of releasing my feelings but to broadcast it in my blog, Twitter and Facebook accounts. I’ve been really vocal about it.

I just remember the people in our office last week whom I supposed saw that I was in a bad mood. I somehow feel guilty for showing them that kind of action and for that I am really sorry. I really didn’t mean to.

With that, I have decided to just keep quiet about what I am going through right now about my work.

I would also like to take this opportunity to say sorry to all the people I have hurt or disappointed. I am actually trying to change for the better.

I’ve been thinking a lot for the past week…

I didn’t know what happened but I just found myself in a bad mood last Saturday while I was assisting in an Excel training held in our office. It was a mixed feeling of irritation, disappointment, and laziness. Afterwards, I decided to file a two day vacation leave for the next two working days.

The day is really tireful but I still wanted to meet some friends that night as a way of releasing whatever I felt that day. Good thing that I was able to invite two friends to eat dinner and have some good time afterwards. We just caught ourselves doing something together for the first time. It was a perfect time for talking about serious and matured topics. Everyone was spontaneous. I felt that it just shows that (even though we might act childishly) we are somehow matured enough. It actually feels good and I am looking forward for another session of conversations.

I wwas still having second thoughts if I will realy go on vacation leave for two days. It was Monday morning when I finally decided to go on leave. I tried to forget about work first. And again, I tried to visit for job search sites again after updating my resume. Officially, I am now open to looking for other opportunities. This feeling just came naturally.

I keep asking myself why am I doing this. But as much as possible, I don’t want to think anything negative about my present job. As they, no job or work place is perfect. Rather, I want to think this stage in my life as a career move… or a time for growth. I suddenly thought about my future and what I want to do. I know that there is more to learn.

But sometimes, I still think if what I’m doing is right. Because leaving this job also means leaving wonderful people that I’ve been working with for the past two years. And entering a new world means another period of adjustment. I have attempted leaving my work for a lot of times already but the responsibilities that I will leave behind were the ones that stopped me. Now, I want to think of myself this time and I don’t think that I am selfish for that reason.

As I said, I have now started looking for other opportunities and I am hoping that I will find the right one soon. When it comes, that’s the time I’ll be moving forward.

The holiday season is here once again. I admit that I really love this time of the year, when everybody seems to be kind, generous,  and happy.  As years pass by, I started to not expect to receive material things. I am now more looking forward to our yearly family reunion, and Christmas get togethers with friends.

I always want my family to be complete during this season. For me I feel complete on Christmas day when my father gets the chance to celebrate Christmas in the Philippines. This year, he will be celebrating it abroad… with my sister. Yah, they are both abroad and thinking about it makes me feel sad. But still, I want to make this Christmas special.

New Year gives me hope and positive outlook for the coming 12 months. It is the time of the year when I reflect of how was the previous year, and plan of how to make the new year better.

I know that this year seems to be a sad Christmas for many Filipinos after all the calamaties that we’ve been through this year. It suddenly made me think of what is the true meaning of Christmas. Is it about filling up our homes with decorations? Is it about giving and receiving gifts? Is it about glamorous Christmas parties?

Well… partly yes. Those are actually traditions which we cannot remove among ourselves and I don’t see anything wrong with that. But if we think about it, Christmas is Jesus’ birthday. And His birthday teaches us to be kind and generous to others. There are a lot of ways to make this Christmas special if we would want to and it’s really not about spending huge amount of money.

I hope all of us will always keep in our minds our hearts the true meaning of Christmas. And I hope that this holiday season will be filled with love and happiness.

I came to think about how technology paved the way for people to express and make their names on the internet. Some personal sites or blogs can be compared to products in the market, to TV shows, etc., where they brand themselves with a logo and target a specific group of audience. Technology also paved the way for people to showcase their talents. Seeing online portfolios or galleries  makes me feel  that the people who made them really love what they are doing.But above all, I really appreciate technology for paving the way for people to express themselves to the world.
