To start the ball rolling, let me tell you a little something about myself. I am the youngest in the family. Like any family, we have several problems, dramas and issues to contend with beyond anybody’s imagination (so much so, it’s like being in a telenovela… whew!). However, surprisingly, unlike any other family, we are very close. In this life, I realize that every person has a way of dealing with problems specially those that concerns the people they love. They may opt to stay or run away.
I personally believe that in making choices, whether to stay or run away, the decisions that we make at the specific moment is never wrong. Mainly because those are the best, we can come up with, given the time and circumstance. Only history will tell whether we made the right or wrong decisions. Here is where the power of prayers will play its role.
In the almost 5 years of my career, I have already been part of three companies in the (exciting!?) world of banking and finance. Until now, I am still deliberating and asking myself. Is this really the career for me? A wise man (I do not really have any idea who in particular, because I just heard this in our team building! ehehe!) once said that a person should find a job that he is most passionate about and make sure that he will be the best in the world at it.
Frankly speaking, I do not see myself becoming passionate and best in the world at dealing with other peoples money! Still, I have to be practical. I may not be ecstatically happy with my current position (for sure, I am not alone in this area!) but that does not mean I am going to stop searching. After all, a job should not just be something that we have to do. Considering that we are investing 8 hours, even more, or our time to it everyday, it should be a vocation, a calling. In time, minus all the limitations, I know I will find that job to which I can share my heart.
Speaking of my heart, it is currently single but taken ; ) Only time will tell what will happen in this area of my life. What I am sure about is that I am happy with the person I am with right now. Our relationship is not perfect. We acknowledge that we have many shortcomings. But it’s ok, because I know that these imperfections are what makes our love for each other relatively perfect.
I love the beach but I do not want to get dark. I crave for burgers, ice cream and chocolates, time and time again, but I do not want to gain weight. I need to work out regularly but I always have a reason not to. I want to be mean sometimes specially at work but my values get in the way. I miss bonding time with my friends but do not have the time. I smile even though I feel like hitting someone. I laugh when it is more fitting to cry. I want to go to heaven but lack the discipline to pray regularly. These are only some of the paradoxes that I have to deal with everyday; they are also the aspects in my life that makes me human. Life is no fairy tale, indeed, but it’s worth the try.
