After a long long long long long time...

Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!

After a year of hiatus from writing, have decided that it's high time to blog again. Of course, I did have those once in a blue moon brain farts where one attempts to express your thoughts into literary pieces but I just end up deleting them. Why? I guess they just were just the same things from what I previously wrote. Yes, all that angry, depressing, disturbing self righteous things that I wrote. (not going to tell you the link cause I've hidden them all except for my LJ account)

Well, `nuff about introductions. A lot has happened in my life in the past years. I guess a run thru would be appropriate:

Graduated University. Reviewed for the board exams. Failed. Reviewed again. Finally passed. Went Job hunting. Got my first job. Resigned after a month. Eventually found another job and been working there ever since.

I got to meet a lot of people. Some around my age group, some younger, some older. I always thought that the professional world would be a lot more different from what I've grown accustomed to. Truth is, the setting may have changed but the rules are still the same. It's a battle of how well you use your 'smarts' aka brain/wit/intelligence/mind and also how well you interact with the people around you. No matter where you go, you'll always meet people who think they're smarter than you, who think that you're smarter, and those who think you're just another nameless face in an endless sea of people aka ordinary. It's actually how you show them that their perception of you is wrong or right. And it's a plus if you genuinely like your job, then you'd be sure to show your real potential. And you can actually say "wuzaah! in your face!" hehe

On a retrospective note (cause I always try to reminisce in my blogs), I always wished that I would just be one of those nameless faces in a crowd. Growing up I always was under the constant pressure of excelling in things especially in my academics, always competing, always having attention, always under scrutiny. Eventually I did get my wish, I did get to be part of the crowd. But then I realized that I just didn't want to be part of the crowd, I wanted to stand out! I wanted it to be just like the way it was before but by that time I was already just another nameless face, because at that time there were others a lot better than I was. Talk about not knowing what one really wants... :P Imagine that dilemma. And every time I tried hard, it seems that it just wasn't enough. Still isn't enough to get what I wanted. But during those days, I didn't know what I exactly wanted, so how could I actually know if it really was enough?

Now? let's just say I'm inching my way onto getting what I want. I am getting there. And this time I really know what I want. It's like everything is slowly falling into place, one by one. It's not really bad once you get used to the world and all it's quirks. Getting mad would only get you nowhere. Heh, I sound like a preacher. But don't get me wrong, I'm still cynical but I guess I have mellowed down a bit.

Also, It's about time for me to just go back to writing. I've re-read my previous journals. And believe me, they really weren't that pretty of a picture of life. Most of them, rants, peeves and of course my long time depression, my obsessions (",). I guess most people would actually find this blog boring, because they wouldn't get any juicy out of it. haha!

And with this I end my first official entry to a new blog. I do hope I will get to maintain this one!
