adjustments
- I wake up at 7:20am ( i adhere to a 10-minute "gulong period" before i actually move out of bed), take a bath, prepare breakfast, eat, get dressed and fix the modules i need for the day. Leave house before 8:30am.
- 15-20 minute jeep ride to rotonda where i have to line up for the ayala-bound fx. (lining up alone takes around 30-45 minutes on good days)
- Trip to ayala takes another 30-45 minutes depending on the c5 traffic.
All in all travel time in the morning takes an average of 1.5 to 2 hours. Going home at 8pm is a whole different story.
Anyways, I'm not all that whiny as compared to last week since i'd like to believe i'm getting used to the entire situation or maybe i'm just getting good at denial. haha. No pain, no gain though.
So I've been thinking lately.. well, more about what has happened in the last month or so and I'm surprised I don't harbor that anger that I used to feel. I'm more inclined to apathy now and it kind of scares me. I dunno.. it's funny how I used to get messages from former colleagues on a regular basis, letting me know what's been up in their lives, what is happening in the place I'd left, without me ever asking to be updated. And now that the updates are no longer, I kinda miss them. Guess I miss what I left, in general. Everything is just so different now and there are times I look for old friends, not so much physically, but at least embodied in the new faces that I see and i get sad knowing it's never going to be the same. Here, I have to start from scratch.
I have to admit that what I am doing now is harder but I also have so much reason not to give up. Where there's greater risk, there's higher (if not infinite) profitability. I don't even think of this as an obstacle. I look at myself as part of God's intricate tapestry, that which is to be weaved into something beautiful in time.

chapter 2?
I am about to start a new chapter of my life on Monday and it feels so weird that I'm still nervous about the entire thing despite the fact that I'm not even new at it at all. I just don't know what to expect since I have been living in a routine for the past few years and new people scare me. hehe. Seriously. I just have this aversion for making conversation just to befriend people who will end up not really being my friend because I'll realize we have nothing in common but was just stuck in one room too long and had to talk. Anyways, there's a lot of things that needs to be done before Monday. I have to polish on my world economics and prepare my requirements.. plus I need to buy new shoes. haha.
