Last year, I was where I was, only for the fact that it was the place that I wanted to be then. It was fun, dynamic, exciting… and it gave me a smooth transition from the life I had in LB to the new one I’ll be having in Makati.

I did enjoy most of it, even though I didn’t know where I was going. I wanted to be something, but never felt enough passion to go for it. Something didn’t feel right. Everything took too much effort from me and I know it wasn’t normal.

Because anything that I put my mind and heart into, I get. I accomplish. I have.

On my first week here in my “new place,” I have seen the flaws in the system.. dealt with personalities that clash with mine.. returned fake smiles.. cringed at pick-up lines.. argued about borrowing the single hot pack in the clinic – and I’ve never felt more comfortable, career-wise. =) My first trainer asked me on the second day what I wanted to be in the next 2 years, and without hesitation I gave him the answer. Even I was surprised. Saying it out loud, in front of 20 strangers, I realized that that was it. This is where it’s going to happen.

Of course, I had my pessimist moments, but at those times, trainers remind me (somewhat, somehow) that I can do it. That they will help me do it. And I believe them. It’s just so easy. Not that it’s not going to be difficult, but everything’s just so clear. I put in the work needed from me, and I just know everything will fall neatly into place.

6 months is a short-term goal. =)
