Summary Dekada

It dawned on me while walking one fine afternoon that another chapter of my life is about to close and another is springing to begin. Call it the big 3-0 excitement though that is still months away from now. Maybe it is time to reflect on the things I did during this decade of my life.

To start, when I was 20, I was still in college. Struggling to graduate compsci. Listing all my adventures during college deserves another lenghty entry, so I will just skip to 21 when I graduated and had my first job.

For the nearly 4 years up to when I was 25 I worked in Epson, working as a programmer - one of my best learning time and I may dare say the peak of my career. Tasted love and things that comes with it. Grown up a lot and learned about the complexities of life and the consequences of the choices I made. A lot of things on almost all facets of life I've learned at this point. Met people that will become a part of my life for years to come.

I enrolled myself back to school but this time to an entirely different field -teaching. I flew to Manila to try living independently. I spent an entire year, and at 26 yrs old gone totally independent. Got my teacher's license and went back to Cebu to try this new field, unfortunately it did not worked out well as I planned it.

27 year old me saw the world in a recession. Got stucked in a job that did not really improved my skills. They say that life is like a wheel, there are ups and downs and looking at it in retrospect, that was one of my lowest point. Got axed from my job because the company closed.

A ray of light shown its streak when I was 28, I got a job that put me back on track to where my heart should, and is continuing to be where my heart is. This is the point where I got to pull myself back and slowly got to be truly matured and grownup.

Then I hit the last year of being 20, and I want to start a new beginning. There are still many things in life I want to experience, accomplish, see. Life has to be lived. It is easy to be alive, you just have to eat, sleep, breathe. It is harder to live life because you got to make choices and be there experiencing the world.

If there is one thing that I will never trade for anything is meeting the people I knew that one way or the other influenced me, taught me, became a friend, see other aspects of life being lived that is totally opposite to mine, - there are too many to name.

To all the people I met in college, Epson, Ideyatech, Playtech, CTU DPE, CTU SpEd, CTU Early Childhood, NCR and to the friends of my friends whom I've met in outings - a big thank you. You and sometimes I myself doesnt know it but certainly everyone I met has made a dent in my life.

This is not definitely a goodbye, but a reminder to myself that the next decade of my life should be lived to the fullest because time cannot be paused or rewinded, it only goes on without waiting for anyone's approval.

So a note to myself is to keep hoping, dreaming and living ! To the next chapter...!!!
