It Never Gets Old

(August post)

It never gets old. The feeling of excitement and anticipation as I go through, yet again, my very first day at work. What would the people be like? What team will I be assigned? What is the aura of the office? What...what... and more what.  

May 2004. I was just 6 months fresh from college and my very first fulltime job. I was very nervous because I always thought I am the least desirable of all the graduates. I am not the brightest student, Im not proud to say but just stating a fact. My concern back then was if my knowledge and skills are enough. I stayed there for 4 years, my longest employment yet. 

April 2008. One of the most exciting days of my life. Im literally in a new place, Metro Manila, living on my own for the first time. In hindsight, I've learned a lot both in computer programming skills and in real life in a short almost a year of staying there. 

June 2009. Back in Cebu and in my mind was that this is a place where I can still earn and continue with my studies (education teacher). About a year after, I was axed because the company ended its operation. 

August 2010. I consider this as my reentry into the software developer world. Because of a friend's help I got in and in a way reinvigorated me to pursue and be back on track with what I do best, code. Two years is long enough for me to find a new nest. 

August 2012. The start of something new but familiar. Even though this time Im in a new place, Quezon City, I've experienced this before and it feels not that lonely compared to the first time. 

This is the 5th time to start over, I just hope that I will learn something worthwhile here and making the best of my time and talent. 

 To the future! More exciting days ahead.
