Where I Am Now?

It has been  2 months and 10 day since I got employed in the call center industry, and  a month and 7 days since I started taking up calls.

How am I right now? Am I doing fine?

If I get to answer those questions above in all honesty, I am saying 'No, I am not fine and I am not feeling well and sure about this anymore'.

This is news to me, I, being a fighter, don't just say suddenly that I am not sure about something as early as this. I usually fight until my last breath, until the end. However, if I don't get these feelings out from my system I believe I will break down. Completely.

Of English Potency and Cognition

Blogging straight from my phone since my dearest laptop is still in the pc hospital for an operation.

Yes, I am back in the blogsphere. I am out of this civilization for months after my last post since I got busy traveling out of my home country and spending my hard-earned money that I fortunately saved during my short employment with a local BPO company [that sucks big time].

I'll save my out-of-the-country trips some other time. The reason I am back here is that I need to practice thinking in English.

The Facade and The Reverse

No one has ever seen the tears behind the smiles.

No one has ever been there to console nor to condone.

No one has... and no one will.

...

I want to do something, something that is not normal; something that I want to do because I love it; something that I want to share to the world.

Why can't people understand that I am not all about the licenses, the paper works, and the numbers.

I am meant for something.

And that is something I want to work out on.

First Major Heartbreak of 2015

This is my first major heartbreak of 2015.

No, I am not in-love.

Just when I thought I was getting back in the game, I got a red card all of a sudden.

No warning whistle, no yellow card; just straight red card and I am out of the game.

My First Blog after Seven Months Hehe

After a hiatus of almost 7 months, I am back!

I just got so busy with work and life in general that I wasn't able to blog anything about them.

I still got pending blog posts to which I haven't started typing them... YET!

And as I wait for the time for my departure to Bacolod for the annual birthday trip [because birthdays are better celebrated with oneself, anway], I thought of visiting this blog of mine and wake it up temporarily from its slumber.

I will still post everything that happened to me last year, from my Japan, Davao, and Korea trips, cosplay and otaku-related events [hint: that one big event happened last August 2014], down to the very reason why I got separated from my ever-loving employer last October.

For now, these words would suffice. I better get some rest before the roosters start doing their jobs sometime soon!

Let's Continue Rowing and Living in this Adventure Called Life

I just read about the tragic incident that happened to one CDO tourist during her white river rafting adventure. It was a big news since yesterday since it was a first fatal incident since the city opened the rafting business in 1995.

Here a brief summary: Aizza Balbin, a nurse from Bohol, went missing when their raft capsized in one of the turbulent waters of the Cagayan River near one big boulder. Her companions, the Raft instructor, and guide were able to swim to safety yet she was not able to do so. Search-and-Rescue operations were held by the rafting company and the LGU but due to weather conditions they were not able to locate her ahead.

Awhile ago, I read that she was found, unfortunately dead already, just beneath the big boulder near where they capsized. She still had her lifevest yet she got stuck in the deep portion of the boulder due to the current. My prayers are with her and her family.

That moment when I thought I was going down
yet I held on and someone held me too

I was deeply saddened by this. I was just there in CDO last year and we also did the same trip. I was lucky enough not to undergo such incident when we went there last year despite the many attempts of me being overthrown from the raft. Then I suddenly thought of this: will I die while being away from my family? Will I die doing the things that I love? Will people remember me as someone who did this and that or will they recall with my death only?

As someone who travels a lot I admit I suddenly felt scared having those thoughts in my mind but I guess this is human nature: we get courageous on some things and get scared on the other.

One thing is for sure: I won't be stopped travelling either with someone or on my own. I should start thinking about safety too. Life is one big adveture that I couldn't stop enjoying after all.
