Birthday Sadness

The first time in my life I felt so alone was my 26th birthday.

I used to spend my birthday, in fact, from the eve of my birthday with my family. Yet, now, I am too far to be with them physically. I am now sitting on my office chair and tip tapping on my laptop.

I just thank the Lord for another healthy year, I wanted to focus on all positive areas of my life, but this thing going on for the rest of the day makes me feel so sick. so unfocused. Today isn't extra ordinary, my birthday is just like the days of the past. unfocused, sad, unhopeful. It is the irony of life after all. I guess, what is important is that, I gained a year, more wise and more smart.

It's just that, though God just sent me a message this morning, he knows how I wanted to spend my day giving glory to him. just like how I dreamed of it.

It's just birthday sadness,... it will come to pass anyway..

*but still, i thank the Lord for one great year.. and a wonderful family as part of the package.

one step backwards

Today is somewhat weird for me, i woke up so refreshed then all of a sudden i feel so gloomy and tired. Just a few hours ago, I was eating with my better half while his phone keeps on ringing. I understand that there are matters that you really need to attend to. Yet, I realized that there are matters that you have to take slowly.. like eating.

Yes.. eating! because, well aside from the scientific explanation that it is always best to chew our food slowly so that our body would be able to digest our food, I believe that the best moment to share talks with your family is during meals. I just feel so sad that there are pressing matters that we don't want to avoid during meal times, but we always have a choice.

one step ahead or backwards?

Bits and Bytes

Yesterday, I was in a room full of IT people, I am talking about really brilliant people who will change the world, well in fact, who are changing the world.. NOW.

I never thought that there are platforms ever innovated and invented meant to change systems, lifestyle or even the platforms on making our lives even paperless. Platforms meant to interface with other systems to make our lives even better.

Our team was invited to present our brands, I was a little nervous because I am not 100% IT, but at least I understand how systems work. Also, I was the youngest in the room, explaining an IT curriculum as if I was the one who developed it. It was amazing because, I see the potential of this field as I relate it to my career as a Marketing/Sales Person.

I was sitting in front, same seats as the other presenters, the VPs and CEOs.. and suddenly I realized that this is want I want, pursue a career in marketing/sales involving IT.

With information technology, there could be glitches, but IT can make things work through bits and bytes...
