My Journey Has Begun

When a door closes, then create a new one.

Approximately two years ago, I am saddened for the fact that I am leaving the company I used to work with and I am definitely uncertain as to what the future brings. That was also the time when I am in a middle of life stormy days.

Until one day I realized I am now part of a company with the work totally new. I just keep moving forward putting all the worries behind me and started planning my possible career path with them.

As months go by... I am slowly gaining my confidence back... I knew it would take time but I was wrong its coming back faster than I've ever imagined. I am very much thankful for the managers in the floor who were so supportive in many ways...

My Journey with SYF has begun a year ago from today and SYF has slowly bringing back the things I have lost along the way. I have found my passion with what I do, the confidence and self worth, the positivity that is natural to me.

Let me continue sailing on this 2017.

COMPANY KICKOFF PARTY #ULTRATH2017

The company whom I am now connected just had the company kickoff party for 2017. Usually its yearend party for most, but a kickoff party is a new one for me.

Everytime there's this kind of event, event organizer usually would come up with a theme. This year they had a KULTURA PALOOZA. Well I interpretted it as a bohemian costume.

In recent years, everytime theres a company activity where it has its own theme, I see to it that when I join I will come up with my own interpretation about it and make sure I always conform with what the theme is all about. I dont wanna go againts the theme as I dont wanna grab so much attention.

It is inportant for me to join such activity because this would be the time that I can loosen up a bit and just be myself. This infact is the best time for me to at expand my horrizon within the company. A perfect time to chit chat and introduce myself to the bosses and to other people within the organization and to learn what they do within their team or the nature of job they do. This is also the easiest way to build and jump start your network within the organization.

So next time you join a corporate event such as a kickoff party, dont limit yourself within your team... go and talk to other people who are from other department or the bosses for that matter.

Here are my favorite photos during the said occasion.

New Years Resolution

Its this time of the year again when some list down all the things they wanna change and make it their personal New Years Resolution. Some even make sure they have it written down somewhere they could see.

However, writing a new years resolution somehow is written in someone elses journal or some collage it. Today, the emergence of social media, new years resolution is now publicly shared in someone elses facebook, twitter, instagram and in blogspot and wordpress. With the emergence of this microblogging site, one gets an easy access as to what their virtual friends are for the next year.

Then I asked myself, what is my New Years Resolution. I often heard, New Years Resolution are simply showing off... very vey few keeps what they promise... is it? I dont know... I never somehow wrote a news years resolution. I am not a fan of promises. I simply do what I wanna do.

Looking back at my 2016, it wasnt that flambouyant as I wanted it to be. The start of 2016 is tremendously stressful. I got robbed several times and definitely lost thousands of pesos in savings. Got flanked in many everything I do. 2016 is simply as chaotic as a severe storm as it is. However, after the storm at the later part of 2016, a rainbow simply starts to show up.

I happen to manage to have people who are supportive and definitely see that there could be something in me that I thought I lost some five years a back. I somehow started to gain back a little of my shattered confidence.

So, this 2017 is simply a continuation of what I have planned after college. Sailing through with humbleness in the heart and an iron like disposition in life and at work. I wouldnt know what the year could bring. I just have to trust that God has something in there. Enough with the small objective I wanna aim for bigger picture. Hopefully by next year I am quite different from today.

Sail with me this 2017. Be my guard to remind me if my foot has flown up the ground. Let us write our story for this year with confidence and a clean heart.
