The Path That I Take

I am finally back online.

After so many weeks of seemingly endless work, the load has slowly become manageable albeit it would mean I need to sleep less just to keep up1.

I would rather not go into the details of what has happened lately because everything happened so fast and all I could say when I look at the calendar is:

“It’s just March?!?”2

Why do I have to work so hard when I already have a stable day job you ask? I have a personal goal, a challenge if you will, that within the year, I will be able to do what I really love doing– and get compensated for it.

Since the New Year’s eve, I have been taking steps investing for this goal. Mentally, physically and emotionally. I have never worked harder in my life than what I am doing now. It is only now that I realize that if you really want it that bad, you have to work hard for it, and sacrifices will indeed be made3.

This first quarter has been filled with life-changing choices, and they are tough choices. Trusting people is a risky business, but I am willing to because of it.4

I’ve spent more these past few weeks than I have done any other time. I may feel guilty of the money that could’ve been spent on other things, but I try to put in mind that everything I do is an investment. Doubts may cloud my mind, but there is no room for that so I push them away.

I apologize for that long monologue. Anyway for a brief list of highlights that happened during the first quarter:

  • Sugoi Stuff is online. A blogzine with friends with the Phil-Jap culture in mind
  • A secret project that could make or break me.
  • Finally finished a friend’s online portfolio. Paulo Romualdez Vinluan, you should’ve told me sooner you were going to New York! smiley
  • Practice, practice, practice.

There, a busy busy life. And I’ve never felt better. And what makes it special are people are supporting me. And that makes it all worthwhile.


  1. But it seems my body is getting used to it by now ↩
  2. This reasoning is probably one of the reasons I haven’t finished anything from my To-do list for the first quarter ↩
  3. And if you were like me, who have been sheltered most of her life, you’ll understand how hard this is for me. But I am going for it. ↩
  4. I still hope though that I don’t get burned, but with a recent trauma, I only trust the people I know I really can trust. ↩
