Except for the brochure (since I have been doing photo lay-outing for quite some time), I have been doing stuff that I haven't done professionally before. I can do anything, I know that. But I never felt obliged doing things in the past. For me, it's all play, trial and error, or better yet ask help from anyone who knows better. I was all right with that. I was all right with anything. No one is depending on me nor expecting too much from me. I had ample time to work on things. But I guess pressure is what I need right now to make the gem inside me shine. "What's your plan?" my trainer asked me when we had our fingerprints taken last week. His plan is that he'd stay here in the U.S. for a while and see how things are. "I don't know," was all I said. I'll just do what I can do here and see where the road takes me, I wanted to tell him that but kept it to myself. "You have the potential to go big time, you know that?" he said. He's been trying to read me lately. Typical teacher. Observing. Even waiting for my reaction on things. He wanted to know how I'd swear when pushed to the edge. "Anak ng..." he's heard me one time, followed by a chuckle. Now, that's not counted. "I don't know about that nor I feel that way," I continued, "I honestly couldn't see where I am heading to lately," I kidded around. Again, I wanted to tell him that I am just doing the best that I can on any task given to me. If it brings success then I'll be happy about it. If not, shame on me. I don't care if I am not earning anything right now. I am just happy that I am back to the real world, commuting to and from the office, working and learning at the same time. I like everything that I am doing lately. The technical training, the brochure-making, and last night I did a flow-chart. Not sure if I got it right though based on the requirements. (Thanks to Kuya Rey for guiding me through it-- the last time I did one is in college, uhh.. some 10 years ago?). You see, it's all an adventure for me. And like this flow chart that I did, with all the inputs and resources that I can grab, in the end will come out a good product-- a better ME. After more than five months of being brain-dead, I am being rehabilitated now. (Lord, keep the love and support comin'). It's Sunday night here in my base-camp. Weekend is over. Time to pack again. Tomorrow, Ate Roda will drop me off to Metuchen for my train ride going to Jersey City. I'm staying in NY for the whole week again and at East Brunswick probably on Friday night. "You're so blessed. A lot of people are taking you in," Ate F said on the phone. I am. And I feel grateful. To rephrase some lyrics of a song, Life isn't always good but God is great. Always. Have a blessed week, people! |
