It's always exciting to finally be able to take that next huge leap in your career. All the hard work you've put in is actually turning out to pay off.
In the process though...I can sense that I might have to start shedding some comfort here and there. Not to say that I won't be working as hard but I can tell that things are going to be a lot different. Perhaps more strict. I wonder if my companionships will be the same as they were previously. I wonder if people will doubt my skills and intelligence due to my age.
I wonder about a lot of things...
But for now, I'm going to try to stand my ground and show them what I've got.
Oh, and it is now my birthday...yay for being old!! lol
Cooler Than Me

Ever hear one of those songs for the first time and then almost instantly become addicted to it?
So. Damn. Addicted.
Why is it so catchy???
you got designer shades,
just to hide your face and
you wear them around like,
you're cooler than me.
and you never say hey,
or remember my name.
its probably cuz, you think you're cooler than me. ♪

Expectations

I have a question. A very pressing one, for that matter.
Is it expected that when the eldest child becomes an adult and financially independent, he or she is to take care of the parents? Don't get me wrong, I love my parents and I know that they have given me a lot to help me get this far...and I would be more than happy to give back to them. However, lately I've been feeling a little guilt-tripped for making the move out here in order to pursue my career.
Back home, there weren't a lot of opportunities in the field I'm interested in and where I am now is basically the heart of the industry. But every time I mention my intentions of staying here longer to continue my professional growth, I get the impression that they had only expected this to be a "temporary" thing. I understand that they may miss me and I do miss them as well...but is it really a bad thing that I made the move here? Am I neglecting my responsibilities of taking care of them and giving back now that I am working? I feel like I can do that for them...but only to a certain extent. I don't know if I would be willing to sacrifice my career. Does that make me an irresponsible daughter?
I see friends around me who actually have given up going to their dream school or job in order to stay with their parents, and that is why I question if it is an expectation...or if they are just more kind-hearted than I am. =/
I just hope that one day I'll be able to find that right balance...

Today was a complete whirlwind.
Started my day off with some great news, followed by friends setting up dinner dates/outings throughout the week (yay!)...and then all coming to a crashing halt towards the end of the day. Sometimes it's amazing how one seemingly little event can overshadow everything else. Just like that.
It's not like I even tried to focus on that one event. It was just like a slap in the face. ...that stung for the rest of the day.
Hoping I'll wake up feeling brighter tomorrow morning...

Since my Casio refuses to take any picture without making them grainy or completely overexposed, I went out and bought this baby yesterday on a whim. I admit I was drawn to its aesthetics...but it's pretty decent for a basic point and shoot and it was just over $100! :)
Another pink item to add to my collection. :D
