Missing Mom

I’ve never spoken much about Mom in public since she passed away last May this year. For one, I believe that I was still at the stage of denial. Maybe. Well, that was what I thought.

Now? Again, maybe I haven’t moved on yet. I haven’t found my closure.

Although Mom lived life the fullest, however short, I on the other hand hang on with regrets, guilt, and frustrations. I want to turn back times. I wish I could have done more, and sacrifice my personal agenda with hers.

My Second Dip into the Freelancing World

As I have mentioned in a previous post, I went back to my corporate life. I thought I missed it, but it was actually more of a necessity than a want. No regrets.

One of the major wake-up calls was the office politics, yeah; I must admit that while I know my way around, I get lost more often. I lose my temper, my focus, and even my sense of decency.

This is not to say that these are my final words, but I believe that I was really meant to work as a Freelance Consultant. More than sixteen years of corporate life were just meant to prepare me, mold me for what I am really meant to pursue in my career. Make a difference, as they say. I will. In my own way, I will.

2011 – Moving Forward

I went back to corporate ‘rigging’ in 2009 till 2010 –nothing has changed. That is in so far as my expectations and how the way things are in that work environment. I changed though, in many ways.

For one, I learned that while you cannot please everybody, there are those who will value you for what you are and not for what you can give. This means, true respect, admiration from other and friendship.

When Quitting is the Only Choice

“When things go wrong as they sometimes (or aptly, more often) will…rest if you must, but don’t you quit!”

The phrase kept reverberating in my head. Nagging.

I’m no quitter, although on a few occasions I did. Serious reasons, of course. Whilst it never occurred to me that I’ll pass that road again, and I have to quit.

Now, hear me.
