Hey hey... a place for me to vent all my feelings and frustrations... in actual truth, i created this blog like years ago but i just started getting lazy and procrastinating and then totally forgot about this place until just recently. sigh.. procrastination.. the evil of all evils... i've become a slave of procrastination. Have been putting off things to do day after day.. somebody slap me please!!!
Feeling pretty contented with my life right now... got a job, a place to stay, good friends and of coz someone to love and to love me in return. What more could one ask for at this stage in time?
I've been working for about 2 months plus, and i've realized just how diverse people can be. And also how looks can be so deceiving. A person who looks innocent and quite can turn out to be the nastiest person ever and you wouldn't want to get on her bad side. The things that spills out from the person's mouth really makes you think twice about judging a book by its cover! But i've been discovering a lot at my workplace and it feels funny somehow to be breaking away from the friends you knew at uni and to make new friends at work. My friends from uni who are working at the same place with me are probably going through the same thing. And i think we're fitting in pretty well. Except for one. Not gonna mention any names but it seems that she didn't make quite a good impression on some of her colleagues. Heard it through the grapevine that a number of people don't quite like her. Trying to see and hear for myself if it's true but i guess people won't tell me coz i'm her friend and they probably don't want me to know. But besides that, i'm enjoying work...the place, the people, the work i actually do... all in all.. feeling pretty good about myself right now.
Even though i like work and all.. it's really hard to breaking away from the friends that i've got in uni right now. After graduation, i was feeling really lost. There was no aim in life... felt like just floating aimlessly. thank goodness for the australs. The largest 3-on-3 debating championship ever! Working in the australs committee has also made me realized shit loads of stuff:

1) If you want something done, you gotta do it yourself.
2) No point relying on others to help you even though they've said they would.
3) Not to put too much trust on someone that they will complete the tasks assigned to them.
4) Top people in the committee are mostly all talk but no action.
5) People take credit for things that they don't do and leave out those who actually worked.
6) It takes a really good leader to control the committee and to make sure everyone communicates... something we didn't really have.

And the list goes on and on... but even though i'm bitching a lot about the whole thing, i also had shitloads of fun. And it felt really good to have the participants coming up to you and saying that the MMU australs is a blast and the whole thing's really smooth and they're having fun. Nothing like good feedback from the people who matters - the participants.
It was really hard saying goodbye on the last night.. because for me, it meant finally saying goodbye to uni life and voices and all the fun that comes with it. I mean of coz we'd all still be friends.. but no more debating tournaments to go to... no more hanging out with the voices kids till late at night and just talking crap... sigh... all part of growing up i guess. Time to break away. Now i understand why people like Praba and Omar are still hanging around after so long... it just feels extremely hard to say goodbye and realise that there will be no more of all this.
Sigh, what can i say? I've had real good times with voices and i'm really glad that i joined. My life has really changed since then. From Phillipines right up to South Africa. And all the local tournaments and evil rybena. Time to say good bye and move along with my life.

Well, time to put the new phase of my life into first gear, and make sure i'm at the pole position of this mad race called life!
