Happy New Year!

Excited ako!

Excited ako para sa sarili ko sa taong ito - 2012.  Feeling ko, kakasimula pa lang ng bagong taon ko last April nung matapos ang school year.

Teaching is not really a profession that I would see myself growing old into.  In fact, nung college pa ko, iniwasan ko talaga ang Educational setting.  Pinagkasya ko ang 300 hrs ko sa Industrial at Clinical para makagraduate ako. hahaha... ang sama! Pero tingnan mo nga naman kung saan din ako bumagsak.

I became a teacher not because i wanted to teach but because out of necessity, out of need.  I resigned from my good-paying job dati just so I can help in my own little way sa music ministry ng church as well as the school ministry teaching music and serving as a pianist, musician for the church.

Maganda naman ang kinalabasan - i was able to study in a Bible school taking up an Associate Degree in Music Ministry.  I learned the violin and i was able to brush up on my piano skills.

Pero there comes a point in your life where you start to think about your future.  At my age, hindi na ako bumabata and i think its about time to start investing something for my future.  although i enjoy what i do, making music, teaching music, gusto ko rin naman makaipon.  And since its just a ministry, maliit at sapat lang talaga ang lahat ng tinatanggap ko.  Would you believe hindi alam ng dad ko kung magkano ang kinikita ko. Hahaha... he'll be outraged pag nalaman niya. :))

Anyways, i stayed for 5 years in that institution.  And i should say, teaching is really hard if you don't have the passion for it.  And apparently, wala ako nun.  And so i've decided to leave.

For the first time in 5 years, i feel so alive!  I really wanted to travel.  I want a work na kung saan, i could file a leave whenever i want, go to wherever i want, without worrying about unfinished reports, exams, grade computations, etc.


Kaya, i'm really excited.  Excited kung saang work ako matatanggap.  Excited kung saan lugar dito sa Pilipinas ako makakarating sa susunod.  Excited to see the world.  Excited for new friends, new bosses, new nature of work AT walang bata. :))

This year is going to be one hell of a roller coaster ride.

So, i'll just fasten my seatbelt and wait for my rocket to fly.

This is going to be UH-MAZING!!!
