Time out


Yay for an update! This is becoming a once or twice a year thing now. lol Just taking the time off from thinking about work. While I was out having breakfast, I thought about my days in the university and how I used to blog almost everyday. It was a time when writing became a passion for me. Nowadays I mostly write about finance-related for work. I have a degree in Finance but I'm not in the banking industry. But the work is still about finance. I was thinking of creating a  blog about it but then again I don't think I can keep on updating it. My personal blog alone is updated few times a year. Don't think I can commit to creating another one. Most of the time after a long day in the office, I just want to lay down my bed, watch Netflix or HBO for Game of Thrones while munching cereals. lol Sometimes I do some studying to make it more productive. My parents have been suggesting I study abroad. But honestly, I'm torn about it. The timing is perfect considering my age and work experience. Maybe in a couple more years I will be ready to give a decision. But until then, let's see how it goes. I used to hate studying because I had to attend classes I wasn't interested in but had to take because it's part of the curriculum. But now I have the desire to learn more after realizing my shortcomings. I can be annoyingly competitive so after I came to understand my lack of knowledge, it pissed me off. But I'm still tied to work and nothing's certain in the coming years. After 2 years I will probably make an update about it in this blog. Look forward to it. lol

I quit my job.


It was a hard decision but I know I did the right thing. Some were perplexed and shocked why I left the company without another job waiting for me. I know it's not the best course of action but weighing my options, it had to be done. I don't want to be filled with "what if" thoughts in the coming years so I'm taking my chances pursuing what I really want. There is nothing wrong with my working environment. I had a wonderful boss, friendly teammates, good pay, and vast opportunities in the company. A lot of people would love to be in my shoes, yet I still left. So what made me quit? I'll be honest and say I was sick and tired of what I was doing. Not a very good reason because just like any other job, work is routinary for most companies. But I realized if I'm going to do something repetitive, might as well venture in an industry that is closest to my goal and passion. So why didn't I just start in that industry in the first place? Plans change. Over the years, we will realize things we weren't considering before. The company I worked for was my first choice and saw myself working in a long period of time. It's amazing what can happen in a year. You never know when it'll hit you to close a door so another opens.
