What's up?

Whenever I revisit my blog, it's usually me feeling hopeless, thinking about leaving my job, or just really bored. Currently it's a big check for all three. Lol.

I think I posted 2 years ago about a probability of studying abroad and that I'll make a decision a few years after. Well here's that decision. Not going. Haha! I realized I should focus on what I really want and start working on it now. Also, with the pandemic going on, it's difficult to travel, not to mention the cost. So why am I mentioning this and what's the connect with the first sentence of this blog post? To work on what I really want, I'll have to resign from my current job. I'm working at a really good company and it will be quite a sacrifice. And talking about my job, I'm starting to feel hopeless because almost all of my colleagues have been promoted so I'm feeling kind of left behind. Well I did get a promotion 2.5 years ago but considering the next level positions are taken and it's unlikely for anyone to leave, it will take a while to move up the ladder. I have the option to change department or leave the company. And to be honest, I'm more inclined to do the latter. I still have a few months to decide. Why a few months? I'm waiting for the bonus payout to enter my account first. Lol.

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
