Awkward Moments

This is really awkward. 

Right when I was all in the mindset to start work (I was even having the pre-work blues already), I suddenly got another full month on my hand. Looks like another full 4 weeks before the daily grind come about. Knowing myself, I better push my lazy ass body to do something meaningful for the month of August.

Having said that, the month of August is probably going to be exciting. Long weekends will mean more time with family and loved ones. A short trip to Malaysia perhaps? Feels like I haven't had a holiday for some time already. Right when I post a blog post about 5 things I'm going to miss after starting work, suddenly another month has been "blessed" upon me. Bless me, I better find more fulfilling things to do with the free time.

5 Things I'm Gonna Miss After Starting Work

Not working for a period of 5 months gave me a lot of time to do things that I otherwise wouldn't have the time for. As the time to being full time work comes around again, I think that I'm going to miss the little things that I had time for during this period of 5 months most. 

Here are 5 things I know I'll miss:

1. Having lunch with dad on a almost a daily basis

2. Taking afternoon naps

3. Being able to exercise in the late afternoon. Sometimes exercise becomes a luxury when work starts.

4. Sleeping past midnight

5. Waking up past 9am everyday

What Happens Next?

It's been a long, long time since I last wrote a blog post. BUT I'M BACK! 

Here I am, one full week before the start of a new job. It hasn't been easy for the last 5 months, looking in and out, applying here and there, finding something that will finally.. FINALLY.. make me feel comfortable saying "Yes, I do want to work here". Thank God for my family and gf, their support has been unwavering.

Come to think of it, I'm already past 25, going on 26. Life gets pretty scary at this stage. What's next? Career, marriage, family? I caught Paper Towns at the cinemas this weekend, and somehow that got me thinking. Is life really Birth > Education > Marriage > Retirement > Death? How can I make my life more exciting than the seemingly cliche steps/processes that we go through in life? I guess that it that's a lot of faith to commit the unknown future to God, but I pray everyday that He gives me the courage to do so.

It feels good to go back to writing, I've been putting this aside for a long time. Hey, let's hope I can keep this up :)
