Hello people of the blogsphere, which I have no idea if anyone reads this, and welcome to this mini update about 13 years later. For starters this page is 21 years old now, older than the age of my first post (way back 2005) and 2 decades in existence that emerged from the trying times of the Internet; think of dial-up net source, YouTube was still new and no influencers or Instagram in sight.
I had the chance to re-read my entries before posting, just wanted to know what I was like and missing the nostalgia. It is true that once you reach your 30s, all the things that kept who you were younger will be as enticing to revisit or to perform again. Blogging was definitely my escape from my troubles of youth. I treated it as a diary, a hobby, a way to practice writing like storytelling and not something that you can monetize on. It made me sane for most part since social media was different unlike now.
So yeah, here's to some 5 random updates about myself: (typing this thru phone and would never dream of it!)
> currently 37, unmarried and no kids; does it bothers me? yes and no but I have come to accept that my purpose would be taking care of children as a form of service. I am open but I dunno, just going with the flow on what life will bring
> stopped posting here coz life happened and yes my late 20s to early 30s were a whirlwind of ups and downs, all beautiful memories regardless how ugly or bad it was, they made me who I am now
> lost some relationships with people that I posted about or with on this blog both high school and college. Just accepted that there are certain relationships that are just chapters of your life, not from finish to end.
> learned a lot about myself thru work, family and friends that are still here. Haven't tried taking the NCLEX again (took it last 2011) nor working abroad as nurse as originally planned. I work in corporate now since 2016 thru a medical device company and honed my skills on how to deal with different types of people. And yes I still have no idea which way to go but my doors are still open to work at a hospital or an office set up that is related to my profession. Climbing up a managerial post is not my cup of tea but somehow it naturally found it's way on my work desk
> all the guy crushes I mentioned on this blog are now married and have kids hahahahaha. I do have them as acquaintances and it's funny on how the emotions and mental stress it took me to understand before reaching 25 years old. I guess it's part of life. Somehow reading my college flutters are funny now since it took me a while to remember the names and faces on the codenames being used. My preferences may have changed but I still love food, the color gray, music and writing.
Lastly, I am not angry about the world anymore. I have a good relationship with family, I tend to voice out more and understand their views once I got older. I just stick to what matters, being considerate and kind to others, having integrity especially at work and maintaining my inner peace.
This soul is STILL wandering and yes I am getting old. Some questions were answered but newer questions emerged as well so it's a never ending cycle. I hope I could still witness all and be able to share it here then.
