A Letter to Me a Year Ago

It's been a while since I've done a blog post. I've needed that time off for a long time and it was for the best. A lot of things have happened to me over the course of more than 2 months.

Since this is my first post of 2014, I thought I'd start it with sort of a look back post on what I've done since I've graduated from college. I'm gonna do it like I'm writing a letter to the me a year ago. Here we go:

3/24/2013

Dear Me,

Congrats on graduating college! I'm writing this because I wanted to let you know how you'll be a year after you graduate. As you already know, you were hired almost a month ago. Don't be intimidated on what comes your way because just being yourself could bring out the positivity in other people.

Work's kinda like school, except that competition and teamwork are like the core focuses. You would want to be ahead of the others and also help out in the growth of the company. You will meet new people (and maybe some familiar faces too). Some of them may leave when you least expect it. Others will be your guide as you discover yourself more through your work. Just remember to always have fun in what you do.

The people close to you change from time to time due to their ever-shrinking amount of time available. Make sure that you make the most out of the time you spend together.

Never forget that family is always there whenever things go wrong in all aspects of your life. They have always been there to support you. Don't push them away.

Never be afraid to love. You may encounter a person who has loved countless times to a point that standards have already been set. You shouldn't put all the blame on her because she already knows what she wants. Just forgive and move on. Who knows? Someone migjt just be around the corner to surprise you and give all the love that you deserve.

Lastly, always say thank you to the Lord God. He is always there through your ups and downs. Never ever forget to pray to Him.

Enjoy the next chapter of your life. I know I did.

Best Regards,

Me, 1 Year Later

While In Pain...

Don't misunderstand this. I'm not hurt emotionally. I'm perfectly okay. It's just that I have this weird pain I got after undergoing a surgery that involved my wisdom tooth.

On the hour after the surgery, I felt a weird kind of pain. A pain that felt like there's a hole inside of me. I know it seems overrated but it was like something that could spread throughout my whole body. Or maybe it's just a reaction from my brain if something like that happens.

Eating really seemed hard to do since I couldn't chew properly. My jaw seemed like it was sprained which could be the reason that I could barely move my mouth. There's also this weird swelling happening inside my mouth which could be an effect of removing a tooth. All I could eat was porridge. Sigh.

The day after, I tried to ignore the pain by going to SM with family. Although I couldn't eat hard food yet, I drank cold drinks and ate a donut. Shortly after we arrived at home from the mall, I got a mild fever. It didn't last long since I felt okay the next morning, but it came back while I was working.

The reason why it happens is due to the infection of the bone that showed after the tooth has been removed. I have to take medicine for fever alongside the antibiotics so that I won't feel weak at work. I also have to lie down on a lot of pillows so that it wouldn't be painful when I sleep.

Last Thursday, I was already able to eat normally. It was a good thing too because I thought I would have to go through a whole week eating porridge. Whew! Here I am today, recovered from the pain of that surgery. The bad news is that I have to go through all this again since I have to have the wisdom tooth in the lower right. With this experience, I know now what to do and what NOT to do.

My Life Weekly..

You may have noticed that I always put pictures on top of my posts. There's a reason why I'm not doing it on this one. I wanna tell you guys something good.

I want to blog diligently. Before, I used to blog when I really feel like it and I never actually finish the post on the day that I really want it to be posted. Most of the times, they get posted during the night. Sure it's effective since most people of my age go online during the evening but I wanna share it to more people.

Of course, there are only so many things I can control, so I may post at night like I always have. But I'll make sure to post one every week just so you know that I'm really committed to blogging this way. It doesn't mean that I'll just stick to this though. I would blog about tech and special events when they pop up.

This is all I have to say for now. If you read this, thank you. ^_^

What's up with me?

Over the past few months, I've been posting about my experiences during summer, graduation, and tech stuff. I really haven't talked about one of the things I should be posting about: ME. I always thought that this should be less about me but I noticed something off and my blog lacked ME in it. This is why I decided to put up a post about how I'm doing and what I'm up to.

First off, I'm working already. It's been more than 2 months since I started but it's only 15 days ago that the real deal began. So far, I'm okay at dealing with work life and its unpredictability, though my impatience tends to get in the way sometimes. The office environment is nice despite the serious and quiet aura. You can approach people fairly easily. The office itself is one big area, there are no walls in between. Overall, I love my job and wouldn't want it any other way.

I'm not rushing things, especially with love. It's not even meant to be really thought of (except maybe the house and the family thing). I'm currently soul-searching and getting to know myself even more than I already do. I really wanna have time to learn more on mobile development. I wanna be healthier. There's so much that I wanna do right now that I almost can't sleep. Too bad I have to because of work tomorrow.

That's all for now. Don't worry, I will post more. It could even get random if I want to. Good night.
