I've always known that i am the farthest from being the techie type. I love electronic gadgets but over the years, i've come to the conclusion that they absolutely loathe me. Despite that, i just have come to realized just how ridiculously clueless i am when it comes to creating websites. why can't they be simple? I am in over my head. I'm pretty sure some of you are probably shaking your heads in disbelief (this site looks simple enough) and probably think i'm an idiot for admitting that i am super confused as to how to navigate this site. I suppose i should give it a little more time to get used to, i hope it won't take too long till i am able to adjust to this. Is it me or this site is relatively quiet? does anyone know the actual total number of members this site has? Not that i'm complaining, i love little web hideaways... just curious i suppose. maybe i've found my very own anti-myspace site.. Yay. |

For the last couple of days, I have found myself pondering what it would be like if i were to decide to start over in a new firm, to work in a different environment. I was thinking something in PR. I've always had a knack for planning events, whether it's a dinner party or a corporate event. I know for a fact that there is a great PR firm who currently has a wonderful position vacant..I want to make a move but at the same time, I’m not too sure if that will be the right thing to do. i have pretty much a lot of ideas for my future and i seem to be indecisive these days.. One of the reasons that stop me from bolting out and taking that leap of faith is my boss. He had been such a great boss and he has so much faith in me that it makes it that much harder for me to leave the firm. I feel as if I’m betraying him, I would feel an immense guilt if I go through with it, but at the same time, though I am grateful for all the trust that he had given me, I feel compelled to pursue a different career, simply because I think I would suit me a whole lot more. Don’t get me wrong, my current job is pretty damn great, especially when you factor in the fact that I am definitely under age for a position like this. Even if our firm is relatively young (the staff), I am still younger than most people in the firm, and my boss given me so much faith by giving the marketing manager position to me. It’s a tough and demanding job and I won’t lie, at first I thought that I was way over my head. Even with the difficulties that I faced, I managed to find effective solutions, all thanks to my boss. He had given me so much guidance and assistance when it comes to approaching work issues that it would be extremely hard for me to find a boss like him. On the other hand, I know for sure that I want to pursue a career in PR, if anything, I really do feel as if I have to give it a chance and dip my feet into it, after all, nothing ventured, nothing gained.. I’ve got quite a decision to make, this issue has pretty much had been occupying my mind lately. I suppose I can always ask for more advice from others. I have consulted my parents, and they do agree that I should pursue another career if i have great interest in it, my best friends also agree, the only one who is as confused as I am is my bf. He just wants the best for me and felt, maybe I’m throwing a great career path just to pursue something that may not work out…. Bleh. I don’t know, we’ll just have to see I suppose.. |

So i've come to a decision to stay put. It's tempting to just throw caution to the wind and move to a different firm but after much deliberation, i think it's much more beneficial for me to stay at my firm for the time being. I've consulted quite a few people, and even though i received many helpful advice, it all comes down to what i think is best for the future of my so called career. I've come to realized that taking a different path so early on in my career couldn't be too advantageous seeing how other firms would probably frown upon it, drawing to the conclusion that i lack in consistency. Moreover, i also realized that it will be hard for other jobs to live up to what i already have at my current job. I have a pretty great position, responsibility and wonderful working environment. That being said, a friend of mine, suggested that i should really look into working for her dad's company. He owns an international company and is currently seeking to open an office in Chicago. This is great news seeing how I planned to go to Northwestern for grad school. I suppose i could definitely take her proposition into consideration.. I can't believe i'm actually in a position to even think of these things.. a career sounds so grown up.. i can't fathom the fact that i actually have one.. rather absurd if you ask me... |

I think i'm actually developing feelings for someone at work.. this is certainly unacceptable seeing how i have a bf. I guess this whole long distance relationship thing is starting to take its toll on me. I love my darling and i will never do anything that will detriment the relationship or his trust, he already have some trust issues so the last thing i would do is to push it even further. That being said, even though i'm determined to make it work and so far, it's been going great but the fact that i am realizing that i might actually be falling for another guy is extremely bad news for us.. I suppose it might just be one of those things i can shrug off... |

“Sometimes the expected simply pales in comparison to the unexpected. You got to wonder why we cling to our expectations, because the expected is just what keeps us steady. Standing. Still, the expected is just the beginning, the unexpected is what changes our lives."- Grey’s Anatomy. Amen. Just when you think you've got life figured out.. the unexpected just sneaks up on you and managed to change everything and you find yourself back to square one again. Sometimes i feel i'm still learning things that i should already know by now. *sigh |
