Almost Over and Coming Home Soon!!!




 "Most of the lessons are learned when the tests are over"

 I will be celebrating the first ever "anniversary" of my life... and I made it!!! As promised the same day of  last year, I will make it in a year... at least. And now, I will be coming home soon.

Time passed so fast and 2010 seems to be a glance. It was pretty challenging and soul-enriching my sojourn here in the province I consider my personal "Alcatraz". The weather... the people... and the drama. So... ask me, how am I really?

The truth and for the record... I quite of having fun here. I thought it is pretty boring of being "out-casted" from a civilized life back home. I've learned so many things as a person and as a grown man. Life is too difficult already,so might as well have fun on it. I've dealt with a wide spectrum of challenges and now I see the results. Little by little, my hard work pays-off and I am really glad I hold until today.

To be frank, I am not so satisfied with the menu I'm presenting right now, or maybe I am just conscious and intimidated with the plating designs of my dishes. I always forget that I am not cooking for a "fine dining" and it wouldn't be a FINE DINING ever in this kind of place... unless a miracle happens. I should always keep reminding myself that it should be kept as casual as possible and don't go father than that. And 2011 as a fresh start, will be the starting point as well for that matter in particular.

I've missed so many things from 2010 because I am OUT-CASTED every two or three months from my real life. My family, best of friends, and other people in my life has leaped a lot during those times last year... and I missed all of those events  of their lives because I am too busy making a big mark back here. I am praying that 2011 shall be an going-easy schedule for at least the first quarter. I wanted to catch-up with everyone. And to every single details in my life that I put on a "pause" back home, not very long, I'll press the "play" button again and have it continued where I stopped last October. 

With my plans for this year... no definite objectives yet except for one, that is to relocate myself back in Manila. If fate unfolds and the outcome is good, I could stay if the perks becomes higher and I'll be satisfied with the ground I am walking on. I've given too much that I haven't had enough for myself. People keep on giving me promises that I can't take it no longer for I know it is just a candy bar for the kid inside me. What keeps me holding on is the hope and ambition that maybe one day it will become BIG TIME and along with that... I MAYBE reach my dream because I stayed.

Again, life is too short. While the year is fresh... I won't start spoiling it. Chances of having a better life is better every day and every tomorrow gives a greater opportunity. We will hover and wait but it won't be for long. Our hard lives will be over if we keep on making things simple. The most important thing is while we walk our lives... we keep on having fun.

And days from now... I am coming home. ^_^
