Life in Orange-Tinted Glasses

the trail

April 28, 2009

From my Tumblr:

 

Good thing I still found a copy! Last of Seventeen Philippines’. One of my most-loved magazines. I remember everytime I read an issue of it back in high school (and Candy as well), it never fails to make me feel good about myself and they never run out of words (and materials!) to keep readers inspired. Even until now. The issue may not be as hefty but it’s jam-packed. It’s such a feel-good finale, their closed curtain must be sunshine yellow and not crimson red. Haha. Thumbs up Seventeen! (Wish I had a chance to work there, though.) :D

Surely Seventeen left a trail on me.

I wonder where and how I can leave a trail.

The good break I’m having so far gives me a lot of opportunities to think things over. I say to myself, there are things you’re able to think through when you’re on break which you may not when you’re at work. When you’re on break you get to think of anything and everything. When you’re at work, there’s an automatic preoccupation.

Okay so going back (I digress yet again! Haha!), I’ve made up mind as to where I’m going to work for my first job. I’ve talked about it with my parents and I’m thankful that they support it and even encourages me and recommends agencies for me. I want to be able to hone myself by getting a good training and a considerable “breathing space”. I’m still testing the waters so I’m praying that God will be my surfboard, or at least give me a surfboard. Haha.

My decision may not be sound for others, but  just like what I said in my Plurk a while ago:

people will question our decisions, we can’t really avoid that. But what matters is we stand by it. It’s standing up for ourselves too.

So I’m standing up for myself. Maybe my legs are a bit shaky now, but what’s important is that I’m standing. I don’t know where I’ll be heading though this, but I’ll never know unless I start walking. In the end eventually I’ll figure out if I would be able to leave a trail. :D
