Well I guess I’m back on track! This life hiatus is now a wrap.
I got a job!!
I can put my creative process to the test.
But it feels good that things now have the potential to turn out great. (Not that the much needed break was not, it did.) And I’m loving this ultra optimism I got from the break which should be able to keep me up on track for at least a year.
I got a lot of thoughts running through my brain right now.
Poor turn out in career shift.
Yeah, blame me for not trying hard enough. Sure the opportunities sounded cool and I’m greatful that companies are willing to take me in, but allowing myself to step back and think about it – my heart was never a 100% sure if those were the right paths for me to take.
It’s like making a decision of putting 3 years of experience to trash and trying out something that I know for a fact I’m no good at.
So I decided to be risk averse this time.
Not that this line of work I have is easier. Believe me, I saw people falter in this field. It is challenging. I cannot say that this is a comfort zone, but at least I have this chance to be at the top of my game.
New Old City
I will be spending most of my life now in a new but old city away from the bustling Makati corporate jungle. Let’s just say I will be surrounded by gorgeous men. We’ll see.
New industry.
I’ll be working for a company involved in a growing industry. I won’t be dealing with massive budget cuts, savings target and debt servicing anymore.
A more appropriate shift for my soul.
I’m definitely trying this unconventional work shift. I hope this works in my favor – avoiding rush hour and more time for other stuff.
Priorities.
The needed break was pivotal for me to rethink my priorities in life. To reflect on what really matters and to what makes me genuinely happy.
Yeah, I guess these are the thoughts that play in your mind right as you enter a new phase in life.
The challenge is to be motivated, make smart decisions, and stay true to my personal happiness.
I’m ready to crush these petty ideologies and get back to BS office work. 
Frozen Gulaman 
point of view
So yeah. I recently got a physical exam. And guess what? I grew half an inch taller.
Well the last time I got the chance to measure my height was roughly 4 years ago.
Maybe you’re wondering why I make a big deal out of it. Well it’s because the last time I was measured, I was already at 6 feet plus barely 3 inches.
Now I officially crossed the 6’3” mark and half an inch taller.
For a guy living in a country barely making it to 5’5″ average height, being 6 feet 3 inches tall is weird.
I remember being only 5’7” in my grade four elementary days where me and my papa was already at the same height. Then my growth hormones started to shoot up from then.
They say your highschool height will be your most likely permanent height all through out your life. But it was not the case for me. It helped me in a way since no body messes with me in high school because of it. I graduated barely passing the 6’2” mark.
The growing did not stop. I grew to almost an inch in my years in college. Then things finally started to slow down.
And believe me, the growth pains were never pleasing all throughout. There were and still are times that my knees creak whenever I walk or even sit. Not to mention I cannot sit down on extended periods of time. I also have marks from exponential shoulder frame growth. These stuff.
Well now. Just when I thought everything is stable, I’ve grown without knowing it.
I guess it’s one of the quirks of being me.
To answer a few questions:
No, I do not play basketball.
No, my parents are average in height.
No, I did not take any special vitamins or medications.
No, I’m not adopted – I got my tall genes from my Hispanic-Cebuano roots.
And No, the weather is the same up from here.
Seeing the world at half an inch higher now. Fun!
