This Year...

It's been a while my good 'ol friend! If I am not mistaken, it's been more or less 6 months since I last dumped some of my cognitive waste. Well, a lot has change since I visited in here. I know it's too early to have a recap of my life during this year but let me just share how wonderful things fueled my life to move forward on a progressive way.

Let me just start of this entry by telling the thing that keeps me busy right now. As of the moment, I am obviously flipping my fingers here in my keyboard and I am currently pampering my ears with Dream Theater's Hollow Years.

You might have been wondering why I opt to listen to that DT song. Well honestly, the song is quite related to my life during this past months. If there would be a song that may describe my life this past months, it would be the song from above.

I have started my year with a bang and a booze. A lot of booze. Imagine a mixture of poison such as Absinthe, San Miguel Pale Pilsen, The Bar and J&B whiskey poured upon a huge water jug, a sip of this concotion will greet you a happy new year. I really thought that this year would be the same as my past years as my Father was diagnosed with CAD(coronary heart disease) early this year.

And to add insult to the injury, the thought of being a "BUM is no fun" have infected my mind already so I set my foot of to some companies which eventually have rejected my application. Until I found a certain company which has the guts and balls to hire a degree holder like me who have chosen to jump off the bandwagon and make his own trail out of nowhere and uncertain of the path he is making.

Whoa! Could this be a blessing in disguise or a curse wrapped in a sugar coat? Shees, no matter what, I can't deny the fact that I was a BUM no more! I started off slow in my Job. I also accepted the fact that I might become a Guinea pig as I would undergo some experiments with regards to my Job. As I have expected, I went through different changes. But I can say that the changes was worth it.

Having a job that deals with a lot of writing is like a bitter-sweet lollipop. Sweet because writing is one of my passion and as well as exhaust in life as well. As for the bitter part, there are times that you need to squeeze the juice out of your brain just to be productive. I also had the chance to travel some places I really like to go because of this job. I also had the chance to meet new people. I also brought my first camera because of this job.

But what really surprised me is that I found something, or someone rather wonderful. Well, mushy as it may sound but I found my inspiration in my job. I found her, my inspiration to drive my life in a progressive way. It was indeed a beautiful surprise because when we first met, it was like a normal. I even doubted if she recognized me during those times. Like the song of the same title by India Arie, a line goes like "yesterday, I don't even know your name". But I really appreciated her from the start yet I kept to preserve the state of reality on my mind that she will be uninterested to know about me because of the following reason;

• She is older than me, about 3 to 4 years gap. So I assumed that she would prefer a guy of his age.

• At that time, she went from a broke up on her 7 year relationship with his boyfriend. Though that was 2 years ago, I assumed she was still recovering from that emotional trauma.

• She was out of my league. Just simply assumed like that.

But a vacation trip have paved a way for us to know more each other. And the rest is history. The first time I have heard the magic word from her was during a Franco gig. I have learned that I have assumed the wrong things about her. I never expected that she would like a guy like me. And I am thankful to Jah for that. Even though I was interested on her when I first saw her, I never expected that I will end up cuddling her on my arms. It was indeed a beautiful surprise.

My fallen friend have told me once that I should find something or someone to die for just to realize how precious my life is. And here She is.

I promised to Jah that I will take good care of his gift to me. I will nurture her like I do with my own life and soul. And I will promise that I will make her happy for the rest of my time here in Mortal Earth. Call me mushy, but I really love her.

I just hope that it will be the start of our wonderful life. I also pray to Jah that we may live at least a simple yet a happy life together. Thank you Jah. Keep on raining blessings!
