While the first quarter was mostly spent on convincing
people to help me accomplish that not part of their job questionnaire completing
my Masters degree requirements, I would specifically not forget my 26th
birthday when I had almost celebrated it just like getting through the regular
workday…but my family made an effort to render the day extra special with their
spontaneous presence just 4 hours away to March 19th.
And yes… finally…after four
grueling years as I would normally say back in the high school or college final
days a comma and three letters have been appended to my registered
domain name, being conferred with a Master of Business Administration
degree in April 2015. Academically, that was one full achievement unlocked for
years through proper motivation and excellence---which there were no equivalent
efforts made from past endeavors. It was quite an attempt to gracefully end
what I started in 2011 that it had been a primary root cause for several and
big purposeful mistakes and decision errors big career decisions from first
resignation to employment hopping applications. Anyhow, all those had paid off well with my family so proud of me and of course, with my
sister who likewise graduated with Master of English and Applied Linguistic
(MEAL) degree, beating me with one letter for which we entirely dedicated to the true MASTERS of love---our parents.
A year is not as memorable as
it is without experiencing plot twists and plot holes lows and challenging
circumstances I would never trade for the exact opposite as those served
as reference to this year’s another set of challenges. I am somewhat grateful to
experience emotional rollercoaster at the workplace for it helped me review
my resume that has not been updated for the past 4 years revisit my career
goals and assess what truly motivates me to stay in an organization. While the
process affected me at various levels, I have been prompted to
deliver more valuable results. In fact, the “fear” that was previously felt has
been channeled to “excitement”. I am looking forward to a year full of new
lessons and knowledge upgrades, ultimately sustaining personal career development
I have been taking care of for years.
But 2015 was also an opportunity
to take new road---a rare attempt to take new field. However challenging and
great it is to achieve, I have conceded to the wishful thinking that it could have played
out well in parallel timeline and my decision to discontinue my CPA ambitious hopes
was a good decision after all. That was one semester worth keeping which provided me a tip on how to initiate or keep up on a conversation with a CPA
holder---that he is.
Meanwhile, the year was of course,
fully felt with the presence of best friends, new colleagues, one of them
turned out to be so special, the one who would deeply matter, sole un-friendship
on multiple instances and few acquaintances.
2015 was a moment to experience
the most memorable and fun travel with Ilocos escapade and Coron adventure
and sweet holiday vacations.
It is the year to encounter
new angels giving a glimpse of joy to meet my future angel and witness true love from the weddings
of closest friends sending me a strong signal for that only love coming on
his way.
Actually, he was not on his
way, he arrived perfectly… And that how 2015 ended on a high and happy note.
LOVE.
2016, I shall upgrade the hub and store it with brand new set of core memories. J
