RECAP
I woke yesterday at around 3am, I couldn’t sleep I was too excited in coming back to the Philippines. I kept thinking of the things I want to do and the friends I’ll be meeting up with, it’s been over a year and I’ve missed them.
On my ride to work this morning I was thinking about what I told my instructor yesterday after class, I might be teaching Adobe Photoshop on July. It will be my first official teaching experience and it isn’t because it’s for community service or that if I do teach I get a free class rather, it’s a step if I want to teach part-time for one semester in a university. It’s one of my goals that I’ve written in my list to do and I intend on following through with that regardless if I feel like I work 7 days a week.
I have been inactive in producing a website for a year now and I should start revising my knowledge in Flash. Though, I have to thank friends for asking questions in CSS and what have you because I get to revise my knowledge in them. So, I suppose I’m not that far behind in reading and typing codes. I should start my own web site real soon but I’ve been too lazy and I’ve been stingy in coughing up cash so I could purchase a web domain/space.
I’ve been thinking about buying a condo unit, it’s a good investment and the maintenance is less costly compared to a house which, I have 5 years of experience with. I want a place of my own where I can retreat to or then again, I can always have the place (condo) rented until I get back. That is, my plan for owning one will have to push through by 2008. I have to establish myself first on 2007 in a different country after I’ve done my part-time teaching stint.
The condo and the business are plausible options as of now. I have to concentrate in securing my financial stability first and even if it means I’ll be working/studying 7 days a week then, so be it.
Although, I have to admit I must find time to do the things that I enjoy like reading books that I enjoy or learning how to edit/compile a movie or simply dabble in Adobe Photoshop or Flash (which I haven’t touched for more than a year already).
I’m almost finished with book 1 of “The Bartimaeus Trilogy”; I have to get the other two copies when I get back. The next book I should be reading is a book from the Shopaholic Series (Shopaholic Ties the Knot) and then I’ll need a breather after reading that so, I think I’ll read Nicholas Sparks’ “At First Sight” which I bought a month ago. I think I still have three books from Sophie Kinsella which I haven’t read.
Living in the Philippines alone has given me a lot of self control and imbued me a sense of responsibility in terms of spending my money. I’ve saved quite a few over the months and thankfully my parents understand my need to save. By 2008 I should be able to invest with whatever venture I see fit.
Patience and perseverance is what I need to accomplish what I intend for my life. I can’t repeat what’s already happened; time is a luxury that I don’t have. One more year of this and I’m gone, I’ll be a step closer to my goals despite the uncertainty as to how I will achieve all of them. It’ll come to me when the time comes; it’s always been this way.
