Don’t you think so?

A year ago, I was probably moping about the fact that I didn’t get to march with the rest of my batchmates because of that stupid subject. I was not in a celebrating mood at all! And the future didn’t seem to bright for me then. And here I am now, getting ready for my EMEA shift. Never actually thought of working for this company until late last year when Joy “encouraged” me to do so.

Five years ago, I was fresh out of high school, saddened by the fact that I was leaving my friends, my home and everything else that I had gotten used to since I was born. Yet at the same time I was also very much eager to embark on a new adventure that was college. The uncertainty troubled me but I went through with it anyway.

Nine years ago, I was about to be a high school freshman. I didn’t want to be one after all those teen movies that I’ve seen wherein the freshmen were always the target or the upperclassmen’s pranks. Plus, most of my grade school barkada enrolled in Philippine Science! Though there were a few of us who stayed in Ateneo, I was still left out because I was placed in a totally different section, more than five classrooms away!

It’s rather amusing to compare myself now to the person that I was 1/2/3/etc… years ago. And it’s quite true that things don’t always turn out the way you planned it. But hell, I would not have it any other way, wouldn’t you?

Gasp! I suddenly feel so old!
