When the new chapter unfolds

It has been a long time since I last posted here in my blog.  No, I have no plans yet of abandoning this little space of mine in the cyberworld.  It is just that many things had happened to me these past couple of weeks that left me with no choice but to focus more on the more important things, and leave what I have been used to do for a long time now - pexing, internet surfing and blogging.

Hey, I'm back.  There are many things that I want to tell you my faithful readers (there are about two of you as per my last count Haha).  Let us start, shall we?

===================

First, I am now back in the Philippines from my three month assignment in Batam, Indonesia.  It's nice to be back home.  I missed the people, the noise of the city, the buildings, the busy sidewalks occupied by streetwalk vendors.  The moment I stepped my foot outside of NAIA, I felt the same old familiar feeling... it's a nice tingling feeling (minus the fumes that the air in the city brings).

I don't know whether I will be back to Batam.  I don't know when I will visit Singapore again.  Travelling is such a wonderful thing.  I hope that the next one will be in Japan or in Europe.  

===================

After x long years, I left the company I've been working at.  I loved this company.  I've learned a lot of things here.  This is where I got my first job right after I've graduated and passed the licensure exam for ECE.  It's hard to say goodbyes.  The world we are in is small.  We'll see each other again.

===================

Working with a new company gives you that strange feeling - uncertainties, worries, excitement, challenges, eagerness to prove yourself,  Will I ever like my co-workers?  Are they gonna be arrogant fools?  Are they gonna be easy to work with?  Will they live up to my expectations?  Will I live up to their expectations?  How about the management?  How about my career?  Was it a wise move to abandon ship?

====================

This is the time for lenten season.  One of those times in a year to reflect regarding your faith and your relationship with God.  

Actually, there are many questions boggling my mind for a long time now.  Why did God make this world wherein people believe in different things.  Why did God make people who don't believe in HIM?  Why did God make some of my friends believe in different worldviews?  

It was a little disheartening to know that some of my friends (old and new) turned out to be either agnostics or atheists.  Though it is not for me to judge them, I still wish that they were not atheists nor agnostics.  However, I've made friends with them not because of their faith (or lack of it).  I've made them my friends because of the interests that we share.   But, I still can't help but think, could it have been any better if GOD made our situation any different?

==================

I am using SMART BRO right now here at my hometown in Bulacan.  Luckily, there's a signal (although the speed is still something to be desired upon).   

Unfortunately, I still have to figure out how can I use SMARTBRO with my Ubuntu.  It's not working.  That's why I need to use my Vista just to be connected to the cyberworld.  Hopefully there's a way to make my broadband work with Ubuntu.

=================

A new chapter unfolds in my life right now.  Quite exciting, eh?

Till my next post... see you!
