I have just finished my horror story. It's my first time to seriously make one, but I do hope it's worthy enough. Worthy as in, story tlga sha and not just a composition of too many expositions.
Hmm, will find the courage to place it here once I have critiqued it to a good friend.
****
Slowly, it's coming to me again. Thoughts of finding a new job, one which is more rewarding, one that will really enhance my skills and lets me practice what i really want to do.
I do hope it will happen this coming year. Para new start, para bago.
I guess I had too much dilly-dallying already.

Kwentong T.G.I.S
A friend told me that my life is like a scene in T.G.I.S. For those kids of the young generation, or those who aren't that familiar with T.G.I.S, it's that teen flick back in the middle of the nineties which starred Bobby Yan, Angelu de Leon, etc.
Anyway, he says that I am so much into the friends circle, it's as if my life revolves around them, or as he would better put it, parang ikaw ang sentro ng mundo, parang lahat nagre-revolve sayo!" Meaning, there's too much drama, angst, too much of teenhood emotions.
True that I am so into the friends zone with people. Maybe its because I love being surrounded by them, knowing the situation they're at, and trying to help them as much as I can.
I am always surrounded by friends. Whether I'm in a good or bad situation, they're the people I run to.
My frined even laughed when he say a bulk of my barkada pix in my organizer, hindi lang TGIS ang sabi niya, Tabing Ilog pa!
Hehe. I'm just a teeny bopper kind of girl.
I don't deny it. Being teeny bopper has left me with memories of different kinds--different kinds of adventure with friends--funny, rebellious and even daring.
They are a set of memories which encompasses my childhood, my teenhood. It makes me whole. It makes me appreciate every life, every action.
It equips me with a lot of stories to tell, a lot of adventures to share with people.
Tabing Ilog? TGIS? OK lang. I'm happy with that!

Hello witty sis!
I am so glad to read a new post from you. Hah. Been quite sometime.
Bring that story out, girl. Don't let that fear inside you cramp you up. Been there, and to this day, I regret how I kept my works from other eyes, even from my father (who's a writer) and from my friends. I could have jumpstarted my writing career much sooner. So go for it! Show to the world your story. ;-)
As to your career thoughts, good luck. While I caution you to be careful, I'd also say go for it. Only those who are courageous enough to jump off the cliff have the chance of experiencing either the loud thud of failure, or the exhilaration of success. Success or not, you'll learn something from the jump. So I say gain: go for it!
And finally, I am glad you have good friends. Be happy; Enjoy being with them. :-)

NShucks, I sound like an older sister again. Ok lang, as long as I don't sound like a grandma. Heheheeh!
Love your thoughts. Take care.

hi ate!:-) thanks a lot for the great comment. IT's overwhelming to find a good friend on the net, especially one found through the blogging world. I have finished the story and was able to critique it to my good friend. Dami ko pa gustong ayusin, since it is just a draft. (note: it was a story assignment for an online writing stint) Ill be keeping it and hopefully, "restructure" it. My friend suggested readings to be familiar with writing styles. And will mull over them when I have time:-)
About the career...Yeah, I have to take the plunge. Sabi nga ni Cariisa Villacorta, "You won't know your chances till you give it a shot!"
And lastly, yes, I am blessed with good frineds around, and you're actually one of them!:-)
