Sooo.. I am still confused on what I really wanted to happen with my life but I’m quite satisfied on the progress and even happier where I am now. As my previous entry says, I already have a new job and I love it. Going to office never felt so infuriating. It feels like going to my playground and amuses myself with inexhaustible puzzles, only, it’s more complicated. Things have to change and I’m proud of myself, I took the risk. And now, here I am, too damn proud.

Plans? I want to enroll for Technology Management in U.P next (or next next) year. But before that, I would want to take a SQL Server Certification. Yes, the nerdiness in me hits me. I am trying to self study and make myself bore stiff with books/ebooks/sites that talks about SQL Server configuration. But yes, weird thing is I’m actually enjoying it. That means I am on the right track of my roadblocks. I am going in the right intersections eh.

But how about those extra-curricular activities? I haven’t found my ‘hobby’. Well technically, my hobby or better yet you’ll find me reading books, cook and eat, watch movie, waste time with my laptop (her name is Helena, by the way pronounced as He-ley-na which means Light), doing nasty crafts, and…… that’s it! I can’t believe that’s it. Sheesh. Good news, a friend is involved with some sort of travelling. They explore Philippines’ nature at its best – in mountains, seas, land and forest. He said, they even visit some of Philippines’ never been explored islands and places. Well that thought already excites me. One time he asked me to join their trip on Cagbalete Quezon but unfortunately rainy days is ‘in’ right now and the travel was postponed. Oh I hate rainy days. Ugh. Plus, I’m looking for that ‘something’ where I will devote my time on it. As in seriously put ‘me’ into it. I haven’t seen it, haven’t found, I even haven’t had a glimpse of it. They say, when you’re too eager finding it, it won’t show up and keeps on hiding. It will be revealed in an unexpected time. But I will keep my mouth shot for now. I want to silently looking and searching for that ‘something’ so that ‘something’ won’t hear me.

Interesting. Mostly literature. If you are a bookworm and you’re a girl (or guys!) read these books. But for me, I only read one listed on those list - Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I even watched the classic movie of this.

These selections were listed by Jezebel after Esquire listed the 75 books every Man should read. Better check it out! 20 books every women should read
