new

there are just so many things new to my life since the last time i posted a blog here. and with those many new things, i found less time to keep this journal updated. it's just like backsliding you know, but unlike my faith walk, in blogging, one have the luxury to be complacent at times.

where to start? i updated my profile to show my new job. just last february, i now work for the global service center of one of the most prestigious financial services firm in the world. as communications manager, the job entailed a lot of long nights, but i am happy with how i am dealing with everything that is also new that comes with a new job--new boss, new workplace, new work schedule, new work buddies--although some were friends from times of old.

i am happy with my job, and am most satisfied with management. but what keeps me fascinated with this firm are the growth opportunities available to its employees. on my very first month, i can see where i can draw a path towards the career i'd like to have with the firm and its so unlike very traditional companies because this company actually encourages you to go places within the firm!

aside from the new job, there are also a lot of amazing new things that my son, Aki, at 19 months, can do! he starts to babble on some words, and soon i can see him to be such a chatter! he is now fascinated with everything that happens in his small little world--a world that is slowly growing everyday. i remembered that first time he learned to open the gates and it got me misty-eyed! my son is so ready to conquer and discover the world in front of him.

hubby and i also decided to get a new car, brand-new and hopefully, less headache on maintenance works. it's nothing grand but very neat and dandy for our small family to bring us to where our adventures begin.

but in line with having a lot of things new, i am still glad to keep up with the old. i am glad that i was able to re-connect with some old friends and is grateful that i did so! it makes my heart melt seeing old chums of mine becoming mothers and some, transitioning from being a girlfriend to wife.
it is beautiful to be in this journey called life when there are other lives you can appreciate while in its full bloom.

new and old things help us appreciate life as it happens.
