Six months

Six months. Its been six months since I started this 'phase' or whatever
you want to call it. Who knew it would end so abruptly? I was doing well
at work, starting to buck down and aim high. All of a sudden, change of
thought. Hit Pause. Moment of indecision. The idea lodged itself in my head and
started gnawing away at me. I just gotta break out of this cycle.

Clearing the air first, there is really nothing wrong with the place. Sure
the conditions are rather different from what Im used to but hey, different
city means different situations, right? Whats getting to me is the lifestyle
here. Not really liking the vibes. Sure, I can adapt but its taking potshots
at me both physically and emotionally. Not really sure the nightowl, auto
adjust lifes really suits me. Im having issues 'growing' here as well.
Sure the sense of responsibility, need of budgeting and respect for other
people's privacy are earned but those are in auto-learn, you get them along
the way. What I mean is that in the areas of interest and physical fitness,
currently I am at level zero. I'm just stuck in a rut. And the rut is not just.

Social activity is at an all time low as well. Of course, friends are there
but you cant really hang out all the time. Work friends are, well, friends at work. Communication with best friends are few and far between because everyone is busy as well. Now I have really have nothing against my friends . In fact, I'm grateful that we try our best to stay connected.

On a brighter side, there are three things that I did learn during this period. One is that reality really punches hard and it doesn't let up. It leaves you dazed and confused with all the problems it puts up along your path. One of those problems is the second thing I've learned and its to respect the Peso dude. Budgeting can be a bitch sometimes.

The third learning is one I already know but I didn't really take into account until now and its the importance of family. I cannot stress enough the important presence of family in one's life. It has kept me sane for the majority of my stay here and I'm glad that I have a great, supportive family.

So that about wraps it up. I regret nothing, I will remember everything. This was a part of my life and now I am moving forward. Next up. christmas. Yeah..Peace Out.
