Learn A Little

Going through old blog posts and currently staring into the screen of my company's laptop, thinking how it's always so sentimental when words try to pour itself out; treating this as some diary as it is.

I've been so caught up with work that time management is a huge struggle. As they put it, everything has its pros and cons. So let's try to focus on all the pros where I've found love in travelling around. And being in the travel line, it doesn't get any better than the places I've been to in the past year.

Pros: Travelling
2015 January - Taipei, Taiwan
2015 April - Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam
2015 May - Switzerland
2015 June - Krabi, Thailand
2015 August - England

2016 March - Taipei, Taiwan ( upcoming! )

2016 Some time along the road - Thinking of Boracay for personal trip. :3

Cons: Personal Life vs Work Life
Then again, when you've gotten promoted just because 3 seniors have left, you're forced to fly right before you learn how to crawl. And after a hectic few months, you finally have some time for yourself and you start to wonder what's all that about?

It strikes right to the heart when you know which are the priorities, but you choose to look over quotes and advises from Google, not do anything about it and just feel bad about it.

Career success at what cost?
"Some of us work jobs that allow us to clock out at 5 and have the rest of the day to ourselves. But when you work in a demanding area, you don’t always get that luxury. You’re sort of always working, and sometimes that can get in the way of your personal life and the relationships that matter most to you. Either you have to draw a line between your life and your work, or eventually you’re going to have to chose between one or the other." - as quoted by Thought Catalog

Results : Don't Get Me Wrong
Don't get me wrong. I love my job, though it can be exhausting at times, but to hell with it. I love my job and the opportunities the company has been offering.

As for personal life, media's done its way though The Devil Wears Prada and got me looking at what's been wrong. ( I had brought work home, together with the stress, mindset and frustrations, if there were any ).

Slowly but surely ( with a lot of encouragement given from my mom, bf and HOD ), things are starting to be under control. Of course, there's always a lot of room for improvement. You learn everyday. What is there not to learn?
