Peonies Talk

I found myself staring at my laptop screen,getting to know its dust and crevices.I have not bonded with it for sometime and it takes a moment to realize that I have been somewhere for sometime.

I am writing this blog in my last night at the barracks. I admittedly overstayed. I changed jobs three months ago and I guess I need to boot myself out from the camp unless other people will do the booting for me..hehe..

I did what i need to do,packed all my stuff and will move out to my apartment in Taguig city tomorrow. I can’t help but reminisce how I started in the army and how it had been-being a soldier and yes-staying inside the camp. Early last year, I’ve been griping over the inconvenience of walking to and fro from work and how hard it was to be outside the camp at past 10 o’clock taps. I also have to contend with wearing the same uniforms day in and day out during work days and how, for goodness sake, will I fashion my hair when they would be tied down up to the last tendrils in a tight bun every day.

Working as a military officer was a novelty for sometime and after knowing what it takes to be one after the marine heyday trainings, I started to entertain thoughts of leaving the service. First and foremost, I wanted to live a civilian life and do trial practice in Courts. I know I have to be somewhere else.

I got what I desired. I am now working at the Public Attorney’s Office. I have no regrets and I am enjoying every bit of practice I do in Courts plus the company of my civilian colleagues. My Judge in the Family Courts just got awarded with judicial excellence of some sort few days ago and I am proud of her . If I am going to enjoy this lawyering job so much, perhaps, I would be entertaining thoughts of becoming an Honorable Judge or Justice in the future..hehe..

But no, I think, I am better off with something global and corporate, some career that will give me more time and money. Perhaps in the next years to come, you would not be surprise if I am doing private practice and traveling from one country to the next. This has something to do with the businesses I am doing on the side.

I am about to share my dream book to my team in the next weeks to come. One dream which is pertinent to what I want to do with my life is-travel and pleasures and I have to make a living out of it. That gives me an idea to study international culinary arts, pursue further my international language solutions business and do product distribution network on the side.

And with all that, a friend asked, where’s the cute cuddly kids and a husband on the picture? I answered with a smile;I am quite sure with the kids but not so with a husband. I do have sperm donors but I am not sure if i can bring them home as my husband..hehe

I am pretty much happy with my life. A contrast to what I have been through last year. I managed to emerge from that dark past and I am now facing a positive synergy in work and business. Because of this product distribution network business I am into, I have fostered deep meaningful relationship with my family and met new friends.

In this latest journey, I got to know that I am largely a powerful choleric and popular sanguine. The education I received from my business made me know myself some more. In the workshops I had with the success principles book, (and if i had come to know of this early in my life), I would have been an international chef because I have passion for deliciously artsy cuisines, a writer, an interior designer, an architect, or engineer or an artist or an event organizer, an international linguist or interpreter or doing business in relation to recreation or a manager of a big hotel..

Whatever happen to those could-have-beens, I am presently not concerned if I am what I should be.I know pretty sure I will own a state-of-the-art kitchen, study culinary arts, travel from one country to the next ,own an art studio and a a rest house where I could write to my own heart’s desire. The vision has been that strong. At the present, I am laying the grounds for all of these to happen. That’s why I have not been around so much,often away from my laptop but out there making my dreams come true.wink
