Weew!

I am starting 2011 with one great big foot after another. To be fully honest, I am still in the state of shock right now. I can't believe that the first thing on my list of things to do this year has already been accomplished--and it's only the 5th day of the year. How cool is that?

I landed a job this afternoon and believe me, the hunger that I felt while waiting for my test results and talking it out with the HR people really paid off. My immediate reactions after signing my contracts was to go home and take a good rest--after I read the entire envelope filled with lots of papers that I have signed earlier.

*sigh*

The thought of finally leaving this Island makes me wonder...will I ever make it out there on my own? Will I survive a new urban jungle that has been a part of my history, my blood and my culture? Will I be able to keep up with the fast-paced demands of a new environment? Will I still be ME?

There are a lot of questions boggling my mind as of the moment, as well as thoughts of going out to see the world and meeting new people and exploring new places--and the thought that I would have to leave virtual reality in exchange for something that I have been craving for in the past few years of my life.

The thought of just being out there excites me in every possible way and I can't help but be anxious about it. I know it's going to be tough, but this is what I wanted--and now I got it, might as well take advantage of it. The first bite at the apple is always the sweetest--but as it taste bitter until the end, then the most exciting part comes in and that is throwing what's left of the apple and be happy that you ate the whole thing!

Woohoo! Cebu, here I come. Negros, I am going to miss you. Be back after 6 months for the grand reunion and the big wedding and of course, our birthdays. Could this year get any better or what?! :)
