the big leap

August 17, 2006 it's funny how life has it's own twists and turns. and i can't help but believe that GOD really has his own plan for me. that everything does happen for a reason.

like the day i took this job. i've always always wanted to be in creatives. while my other classmates were all trying to grasp the art of account management, i doodled away at the corner of the room. my notes were sketches of my professors and beings from my make up world. i have half of my notebook intended for lyrics and poetry. i have a high in creating anything, with or without sense.

then months after graduation i got a call. it was her. she offered me a job, but not in creatives but in media. i thought about it for a minute. during school, when im not doing creatives, i tend to be the one assigned to media. its toxic to most of my groupmates because they say its all math.

so since i think i would do well in it..i took the job. months in it, an officemate of ours transferred to another "department". she was very very good at what she was doing before that, so i thought, why shift? everyone then said that it has always been her first love. this was what she had always wanted. her dream job.

it was then that i started thinking. am i compromising my dream just to get by? should i follow her steps and go for what ive always wanted?

but then i thought, this is somewhat still being "creatives" but different. its not just creating ads, it's finding a way to reach the market by presenting something that has never been done before. its reinvention. and i embraced the challenge and decided to stay. maybe i was born to be in between, i thought.

then now, life is presenting me with another opportunity. i am starting to shift to being creatives. and its fun. its very stressful, yes, but fun. i cannot believe i had second thoughts at taking it before. i would've beaten myself to death if i didnt go through with this. hehe. so is this the beggining of me realizing my dreams?

i say GOD only knows. he works in funny ways. he knows not to give you what you want when you want it. he makes sure you're ready for it. that's how he makes us appreciate what we've got. and for that i am thankful. of course it will still depend on the decisions that you make whether or not you would be who you should be. im just lucky i took that leap when he told me to. or else id be stuck on the same place, still wondering if that's where im supposed to be.
