Promising Prospects

The past couple of months have been a blessing. Life is good.

Though experiencing some possibly major setbacks, my family is still intact and ready to face the challenge of a lawsuit head on. My pathetic excuse of a father has decided to file a civil case against me and my siblings over a property that my grandfather had legally donated to us. I guess when you are over 60 and have nothing to show for, you turn desperate. My siblings and I have talked it out and our message is clear - sige, mag-ubusan tayo ng yaman. bring it on!

I can slowly sense my career taking off. I believe it! The management associates program I am currently in is about to end and I am anxious and excited to find out my permanent assignment. It is no secret that I am targetting a head office position in any of the following departments - trust services, treasury, and fund sourcing. My assignment would help me decide on my next career moves. If satisfied, then I shall invest in other cv-building initiatives like enrollment in a foreign language course for example. If dissatisfied, then I guess exit strategies must be implemented.

My love life is still looking up. We are still on our honeymoon stage when almost everything is peachy. I do see some red flags. There are still some important issues we need to work on and there are certain things I still need to accept. But overall, I can honestly say I am happy. But I guess happiness is different from contentment. It makes me wonder if I am the monogamous type. I have proven to myself that I can make a commitment with another person I love but I have yet to prove to myself if I can be faithful. I have always believed that you can not find everything you need and want in 1 person. That thing they say where you find someone who can fill the voids in your life - that other half or that better half - well I think it is mostly bullshit. I do not think that person really exists. You may find someone who can make you happy and inspire you to be a better person, but that person can not propel you to greater heights in all the mountains you wish to climb. Do I even make sense? Meanwhile, I have started to watch an old series called Queer as Folk and the aggressive, good-looking, and permiscuous character named Brian said something that somehow resonated with me. "I do not believe in relationships. I believe in fucking. It is direct, honest, and efficient. It does not have the complications of a relationship brought about by so-called love which in most cases is founded on lies and half-truths." It got me thinking.

Although I may entertain some questionable thoughts on relationships, I can still say I am relatively content. Hmmmm...or maybe not. I guess it is human nature to want more things and strive for better things in life. I guess when all the basic facets of my life make the grade, it is but natural for me to aspire for other things that can give me a stronger sense of fulfillment. Hence, I have been thinking about going into business. I have some options. I can franchise or start my own. But right now I am thinking that I can franchise to start then find something I am really passionate about and I feel like I can excel in and build my own business from it. The opportunities look bright.

Now I wonder how the next few months would shape up. The prospects are promising.
