In this tiny island

minsan kwela, minsan walang kabuluhan, minsan masaya, minsan malungkot, minsan magulo.... gusto ko lang iparating sa inyo ang nangyayari sa aking mundo.

sigh

wala ang aking regular chatmates dahil holiday sa pilipinas... kaya dito ko na lang ibubuhos ang aking mga iniisip

i just got my performance evaluation for the year. imagine, naka-5 years na pala ako sa islang ito. and what do i have to show for it? hmm, good question...

naisip ko lang, di ba normally sa mga job interview, tinatanong ka "where do you see yourself 5 years from now?". ano ba ang sinagot ko noon? tinanong ba nila ako nito? pero siguro kung sinagot ko man, ang sasabihin ko, i'm probably in a mid-management position already, fully integrated in the business of the company, knowledgeable in most aspects of operations and has passed x actuarial exams.

well, i'm still in the position i got in 5 years ago. i guess i'm integrated in the company and knowledgeable in the operations. but i haven't passed any actuarial exams. why? workload or sheer laziness or a combination of both.

i've been getting good performance reviews. i just haven't been promoted to mid-management level. i don't know if i really want to... i'm happy where i am. maybe i just need a raise in salary (ehhehe)... forgive my ramblings... it's just that, 5 years has passed since i got here. i'm just not sure if there is something tangible i can show for it. i should be happy... i've been truly blessed... i've been learning a lot... i'm being appreciated by my superiors... but there is something bugging me. i'm just not sure what...
