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...

>>sigh<<

    sabi nga nila, mas maganda na yung bothered ka about your situation rather than become apathetic about it. at least alam mo what you still need to do, and thereby start finding na the motivation you need to get it done. mas hindi naman kasi maganda yung wala ka nang ambition, or hindi mo na kine-question yung status mo. having something to strive for protects us from being mediocre. and, sis, i know you are way better than mediocre. :)

    mama mee, hay yan nga ang iniisip ko... baka nagiging mediocre na ako sa trabaho kaya wala na akong asenso. but my eval tells me otherwise.. pero sigh pa rin. hahaha... i guess there really comes a time na mapapag-isip tayo sa ating mga sitwasyon.
