Gravity is gravity
It doesn’t try to pull you down
Stone is stone
It can’t help but hold its ground
Really love Jewel’s songs but this one really resonated within me today.
Strength, tenacity, courage and grit for each new day.
Okay I don’t care how bad the reviews are for the show. Gonna watch it when it comes to SG anyway just to reminisce about Dex and Em.

Life is never fair, they say. And the same goes for work, as I’ve just realised. For once I realise that there are so many things beyond my control. Gone are the days whereby sweat + tears = results. I am now dealing with so many other external factors, it feels like nothing is within my full control anymore. And for a control-freak like me, that means adapt, or fail. It means accept it and move on, or stay resentful and lose out even more. Work then, is a never-ending lesson on taking things in my stride, staying positive through it all and trusting in God’s greater purpose for my life. Just like how I cannot reason why bad things happen to good people, I need to accept the fact that sometimes shit happens that has nothing to do with my ability or my self-worth. It is a lesson on being man enough to know that bad things happen - and they always will. As the cliched but true saying goes, it’s not what happens to you that matters, it is what you make out of it. In the face of unfairness, I can choose to become bitter, or I can choose to make myself even better.
A little life update. LinkedIn has become my defacto social network sans Facebook, and my daily reading material now revolves around Mashable, Marketing Interactive and Social Media Times. Weekends are so precious now, nothing beats simple pleasures like TWG High Tea with a good friend, curling up in bed with a Mask and Tea, cooking with the boyfriend and spending time with family.
Graduation has been bittersweet, but not as emotional as I’d thought it would be. Farewells usher in new beginnings and new challenges, which I am definitely ready to conquer, head on.

Day 2 of my job and I’m loving it. Started on my first project which will last me through my probation. In other words, it’s make or break. As much as nothing gives me more satisfaction than ticking things off a to-do list, asking God to help me know when to let go - and not neglect the people dearest to me, Him included.
She’s gorgeous! I’m a fan girl. Can’t wait for Green Lantern to screen!

When your head and heart are consumed with fear, you’ll have no room for dreams. Food for thought indeed.
So I’m back from an amazing and awesome holiday. It was a great getaway and exactly what I needed. Really thankful that the boyfriend took all the time away from his work to plan the entire itinerary. Maybe we’ll find our retirement home somewhere in Tuscany in the future. We’ve had so much fun in the mundane, and moments that can never be replaced or replicated.
So yes, last chance to bum before work begins on Monday. Day 2 of bumming and I’m kinda sick of it already - no goals, nothing to work towards to - this is not fun.
The truth is - I’m dreading Saturday. Increasingly so, I do not feel very much at home, and I dread the “cleaning up” that is to come, and “judgement”, maybe? Thank God for a few familiar faces that get me through it. Praying for His discernment and grace. And the courage to walk away if necessary.
Now take away guaranteed success.
When your head and heart is consumed with fear, you’ll have no room for dreams. Even if you don’t know the outcome, try, and try again.
