Everyone has their secrets. Some keep theirs well-hidden. Some just wait for the right time to reveal them.
This moment, I feel alone and lonely. Just me and my secrets.

As I communicate my career aspirations to my very young boss, she could not help but comment, "You are ambitious Echu, in a good way of course."
I don't mean to be ambitious of any sort. I just want to find myself in various life-changing events. Indulgence in worldly possessions probably compensates for the other things that cannot or may not land on my lap.
While I busy myself mapping out possible milestones for my future, a line from the movie, Simon Birch, contradicts the underlying principle of that habit. It says, "You cannot prepare for the moments that will change your life."
Needless to say, these moments probably include romance, tragedy and all the other events that either complete you or break you apart.
Not that I have experienced any of those to date, but with everything that happened to me since last year, the statement could not be anything but valid.
Let's just say, after college, I have decided to take the road less traveled. Up to this day, most people still deem this path I have chosen as unimaginable or to some extent, quite revolting.
I can say that what I do now has an outer shell that humbles me as both as a person and as a professional. Apparently, this is what is visible. However, I'd like to believe that my job, at its very core, bolsters my ego, compels me to meet the standards of the industry and makes me realize that no matter how competent you are, nobody is indispensable in any company.
Many saw limitations. I saw opportunities - to learn, to grow and to shine.
The best things in life are offered only to the cream of the crop. But maybe, just maybe, as long as I can identify opportunities and maximize all possible resources, I'll get by.

And to that old lesbian who uttered a similar comment, kahit kalian hindi ka magiging lalaki. Your girlfriend will still look for a real penis. )
