10th Year of Sailing

5th of July 2004 marked my first day @ work after carefully choosing from my options after securing a college degree.

Now, this makes me feel so old! How time flies that it is now my 10th year anniversary in the world of the shipping industry.

This industry served as my bread and butter for all those years 'till today. I met great people who had inspired me to be the best that I can be. Built frienships tested through time. I had been into places and experiences I could only think of...yet they were bound to be my reality.

My humble beginnings at GSC had set the bar so high that I get to secure better and bigger opportunities @ NTEB and SSH.

If I have to repeat it again...I am sure that I won't do things any other way.

I would still choose to be at the training room located at16th floor of Wynsum building by 8 am, July 5th 2014.

Sharp. Eager for the preparations in the years to come.

Shoes, my Past and I

Really... I am not into gadgets, basic phone will even serve me. I don't like buying expensive perfumes nor wearing top of the line watches and I find it awkward putting any sort of jewelry BUT I must admit...I  shoes!

Perhaps when I was young, shoes was my frustration. I would always get to "inherit" shoes from cousins that doesn't fit them anymore. I remember, going to school with set of shoes 1/2 inch shorter my size and it kinda hurts my feet lol. So, sometimes mother will buy me a shoe with allotted "allowance" of 1-2 inches so there is a room for adjustment for my growing feet. Meantime, I had to put some sheets of cloths or paper so the shoes will fit me. Earlier in my career, I always want to buy a nike but I always thought that is way too expensive for my budget.

Yet, I never complained. I told myself, one day I can buy the shoes that I like. Now, every time that I buy a shoe, there is some sort of fulfillment I cannot explain. It is like fulfilling a childhood dream. Call it crazy, but sometimes I just like to keep them in the box and never wear them but I know, I will defeat its purpose 

And to receive shoes for free? The feeling is awesome!

Thank you ate Yin for this, can't wait to wear them

How People Tends to Hurt US

People will hurt you...intentionally, unconsciously or for no reason at all. 

And they will do it as if they have acquired every single rights. We authorize them anyway and we are bound to forgive them as well... Thinking, that is what is the right thing to do.

Yet, one thing they will never realize is that PAIN can easily be washed away by tears...but the scars will forever echo in the deepest tunnel of your core. 

...as you seal it with silence.
