I’m realizing that my attention on Philippine national development is actually a reflection of my own dream for myself: an existence and a future more prosperous than my past. Funny how the things we do ultimately teach us about ourselves and our inner desires.
Since this blog and since the correspondence with some of you that it has allowed me to enjoy, I have slowly been more and more open-minded about the direction of my professional life. The sharing we do has enabled me to see and think about what I truly want; it has allowed me to peel off layers of past expectations, past self-perceptions.
What started out to be a blog to help drum-up optimism on the Philippines that I feel is lacking out there is turning out to be a pretty effective excuse for me to think more deeply and honestly about what I want in life. This blog is helping me understand what I truly want out of life. It allows me to filter issues that distract.
But because this blog remains a space created for you, for us, I hope you have also been entertained by a few of my original posts about Clinton, Obama and Pacquiao. I promise there are more of those original posts to come. I’m still just getting comfortable with informal posting.
Fianlly, this isn’t intended to be a revelation of my next steps, just a long-winded “Thank You” to those of you who daily encourage me to keep this blog going, and as a result, allow me to think about things more clearly.
