back from the woods

It looks like I went too far back into the woods that it took me almost 8 months to return...haha! Been busy elsewhere...and like with the other "elsewheres" I've had in the past this "elsewhere" has become too public so now I'm back.

I was just browsing through other people's blogs these past couple of hours and I was inspired to be creative. Last year I talked about wanting to be more artistic and creative (talked about this "elsewhere"). In fact I even bought some painting supplies to practice watercolor painting, but I haven't really made time to pursue this project.This year, I plan to find time for this.

I have a great feeling that this year is really gonna be different, actually I think it's starting to test how I'm gonna react when I'm taken out of my comfort zone. In the past four years I've worked in my office I've managed to have a very private existence. I've had the luxury of choosing the company I'd like to have around me and this kind of existence has really been good for me. However, last week my manager told me that she would like to feature me as trainer of the month. According to her I deserve the recognition because of the excellent job I've done at work. So being the "Supastah wannabe" that I am, I agreed to answer a few questions about myself thinking that the article would only be posted on our company website which people seldom go to during the day. Little did I know, they'll be posting my write-up on the bulletin board here in the office :-/ So now, I've got my photo posted on the bulletin board looking like a "missing person's" ad (They didn't put a heading on the write-up. HAHA!). Well, I appreciate the recognition and who knows it could be good for my social life, but I'd have to say that I am really embarrassed seeing my face there...but I suppose this should really push to me open up some more and be more open to new possibilities. 

my photo on the bulletin board (geeezz I'm wearing the exact same jacket on the other photo I have on the other bulletin board...yes...my photos are on two bulletin boards here in the office right now :P)
