| Saw an ad yesterday..... it was about victoria's secret. No... I wasn't drooling all over the girls in the ad! However, seeing that ad brings one other plus to my new job though! The company I'm gonna work for works really closely with victoria's secret!! Muahahahahahha!!! And from what I understand, all their photo shoots takes place at their corporate HQ! Apparently when you walk in the front door, they have pictures of their models lined up all along the walls!! Man!! I can't wait to start my new job!!! *Grins* 
Finals going on this week..... lots to do.... and need to wrap up a client project. I can't wait till this semester is finally over and done with!!! Counting down!!

| Interesting Year....2006..... it's been rather interesting this year. Lots of changes. Mostly good... but some were bad. Can't really expect it all to be good right? Well... let see.... haven't touched my blog in a long while. Been pretty much preoccupied with other activities 
Anyhow.... let's see..... I guess I'll start with the more recent events since they are still fresh on my mind. 
Time is drawing near.... and the time to graduate and enter the workforce is coming closer and closer. Don't get me wrong..... the thought of making money is great..... but not when I gotta get my own house, car, bills, bills, bills, and more bills. Makes me wish that I was working back home. That way I can still live at home and have everything else pretty much paid for 
But then again..... the thought of the pay that I'm getting is enough to prevent me from going back home. I finally got an offer for a fortune 100 company. They're huge and the pay is extremely good. Started thinking awhile back..... I knew what I wanted to study.... I knew in what kind of line of work I wanted....... I even knew which country I wanted to work in......... all since I was 14. So far everything this has been on track..... but the one thing that I never thought about and should have was......... what is the target PAY i'm expecting?!?
Came as a shock to me that salary wasn't one of the first things I was thinking about. I was more concerned about where I wanted to work and in what kind of corporate culture. The thought of money never seemed to dawn on me. At least.... not until I was made an offer recently. I guess it's a good thing that I never thought too much abuot the money I would be making in the future. 'Cos that would've changed my whole view on which company I wanted to work for and would've missed this great company.
I was lucky to be in the right place and at the right time. Never in my wildest dreams would I have expected to make this kind of money. It's just awesome!! Now that I have about 6 months left in my collegiate career.... I'm thinking about what goals I have left to acheive.
I've set aims for myself and have pretty much hit most of them. Albeit at the cost of losing certain things in the process. But now that I start thinking abuot the future..... only 3 things come to mind...... What house to buy...... how far do I want to climb in the company....... and what car to buy!! 
Hahahah I've never thought about that till recently either. I was always happy with my Mitsubishi Lancer..... I guess since I've been through so many changes in my life in the past year.... heck... why not change cars too??! 
Trying to figure out... should I get a Beamer, Merc, Toyota Camry, Honda, Nissan 350Z, Nissan Maxima!?? All those cars look great and perform well too. But can't decide what car I want. Back when I bought my current car.... it was easy. Get a nice four door car that was within my dad's budget. After all..... i'm just a college student. No sense buying exp. cars and pay a whole lot on insurance and maintenance. But now that I'm gonna start earning my own money..... it's just great!!
I don't know how all these things came to pass.... but I definitely give thanks to God. Everything just seemed to fall in to place after a rough beginning of the year. Meeting a wonderful person and getting a job.
Right now I'm half looking forward to graduating and half dreading it too. Gonna probably miss the carefree life and the possibility of staying up late nights without worries. 2007 Here I come!!! I'm gonna come in strong this coming year!!

| Freedom to choose?Hm... read a friend's blog post today..... Freedom to choose? Lead to some interesting insights.... We all have the freedom to choose... and we are all held accountable for our decisions. It was interesting to read his post. Couldn't help but think about what was said and apply it to my life.
Choices are a part of everyones life.... we cannot run away from it. The choices we make define who we are.... sometimes the wrong ones are made... and sometimes the right ones are made. If a wrong one is made.... try to rectify it.... If you can't.... then learn from it and never repeat the same mistake again.
Makes me wish I could rectify mine  Maybe it's not too late yet? Who knows... The power all lies with God.... he controls our future HE knows what is best for us all. In some ways he sorta answered my prayers.... but not all of it.... I'm still waiting to see the last part of that prayer answered.... It may not be sometime soon.... I know it's a process A process to heal.... A process to build the courage.... A process to love again....
I'll eagerly await for my opportunity to come back once again.... This time... if it comes around again... I know it'll be perfect timing.... God's timing..... So far things have happened the way I wanted it to.... only at the wrong time. So I shall wait and continue to pray.... that the next chance that may come around to be of the right timing.
