I woke up this morning with the usual unwanted, but familiar, irritation somewhere in the chest area. Aaargh, a year from now, all of these mushy B.S. I've been writing about will sound so foolish and I will laugh about it, wondering why I cared too much. But that's a year from now and I gotta go through the motions. Sorry, Ton, hindsight is 20/20 as they say.
Onto other things. Diving. Diving is fun, no question about it. I'm the fumbling, bungleing idiotic newbie who still needs to fin properly but the dive groups that I've joined so far didn't have problems with that and even found myself being invited to join their group again. Its all in the spirit of loving the sport and getting better the longer I do it. Proof of that is already having the confidence to go underwater without the use of the line anymore. Slow but sure.
Badminton. Ah, badminton. I can say that I'm good in this sport...and I play to win. I'm passionate with my game and if not for the getting tired part, I'd play badminton with the Energizer Bunny. Hehe.
Cameron Granville (CGAM). If there's only one thing that my boss would do to make me really happy while under his employ, it is to sell Ludo. I will consider it a milestone in my career as I bundle up the Ludo files and watch it go to the Buyer. In 2002, I was Emily Samoy's unsuspecting AO, minding my own accounts, when she ceremoniously dropped the Credit Application (CA) and some Legal documents of Ludo onto my desk and said, "Ton, i-redenominate mo yan." I have transferred accounts before but this will be the first time, if it pushes through, that I will be closing a credit file mixed with a twinge of sentimental value. After all, its been with me for 4 good and quiet years, and where on the 4th year, I found myself accompanying it to CGAM.
The Future. I'm 38 years old, still a lot of windows and doors to open, still a lot of people to meet, still strong and healthy to do anything and everything that I want. I've already taken stock of who I am, what I want, slowly letting go of baggage that should no longer cloud my heart. I welcome my Future with full anticipation, equipped with the experiences of the Past, making me a better person.
