One thing, I don’t think I am capable of fully hating someone.

It may sound odd, I have had my share of heartache, but somehow the love I have or had for that person tells me that I made the right decision for including him in my life story, no matter what the outcome was.

I can feel angry at a person for years but when I it all boils down to hate, I am fully incapable of it.

There is this saying, I forgot the author but he/she says “The choice may have been a mistake but the choosing was not”.

Deep inside me, I knew I chose that person for a reason. A reason bigger than what I know and can fully grasp. A reason, I am sure, the ever seeing God can only understand.

Probably, he was put there for a purpose, to love for everything that I am, I really don’t know. Somehow, as the years go by, and the pain doesn’t sting that much, you admit to yourself that hey, you are indeed capable of such a great selfless love --- and you know, deep inside of you, that there is something better out there that deserves the same kind of adoration you once felt for this man, and this time, it can only get better.

"For the first time in history, corporate managers face the challenge of managing four generations at once: the Matures, Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Generation Y (the Millennials). As Boomers get ready to retire en masse, their children offer a unique challenge to corporations, which need to change their workplace cultures, recruiting methods, and retention strategies or face a loss of billions in turnover."

"Managers need to help their organizations and employees adapt to the highly educated, technologically savvy, confident, and demanding Millennials. The Millennials, born between 1980 and 1999, do things differently than their Boomer parents and bring a fresh new perspective to the workplace." - Keeping the Millenials, Sujansky & Reed

Sought after employees, they are loyal, but they keep their options open – always.

What to write, what to write.

There is so much to write I can’t put a finger on it.

How delightful would it be to simply starting attacking the keyboard and ruminate about the complexities of life. The lows, the highs: just exquisite.

Harper Lee’s classic (To kill a mockingbird) has been on my hands and mind for quite sometime. It’s supposed to be a love story of sorts but turns out it talks about parenting, justice and racial discrimination. It talks about how to be a “fine folk” in the most basic sense of the word.

Sigh. I miss writing like this.

Whatever comes to mind. Just whatever.

I have always been intrigued with the power of social media.

You can’t be in social media if you’re not sociable, right?

Uhm, yes and no.

If the main purpose of you using social media is to network with people who can do you favors, then by all means! You can do it, but (and that is one big BUT) only for a limited time. Though you can get away with it at first, keep in mind: the novelty will most definitely wear off if you don’t start developing those relationships.

Social media is in the business of collaboration, sharing and networking. Social media is, first and foremost, about helping people. If you can’t participate in the community, then I guess you’re better off with emails and phone calls (which I have nothing against, and highly regard it as more personal/intimate, but that is a whole other story).

I use social media a lot. In fact, social media has been one of the main reasons why I have a job in the first place!

This only goes to show the power it has, to make total strangers become colleagues then friends, altogether.

So I figured, I wanna make my own blog. Just for the heck of it.
Am gonna write about all the shitty and not so shitty things that happen to me, to others and to the world, everyday.
I am gonna write about why I am in a current career limbo. Why I don't drink coke and why my pet peeve is being late.

Also, this will be a dumping ground of why money is so hard to get by these days and why I opted to take a stand and fight, event if its only through my blog. Don't like it? Block me, Koala dares ya!

Setting aside those angsty comments and rants, seriously, this blog is probably just about anything. I closed my blogger accounts years ago, so might as well start something new to document my everyday adventures.

Lotsa love,
Koala
