I don't know if the people here in the office have started to notice, but i've started to become more carefree with things related to work nowadays. Maybe its this nagging feeling that I have that whatever i'm doing now won't matter to me in a few months time. Its given me this devil may care attitude that quite honestly suits me well. Don't get me wrong, its not that i've become a non-performing asset here in the workplace because i'm not - I still get things done. I'm still the earliest to arrive in my department for most of the working week, I still submit my reports way ahead of the deadline, and I'm still working on a number of launches. More importantly, my boss still trusts me to get things done. On my part, however, I just feel like i'm going through the motions. I'm honestly just counting down the days until I turn in my resignation letter and move on to bigger things. And I think the boredom is starting to manifest itself physically. I've been taking longer lunch breaks, going home earlier, and using up my leaves for no reason at all. The mere fact that i'm blogging on company time is proof enough of how bored I am here. Its personnel evaluation season right now, and frankly, I don't even care if I get a high or low score for my rating. That's how indifferent I am nowadays. Am I such a bad employee? If you were my boss, would you fire me? To tell you the truth, I have played different scenarios in my head picturing myself being fired and being instructed to clear my desk. And for some strange reason, I feel good right after. I don't know...I'm weird that way.

Its been said many times, "with a new year comes new life". Don't we all deserve a chance to live anew each year? If people are entitled to it, then blogs shouldn't be an exception. That being said, i've decided to breathe new life into my blog, inspired by the fact that my friend Pam picked her own blog from the ashes and started blogging again after many months of hibernation.

I'd still want this blog to be a chronicle of my journey to find true happiness and contentment. I'm very grateful for the past year, for it has opened my eyes to something that I potentially have the passion for. This year, the groundwork is slowly being laid as I have started to embark on my supposed journey.

A Quarterlifer's Journey will still feature happenings from my life, no matter how miniscule they might be. I believe that no matter how trivial a particular event may seem, it all adds up to the mileage of where and how far the journey will take me.

My personal theme for this year is to venture out to uncharted territory. As the popular cliche goes, "nothing ventured, nothing gained". I've realized that life is too short just by being a casual observer. I've told myself countless times that its high time for me to move out of my shell and cross over my comfort zones, but i've been too complacent to do so. Now, I am ready to participate in the game of life.

With the rejuvenation of A Quarterlifer's Journey, I hope for a rejuvenation in my life. No more living in a gilded cage - where things are easy and predictable. It won't be easy for me but in the end I know that i'll find what i'm looking for. Join me in my journey. I predict that there will be many bumps and pitfalls along the way. I don't mind though, for the best journeys are the ones with unpaved roads and winding paths anyway.
