The first 2 months of 2010 had been very interesting for me. I'm not sure how life-changing they will turn out to be. It seems like all aspects of my life got shaken and i'm still waiting for things to settle so i can tell you exactly where things are.
WORK
I ran into some crisis at work. This may come as a surprise to you since i seem to be happy with work since i came on board last year. How did it happen? I will not go into details anymore, it's much too complicated to explain. Let's just say that i was in love with my work and my boss (not in a romantic sense, just want to make that clear.) But we had a major disagreement and i withdrew. I tried to keep appearances but everybody at the office could see that i was just a shell of my old self.
It took a month for things to return back to normal (almost). On the outside, people are remarking that i'm on the mend. But inside, i know the whole episode changed me. and i cannot go back to being exactly who i was. Before it happened, i was serious contemplating staying 5 years with the company, and follow the career path that he's mapping out for me. But now, i cannot see myself lasting that long.
FAMILY
This part of my life is too complicated to explain. But happened recently is that my dad's confined in lung center since last friday. I was the one who brought him there. But i don't know how he is now. My mom's still bitter with him and while i try to understand her reactions, her decisions and her mandates, they are shaking me to the core.
Based on the initial interpretation of a doctor friend of my mom of the results we initially got, this might be it.
And there's the issue of his son. He's 15. Too old to be for people to feel someone's got to take care of him, but too young to take care of himself.
Because my mom's bitterness extends to him, we are not really permitted to help without it being an ISSUE. but i also cannot, in good conscience, not do something. Until things become clear though, nothing can happen.
So that's it for now. Happy birthday to me, huh?

Sorry to hear about your dad. What a complicated situation nga especially with the 15 year old!
I'm sure you'll find a way of helping him/them. You always do. Happy Birthday.
Spoke to my boss earlier, actually. i wanted to get inputs on what i can do to help in such a way that will not unduly tax me. It helped but i also decided to wait until my dad to execute it, if i do so decide.
