First Things First After Graduation

I’ve been meaning to really get into the habit of blogging.  And actually, I started already but it’s hosted at another site. Unfortunately, I didn’t like how it turned out– the appearance and all. So I came back here to Blog.com because there’s just something different with the esthetics here. I love how it’s so easy to use, too. And maybe one of these days, I could buy my own domain if my blogging turns out great. Oh, wait. It’ll turn great if I blog daily. Right? (Laughs.)

The Blog Title Says It All
After the graduation ceremony, I went through long detours. Really looong detours. I received my nursing diploma and earned the R.N. title at the end of my name. But I decided that nursing wasn’t really for me. So I held my nursing diploma and went to all sorts of job applications without giving much thought about what I’m getting into. The eagerness to find a job was overflowing to the point that it was too much. Too much that it blinded me of making any sensible plans regarding my future career. That went on for about two straight years. And now, I’m here at home, unemployed and typing on my keyboard like a madman. I didn’t like any of those jobs. Neither did I like my nursing degree. (Mom, I’m not being ungrateful. I just don’t wanna be a nurse… yet.) Disaster, isn’t it?

Recipe for Failure
The best way to fail is to disregard planning. Don’t plan if you wanna fail. Don’t even lift a finger. Just stay in your bed, let someone else decide for you then when something goes awfully wrong, get up and do some damage control. That is the greatest recipe for failure according to my 2-year series of unfortunate events. If you wanna fail, by all means, stay in bed and don’t plan.

Road to Success
I wasted two years of my life wandering around– hoping I can land a job that would satisfy my curiousity about success and money. Nobody told me it was going to be this hard to establish myself. (Oh, wait. My mom did. I just didn’t listen. Haha.) The truth here is that everything starts with a plan. And if the first plan fails to materialize, it’s necessary to have another plan to back up your previous plan. I came to realize that if I had made a plan, then I wouldn’t be so lost right now. And if I stuck to a plan, I would have been a few steps closer to success.

An Invitation
I’m inviting you to follow my blog. No, I’m not offering a free product. No dole outs here. I just want to invite you to read through my disaster-of-a-life and see if maybe I can come up with a good recipe for success. Let’s read and write, shall we?
