Jo San!
So here it is. I have finally purchased my own domain. Don’t you think it’s quite odd that I have been working in the WWW industry for quite some time but I NEVER had my own domain? Ever. I did have my own personal site for years now, but had only signed up for those free hosting and URLs with little banners in almost 1/4 of every Web page. I’ve wanted to have my own domain ever since I have been hooked on the Web but I never had the will to get one. So here it is, after x number of years, I have found the domain I like. If it’s still isn’t obvious enough, my domain is an anagram of my name. 
Gawd, I missed blogging. I have been detached from the blogging community for almost a year. But yeah, though I have been on hiatus for such a long time, I’M BACK! 
Please bear with me as this site is still under construction. I will add more pages and create a personalized layout when I find time and my patience would permit me. I am just sooooo excited that I need to blog ASAP! 
So what happened to me in days I’m disconnected from the online community?
Almost a year ago, I have gotten a call overseas and had been given a wonderful opportunity to work in Hong Kong for the Crown Worldwide Group. Yes, a proud OFW as known in PH, and an expat as they call in HK. The experience has always been a blast. A bit shocking and frightening in the beginning, but very much appreciating where I am right now.
To be honest, I am not sure if I am ready for this when it was first presented to me. I guess the thought of being away all by myself just scared me. And when I first got here, I didn’t appreciate this blessing right away. I only thought of it as a good career move. I did not see the other opportunities that came along with it. I did not allow myself to enjoy my life as much as I can. It just occurred to me one day that we are who we choose to be. So if I isolate myself, I will always feel alone. I know there is still no place like home, but I also have to embrace the changes that have been happening to me. It’s a good change anyway. My experiences here are something that not a lot of people are able to experience. It’s a journey worth keeping. Something I will remember when I grow old. Something money can’t buy.
Living here, I get to learn new things everyday - professionally and personally. I get to meet different kinds of people; learned different cultures and traditions; and get to experience the good and the bad stuffs. There is something fresh every day. There are a lot of first times. And above all, there is growth. Looking back from when I first arrived here, it’s funny I didn’t see all these.
What happened almost a year ago was a wonderful birthday gift I received from Him. Did I mention birthday gift? Yes, this is the time of the year when I celebrate the day I was born. I just had my birthday 4 days ago. Consider this domain as a present for myself. So in a sort of reminiscing what happened a year ago, this is what I have decided to write on for my first post.
So what’s with the title of the post? It’s a Cantonese word for good morning. One of the first few words I have learned when I got here. It’s a new post, a new blog and a new life. The morning of it all – a fresh start indeed.
