So much has happened. I work day and night to keep up with my 2 employers’ requirements. It’s tiring but I’m oddly enjoying it. I love graphic design and photography. I work as a graphic artist to save money to buy new lenses and travel. My goal is to spend my sabbatical leave (probably 5 years from now) travelling around Europe or Asia.

I hope to have sabbatical leaves every 7 years just to travel–I want to take pictures and write about the places I visit. Nothing excites me more than the prospect of seeing new places and compiling them in one epic travel blog. It’s one thing that I know I would never get tired of and I would like to go out on trips as much as I can before I settle down and completely lose my youth.

For the first time in my life as an adult and part of the working class, I have finally made a concrete plan. I don’t have to really be on Sabbatical leave every 7 years, maybe just a few months of doing what I truly love if not one whole year.

Ever since I had my plan ironed out, I slowly began to focus more on my savings. I rarely shop for clothes and I always make sure to save first before I spend. I should invest on something more worthwhile, something that’s going to make me rich in experience. I don’t want to spend my savings on something that’s temporary. Others buy cars or houses and that’s kind of like a tangible product of a progress in career. As for me, I just wanted to go around the world. I would probably get a car and a house but I’m not going to spend on fancy ones.

Traveling is a good motivation. I can safely say that I have finally come to that point in life where I’m more confident about my decisions. So maybe I’m a little foolish for prioritizing my passion rather than worrying about who I would end up marrying and have children with. I will have a family someday but before that, I want to enjoy my “singlehood” first.
