I'm seriously considering taking lessons on one of my hobbies, which are playing the drums and cooking. I originally wanted to enroll myself in a gym for the second time around, but I decided otherwise since I can workout at home and sustain my build at the current routine I am on now for the past 3 years. Another deterrent was the monthly fees gyms required, about 2500PHP per month... I'd rather spend that money on protein supplements.

Am leaning towards the drums. I wanna be proficient in playing this instrument, and maybe play in a band someday just for fun. Maybe this could also be an outlet where I can meet new people and learn new things about people and myself as well.

Fortunately I have learned something new about myself these past few days. I have learned to control my temper through understanding how a typical office works, and how hierarchy plays a role in office politics. I have come to a conclusion that I am paid to work not to think; There is certainly much more to be gained by being maliciously obedient than expressing concern over one's work or employer. As selfish as this idea may seem it is essential in keeping your sanity and values in tact. Maybe someday I may work with people wherein there would be mutual growth and equality; and where success is not measured by one's finances. Until then I shall try to make the best of the given circumstance and perhaps learn more interesting things.

Another thing I picked up is the fact that people don't want to hear the truth. I often get pissed at my grandmother or some of my close friends when they say that doesn't go along with my beliefs... only to find out today that it is a defense mechanism for not wanting to hear the facts. People would rather lie than tell you the truth in hope of being polite or saving your friendship or whatever reason it may be. As ironic and stupid as it may seem I find it appalling; for starters a real friend should tell you the facts and not white lies. Most of the time people talk behind your back instead of telling you straight forward, then blatantly show you an innocent face once they are in front of you. The sad thing is I thought that this behavior was reserved for kids, unfortunately it grows rampant with age; I guess that's why politics was invented in the first place. So to avoid the madness, I am starting to refrain from giving unsolicited advice and only talk back when talked to. This way I save myself some time and sanity ^^v.
