Finally, I’m finding time to write something again for this blog.I have more time now since I’m no longer employed in SEAFDEC. There were so many things I wasn’t able to write about late last year due to my work load.

One thing I want to write about is why I left SEAFDEC after 2 years and 5 months of working there. First, I didn’t resign. I simply did not renew my contract which officially ended December 31, 2009.

From the very moment I entered SEAFDEC, I never planned to stay long. Perhaps I was to some extent ’skilled’ in my work on publications and multi-media but it was never my passion. Besides, writing ‘world-class’ news and laying out books, flyers, posters, etc. from day to day can be really taxing on the most oxygen-hungry organ of our body. So, to be frank about it, I was very much looking forward to January 1, 2010. I think I’ll write more about this and my SEAFDEC work experience later.

So moving on, what’s there to look forward to in 2010?

I thought I would have lots of free time this year since I only have my MS classes on Mondays and Tuesdays. Boon or bane I don’t know, but it seems like my work is following me. I might see myself writing a book and producing an instructional video this year. On top of that, there’s the demands of fully establishing Tibiao Fish Spa Co. before I can let it loose on auto-pilot. Lastly, of course there’s my nonnegotiable responsibilities in church which I truly love and enjoy.

So much for peace of mind.

I need a thesis topic! I need to finish my thesis next semester so I can graduate by October 2010 – but the problem is I don’t even know what aquaculture field to go into! Where is my ‘expertise’ needed in case I decide to actually practice my profession?

In case I do graduate by October, I hardly have any idea what to do next. Apply for a new job? Where? Concentrate on being self-employed? Really? Go on to PhD? What field?

Though the future be a haze, wherever God leads me, that will be my desire, my delight.
