Appeased ~

On October 2nd, Rhockaby is feeling: Appeased ~

Today I got a promotion at work :)

If you're here, you probably know how much I am into vigorous melody based movement. No, not having sex with cheesy music in the background. Dancing. Recently I have had plenty of time to dance, I'd say 3-4 days a week. Heck, the only reason I wouldn't be dancing is because of my second job. If I'm not working my night shifts, you know I'll be at Tivoli, jamming.

And in the past few months, I've also had the amazing chance to utilize my creativity, professionally! Sure, egg cartons aren't ALL that, but it's something that I love doing, and mind me, something that I'm good at too. And it pays the bills as well, so that's a plus plus!

Last Sunday was Fiesta Malaysia. I reprised my role and was quite happy to contribute my jumping abilities (lol... jumping...) for the East Malaysian Dance. Despite the weather, I had such an amazing time performing, and even more preparing for the event. Now all will know that Yaya's house has a buluh tear on the carpet due to experimentation :P And it was such a great feeling hanging out with other people who are so enthusiastic!

To sum things up, in the past few months I have been spending a lot of time doing things that I truly enjoy, and for lack of a better term, I get paid for it as well. Sure I'm not making big bucks and pouring cash outta my pocket, but I'm getting by. To love your work is not working at all, and I am so blessed to be experiencing it.

There is a question of how long I'll be keeping this up. Down the road, I will need something more secure, something that'll not only provide for my mouth, but another's as well as mini-mouths too. I can only hope that I'll still be doing what I love :)

"I need to provide for my family"

"But provide what exactly? The understanding that money is the most important thing? Or the idea that the only life worth living is one you really passionate about."

I'll leave you to find out where I got that from.

Today I got a promotion at work. And it may have been because of my good work, or my attitude, or my countless hours slaving. But all that was done with a smile on my face and me looking forward to it every morning waking up. How many people can say they feel the same?

Oh, before I forget... Lynn and I just had our 1 year anniversary! :)
