These Are The Days

2 years ago, this is the desk where the more exciting Java codes have been written, it is a microbrewery in its own right. This is the place where some of the unconventional ideas came to life. This is where some of the near-impossible tasks were completed. Different codes for different reasons turned out from here too. Some codes were made just to simply prove a point or win an argument, some are made to debunk a hype, some were made with real-life purpose...to make a living, and make a life.

Now, I'm sitting in front of this desk once again to continue what has been paused some time, to pursue the ultimate goal while burning the midnight oil. Most importantly, to complete an unfinished business. After a couple of years overseas, loaded with so much distractions and failed expectations where I thought I could continue what I started. Regardless of material success, I am unhappier than before and I think that what is eating me.

Behind this desk, I'm in control. I make the decisions, both tactical and strategic. These are the things that I'm willing to buy back and earn from once again. And this God-forsaken Motherland(that's Philippines, of course), is where everything is happening right now, yes ladies and gentlemen, believe it or not people are flocking here to forge some serious deals and mind you we're not just about Professional Services, we're not just solutions provider pretending to have some product made out of crap like some five or more years ago. In terms of software development, we are much more relevant than our neighbors combined. Forget about the FUD that the international mainstream media is throwing at us such as terrorism, crime and political instability, at most these crises are more of an opportunity rather than a sickening problem and it's not exclusive to us(at least we could laugh at this because others can't).

Those were the glorious days. Today, this is the place to be when you're ready. We are the real deal.
