The New Year...2011...what?

To those who still read my blog,
I wish a (very-much-delayed) Happy New Year!

This blog post will share some of the stuff from 2010 and sneaks of 2011 that I feel were and are important to me:

1.Coming Out
I've always hidden this side of me pretty well. But I guess its time to let it all out (figuratively). My closest friends know I've always liked guys (in more ways than one). Yes, I'm gay...not happy-lalala-fluffy-rainbows gay...more like get-turned-on-by-the-likes-of-Guy-Tang-Brent-Corrigan-Brent-Everett-Jake-Ng-Ming-Han...

I think its because I kinda got tired of hiding all the time. Lying's hard work...its kind of like Public Relations in a way. First, cover up what gives you away, create some fictional story (or twisted truth) to divert attention and work that baby all the way to town! Yup, PR at its best!

2. Relationships (including friendships)
Some broken, others began anew. I have been called a serial monogamist...the extent and subjective definition to which this term fits me remains to be seen.

3. Friendships
Some have grown stronger than before...I never knew you could be so close to someone and love him or her on a different level altogether. Some have grown weaker to the point where I can't believe we were even chatting last time.

4. Love
Once again, serial monogamist.
To my Bunny, I hope you find someone better than me. I still have Angel and I know you still have Pengy. Let that be reminders to us both.

To my Snow Pig, I'm still waiting to be comfortable having you as my partner in a relationship. Right now, you kinda annoy me at times with constant SMS and phone calls (which you know I hate!). I hope things will change...lets see what 2011 has in store for us together.

5. Body & Fitness
I've joined Celebrity Fitness for almost 1 month now. I can see the little changes working out has paid off. Still in love with Zumba especially Deno's Latin Mix classes (slowly getting my gyrating hips back!). So far, have only taken classes from Deno and Sunny and Myke. Have yet to try Elva's Zumba classes but will fix that  ASAP.  My usual routine begins with cycle/treadmill for 20-30mins, followed by classes (if any), otherwise will be working on my abs (damn those lower ab fats! how to get rid?) and chest.

6. Career
Well, back at Bates141 again as an intern. This time, hoping to get a permanent job in Client Servicing department as I feel attracted and attached to this agnecy. My foray into this industry has always been that way ever since I found out about the field of Mass Communication. I realise I'm not necessarily as extroverted as expected of people who work in this industry...but I feel like I was meant to do this. Could I be right in saying that...this is my calling?

Recently a dilemma has appeared before me, one that I never thought I'd have to experienced until I myself had more experience on my shoulders. A good friend apparently put in a good word for me and now Vizeum Media Communications (a reportedly-BIG-in-the-industry agency but one which I can't seem to find any info online) is interested to have a chat with me.

This isn't just a big stepping stone in my possible career...its a HUGE jump-ahead stepping stone. But my dilemma is this...I'm a fresh graduate with "textbook" knowledge of an industry that changes so fast by the time you read this word, that "textbook" knowledge would have been obsolete and outdated. Can I do right by Vizeum and give them the 110% that they rightfully deserve out of each of their employees?

I'll be honest here...I'm nervous.
