And so the story continues

... New chapters and storyline included.

I've been on a roller-coaster ride the last few months. I know. I probably use the term “roller-coaster” way too much for you to actually believe me, but this time, I took the ride of my life (well, so far it’s the craziest one). Those of you who are into astrology call it “Mercury in retrograde” while I, on the other hand prefer the more positive “Universe conspiring” term. It really doesn’t matter what you call it but when I look back at my life in retrospect, it’s amazing how much change has happened in the last 6 months. And I’m talking about good changes, though it didn’t initially feel like it. I believe they coined instances like this as “Blessings in disguise”

Now, I’m not one to dive into details publicly and this will probably end up like a cryptic blog post to those who I’m not well acquainted with. Then again, I trust that the people I’ve decided to keep close in my life would know what exactly I’m talking about and honestly, that’s all that matters.

A lot of curve balls have been thrown at me earlier this year. The people you trusted to be with you through thick and thin ended up in another direction, the plans that you've made got muddled up in oblivion. BUT, I can't say that I didn't see these coming. In fact, I did and just ignored it. Ignorance is bliss that comes with an expiry date and if you prolong it, shit hits the fan.

And so it became messy. Being the private person that I am (an irony to my professional front as a PR practitioner) I decided to keep my feelings to myself and my close group. Thank goodness for kindred souls who get you even without saying a thing (guys, you know who you are). It’s during times like this when you discover those people worth keeping and I learned that I have a handful of them.

I was never the type to cry, but I do take off my armor and lick my wounds privately (revelation: Miles Montecillo is human, complete with emotions). I suppose my point in writing this is to let everyone know that I’m perfectly fine and happy. I felt obliged to do this because a lot of people became part of my life during those years. Well, I'm happy to report that issues have been resolved and everything has fallen into its rightful place. I do however apologize for not elaborating any further. I have fully embraced everything that has happened and that’s probably the reason why this post is long, long, long overdue – I've obviously been too busy enjoying my life. :)

I honestly do not know where the next 6 months will take me but with the way things are going (with a lot of unexpected, yet very, very pleasant twists and turns...) I’m pretty excited to find out. :) Who knows? The Editor-At-Large (aka God... I believe I'm still the author but He knows what's best) might even include a new character in the plot. 

And so dear blessing, you really did fool me at first. Your disguise deserves a “Best in costume award”.
