Every individual is like a diamond with many facets. And like a diamond, these facets are shaped by our journey through life, exposed to trials and hardships every day along the way.
Career-wise, my life is two-faceted. For a decade now, I have apprenticed myself to the IT craft. I earn well in a lucrative career of database administration (DBA) using the Oracle technology. At present my main bread and butter is administering to 2 manufacturing sites with a total of 80+ test and production databases. I enjoy this job and hope to continue to be challenged in this area.
On the other side, I have a longer affair with writing. Started since I was in grade school. First, the passion to read and later the longing to write. Poems, short stories and essays on countless subjects and my moods. My informal journals are table napkins in restaurants, the back of receipts in department stores, and a nice scented pink organizer at the privacy of home. Whenever the urge hits me, I just need a pen and some surface to write on and I'm off. I aced many of my reports, case studies and business plans in college and post-graduate school in this manner, writing creative and technical pieces.
Currently I juggle these two sides of me quite well. I do freelance writing for websites and other writing projects. I am a competent DBA and now a semi-starving writer.
Life is good! :)
