Year-End Post 2014

As we celebrate the birth of Christ, may each and everyone of you find Blessings of Peace and Happiness, not in material things or earthly pleasures but in the comfort of our families, friends, co-workers and those who are near and far but close to our hearts.

24th Hour

It has been eight months since I arrived here at Diego Garcia, British Indian Ocean Territory to work as one of the Dispatch personnel for the Fire and Emergency Services. At first, things are kinda new to me. I have to get familiar with the protocols, SOP's and technology used. I have worked for a similar local agency back home then, but as soon as I recall the procedures, I got used to the new system in no time.

When the going gets tough at work and when the person who is suppose to lead you fails you in every category expected including that but not limited to professionalism and conduct and when you had your patience stretched to the thinest point and still manage to come out on top of the situation, its a bit relaxing to reflect and look back at things at the end of the day.

Diego Garcia Shades of Grey

Days of work sometimes takes toll on the body and mind. You get to see things in a shallow way or the opposite. Colors fade as pressure builds. Sometimes, doing nothing can dull the senses as well as drinking anytime of the day.
