Done and dusted

So my first proper working week (as a journo) has officially come and gone. 

Like many first-time mothers would say: Nothing could have prepared me for it. Why do I use the first-time mothers phrase? Because in a sense, I have now "birthed" my new career. From here on out it's going to be a mix of first-time everything's. I will now invest time, sweat, tears and (God forbid) blood into this new avenue of my life. 

It's been a very challenging first week as I had to get used to a whole new world of things which I had to learn very quickly. Bless the cotton socks and patience of my new colleagues who have been amazing in helping me settle in. 

During this first week I have been criticized,if only to help me better myself and taken under the wings of many. Back to school photographs, familiarizing myself with suburbs I have never trod before, deadline day, sleepless nights and getting 1000 likes on a website story has been order of the week. And after doubting myself and wondering if I could actually do this...I LOVED IT! Nothing gives me greater satisfaction than proving myself wrong.

I now know what it feels like to live a dream, to take steps to fulfill a dream and create bigger ones as I go along. 

And then there's this...

Eternally grateful! 

It's been an amazing week :) 

New year brings a fresh outlook

*deep breath* 

So! It's been two weeks into the new year already and all I can say is wow! 
Everyday since the beginning of this year has been a hive of activity and in the midst of it all I also got to start my new job as an intern at a media company *insert whoop whoop and yay's over here*

I am definitely geared up for 2014 and ready to tackle all challenges head on. I know that everything that's happening now is a result of a hard work and to continue in that fashion, will be the plan of action for this year. 

I have decided to add a new project to my already (gratefully so) overflowing plate and have decided to give the photography stint a go in a more professional sense. Recently, I've done a few photo shoots and will be sharing my pictures here shortly and hopefully this will grow into something substantial :)

But for the most part, I just came over to greet the new year and hopefully this blog will see more of me this year *holding thumbs*

Here's to 2014 and making something of already-planted-seeds
Cheers
