Starting anew!

So, in my line of work now, most of the folks I work with and get to meet are from the Gen X to as far back as the Traditionalists generation. Being Asian and all, it's terribly easy for everyone to categorize me as being a millennial. The trouble is there is almost a really negative connotation to being boxed as a millennial. One training I attended which was aptly called, "Generations in the Workplace", had me being a crucial part of the training to represent that generation. Being the minority and the "misunderstood" generation I had to bear the brunt of their rants and complaints. It is not that I don't empathize but I just find it unfair to be judged as such without chance to let them know that with age and experience comes some maturity as well. Also, that they are not without any generational "flaw" so to speak as well. A lot of times, I find myself in denial of being a part of that generation just because.

However, truth be told, I have been blogging even back during the dial-up days using xanga,livejournal and blogger. I have used MIRC and yahoo messenger to chat with folks. I signed up for a friendster, myspace and multiply account before facebook came about. Yes, I caught the internet explosion as it was just starting but I spent most of my childhood without it. This meant looking at encyclopedias and going to libraries to do the research for schoolwork, to submit reports in handwritten or typewritten form.

And now, I am going back to blogging but hopefully on a less dramatic way but on a more useful way to focus more on travels, relationships and weddings among others. Cheers to new beginnings!
