Becareful of what you wish for

When Heroes first hit the tube, I was absolutely infatuated with Hiro Nakamura, the character and the actor himself.

So I read up on Masi Oka. It says under occupation: FX engineer. I can't quite imagine what he does. I mean I've seen enough FX on movies to know the end product. But how be a FX engineer? So I told myself, if I am given another chance, i want to know what a FX engineer do and perhaps be one.

Fast forward 3 years later. Here I am. Halfway through grad school. I am learning exactly what he is doing, loving it. I can be FX engineer when I graduate if I choose to be. That scares me. Grad school still scares me but I am doing it, and oh boy do I work hard at it. The madness, the workload and I still have my day job on top of that. 

So it really urks me when they say things like, "Oh if you keep this pace, pretty soon you can be Solution Architect."
I scratch  my head. What makes you think I care?

I am afraid to dream :)

Because so far, my dreams do come true.

Don't be afraid to dream and having your dreams come true.

Dreams are nice things. Not nightmares. Though it's possible to convert a nightmare into a nice dream too, by taking control of the nightmare.

I'm floating on clouds, living my life because this is what I want. And I have it. Who can say the same?

I am not going to regret what I have to give up for what I want in life. I am having my dream come true...
