The new me

Coming out of your shell is not easy, not at all. Some in-confident side of you begins to stop you and say, "Wait, are you sure of this?" or something like, "Teka lang (Wait for a while), you better ask someone first. Maybe you'll look nakakahiya (shameful)"
Let me tell you some of my 2 newest experience that I really have to ask others:
Firstly, fashion! When I got out of the country (my beloved Philippines), that was the time realized that Filipinos are conservative of their own fashion. I'm currently working in Jordan, a open Arab country, where fabulous fashion styles are to be seen. Most of them are covered with abaya ( a type of muslim clothing that covers their body from head to foot) but a lot of the prefers a head cover and a the usual clothes exposed (I am referring to long sleeves an long pants). I'm not interested on that fashion sense by the way; what i love here is that some Muslims don't practice these fashion statement. They do have the option of wearing whatever they like which includes sleeveless, skirts and shorts and it looked so good on them. Trying to wear those are temtping. My questions are, "Do i look good on it? it feels good wearing them but don't you think others would see it as revealing?" But i'll get use to it anyway. Thanks to my roommates who always say i look good on it. When you want to get out of your shell, you needed some affirmation.

Secondly, I am not techie! "Techie" is the word for you if you are good in manipulating technologies.  Guess what! I didn't know how to start creating a gmail. But thank God, the word 'ask' made things easier. Thanks to Mr. Manny Viloria (my first mentor of SWA -Supreme Wealth Alliance) for showing me the baby-steps way out of my non- techie world. We'll all I have to do is ask, even if you feel ashamed showing the truths about your incapabilities. At the back of my head, "nakakahiya, para sa simpleng bagay lng tinatanong ko pa." I even asked something related to dollar accounts and peso accounts, because I don't know where to send may membership fees.
Being ashamed or in-confident about these new things and 'asking-level' will always be temporary. It will not last forever so don't worry. If you want to learn something new, then I encourage you start now. Starting points are always the most difficult ones. Just remember that successful people always have their humble beginnings.
Till the next dimension in my life.
