Bound to fly

“Everyone has oceans to fly, if they have the heart to do it. Is it reckless? Maybe, but what do dreams know of boundaries?” – Amelia Earhart

Today is my last day at work. I have resigned from my job here in Singapore after great four years. I am set to fly one of the oceans I am bound to fly!

If you ask what’s next for me? I will smile and tell you, “I don’t know.  Nothing is certain yet.”  What do dreams know of fears and uncertainties, after all? Amelia said, if it’s worth the risk you’re taking, then stop worrying!

My heart is inclined to pursue digital storytelling and other media-writing-related jobs on a full-time basis and a larger scale here in Singapore or somewhere else.

For the next couple of months, I will be on the road, on the sea, and on the sky! It’s going to be a 56-day journey for me. I will start by making a trip to the Philippines to see my family and friends. Shortly after that, I will be back in Singapore, then fly to the US! My colleague and friend, Angeline Koh, another “flyer”, will visit the Center for Digital Storytelling (CDS) in San Francisco (where digital storytelling began). In August, we will join a five-day Facilitators Intensive Training conducted by CDS in Denver. We will also conduct a three-day digital storytelling workshop with the Navigators in Colorado Springs and attend Via Affirmativa, a conference for people in the arts and media. Every summer, about a hundred art makers come together for a festival and a celebration of beauty and creativity. This year’s theme is “Unfolding Stories”.

Ah, yes, unfolding stories. Unfolding skies and oceans for me.
