Taking new road

For 2 1/2 years working here in Singapore as a contract software developer, I've decided I'm done, this is not the type of job I was aiming for. The salary was better, way better than what I have earned previously in Cebu. But there's one key component missing -- passion. Passion for the things you are doing. Everyday doing the job is uninteresting, tedious, boring and mundane at best, every time I woke up, the first thing that comes to mind is "Should I take a leave"? I miss the times when working don't feel like working at all because you are having so much fun doing it. In a couple of days I'll be coming back to Cebu, this time I'll be working for a US startup company and will be doing a lot of Ruby on Rails development. This might be it -- the career that I've always wanted, a nice salary, a nice place to stay and working on a job that I loved.
