The Virgin Banker Introduction

According to wikipedia:

Virgin = not yet touched, used, or exploited

Banker = an officer or owner of a bank or group of banks 

Virgin + Banker = an officer or owner of a bank or group of banks who is not yet touched, used or exploited

I guess that's me. 

Or not. 

Well it's not to say that I'm some real bored person with a shit-load of time on my hands, but as I get older I do realize that unless 1) you get married 2) have kids regardless whether you are married 3) are some sort of socialite or player, life does get a bit boring and mundane. And time just passes you by as you float along life, and lo-and-behold, suddenly people use this word called "troll", and you have NO CLUE what its about! 

Well that's me. So I'm deciding to get off my butt and start opening my eyes to the world again. 

I begin this blog to share about the experiences I go through in life. Its mostly going to be about:

1) Work - because i'm a workaholic and I realized there is a good bunch of people out there who think they know what banking is about but they actually don't. To most, especially those outside the industry, its a real generic job that most of their friends have. This assumption could not be further from the truth! I'll try to shed some light on this. From being in a school full of determined investment bankers-to-be, to applying for jobs, getting into a management associate program, to shedding some light on the work and experiences and life of a banker. 

2) Life - Given the hours we work (typically 9-9 daily), there's not much I can do with my time. Nonetheless, I do meet interesting people now and then, and I don't stop myself from associating and spending time with people who ... well let's just say ... they aren't your prom king/queen material kind of people. 

Life is always interesting, because it's just a matter of perspective. It can be boring if you deem it to be, or you could always see the brighter and more cheerful side of things ... the more interesting side of things if you choose to. 

And funnily enough, it's always the "First" moments that are most memorable. 

Cheers to the many virgin moments that come what may.
