"Do you see your way more clearly now?" the old man asks.

I nod.

"Yes. I want to simplify. To not run all over the place. I want to give but from my abundance, nothing else. I want to take care of myself first, before all else. I want to finish what I start - at least a lot of it."

I come to think of all my ideas, floating inside of my being like unused notes in a song.

"As you said many years ago: you want to let your ideas ripe on The Tree of Possibilities?"

"They are not my ideas, they are the Universe's."

"Oh, but what would happen to those ideas if you were not here?"

"Somebody else would take them, I guess."

"No, they would not."

"People share the same ideas all of the time."

"Yes but they all have their cosmic signature. Don't you see?"

Life is tough.

I couldn't get more stressed... HAHA Year 2022 is not for me. But I still have 4 months left pa naman since it is just Sept 1.

I just thought that this year would be the year of my progression, productivity, wealth, health, gaining knowledge, etc. But it is the 9th of the year and yet I am still here, laying in my fucking bed, blogging about some shit that happened in my life. Lol.

Ain't it funny? The last time I blogged was last April. I had a job way back then, a job that I wanted so badly, but why did it become so hard that I really wanted to escape there, thinking that it ruined something in me? I resigned. I just woke up one day, thinking that that day would be the day I would file my resignation... and I did. All I was thinking was, "Ayoko na don, ayoko na, di na ako babalik". I just can't stay anymore. I don't want to. So yea, I did what I really wanted to do.

I am hella confused, but there was this feeling of ease in me... like there was a nail detached from me. But I wanted a job. I didn't want to be jobless, so I tried reaching out to Kia. She is working at DMCI Homes in Makati. I was given an opportunity and was scheduled for an interview. I studied and practiced for that interview. Yet I still made a mistake and blew my chance. So yea, I was rejected. It hurts... but what can I do? I made a mistake, so I must learn from it. And maybe I did. lol

I tried for MDC and MDC Buildplus. I was accepted at MDC Buildplus because of Krishna. I made an effort to be part of that company! Really... so it was very hard for me to go and leave that company because it was another dream come true for me. and I put effort into them. But life.. life is confusing, hard, and it would not give you what you really wanted without you being in a hard situation. I don't know. That's life for me. I always have to choose between two things that are actually good.. like I have to choose between "better" and "best" with their best features, including each other's differences in benefits. Did you get my point?

So yea, I decided to leave MDC for what I think is a better purpose and a better opportunity for me. It is for Fluor. I just hope that this company will be a company that I can last a long time. I don't want to go anywhere. I want to be here. I want to learn here! So please, life... I know it seems unfair, but please... help me overcome all these. I just want to have a job.

The last time I wrote a blog here was in the year 2019, yung makabuluhang blog ba. Pero ngayon, gusto ko ulit mag log for some reason.

January, I was accepted in Cavite for the project CALAX, at first, sobra akong nahirapan mag-adjust, halos di ako makakain at makatulog talaga, kasi it was my first time mawalay sa pamilya at sa mga kaibigan, wala talaga akong kakilala. Nahirapan din ako mag-adjust kasi puro matatanda nakakasama ko don. Hindi naman lahat, pero mostly. There was a time na akala ko talaga magreresign na ako kasi diko kaya tapos nagkasakit ako non, so may reason talaga ako para umalis. Pero pinili ko pa din magstay. Sabi ko din kay Lord non na magsstay ako don, pipilitin kong magging okay. It went well naman, nagka-friends ako, hindi na ako na hohomesick, everything is settled. But I prayed to Lord, na aalis ako don pag may company na malapit tapos office engineer na ako kasi sobrang init dun sa pinagtatrabahuhan ko, kasi nga kalsada ang ginagawa. Until last March, I was given an offer. Sa Mabini naman yung Company, which is samin talaga yun, taga dun talaga ako, at ang offer nga office engr. so sabi ko, yun talaga ang pinagpray ko kay Lord. Hindi sana ako tutuloy at magstay na lang sana ako sa Calax kasi gusto ko din na don. Pero nung umuwe ako, subra akong naawa kasi mag-isa lang nanay ko non, iniwan kong mag-isa, halos araw araw syang ganun. So tinanggap ko ang offer.

March, nag start na ako sa padalawa kong company, BCDC. Hindi sya ok, huhu, pinipilit ko na lang iraos yung araw araw. Sa tunay, gusto ko na lang bumalik, pero naisip ko baka reklamador lang talaga ako. HAHAHAHHA nakakapag site naman ako, nakakapag office din, kaso apakadaming stress, feel ko pa ang bobo ko don HAHAHAH. Ayoko lang din kay GPM don, huhu tas sunod si PM, tas ga naman, alam ko namang bago lang ako don, or bata pa ako, pero tama bang Janelle lang tawag sakin? Like, oyyyy, respeto nyo din ako. Utas, kahit nga mas mataas sakin dun sa Cavite, nagma-maam pa din sakin eh. lol. diba dapat lang yun hehe. Tas yo, nagkaron na naman ako ng offer. PAG-IBIG naman.

Sa PAG-IBIG nagtry ako, kasi napakalaki ng sweldo, govt kasi yun, kesa don sa sweldo ko ngayon, haha, tapos makakalayo pa ako samin pero hindi naman ganun kalayo, so oki langggg. Bet q naaaaa. Pero di naman ako natanggap. Feel ko okay ako don eh, kaso di lang nagustuhan ni Ma’am yung grades ko sa Math. hehe. average lang ako eh. hmp!

Balik BCDC na ate mo Andrea. April 4, nag submit ako ng application letter sa Fluor, isa sa dream company ko. Weeks passed, kala ko wala na, so nag give up na ako. Haha, not until now, Apr 25, nagemail sakin, hapon naaaa, tas bukas interview and exam na mala-boards, iniisip ko kung igo-go ko kasi gusto ko talagaaaa, pero mas lamang ang ayaw ko munaaaaa, kasi di talaga ako ready mag-exaaaaam, parang magsasayang lang kasi ako ng pera non. Ipagpepray ko na lang talaga kay Lord na sana dumating ulit sakin yung opportunity na yun, maybe in a few more months or next year. Sana di mawala sakin yung better opportunities. 

So yun, BCDC na lang muna ulit hanggang maumay AHAHHAHAH nakaka 1 mos pa lang naman ako here. Sana tumagal ako, at kayanin ko lahat ng binabato sakin ni PM at GPM, sana magging okay ako dito. Alam ko magiging ok ako, reklamador ako, pero kinakaya koooo HAHAHAHHAHA

Lord, I thank you for all these opportunities and offer that You had given meeee. Still, di ako nawawalan ng trabaho, and Im still earninggg. Thank You Lord!

Sana kahit gastadora ako, sana dumating sa point na makabili pa din ako ng mga gusto ko, at makatulong pa din ako sa pamilya koooo. HAHA, gusto ko lang din muna ispoil sarili ko. Eme!

December 1st, 2019

It’s Sunday... all alone in these 4 corners called home, writing some stuffs and shits again. Trying to be someone I used to be. because to be honest, I like my old self... the one that always run to the Lord whatever the situation is... bc I had no one back way there, only the Lord is wt me...He knew how uncomfortable I was, then He gave me friends, my ministry, the happy family I always wanted... He gave me Zid... but I was a fool, I’ve forgotten the Lord (not all throughout, it’s just that I forgot to pray...) I’ve forgotten Him bc of the happiness He gave me... Lord, I am very sorry for being such a disappointment, hope I can make it up to You, I hope it is never too late.
