yes ... yes.. and more yes's
I’m turning 23 in a couple of days and due to the lack of money, I decided to give myself a priceless gift. I am giving myself the gift of optimism. And I’m starting right now.
For the last couple of months, I have been hunting for jobs, passing my resume for every imaginable position. ( a starbucks barista included) so far I’ve been to three interviews: 1) iGMA- mobile content artist 2) Ogilvy & Mathers - Account exec 3) Accenture - some analyst job that I might not get even if they decide to hire me.
I realized that with the unspecificness of the classes that I took in college, it is doubly hard to get me a job. But since I’m being optimistic now, that would mean that I would have more choices in terms of my career path. I just pray that my optimism gets me somewhere.
I have also been co-managing/road managing this band (the title really flips me because I don’t know the distinction of which…I might as well be called the official yaya/ personal assistant of the 7 members and 2 other managers) .. and because I’m being optimistic now, I’d like to think that this is fun and it makes me bloom and become more sociable.
Since I quit my old job as administrative chuchu/artists coordinator/events secretariat last march, I’ve been stuck at home doing chores, taking care of my neice (who finally started her classes last week --- meaning I have more free time) and doing domestic work for the family. And since I’m being optimistic starting right now, I am happy to be helping out at home and making our house more livable.
Truth to tell, I was starting to get really resentful of people who have their lives planned out for them. Stupid. It was really stupid of me to be acting like a child who wasn’t given a lollipop when everyone else got loot bags in a kiddie party. I am happy for these people and I’m glad that they’re not in the same situation that I am in right now. I just hope that they’re helping me pray for my own life being planned out for me.
My not being serious about planning my life, and my want of this bohemian whatever-happens life has finally gotten to me. I want to be obsessive about my career, I want to plan out everything and have things going for me before I reach the tender age of 30, and I want to be able to start saving for my future ( life, love, shopping sprees, hobbies, etc.) And since I’m being optimistic now, I will start thinking that when the timing’s right, I too will be able to achieve these things for myself.
Expect more posts on my optimism and my search for a better life in the days, weeks, months & years to come. Its quite odd to have a turning point in life at a very odd age but what the heck…. Positivity is absolutely better than sulking and self - pity. :)
