Marga and I are having problems nailing a job.  We got so excited and hyped over the thought of emancipation and owning our very own house, we get easily frustrated when a job interview goes to nowhere.

Has anyone noticed how hard it is to nail day jobs?  It’s like looking for a hooker who looks like Angelina Jolie (without the pregnant belly).  I know for a fact I can’t work nights anymore.  My mom is petrified at the thought of having my seizures again.*  So here I am, desperately seeking that next day job and hopefully be satisfied with it.

*When I lack sleep and adequate rest, I get partial seizures.  My entire left arm goes numb and so does the left side of my face.  Fuh-reaaaaky.

I took a good look at my resume and saw that it’s been two years since I graduated and I am yet to settle down.  I mean, loyally work for a company.  I guess that’s what makes job hunting twice as hard:  I actually want to grow this time, not just to have money to buy shoes (though that will always and forever be a valid reason to do physical labor).  I actually want to get somewhere. 

I am close to desperate actually.  This morning, I posted this on my Y!M status:  I am sooo jobless.  In a flash, everyone in my list just started asking for my CV, saying they’ll find me one in their company.  A grade school friend, whom I haven’t seen for the past 10 years, actually offered me a job in her mom’s company.  Damn.  Desperate is the word.

Dylan is actually settled now.  He’s having a perfectly good time at ePerformax, which to be honest,  I am beginning to envy.  HOWEVER, it’s the first time that I actually saw him willing and enthusiastic in a job.  From what he tells me, he seems to have pretty good peers to.  But he did emphasize that there’s nothing like our wave in CVG.  Yeah.

Just this afternoon, he told me he wants to be a trainer in the company.  Whoa.  Talk about longevity and permanence.  I’m pretty proud of him.  It’s actually his first time to set a goal/career path.  He usually just does what his parents tell him.  I guess that’s what emancipation does to a person.

WHICH IS WHY I CAN’T WAIT TO BE EMANCIPATED!

But that is such a long shot.  I have come to terms that the average Filipino family has too many debts, they can’t afford losing one of the contributors in the household income.  I don’t mind.  Giving my share every pay day actually makes me feel better.  I can see the ease my parents get every time I hand them the slice of my pie, and to be honest, it’s nice to see that I somehow bring comfort to them.

Of course, that last happened a couple of months ago because right now, I am UNEMPLOYED.

Sheesh.

I’m going to Makati tomorrow with a vengeance.

Don’t forget to watch this year’s Cinemalaya!  It’s will absolutely be the best experience you’ll have this year. :)  From what I’ve heard, tickets are at P100. :)
