Hello, Real World.
Posted by kaktus at 08:09 AM on May 11, 2012.
As my usual line goes, I haven't been blogging for quite some time! Almost a month and a lot has happened. I mean, a lot has been happening and I just haven't been blogging about it. I'm more active in FB! Don't worry Tabbie, I haven't abandoned you, I'm just loving the attention. Heh.
I graduated 3 weeks ago and now, hours from now, I'll be getting my NBI clearance for my pre-employment requirements. Also, a Physical Exam, SSS and TIN. Smells like the world of productive and legit members of the society!
YES THAT'S RIGHT. Me, the same high school junior who was pondering what road she's going to take in college 6 years ago is now talking about employment. That's how old we are, Tabbie. From petty rants about prom dresses, now we're diving into the more serious stuff. I will be starting on a job soon. I applied for it as my adviser and I are still fixing my undergraduate thesis and next thing I know, I'm having my picture taken with the Oblation. Oh, time. You sneaky thing. Hahaha!
Long story short, after 3 interviews, 2 styling tests, a written exam and submitting a sample of my written works, I'm hired! :D
My happiness is a double-edged sword though. I can't express the real depth of my gratitude and excitement knowing some of my close friends who have also graduated recently are still looking for jobs. I mean, how can you be fully happy when some gets a little jaded with the whole job hunt thing. Hang in there, guys! Patience and prayers are best.
I will still have to take the board exams though and I know it's going to be tough juggling work and review but I don't know. I'm not being cocky but I think I can manage without the review classes most of my blockmates will be taking. I just need extreme determinaton and focus (hello UPCAT review sessions part 2!) to be able to pull this off. Also, leeching powers for review materials. Hahaha! It can be done. *crosses fingers and gameface on look*
THANK YOU, LORD. My heart is full. You have given me so much and for that I will do my best. Parents and friends. Expect a libre soon. Once I'm done with the nitty-gritty of pre-employment, let's toast to the best that is yet to come. :) (I really love this line, don't I? Hehe. ) As a product of the State University, here's to serving the people! :'D
just today...

Miss B walks right into the lab, her eyes slightly swollen like she cried the night before, her cheeks starting to show signs of swelling, was obviously late, and apparently shaken.
"Alam mo bang pinagbuhatan ako ng kamay ng tito ko kagabi dahil sinabi kong hindi maganda yung ginagawa nya sa kapatid nya?"
And I just wasn't able stop myself from letting out a gasp of horror.
"Akalain mong hanggang alas-tres ng madaling araw kanina eh nagkakagulo kami dahil sa kagagawan nya?"
She proceeded to tell me about how her uncle was asking his sister to sign a certain document that would make him a sort of employee (a ghost employee in short) in the department she (the aunt) was working in, and how she (Miss B) did not agree to that... And how she took that blow to the face that also landed a spot in her poor old lola who happened to be standing behind her, and how they both fell to the ground.
Miss B was trying really hard to fight back tears, as she sort of struggled to tell me how she really wanted to fight back, but then, she remembered her condition (she had an operated right shoulder [all the way to her breast, actually] that might receive more blows) and her grandmother who might get in the middle of the brawl.
...and I'm still quite shaking until now.

It's only been months, but I feel like it's been a year (probably more).
I've never thought I'd be feeling more at peace with myself.
Now, I kinda know what I want:
I'm not going to ask for things for myself anymore. I'm asking for the betterment of his life: that things would get in line so he could finally free himself from the situation that he's in. Never mind if we'll be together or not, I just hope that his life gets better, period.
My lil' bro's been acting a little waaay to weird these days, I wonder what's up?
