A job, at last...

After those gruelling months of waiting and searching, applying from one company to the other with my best corporate attire possible, I finally landed on a job. A job not that I wanted really but a job that would finally pay the bills and would be a lucrative endeavor to at least help my survival in this harsh world. Let's just say the dream job has been quite elusive, so I used my brain and settled for the best possible option.

For the past months, I have tried everything to look and search for it (the so-called dream job a.k.a. impossible dream), and whenever I do find it, it's either I am caught in such a bad timing and worst circumstances. They would always say that they stopped hiring, something came up, yada, yada, yada. The hell with those reasons, the hell with my dream job. I had to settle and at least sustain my lifestyle, which has been so boring and so frugal these past months (ges, one can only imagine). So that became my eye-opener and my sign to actually start working again.

Actually, I was accepted with a handful of companies. Majority of the companies that accepted me the soonest were call centers. The call center industry in the Philippines has been the bread and butter of almost 75 percent of fresh graduates in the country, primarily because of lack of job opportunities and the monetary rewards. I am not a fresh graduate, but I started my career from there. The results were rewarding and it was a great experience, really but, ahm, I started looking and searching after that, after my shortlived career in the call center industry. I have had two regular jobs after that, and after almost a year and a half, I am back in the same nature of the business, teh call center industry.

I am supposed to start tommorow, and I think there's no backing up. I don't have any butterflies in my stomach and I convinced myself already that this is the best option. This may not be the best decision of all time but this one I have to make. And now, right at this very moment, this is the best decision and the right thing to do. I had to earn as much money as possible, so that I can do what I want to do.

Money is everything in this world. A world where money is truly a very important commodity, in fact a necessity to influence to buy your daily needs, buy your leisure time, support the sport you want. The list just goes on and on. Money is indeed an object that makes the world revolve around you. This was a lesson that took me months of being unemployed to learn and realize that if you have no money, you're basically nothing and worthless.

I kept my hopes up. And now, it led me nowhere. It timewarped me from the time I first started working. And now I am here in the same business again. I had no regrets, I guess history just keeps on repeating itself. But I still have that tiny spark in my being, I know what I want, and sooner or later, I would have to open my dream cabinet again and reach out for that dream I have set aside to survive.

Only time will tell. Only God will plot my fate.
