Happiness Overshadowed ...

Image
12 hours ago, I started a brand new chapter in my life but I didn't know that only 8 hours after, I'd feel a sudden pang of regret. The first day was far better than I expected it to be. I gained new friends and become closer to some. We had a blast during the whole orientation and I knew I was happy. I took my seat in the shuttle service knowing that tomorrow will be much better than today. But then one text, one call, made  all the happiness fade and made me doubt my own decision.   Habang nakasakay ako sa bus na maghahatid sa akin pauwi, hindi ako mapakali. It's like my brain and my heart knows that I've made a wrong decision. Paulit-ulit kong binasa ang text sa aking cellphone . I just let my biggest opportunity pass.  May mga bagay pala talaga na minsan kailangan mong tanggapin dahil na rin sa ito ang naging desisyon mo. Maybe I was too hasty and too excited to find stability that I ended up not really looking deep into things and I didn't really weigh ...

Who wants to be a DIVERGENT? Put your hands up!

Who wants to be a DIVERGENT? Put your hands up! I am not a critique, seemingly so expert on all the tit-and-tat of the dystopian genre. I won't be reviewing its plot since many have already pointed out the content of this book and what you can find. My review will solely be on my own feeling on reading this book. This book review is a bit late since I've finished book almost 2 months ago. Well I've been meaning to have this book reviewed but the holiday season caught up and my interviews came pouring so I didn't have the time. Now, I'm free so better that I do my review of this book.First of all, this book is just an accidental read that I had because I was browsing through the goodreads recommended books and hey I saw this goodread choice of the year so I tried. And here's what I think of it. I am not really a fan of dystopian novels and the only series that I've read by far is the Hunger Games. To be honest, the first pages of the book got me conf...

and then what now...?

A week of nerve wracking interviews and tests. Almost 3-hour long rides just to go the test and sometimes interview venue just to have a spare 15-30 minutes of the interviewer's time. And then, what do I get? Still, I'm not sure. Graduating, I thought everything will be a little easier than sit through 5-hour long classes and having to face the multitude of examinations that I'm not even sure I'll pass. Now, looking back, I wish I wasn't so eager to get my diploma and go out to the real "world" aka the industry. I'm saying this for the sole reason that I'm not yet equipped with all the things that I need to survive the jungle where all the experienced people turned out to be the winners. I am not an achiever when I was in college, we didn't even have an OJT and for the record, I'm not an active student during those days. These things, the things that I should have had back then, are what keeps me from finding the job that I would r...

Just When I Thought...

First of all... Happy New Year!♥ I've been out for over...oh well since I can remember. It's just that lately I've been doing a lot of things that needs my complete focus and attention...namely the board examination, family gatherings, etc. Right now, almost all of it is over, I already passed the boards and the holiday spirit is already dwindling. The only important thing that is bothering me right now is having to find a job. And by a job, I mean THE JOB that I think, would be suitable for me. Just when I thought that passing the board exam was the hardest, finding a job proved to be a lot tougher. Don't get me wrong, I'm job hunting and I have upcoming interviews but I'm torn and I have to let some steam out of my system by blabbing here.  As we grow old, everything that seemed to be so simple back then become so much more confusing... I really want to have a work in no time. A work that will give a good pay. One which will challenge me and he...
