Someone went here to deliver the goods that my mom are selling. We only met just today and I guess saying personal opinions on our initial conversation is a bit odd-right?

While we were waiting for my mom’s reply on the sms he sent, he just said out of the blue “Tahimik pala dito no? Masarap gumawa ng bahay pag nagkasawa ka na. Basta kahit anong bahay, basta makakatulog ng maayos pwede na. Gaya sa mga pioneers, nagsurvived sila kahit hindi naman ganun kaganda bahay nila.”

I looked at him blankly and I just replied, “Ah ganun ba? I guess hindi naman na practical yun. Bkt? Kasi iba yung panahon noon saka ngayon. If you only think for yourself alone without thinking what will happen in the future, mga anak mo din magsasuffer. Dapat pinaghahandaan yan at bahay yun, you have to make sure that your house can withstand any storms or whatver. Dapat hindi ganun way of thinking mo.”

I think, he got ashamed of his answers (coz I did observe him) and tried to change the topic. He even tried to ask if I went on a mission and all that which I tried to of course, answered all his questions straightforwardly. Like, I believe I’m not oblige to do that and I have other things to fulfill (he agreed with my statement though) for me and my family too.

As the movie Slumdog Millionaire stated, d. All Is Written really got my attention. I’m not a believer in destiny or signs or whatever but I do know that everything’s happen for a reason. Things may not go well as we planned to but at the end of it all, we might get the things that we really deserve-much better that what we wanted.

For me, it’s really good to expect things at its worst. This way you won’t have to sulk too much if we fail or got rejected. Looking back and comparing on how I deal things today are far more different. I always think that there’s a reason why and I have to accept things wholeheartedly-whatever the outcome is.

Rejection is one way to meet the right one. We learn and we tend to omit the things that we usually do if we fail.

Leaving a company is like ditching a boyfriend or breaking up. You have to move on, burn the bridges (if needed) and never look back.

There’s a lot of opportunities out there, much higher salary offer and better benefits than the old one. I’ve been thinking if this is the way for me to take the big step and work on the other opportunity that I’ve been running away from. If I decided to go, it will going to allow me to plow the greener pasteur and send money for my family that is color green.

But, there will be huge sacrifice that I have to make-which is giving up the life that I learned to love. Giving it up might also suffer my family when it comes to usual bills and stuff at present time.

While thinking for which path I should take, I will do my whatever I think is right for now. It may drain me out or make me sick but I don’t care, as long as it would help my mom and dad financially, would that matter?
