Paranoia, confusion, and the random ideas in between

OK. HONESTLY? I don't know where my life is going right now. Quarter life crisis, is that you?!

First there's the employment (or lack of it). I planned on working in June but seems like I won't have a job in time for the start of June. I would start working before June if the job is something I really like OR if the pay is really good even if it's not my dream job. I'm afraid that everyone else has a job while I don't. As of today I turned down two interviews already. I feel bad about turning down the first one. The second one, I don't even remember the name. haha It's just that I don't see myself in that career.

I did make a few back up plans for the month of June.
1. Take kickboxing or the real boxing. At the very least jog around the village. But I want boxing more. 
2. Enroll in photography classes once get my slr. I recently found out my late grandfather Lolo Jaime has a manual SLR somewhere here. I'll search for it soon and buy some good ol' film. Can't wait to get my dslr too! yahoooey!
3. Work for my dad. I actually like this one. haha One, I don't need to wake up at 6 AM everyday to get to the office. Two, I can manage my own time. And three, I can travel to places where dad goes. haha He jokes about it often. He said 'mag unahan tayo. Pag natapos ko na yung mga kailangan ko tapos wala ka pang trabaho, dito ka na.'  I'm very thankful to have this offer. But of course I don't want him to think that I don't want to find a job anymore since he offered me one. Hay, I just know that the right job for me will come. Maybe it's this or maybe not.

I am currently watching Kara David on I-witness. She mentioned she's in the town of Rizal, Palawan. This is  where the tallest tree (Manguis) in Southeast Asia is rooted and where the beautiful birds of the Philippines flock. And then an idea came upon me- maybe I could be a nature photographer and environmentalist like Mr. Cede Prudente of Sabah, Malaysia. He was featured in Trip na Trip. His parents are from Iloilo City but migrated to Malaysia. He was born in Malaysia as well but mentioned that he is aware of his Filipino roots. (I actually believe he's a relative of one of my kabarkada in highschool- Kassy Prudente. I'll ask her nga when I visit Iloilo soon. haha)

So there. Such a random post. Oh, Isadora is back from Beijing! Can't wait to see what she got for me. haha We're planning to visit Corregidor (and hopefully Zambales) soon. NOT overnight in Corregidor though- I'm scared!!! haha

Yesterday we went to SMX to check out the food fair. I saw Veejay Floresca. He was friendly-really. I was sitting at Travel Cafe when he passed by. I quickly recognized him (yeah, hello Project Runway) so I smiled. He smiled back probably thinking to himself I'm a Project Runway fan. hahaha nice one!
