For the past few weeks (well, technically only a week), I have been skimming the net for job offers. Hoping that I find a job soon to pass the time because being a bum was becoming too tiring. There's this clichè, "di bale ng tamad, hindi naman pagod" (it's ok to be lazy, atleast you're not tired).

YeAH right, during school days, I never expected yearning to get a job anytime soon right after classes end (Graduation Rites: June 21, 2008.). I was expecting rather, that I'd start 2009, because I was still planning to go to California for a long vacation (visit my grandparents there and cousins!!!). But then again, being lazy turns out to be VERY TIRING . A week since the submission of Thesis (April 21, 2008.) felt like a month to most of us. And because my other summer plans apparently have been suspended (gotta prep up for that long vacation) and is being compensated by longing for that vacation on September, I realized I needed to find a job SOON. Basically for two reasons, income & enough with the bumming!

Because I  had an Educational Course, I prefer my first job to be in the educational setting.  Thought that it might be fun =D being both YOUNG and a TEACHER (I'm 20 by the way). And heck, that was my training... But what school would have an offer that'll accept me before the beginning of the school year and then allow me to leave after the first quarter?

After my first interview at the sacred heart school, I came back the next working day and decided to withdraw the application. Being torn between starting to work or fulfilling what I have been longed so much since high school. I will travel after graduating college.

I told Miss Juan, the director that I'd just be a volunteer since I cannot commit the whole 10 months. (and since I really wanted to be in a school setting and work AS SOON AS POSSIBLE). Results were favorable when they agreed to accept me until September 1, 2008 and at the same time I get to have an allowance from them.

It was somewhat an impulsive decision to agree upon and sometimes it made me wonder if I made the right one, considering also the fact that it's going to be 8am-5pm inside the school, even when classes are already over.

My morning class was over at around 11:30 and I was thinking "what now?...." , "I sure love to go home already". In attempt to pass time, I started reading the newspaper (which I normally DON'T DO! haha) Started browsing the current events page and economy pages (yeah yeah, the Philippines is under lots of Dilemma, what's new..) but somehow it affects me now because I'm going to be or rather already one of those "employees" affected by such economic crisis. After a while, I slept... haha... then later on... began helping with the classroom decors.

Thank goodness I brought my I-pod, I knew it would be handy at some point. It made me then thinking... if I go home now, what will I do? ... I realized I'd be doing the same... DOING NOTHING.
At least now, i got to know new people and I have somebody to talk to. (even though I'm not talking much there anyway... haha) At least, I read the newspaper... that's good right? Being productive instead of staying hours infront of the computer like what I'm doing right now.

More realization on my first day & on the "REAL WORLD", but I'll be leaving those to make kwento (stories) to my friends.

Oh well, as of now... I'm enjoying the feeling of going back to school again.
