Earlier this day, my brain received some signal that the trip we planned had to be put off. It wasn’t a vacation of some sort as the trip was work-related. So when the cancellation was confirmed, I was relieved.
For a week now, I’ve been hopping from city to city—sleeping only when inside the bus or any public transport. I was almost on the road for days, doing work stuffs in internet cafes whenever the need arises. I know that I looked like most dorks carrying expanded folders and a bag pack bulging with everything and clothes. It was really degrading when mall guards check my bag pack and everything inside it wanted to say hello.
The Philippine Eagle Week will end today (closing program 6-9 PM at SM DAvao). I was barely “there” for the event. I only had last Sunday’s afternoon to feel the “fun-spirit.” Although tired after hours and hours of editing some stuffs…which actually more of rewriting those stuffs…I had fun watching kids posing for pictures during the “animal encounter” at SM Davao. It really was a tiring week but thanks to some friends, I was able to do all my targets with their generous help.
Next Saturday will be my first day as a graduate student. Wheee! It took me 2 years to wait for this. Just how happy I am that I was able to pay for my fees and my brother’s tuition, no one probably had the slightest idea. I am only earning a meager pay of 4500 (benefits and taxes not yet subtracted) a fifteenth. I probably have the most low-paying among the very demanding jobs…and there are times that I resent things in this line of work. But, as long as I am not too fed up and tired, I will keep going.
I don’t know how hard life is for others so every time I hear good news from friends, I feel most happy for them. If life is difficult for me, I don’t want to make it difficult for others. That’s not being nice, kind or altruistic…that’s being fair when everything seemed to be not.
