We all get that one day we can truly separate from other days. Well, for some it's nothing but a "good day", but for the more sentimental people (referring to myself, but not necessarily just myself) it could be that day where it all felt right and everything just fell into place in lieu of yesterday's bleakness or... animossssity. *with a hiss*
It's quite amusing how a series of random encounters can open your eyes to a whole new day. Like how today's Ayala-venture can be distinguished from the rest. Apparently after that disgusting stool lab test I was ranting about for days on end, I found myself craving for everything Almond Biscotti from the love of my life-- CBTL. I met this man I decided I now look up to while I was clumsily chomping on my biscotti. He's an English writer from United Kingdom, but he went to college in Madrid, and now he's working with Gawad Kalinga and is in the midst of writing his book. I happened to sit beside him in one of the half-couches and he started asking for my opinion about the younger generation of Filipinos' lack of interest in agriculture, particularly farmers' children who should be continuing their family legacy, down to how cultural differences are interesting (he finds it crazy that we're so superstitious our buildings don't have a 13th floor), how he interviewed Gloc 9 last week but Gloc 9 couldn't express himself clearly in English that he was fidgeting althroughout, and what I think about the Buckingham Palace and the royal family itself. But basically it was all about how he loves the Philippines so much and how engaging it is to go back and forth Gawad Kalinga's enchanted farm that he's really determined to finish this book. It's great to meet such intellectual people with a heart for what they do. Sappy to say that it's inspiring, but hey, it is.
Sappier to think it was divine intervention because it happened an hour before I got a job. I thought that I was not given a job opportunity right after graduation because I should not settle for anything less than what I really want.
(I got too giddy signing papers that I got the date wrong. February na girl, haha)
And I did it! I did say that I would never work for a banking institution, but I guess I was wrong on that part. But I am in Human Resources!! Yesss!! I was really close to settling for customer relations/front desk (claiming I have no right to choose being a fresh graduate), but God has His ways. He does.
But the very thing that's keeping me in good spirits is the feeling of self-fulfillment. I never expected I'd be getting a job through Jobstreet.
1,403 other applicants. Oh, Lord. I am forever grateful.
