"It was a mistake"

"It was a mistake" said my mom referring to my old work. I didn't see it that way though, I had fun while I was there but she was right. I was so excited to work back then and when I was interviewed and the boss oriented me with the organization and the work will be doing I got so excited and I said yes. I didn't know that my parents especially my mom was against it. She didn't tell me. It's been four months since I last went there and still I'm having a hard looking (or waiting) for another job. She keeps on saying til today "You working there was a complete mistake. We (she and my dad) didn't know that you accepted that job already, you should've waited" but it was too late.

I didn't feel that it was a job. I feel that it was more of an internship because of the environment and how fun it was working with my officematee besides where on earth will you find a department that is filled with UP grads and within your age range. We had a blast! It was more of a party for me than real work. I wished it lasted longer but I think God has his way of saying "Enough is Enough".

Thankfully though I still have communication with my former officemates and we can party everytime we want, that is if we have the money to partey!

Funny thing also how my future boss (since I'm not yet officially hired) calls me whenever I feel down and want to give up and look for another job. But she has the right timing everytime! She never fails to call me, or I'll call her, every week and I must say every week she has a good news for me. Thank God.

Yeah, I guess it was a mistake to accept a job without thinking long term but it was a mistake that I learned and gained a lot. It was a beautiful mistake. It was a lesson learned.

As the saying goes, making a mistake without correcting the it is like making another mistake. We should all learn from our own mistakes.

Is it a good thing or a bad thing when someone tells you that you act and think mature for your age? Two people that I used to have a thing for told me that I act and think mature for my age and it didn't go well for me, we ended up not talking after that. Haha! Was it their way of saying "you're too mature for me? and I don't like you"?

Whatever it is, as my friend said, "I'm not mature enough, it's just that my parents raised me well" And that's soooo true. :)

The Call

As I was watching the afternoon gossip show, my phone rung and I answered it without knowing who it was -- the number is not yet registered on my phone. To my surprise, the caller was a 'he'. So we talked, kamustahan lang, he asked questions about something and I was answering it naman. Then suddenly he was like "Uhm I wanted to ask you this before pa... Ung relationship status (referring to Facebook), ok ka na ba?" I answered "Ha? Anong relationship?" I thought he was asking me about my relationship status. He further explained it "I've been hearing and reading things about you and it's not good. People are being rude behind your back and I was like "teka lang, unfair naman ata sa'yo un" Kasi nasubabayan ko naman ang story nyo and I know what really happened"

I replied "I don't know what people are saying about me because I don't care really coz the same as you are, I know what REALLY happened and I know the truth. I have no hard feelings to anyone. If there are still people making big fuss about everything I say or do, it's their problem man not mine. I'm not gonna stoop to their level, I know better." And we just both laughed. Things like that make a good topic for chikahan. I'm glad that happened! LOL

It was the call the changed my whole mood today. To the caller, thank you for calling. We're not that close but I really appreciated those words -- written and not written here -- you gave me. Yay! You made me happy until tomorrow. Haha! I guess I'll be seeing you soon? Hmm we'll see.
