of losing and gaining..

And so I decided to resign. That was December 30, I just waited for the 13th month pay and 30th paycheck, then I signed my going papers and hand it to my supervisor.

I told my supervisor that the night shift took its toll on me and that I thought I was getting crazy. But that was only some version of the truth. Truth was, I was really hurting because some asshole broke my heart and I cant function properly at work.

I recovered. But I was jobless L

My sis was worried because I didn’t have a job. She was worried because I might borrow money from her and she cant like lend me money everytime I need money because shes got her own family to support. She told me that via text. I told her not to worry, everything’s under control.

I started looking for a day job. And I almost nailed one. A sales rep for a copier company. I got a call and the voice from the other line told me to swing by the office to get a list of requirements. Why cant they give it to me over the phone? I asked my self. I was running low on cash. But still I went to Makati just to get a piece of paper and go back to Novaliches QC. I read through the list on the way home. The list is numbered from 1 to 15. 15 requrements just for a sales rep position? What the hell. I didn’t come back to their office to pass the requirements they are asking of me.

Daming etse buretse.

I fould myself walking the halls of another call center company with a resume on hand the following Monday, hopeful to land a job.

I was running out of money, and I didn’t think the money I had will last me for another month.

I was desperate.

One call center company after the other, running low on cash, losing hope, upset, sad and most of all regretful. That I resigned from my previous job. I was doing great, I was a regular employee and my job was really easy. What was I thinking?

I lost two things that I was really fond of.

My high end phone.

My PSP.

I posted them on ebay and were sold in no time.

But I got the money to last me for another month and to pay for my apartment rent.

So I continued looking for a job. And searching for the meaning of life as well. Haha.

I almost got hired by this US based credit card company based in Makati, but I didn’t know that they’re very strict when it comes to their employees own financial situation.

They found out I was behind with my two credit cards because of unemployment.

I didn’t get the job.

F*ck them.

I didn’t lose hope. I applied again and set appointments for job interviews. This time I tried this call center that’s 5mins away from where I live.

To cut it short, I got hired. Hallelujah. After 2 months, finally.

So now, I have a job, im earning money.

But I don’t have a boyfriend…………hehehehehe

I was doing fine though. V-day was approaching.

Until “R” sent me a text message.

“Happy Valentines day Grace. I miss talking to you. Text me when you get time.”
