My first few weeks here in Manila were a bit typical and type-casted to what is expected to be felt by a promdi boy. There are certain moments where I say ” I miss my home, I miss the fresh air i breathe each time I wake up…”, but things needed to change, and I forced myself to change and adjust. It’s hard at first, but I got the hang of it. But kidding aside doing this particular transition is hell, its hard but I told myself I need to this so that I could reach my goals somehow in one way or another. … In which I did ![]()
I went here in Manila to find a certain “truth”, I want to actually see if I could excel in a different field. “Ang hirap pala!” That is when I realized one truth about what is happening in our country. I applied here and I applied there, any company where my JOBSTREET application tells me so. “Ang hirap ng buhay, sa hirap ng buhay, makikipagsabakan para sa isang position”…. There’s the fear coming to a point that you want to give up and quit, losing your balance standing still thinking whether you’ll be able to do this or not. But i still gave it a shot no matter what other people can or might say about my decision, my way of thinking.
For how many days and weeks have passed, one company called me up and told me to give them a shot (which I did), and they gave me a chance to prove my worth, my capabilities to do what is bounded for that said position. I got scared, I didnt know where to turn to. But along the way, I was able to meet new friends and see new faces in a newfound environment, a new found field. But there was a point in that time that something is telling me to step back that this is not a “calling” but someone in that new found faces that Ive met said something about “TRUSTING IN HIM”. I wasnt able to thank this person yet (i’ll just make a reminder for this one!)
Now, “nasa floor na kami”, and the only thing that is keeping us together is the bond and friendship that we’ve made since the very first day we saw each other. Learning from each other and trusting each other. No matter what our decisions may be, we can never erase the fact I was able to meet good people like them and that’s what we can call TREASURES of a lifetime ![]()
“Saan man tayo mapadpad, I’m always here…”
