This afternoon seemed like the longest. I stepped inside the bathroom and sit in front of the mirror. In front of me is a reflection of a girl who still resembles the girl she once was few years back. Not that she never aged a bit.
This is just one of those days when I feel like life is a slow-motion for me. Right now, I am still in my grueling pursuit to finding a job. It is not easy. Nobody said it is. I spent most of my days sending out resume and application letters to job hirings that I see in the Classified Ads or at Monster.com or Careerbuilders. The following day after that I send them an e-mail for a follow-up, or better yet call them. If the name of the company is not confidential, then by all means I would “google” their address and personally hand-in my resume. I tried all these…but so far, none seem to work.
I still believe there is a job meant for me- and intended just for me. And whenever God will disclose that opportunity for me I am still patient (or at least trying to be). There are just moments when I am so agile to start my job-hunting routine. And inevitably, there are also times when I just want to give up. Unfortunately another day hit me and left me down in the dumps.
Manang Ror,
you have not applied or looked for a job for a long time. If there’s someone who should give up, it should be me but I still have hopes up. So, you should be too. Remember TS got a job here in MN after 2 months of job search. Not to mention he’s got solid work experience.
Just don’t give up. We will find the job that suits us best. Let’s just sing Sir Glen’s song:
“Blankly staring,
my head keeps turning
trying to find my place in this world.
Void and perplexed
empty silence
trying to find the meaning of life.”
hehehe! sakto gyud ka mita…mao gyud na nga song ang nagplay on and on in my head while i am making this blog.
“is this what they call the curse of youth,
nothing seem to value, no matter what I do?
blankly staring, my head keeps turning…
breaking us apart.”
Ray, God saw you that you do your best to find a job. I’m sure later on God will do the rest and soon He will give you a job that will suit on you. Just enjoy the days that you are free. When you have a job you will be missing those free days in your life. And I will be missing it too,.. you being with us on the Conference Room.
should I say …. america is not a bed of roses.
you’re right MaMadon, it is definitely not a bed of roses. we have to milk our own cow but how to find the cow? that’s also my struggle. but sige lang… God will provide.
yes mamadon, maria is neither a bed of roses or a place of milk and honey. one has to work. but with the economic recession that we are facing right now, our question is- where are those jobs?
you just said it mita…and worse, so many people are also looking for a cow to milk.
WAAAAHHHH!!! adto ta sa New Zealand toa didto daghan cow. Kulang sila sa taw to milk them. God will provide everything for us as long as you trust him and you give your part too.
religiously nycorn ka mamadon! hahaha!
pero i must admit nakakatawa ko sa hirit ni mamadon!
that’s what sisters are for….always there to laugh at the other’s jokes. heheh!
correct correct! i was struggling looking for a job. That’s when I realized I need a cow where I can get a milk but we only have bison and buffaloes near in town… wala pa ako nakitang cow since I came here hehehehe
