I used to have a professor way back high school who I can say was my confidant. Hidden desires, I'm not sure, but he was really there to help. He claimed he was a fan, of my writings, my skills, and my ability to do things beyond my capacity. He knew I was gonna be big someday, and now he thinks I am. I smiled and said, "hindi pa, minimum pa din ang sahod ko. Maybe next year." He thought I was kidding. He shrugged the issue like a real fan would.
If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have thought highly of myself. And I really am grateful. Or maybe that's his way of motivating me, I don't really know. But one thing is for sure, it effected me in a positive way. Thanks, "insan".
Now I think there's a valid reason why things like these change. In high school, I wanted to become a director. To win a FAMAS, and get rich. But when I got in the industry, the dream died a natural death, and then I'm suddenly editing videos. Still, it's the same industry, but in editing, things are less controversial, and the politics is rarely acknowledged. I used to dream of being in the limelight, now, I stay away from it in every way I could. This is the life I suddenly wanted.
Yesterday, I got another offer for an insurance, now with Axa. Everyone I know has one, and I thought it's about time I get one for myself. But another question, am I financially ready? Or am I ready in general? I guess April has more to it than making jokes, I'll start making a future plan.
I've had someone account my money for me for the last eight months, but now I think it's about time I do it myself. My allowable spendings, my savings, bills payments, and more. But more than that, I think I need more money. It's either I get more shows, or I get a better paying job. Chinno insisted that I move to Singapore and work there since the opportunities are close to limitless. He sees my potential and is not happy that I deprive the world of such talent, by just editing a weekly show. (Okay, I might have added a few adjectives here and there, but I'm sure that's what he meant. HAHAHH)
According to him, one reason why Japan is having a very difficult time to recuperate from the earthquake is because they never made themselves international. They didn't study the english language too well because they were better off on their own feet. But now that everything fell apart for them, they couldn't penetrate the nearby Asian countries. Chinno didn't want me to become Japan, sticking to what I think is my strength. I need to make myself international. Same goes with my World Stage family who wanted me to move in Malaysia, "working abroad is like an instant promotion. I don't see why you shouldn't be working here."
Now, work's been really great. I got rid of the stress factors that I've been dealing with for the past nine months. I don't have any reason to leave my current job except the monetary compensation in Singapore is soooooo good. And I think I really need to get myself in the "working mood". I kinda lost it in editing, where I hold my own time, go to work whenever I feel like it. Though there may be deadlines and rules, they aren't disciplinal. Not that there's any need to make it difficult, but the job is too easy for me. Or maybe I've mastered it this early, everything's a breeze from this point on. Lucky me.
If I had an 8-5pm working hour schedule, I think I will gain more discipline. Not that I'm not disciplined now. Ahahah!
Another random thursday. Can't wait for the weekend. I'll be taking photos of my tita's Jubilee celebration at the Carmel of St. Joseph parish. It's about time I give back to her for being so supportive and a loving aunt at that. She's the head superior of the Carmelite nuns by the way. And she's celebrating her 25th year of being a mother to the Carmel. Can't wait. =)
Here's a song that inspired me to write this blog.
Somewhere Only We Know by Keanne.

If the right person comes along, I'll sing to you this song. And hopefully when I do, you'll say yes and walk with me too. AD23

| In high school, my friends used to come over and sleep at our place while watching tons of DVDs. Last night, two of my best high school friends came over and went back some five years back. Thanks Jemae and Nonon. It's always a pleasure being the third wheel. AHHAHA! |
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete
Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?
Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know
Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go? So why don't we go?
Oh, this could be the end of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know
