blag or wyt…jara!!!

Two years of unemployment was quite a trauma for me. I went through a "quarter life crisis", found life meaningless and had become stagnant. It was my choice though. I was insisting on finding a job related to field and was quite ambitious on doing my part to help improve the fisheries industry in my province. I stood by my idealism for some time until reality slapped me on the face! My bro was going to college and nans was sick and I also got pissed with all those "feeling close" folks who made an issue on my being "inutil". The good thing with my tambay period was I improved on some skills like babysitting, household chores and had a lot of time to bond with my friends. It was not enough, though, I had this yearning for self-improvement and search for my Personal Legend. I got tired of crying, self-pity, bureaucracy and a self-esteem below sea level. Then came this call last January 3,2005. My friend referred me for a call center job. I was shocked and had doubts if I’ll get through with the routines for employment. After the initial interview, I was requested to take a written exam  in Cebu.Toink! I was very willing to go but the big question is where will I get my funds? Then fate took over. The HR Personnel called again and informed me of their job fair in CDO. Thiz iz it! I cannot deny that I was really discouraged that I will pass their rigorous process because when I arrived in the venue it was swarming with professional looking dudes and dudettes. And they were really good English speakers. But I took courage in the thought that I was doing it for my family and myself also. Pabaga ug nawong and of course I prayed, a lot! It was then a series of fortunate events. I just found myself sitting in the conference room with 20 pax for the job offer and contract signing.

And here I am now in the business capital of the Philippines reporting for duty on the newly opened first ever call center building in the country. I never expected I can ever survive here. I am such a "promdi" gal that I’d prefer staying in rural areas. However, I am learning to be "urbanized" at the same time happy.

Yes, I am a fisheries grad working on a call center but for now I have to be practical and find the means to live and thrive in this cruel world. My system is still yearning for exposure on the fisheries field but maybe it will be for the next series of fortunate events…
