Reality bites

Summer's officially over. Well, the heavy rain, the start of classes and graduates are starting to work are just some of the few proofs. And one day, I found myself missing school. Like, "What the hell? Is this for real? I am now labeled as unemployed. Nooooooooo :((" But yes, I need to move on and I have to face the new chapter and season of my life. 

Some of my batch mates started working one month after our graduation and I was like, seriously? You already! Ha ha ha. Hello, batchmates. *insert peace sign here* But nah, seriously. When I graduated, my Mom asked me when do I plan to work and I told her that I might take a few months to rest then find out where I'll get from there. BUT I don't want to work yet. Not that early. Not this early. I am glad that my parents aren't pressuring me to work as soon as I can and I love how they tolerate my "bum-ness". Ha ha ha. Honestly, whenever I receive phone calls from various companies and I tell it to them, they're like, "Wag mo muna puntahan. Wag ka magmadali. Pahinga ka muna." Yes, I have the best parents. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. But I think they're like that because:

 1. When I start working, I cannot have absences as long as I want. I cannot go straight to my boss and tell him, "Hey. I'm gonna be absent because my parents want to go out with me or my bed misses me and we're going to bond for a day." My boss might just kick me out of his office. Ha ha. Unlike in school where they have allowed maximum absences for a semester. I might lose my job early when I do that. Lol. 

2. My time will be divided because work requires me to be in the office 8 hours a day and 5 days a week. Not to mention, I guess my mom will have separation anxiety (Ha ha ha!!) when I start working because we almost spend every day with each other. Mom, I'm gonna have to neglect our food trip dates and endless chikahan. Sorry.

3. It will be the start of me being a grown up. I am not Mommy and Daddy's little girl anymore. I don't know but I just have that feeling that I am required to be more responsible, more independent, more sociable and a lot more. Now, I don't have a teacher/professor whom I can ask when I am in great confusion. I only have myself to figure things out. Experience is now my teacher. Omg, Maica.


As I open the first page of this new chapter, I looked back on how my college life had been and I will always miss it. I will always want to go back from those times when we feel like we are careless kids running around because we are having too much fun to care for the world.

But I guess, this is it. This is life. This is the real world. I will not be labeled as unemployed this coming Monday. Hence, I am now a working girl. I am nervous. That's a fact. But I know, I am not doing it just by myself. My Lord is guiding me and will bless me with all the things that I will be needing. I am confident about it. I just have to trust in His plans and know that His plans are the greatest. Whatever job He has put me at the present, I know that He has reasons and I'm just on my way to find out what that is. 

xx,
Maica
