Of Getting a Job and Other Things.

I, after months of being unemployed, finally get a job. Actually, this job offer's been waiting for me for months, even before I graduated from college. And then the time came when we finally talked about this job offer. I can still remember it so vividly.

One Sunday after the Feast, Tito Bo and I decided that we should talk about my "job offer". He gave me a week to decide, but instead it took me 3 weeks to decide. And during our annual youth camp, I talked to Tito Bo said that I couldn't accept the job offer. But still, Tito Bo smiled and told me that he understood, and if all else fails, he'll still be willing to give me a job.

So months went by. And well, to cut the long story short, everything else failed. I've applied for so many jobs. Then got other job offers. But they were never the ones that I wanted. And in the end, I returned to my very first job offer. I remember my friends' reactions when they found out that I declined the job offer. I was being too picky, they said. A job offer like that rarely comes, and yet I still had the guts to say no. And now they laugh at me, telling me, "Dun ka din pala babalik". Yeah. But you know what? I am where God wants me to be. He has a purpose of why it took me so long to finally grab that opportunity, just like how long it took for Adrian and I to get together... but hey, that's another story. All that matters is that, I finally have a job, and yes, I'm finally at peace with this decision.
