I was raised being read with fairy tales by my aunties and uncles. My favorite was the story of Cinderella and I never thought that her story will also be mine. Yes. Less the three step sisters of course. I have a brother though but I love him now. Hehe. Through these books I appreciated reading. That's why at six, I was a fast reader already.
I remember what my Kuya Paolo (cousin) told me when I was in Grade 6. Children shouldn't be exposed to these stories because they will have false hopes. As what he was trying to say.. there's no prince charming or true love or happy ending. Children should be given a dose of reality!
I realized that somehow my cousin was right. So after that, my dream of a fairy tale wedding/happy ever after faded away. But I never lost faith in true love. Yes. It's different. Too much to elaborate. Lol
Then, 2007, the movie Enchanted was released. It was the best fairy tale story ever since it touched the world of reality as well. It reignited my hopes that happy ever after do exists. And the theme song of course!
"I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss..."
HAHAHAHA. Very me. Lol :))))
Despite of my failed relationship, I still hang on to this theme song,.. on this movie. I still believe that true love will eventually find me. :)
Now that Once Upon a Time is airing! :D It's an American TV series that is much like the story of Enchanted where fairy tales and the real world meets. I also found out that my real character now is more of Snow White since she doesn't have any step sisters. Lol. And because the real personality of Snow White is revealed as being cocky and strong-willed. Not the usual prim and proper type of princess.
I am really hooked! I wish I could watch every episode! There are more to reveal with every fairy tale we know. Kids of all ages should definitely watch this! It's not your usual fairy tale. ♥

Today is a learning. Tomorrow is the BEGINNING. :)
And this is me. NOW.
No job. No money. Totally lost. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. :|
Naubos pera ko sa Appco. At wala ko kinita don. Meron naman. Konting konti lang. Tangina. Hindi ko na alam mangyayari sakin. Ang gusto ko lang naman eh oras para sa sarili at pamilya (kung meron man). Ang hirap kasi ng trabaho sa sales. I don't have all the time in the world. Plus ang layo ng bahay ko, pagod pa. Haaaay. Yun lang naman eh. Gusto ko lang kumita ng di nasasagasaan ang leisure time ko. Pwede ba yon???
11-11-11, nawalan ako ng trabaho. HAHA. I resigned. I didn't plan it at all. Inimpulse lang ako ng branch manager namin to finally say I want to quit. And with no further adieu, she told me to get my things. HANEEEEEEP! Di man lang nag "Are you sure?" Lol. Kaloka! eh di yon, GOODBYE.
Kasi naman, 25 kami three weeks ago. Hulaan mo ilan natira?
LIMA. Hehe. Oh diba? Sino ba naman ang gaganahan nyan? Tsktsk. Nakakaiyak lang kasi ayoko pa naman talaga umalis. Though napapagod nako and all, I still want to give myself a chance to make it into that business. Pero yun nga, feeling ko hopeless nadin yung manager ko kaya parang wala na sa kanya. DO OR DIE kumbaga. Sobrang lungkot ko nung araw na yon kasi yun nga, di ko naman sya plinano. Tapos yung HR pa namen na sobrang bait, nalungkot din sa pag-alis ko. I knew from the very beginning that I was her favorite though we barely talk after I got hired. Natuwa din ako sa Country head kasi kinausap pa nya ko and wished me all the best in my next career. Wala lang. Anlungkot though feeling ko nabunutan ako ng tinik kasi naman di nako natutuwa sa nature ng job ko. I never wanted to be a quitter. But in instances like this, I need to address my short term needs as well. Though what we do is for charity, I should be getting money also right?
Hayyy. But in the short span of time, I really learned a lot! I also had fun. The best thing: looking, speaking and behaving professional. Grabe, although feeling ko torture yung ginawa sakin ng company by acting professionally at all times, it did magically transformed me into a lady talaga! Tangina! On my first week, napigilan ko agad magmura! Imagine that????? Hahaha. And I learned how to wear closed shoes and make up. Lol. HAHAHAHA. Kumapal din mukha ko at naboost talaga self-confidence ko. :)
Of all these things that happened to me, I still managed to get something out of it. I remember the calling card I got from a client. She was recruiting me together with my two colleagues from the site in Glorietta. So the day I was officially unemployed, I contacted the woman and after some time I got a reply. The last message I got from her was at 11:11am. I know! Hahahaha. Syempre ginawan ko na naman ng meaning. And then I got goosebumps ng bongga! Nasa dyip ako nun eh pa-Alabang. Tapos kinalma ko sarili ko. Sabi ko, Lord, eto na naman ako. Hindi ko alam kung eto nga talaga yon. Paglingon ko sa likod ng dyip, may nakita akong red car. ZMJ 234 ang plate number. At yun it was : PRU LIFE UK wriiten backwards.
HANEEEEP. Ako na ang decoder! Lol
Eh di yon. Pagkarating ko kila Mara kinwento ko lahat. Sabi nya baka daw Red means STOP. Pero wala. Matigas ulo ko. Sabi ko baka eto na destiny ko. HAHA.
At yun nga, kanina when I attended the interview I was really disappointed. Hindi ko naman kasi alam na yung Financial Planner na post eh yung gingawa ng mga nasa Insurance. I thought office-based pero yun pala Sales din! Haynako bukod pa don ang chaka ng office! Sa Cityland Tower II lang kasi. Hehe. Kaya nga ko umalis sa Appco gawa ng di ako sumasahod eto pa? Eh after three months pa daw kikita at yun eh kung may kikitain din ako. Tssss
Ang arte ko! HAHAHAHA. Pano naman ako magkakatrabaho nito eh ang choosy ko. Lol. Basta yon. Career muna! Hindi nako magpapaapekto kay Innova Boy! Sagasaan ko sya ng Chevy eh! Lol
I got the Title "message" from my previous trainer in Appco. Very inspiring kasi :) Wala lang. Bat ba? HAHA

Why on earth do I believe that destiny exists???
Yes. Ako na talaga ang loser. HAHAHAHAHAHA :|
Siguro ano lang..naniniwala lang ako na lahat ng bagay ay ayon sa kagustuhan ng Dyos. According to His plan. When it comes to love, ayyyy. Positive na positive naman talaga. Ako na GUILTY. Other than that, one thing I could share is when I joined EAGLES in college.
Before that, I remember in high school, I told myself that I will never ever join a sorority. As in. NEVER. Over my dead body. But second semester of my Freshman days, my best friend recruited me. Actually I didn't know it was it na. She just invited me with my dormmates to attend their orientation then we just agreed to come. During the orientation I was shocked to find out their activities and who the members are and what they do. Sobrang iba sa mga inakala ko. Tama. They broke the stereotypes. More on community service and what made me interested are the values of sisterhood, purity, femininity and simplicity they are living.
When the MemcomHead made her testimonial on one of their main activities, I had goosebumps. I knew then that it was destined for me. I was destined to be an Eagle. I presented right away and became a neophyte. The day after that when I head off to Students' dorm after reporting in the tambayan, a frat war broke near Catalan. Guys were running holding rocks. Kagulo sa may gate ng dorm. When I asked what was it, ayun frat war nga daw. I asked what frat and one of the dormer said: Eagles and Molay.
EH YUN PA YUNG DAY NA NAPAIYAK AKO NG ISANG MEMBER. Sobrang iyakin ko naman kasi talaga. Pinipilit nako ng mga roommates ko na magquit kasi nga ganon. Umiyak nako plus may frat war sila. Pero sa loob loob ko lang, ayoko. Ayoko kasi maging quitter. Madami naman ako natutunan in that span of time. Masaya din naman kasi sila at feeling ko magiging masaya din ako kasama nila. Tapos...ehem. Bawal na sabihin yung iba eh. Lol. :p
Ayun, the rest is history. :)
After five years.. deja vu. Yung first and only inapplyan ko, before final interview may pinapanood saming AVP. I wasn't paying attention at all. Pero nung bandang huli na, napapanood ako. Puro achievers yung pinapakita na nagsspeech. Tapos yun. I got chills. During the final interview, the branch manager asked me why should they hire me. At walang kagatol gatol ko sinabi ang nangyari sakin before the final interview that ... I think it's destiny.
Ngayon, second week ko palang pero nahihirapan nako. Anlaki kasi ng gastos ko tapos pagod pa. Anim kami sa batch pero pabawas kami ng pabawas habang tumatagal. Iniisip ko na nga lang sumasali lang ako ng org. Napaiyak narin pala ko ng trainer ko. HAHA :)) Pero yun nga. Ayoko maging quitter. Tsaka analaki ng pinagbago ko since ma-hire ako. Sobrang blessing sakin ng APPCO. Feeling ko lahat ng taong nami-meet ko everyday, may naiiwan sakin na aral. Everyday is meaningful. I get to learn something new. Di man ako yumaman agad, priceless naman kasi yung mga natututunan. Pag iniisip ko na magqquit ako, there is always something inside me na ayaw. Mas malakas yung drive na tuloy lang kahit di ko alam hanggang san dadalhin ang pera ko pang araw-araw. I felt din na lumakas lalo yung faith ko. ^^
Hindi ko alam kung anong mangyayari pero basta. Bahala na. bahala na si Lord. :)
