lucky me

Ten minutes ago, I felt completely different. But after I read a blog of whom I presume is a fresh graduate and also a newbie in the corporate jungle, I suddenly realized how lucky I am. She wrote her whole day's experience, starting off with her attempt not to be late on that day, then on to the HR Personnel who made them wait for two and a half hours (without lunch or snack at all) and lastly to feeling like a total loser after taking the test. I feel ever so fortunate that I didn't have to get through all that hassle just to get a job. I'm absolutely thankful that they gave me a job in my Tita's company and that I'm in such a copacetic position for that matter. I now understood all that bantering my Mum showered me when I clearly explained to her that there are numerous good offers out there and that I know what I'm capable of doing and that I should try to explore them someday. Really, I am so lucky. And I'm thankful for the opportunity that they tried to make me face because at first, I was truly hesitant about the idea of working where I am right now.

After long years of studying, hard labor, and good sucking up to those professors who never ending-ly terrorized us to death, I'd say we made it at last. We should get a hard pat on the back for doing such a damn good job over the years. But I think that graduating is just the beginning of many other things to come. Hurrah!

Sticking to my subject, my word for the day: FORTUNATE.
