disppointment

we had a family gathering yesterday.it was a double celebration:my lola (father side) on her 70th and baste (my pamangkin)on his 2nd birthdate.isang magarbong handaan ang ginanap,as expected.my waiters.pag nasa kanila ako,parang ang gaan gaan ng buhay.no wonder,they are all financially stable.

kanya kanyang table.kanya kanyang usapan.the good thing?i didn't isolate myself.marunong na akong makipagsocialize.i finally learned that.

the celebration was quite not that memorable.just a simple family gathering with private guests.what makes it worth remembering for me was the mere fact that i disappointed most of them.kumbaga,it can be identified as an "infamous" one.i guess.

on the conversations we had, given na ang kamustahan.i then admitted to them that i am finally working.one thing that i kept as a secret for a short time.and i just can't forget how they reacted.i guess i'll never will.my family on the father side are title motivated.believe me.they don't mind the compensation,they are more on sa "pagmamalaki."other people's impression matters to them.that matters most.i guess i can't blame them,my cousins are nurse,chemist and engineer,anong laban ko?

career wise,you can never consider call center as a blue collar job, as something that you can be proud of.
a lot of people thought of it na trabaho ng tamad, trabaho ng mga bobo,ng wala ng mapasukan.you might think of that too.and once you do,i can tell you one thing:wala kang alam sa pagiging isang call center agent.better yet shut up.we are getting high salaries in line with the pressure.but we are treated in a way you will never imagine.para kameng robot na hawak ng mga amerikano ang remote.yeah,given the fact that you are being compensated well,the nature of the work is a question.and the growth?that's next in line.

i never thought of staying on where i am working currently.but as of the moment,i need,i have to.when i was talking to "imo", my cuz who is kenneth william in real life,realizations came to my mind.i suppose you're familiar with "bebe gandang hari"... they are quite identical.and he reminded me of a lot of things.atleast for now,i finally have something written, worthy enough to be called as a "plan".

i don't want to think that i am a disppointement.'cause i know i never was and i will never be.but i am thinking how these people,yung mga taong nakasaksi sa mga pinagdaanan ko for the entire 21 years are having this feeling towards me?i know,i am nothing compared to my cousins na may mga titulong ikinakabit sa unahan ng mga pangalan nila.but do we usually base one's capablities on such?probably,that's an additional point.kumbaga sa food,enticing ka pag may titulo ka.pero not everything will follow.it will not always follow.and i know,they are pretty much aware of it.


21 years.i guess i am still young enough.marami pa akong pagdadaanan.marami pang darating na opportunities.though hindi ako kapagmalaki malaki ngayon?i know someday i will.for now i might be a disappointment in their eyes,but it wlill never stay as is.never.
