On Being Jobless

After all the vacation I/we had, I’m now starting to get bored. However, I still thank Multiply (I seldom open my Friendster now…), at least somehow I still have something to do…but then again, I wanted something that will challenge my mind or at least keep me busy.

Before, (after leaving HP) I was able to master doing French tip and hot oil on myself. When I was still working and driving myself to work, I was able to learn how to do my make up on stoplights. Now, (after resigning from Samsung) I’m so into nail painting. I bought a dozen of bottles in different colors and wanted to change my nail polish (and Amae’s) every week and maybe twice a week to match with my Havaianas. Am I getting vain now? Or it’s just my artistic side that is starting get developed?

I was able to receive a couple of job offers from I.T. companies (again) but decided to just let it pass. Thinking there are people who needed that job more than me. Don’t get me wrong. I am not being boastful. I have nothing to brag in the first place. I just can’t force myself to be “into” something I am not interested anymore (as I write this blog…hehehe) This time, I wanted to do something that will tickle my fancy, something that will keep my interests high, something different. Getting paid for doing something of your interests or something you like is PRICELESS! That is my dream job.

I was able to save enough for my plans of being bum in months. People who are close to me know that I’m no “money girl”. Of course we need moolah but it won’t make my world go round. As long as I’m with my loved ones, I can still smile, laugh and live.

Being financially independent helps a lot, though. One can make decisions and doesn’t need to rely on anybody. If you feel like quitting your job, you can just do it.

I strongly believe that life is NOT all about money (I know, I always say this...). Being jobless doesn't make you less of a person and doesn't mean you have to be lifeless. *wink* Bottom line, you know where you are headed to.
