I want the FREE BORACAY VACATION...

...for my parents.

See folks, My beloved Mama and Papa never had real vacation these so many years. Maybe when we were little kids, they still manage to go out of town but they still tag us along with them. But since my sisters and I entered grade school until we are bound to finish college this March (Yes, finally, my younger sister and I are graduating!), they never experienced any. They also never had a proper honeymoon, I think. Since my mother got pregnant out of wedlock, they started to live together after their wedding and worry about their finances.

As small entrepreneurs, my parents knew no holidays. They always work, work and work. When we wake up in the morning they're off to work, when we got back home from school they are asleep and when we are in the middle of our sweet dreams at night they will leave the house. My parents only rest on days that I can count with less than the fingers of one hand.

December 25, January 1, 2 and 3.

See? And during that days, they prefer to sleep, eat and rest in the house. That is why I want to win a free Boracay vacation for my parents. They have been selfless and hard working they forgot their needs and wants. They set aside their selves for our future. And this coming graduation, I want to give this gift to them (Please WOW Philippines Travel Agency, please choose me =/). But since I am still unemployed and dependent on them, I rummaged the internet for promos and stumbled upon the Wow Philippines Travel Agency Boracay Vacation Promo. In celebration of their fifth year, they are giving off a FREE Boracay Package complete with 5 Star accommodations at the luxurious Le Soleil de Boracay Beach Resort on Boracay Island for two. This is perfect for my Mama and Papa. Below is the complete deets of the contest.

Though I haven't been to Boracay and wanted to go there for myself, I wanted to win this contest for my parents. In little way like this, I will be start to be selfless like what my parents did for me. For my parents and family, I will always be selfless from now on. I want Mama and Papa to go to Boracay and enjoy their selves like they never did before. I want them to relax and unwind for five days in a luxury accomodation at Bora. I want them to enjoy, be happy and think of their wants and needs now because they have neglected it for soo many years.

A sucker for knowledge

I don't want to be a sucker for life.

A psychologist slash guidance counselor said, in my exit interview, that it is okay to be a sucker because it forces you out of your comfort zone. She said that as jobs are hard to acquire these days, we have to be tough and content with the job that we are going to have and eat all the irons and shits our bosses will give us and be a sucker for life, if possible.

No, I don't want to do it. Not because I don't want to be reprimanded, cursed, manipulated or anything. I won't stay in a job that is not fulfilling. I won't stay in a job that beats the hell out of my sanity and gives me a below average pay. I won't stay in a job that does not help me to become better and experienced. It won't work for me.

My take is, it is okay if you are not happy and contented with what you are doing only if you are able to grow, to learn and gain something from it. But if none, you can cut it out your life. It is okay if you're not enjoying your job, but as long as you get something like superb knowledge from it and you become better in anything you're doing at..then suck it all off.

As I am finished with my internship and halfway through academic requirements, I realized more things that I wanted to achieve. I want to be better and when I say better it does not necessarily mean better values or morals. I want to a better communicator, writer, thinker and everything else in my mental faculties. Being surrounded by great and brilliant people at work inspires me to be one. Sometimes I really feel stupid and all that, haha! Yes I am insecure of my own self. I act weird whenever at work and maybe my superiors have no idea that I don't know what they are talking about. One time I sat with them for their story conference and I was quiet with a handful of ideas, yet I kept my mouth shut.

I was afraid to make mistakes. I was afraid that if I blurt out an idea it won't be welcomed. Because they are too brilliant to buy it.

Afterwards I realized that I shouldn't have acted that way. It was my only chance. It was the only chance I've got to prove I am as good as them. That I exists. Haha!

Oh well, can't take back the hands of time and so I promised myself that one day, I will walk down that hall with confidence and knowledge that they can use someone like me.

And that's me talking like a sucker, but hey, I would love to be a sucker for life, love and knowledge!
