today i recieved a text message from coffee bean and tea leaf for an interview...
i was applying as a barista. i was first aiming for starbucks because i already passed my resume and starbucks is very near our home. i can walk there. but hey coffee bean texted first!
i should be happy that i got an interview right? after all i need a job right now and christmas is fast approaching. i need some dough....
i know you guys know that i want to be a pastry chef. well not only that. i want to own my own bakery or restaurant someday. and maybe a cafe. who knows... just as long as i'm on the food business.
but right now i'm nervous as hell. i hate interviews. i mean i could be charming like the last time but i dont know if i'm confident enough. in person i'm not as confident and as bubbly like here in soulcast. it's because in real life i'm chicken shit. scared of what the real world could bring.
oh yeah. i didnt take the last time i got offered by an interview. it was for kfc.
so what did i do?
i called them and confirmed.
i'm gonna take the interview.
i'm not expecting to be hired. but i'm gonna take the chance. honestly i made so many excuses in life because i'm afraid to live it to the fullest. i would rather take the easy way out like death and isolation and disappointments and giving up.
but i'm tired of that...
and who wouldnt be in my situation???
my family life sucks for me. my brother is still the main problem. i feel bad at what my parents are going through right now. but i guess having this job would ease our family problems a bit....
speaking of that, family is another problem when i want to save money. you see once you have a job. they think youre a credit card or something. they think you have lots of money. but i wanna save up for culinary school.. and they know that. but still ask for it.
well, i dont have a problem with my father with that... only with my mother. she thinks i should "repay" her for the five useless years i spent in college i didnt pursue. as if she was the one who pay for my tuition...
she said i never gave her money on my previous job. hello.... my wage wasnt even enough for me. and i agve her 1000 pesos on my first paycheck!!!
anyway, i wont think of that anymore i'm just gonna focus on what i have today.
and that is to gain experince from this job. i gotta start at the bottom.
how about financially?
i dont have any dime on me... nothing.... zero.. didnt save enough money from the previous job.
or about my love life or my lack of it.... it's too complicated.... too complicated...
and how about my self esteem???? i'm growing fatter any moment. i think i'm 50 pounds overweight. and dont tell me i'm skinny on my photos. i'm just photogenic.
well i'm gonna focus on my what i can do to achieve my dreams...
maybe everything would fall into places after that...
daze and confused said that i should be more grateful in what i have and just be happy at my blessings...
well i am. i'm forcing a smile in my face eventhough i feel shit.
and honestly i'm nervous about this. even if it's just a barista job...
holy crap can i do this???
oh God i hope so...
