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...

    take the interview and see where it leads.  You're like me in that you over think a lot of things.  Take it one step at a time and it will work out the way it's supposed to.

    WHOA!  Stop....take a huge breath...slooowly let it out...all will be fine.  Go for that job, charm your ass off and do great.  To hell with worrying about your weight, you are who you are...ALL of you.  I've never seen you, perhaps I should study some previous posts...but I'm a big girl myself...I'm way overweight...feel blessed anyway.  At least you can be overweight, there are many who can't be, who can't eat...who are underweight.  I think of this every day and know I want to be healthy, I want to consume less so that somebody else might have what I gluttonly would have eaten before.  I'm healthy and happier because I'm doing something about it.  Besides, once you start working you'll be busier so you'll most likely drop pounds.  And anyway...you want to be in the food industry...a healthy looking business owner portrays good food is around.  Go you, good luck, don't let little things get you down...don't let people get you down...you're the most important, you're awesome and you can do anything.  I had to learn this the hard way...I'm still learning and practicing...if I can do it, you can do it!  can't wait to hear how things turn out!

    Hi - take the interview and see where it goes.if it means you have to start at the bottom of the chain and work your way up,then do it.the opportunity could be there - just take it

    Queenie ~ One little tip for your interview... walk in there, sit down and say it out loud very clearly.  "I'm sorry but I'm really nervous" It will ease the tension and you may find they'll be much nicer with their questions.
     
    You'll be fine, be honest if you don't know how to answer a question say it "I'm not sure how to answer that" They will rephrase it most often.  GOOD LUCK!!!
     
    I believe in you Queenie!

    You know what they say about courage? Its fear that has said its prayers. You good to go. Its ok to be scared, take that fear and go for that interview!
     
    Family can be a bummer when one is trying to save money, but I believe that the good that you continue to do for your family will come back to you ten fold. Its not gonna come from them, its gonna come from complete strangers. Right at that moment when it all hits the fan, when you are about to raise your hands up in surrender, an angel will come to your rescue.
     
    At your age you are more aware of yourself and of life than your peers. Don't lose sight of your dreams and your goals. You can do this!
  • mobil said on Oct 31, 2008....
    Yes, you can do it...........you're the Queen remember?
  • RollingC said on Oct 31, 2008....
    Go for it Queen....you can do it.   Don't worry about anything and just go for it.  Give your mom a percentage of what you make and that will show her that you're trying.  All parents lay a guilt trip on their kids at one time or another....don't let it get to you.
    You will make it.   :^)
