Leaving MR, unemployment, etc

I am in the next chapter of life. I have left MR after almost 9 years of employment and I am now an unemployed person. This is another struggle in life which I hope will not be for long. I never thought that I would find it this hard to get a job. I have been to two interview so far and I have not been successful, even when I thought I did well. Perhaps, I am not what employers are looking for, even though I see myself as an asset. Hahahaha, definitely trying to lift my chair there, but then again, I have to know my own worth. This is the second week where I have no job, and so far, I have been bored staying at home, though the thought of going back to work straight away is not very inviting too. I am just scared of not knowing what is ahead of me. I thought it would be easy, but alas, here I am. I definitely do not want to regret leaving MR. I certainly feel that it is time to move on. I just never expected that the job market now is so harsh.

Anyway, aside from me not having a job, it is good that Steve has a job. Although some times he feels not up to it, but he is working on that. I am just happy for that.

Meanwhile, life goes on. Zamel has a project in Tagum. Last Saturday, mama and others went to Isla Reta for fun and excitement.

Family ancestors (Catiben and Yap) by Zai

  I have always been interested about the past. I enjoy knowing history because our past and the people before us have shaped who we are today. It is interesting to know the personalities who may have contributed to who we have become.  The people, the places and and experiences are like patches in the patchwork of our lives, each little piece is important. Hence, it may help to know a little bit of our past to understand ourselves. Although it is difficult to trace all of my ancestors, I have some information about a few of my forefathers. From my father’s side, I grew up with stories about my great grandfather Lolo Catiben Moro. We were told that he came from Mecca on a flying frying pan or it could have been a saucer.  It was a fantastical story. Who was he? Why could he fly on a frying pan? Was he an alien or something else? Luis Matthew's interpretation of Lolo Catiben Moro Nobody knows what he did in Mecca. But he was not a Muslim. He was a Bagobo/Calagan, wh...

Musings on my childhood by Zai

Image
  I had a great childhood. I had fun and freedom to explore the world around me. And even though we did not have everything in life, we still enjoyed life the best of what we had. Davao and Tagum were beautiful homes for us. The rural life in Tagum was special and it helped us appreciate the beauty of living a simple life. It gave us wonderful memories which I treasure. I had memories of my childhood in Bajada, Davao. It was there where we played under the Mansanitas tree just in front of the rented house, we would play on Zamel’s toy car. The car was big enough for us that we could ride it. When I was little, I used to think the tree was so big. Everything looked so big when you are a child. When I see a Mansanitas tree now, I realise that it is not that big after all. I vaguely remember playing near the neighbors house where I would jump over the canal. It must have been a small canal but it seemed like a fun thing to do when you are young. I must have been under five years old...
