Hay Buhay. . .

Not so long ago, I learned that my friend rendered her resignation letter. And last Friday was her last day in the office. At first, she didn't say anything. Wala daw siyang gagawin or she wouldn't be working for a while. But today she confessed, whilst having lunch with her, that the reason why she left her good paying (but stressful) job is so that she could pursue something bold - to be a cook for a restaurant.

Initially, I was like WHAT?! But then she explained that it is something that she had always wanted to do, and it's now or never. Plus, the corporate world was already suffocating her. I then lauded her because it's not something that everyone can do! Kung doon siya masaya, eh di go. 'Di ba? A bold move indeed.

I've been thinking about it too: what if I quit my job and do something spontaneous? In academia, the term would be sabbatical. But honestly, what will happen to me? I don't think I have the guts to do it. Perhaps I'm a coward. Wouldn't it be fun though? To not do something serious in life and break free from the norm? But then again, ayokong magutom.

I'm already in my mid 20s; and unlike some of my successful peers career wise, I haven't really deciphered what I truly want to do for the rest of my life. I presently have a decent job with equally good pay. But I fear that it's not the most stable. I can say I'm happy with what I do, but there really are days when I just want to look for something "better."

It comforting to know however that my current state is not permanent. . . and I know things will start to fall into place very soon! :)
