Si Ama at Ako
My Dad picked me up from work last night, just like what he has been doing for the past 1 and 1/2 years. On our way home, kinukwento ko sa kanya yun conversation namin ng messenger namin nung umaga. Pareho kasi kami na nirereklamo na namin ngayon sa mga sarili namin yun mga bagay na hindi naman namin niko-complain before: malayong byahe, mababang salary, hindi maramdamang benefits, etc.
Incidentally, my Dad's experiencing the same thing. And like me, he had been looking for another job for the longest time now. At pareho kaming hinatak lang ang sarili mula sa pagkakahiga sa kama kahapon ng umaga. Then we exchanged funny anecdotes about looking for a job. Ang mga mahikang nagaganap sa website ng jobstreet. Ang mga tips and tricks para makakuha ng matitinong job selections, also, from jobstreet. Ang mga rejected CVs. Ang mga prospectives employers, ang mga pangarap na kumpanya (ADB, IOM - Lala, may opening ba dyan?, World Bank, UN, etc.), at mga hard-to-reached requirement ng mga pangarap naming trabaho. It was pretty much a light talk actually, considering it's our future we're discussing about. Most of the time, we're laughing our asses off for the bloopers we had while searching for the next best job there is.
It's amusing having that kind of conversation with my father. Although at the end of the day, I felt sorry that he still has to undergo the same fate I am having right now. Parang sana ako na lang ang naghahanap ng trabaho ngayon habang he's living the life he has always wanted: i.e., gumising nang maaga para magbasa ng dyaryo habang umiinom ng gatas (di yun nagkakape eh), mag-gardening, makipag-kwentuhan sa kapit-bahay, mangisda sa lawa, magjogging, manood ng TV -- the life.
Wait ka lang, Dad, mararanasan mo rin yan. Mawawalan ka rin ng pressure ng paghahanap ng work. Hahanap lang ako ng trabahong bubuhay satin lahat, luho and all. ;)
So, uhmm.. san ba may ganung trabaho? ^_^"
