On Circumcision and Job Application

Alam mo yung nerbyos na naramdaman mo nung magpapatuli ka pa lang? Ganitong ganito yung pakiramdam habang hinihintay mo ang pagtawag sa pangalan mo ng magiinterview. Parang nagflashback yung summer ng 2002, so mga 11 years ago. Sa libreng tuli lang ako nagpatuli. Hindi ko na maalala kung pang-ilan ako noon sa pila. Basta habang papalapit nang papalapit ang numerong binibilang sa numero ko ay patindi nang patindi ang kaba ko. Para akong mababaliw sa nerbyos noon. Nadama ko ulit siya ngayon kasi hindi ko natapos ang eksamen kanina. Panirang IQ Test yan. Shet, ligwak na yata ako . Lecheng tunog ng patak ng tubig yan! Imbis na pakalmahin ako ay lalo pa yata akong pinapakaba.

The Types of Job I want to do

There are only three types of work I want to get involve into now that I'm a graduate:

1. To work as part of the creative team of an advertising agency. The one developing concepts and writing the script, not the one doing the graphic things and technical stuff. I heard from my sister that the job is called a copywriter and that was what she thinks the type of job I'm pertaining to.

2. To work as a writer for drama or comedy in TV. To write, to direct, and to produce a show of my own and have it aired on TV.

3. To work for the government. Before, I was hesitant to work in the government because of the type of system and the misconception that the salary is low but I learned from someone that working for the government is not that bad. Moreover, as a UP graduate, there is a strong sense of responsibility in me to serve the country and its people and one way I think I can respond to this call is to work for the government.
