It's happy news but I remembered my contract again. The last time I asked about my eligibility for a bonus, HR said contract employees are not qualified to receive bonuses. I felt really bad, not because I needed that money, but I felt that I wasn't getting what I deserved.
Now that feeling's back all over again.
I know I shouldn't let what's not here affect me or make me feel sad, but I am. Kind of.
Bleh. I know I'll get over it. I always do.
Now, moving on.
I received this quote in my email today:
You have to realize what makes you happy. The kitchen always does that for me.
—Michelle Bernstein, chef
I feel the same way!!! I'm happiest and most energized when I'm in the kitchen preparing meals for loved ones. Suddenly I was thinking about shifting careers. Should I study to become a chef?
I'm kinda discouraged because when I studied writing/journalism, it burned my passion out. (But is that even possible?) When I was a kid I loved to write. When I learned to edit myself though, it just kinda died. I'm afraid going into cooking school will put out the flame, too.
Should I just open a karinderya then?
Ahhh. Decisions, decisions.

Hi Kat...I can relate about editing burning your passion out. Lalo na experience ko sa GS, even the three months I spent doing the trade magazines killed my creativity for a while. For the longest time each word would struggle to come out because even before it flowed from my fingers it'd be edited and measured in my head. sa akin I just took a break from writing for a while. yung job ko ngayon is more of analysis and aggregating data so wala masyadong heavy writing involved. and then I started a paper and pen journal again, na kahit gaano kagulo/kapangit ng sulat ko, I just let it flow out. it helped and now I write a lot again.
pag may karinderya na kayo aapply ako dishwashah.
may journal na din ako ulit iggy! =)
wag naman dodi. dishwasher supervisor naman. :p
i can also relate.. i feel like my job has reduced me to an F8 button. i can't write creatively na! it's good that you maintain this blog, at least may creative outlet ka pa rin. cheer up! isipin mo n lang nasa travel/lifestyle website ka na nagsusulat... unlike some of us na pang-geek mags pa rin hehe :)
let's go karinderya!
let's go sago! mwehehehe.
