Blogger’s Note
I started blogging circa 2004. Apart from my slightly poor grammar skills then, my mind was very different at the time. And this cringy writing style went on for about 5ish more years. I threw away majority of my previous journal entries out of shame đ . But some made it to the cut, like this one, just something to laugh at or roll eyes with.
Money has always been a problem in my family. And being assigned here was like an answer to my prayers. I thought that earning dollars (in my case, yen) will always be helpful for my peeps back home. Because it means bigger income! But for half a year here, it has been tough, especially now that the peso is climbing UP⊠therefore, my yen is valuing down.
Support is always not good enough. So I always think of things to âmaximizeâ my savings (which I believe is still on the drain) or earn more. Budgeting is of course on top of my action items. Unfortunately, I have a really poor talent on handling my finances, though I improved a little. But still, I always feel it is never enough.
Just this afternoon, on my long walk to our head office, I thought, maybe I should get a part time job. I thought about applying to a convenience store or starbucks or anywhere else. My train of thoughts was already on the run, and my mind again was beginning to mold pieces of imaginations of me wearing a barista uniform. Wow! đ But then I realized, shux⊠I wonât pass for a barista here. Because I have very poor Nihongo skills. So the thought bubbles suddenly disappeared and I just went on walking. My part time job dreams just faded.
And then I saw that sign somewhere in one of the buildings I was passing through⊠and it really made me smile:
WANTED:
Attractive Filipina
Get the Chance for Up Income!
Free Transportation
Free Room Available
Starting Salary
1 Day „ 13,000
But itâs not because my âpart time job huntâ was a success. Of course I wonât bother to apply, despite the fact that I qualify for the âattractiveâ requirement (hahaha). True I always joke about me being an IT person at day and entertainer at night, But yaâll know it was just for laughs. This part time job idea was just something that came out of my habitually daydreaming mind, nothing really serious.
I smiled because I thought, funny how Someone Up There demonstrates His Sense of Humor to me sometimes.
I was like: (looking up) âHahaha! Very funny! Very funny!â.
