Very true...but to explain further, the whole scenario was this: i was already paying for my school tuition and daily needs in the last two or three years at the university until I graduated (tricycle driver on sat and sat - we own the trike) student ng mon-fri. While finishing my thesis in the last year at university, I managed to land a sales job. Kaso after 9months on that work, my adviser warned me that ibabagsak niya ako if i do not finish my manuscript that semester...so no choice, I resigned...finished my manuscript at nagmarcha ng abril. During that time na "jobless" ako, balik weekend trike driver ako. Also while waiting for the next job (puro application lang at interviews pa kasi)....that was the 3 months that I stayed home.
Of course pag nasa bahay ako, patakpatak kami ng utol for food and utilities...erpat ko nung time na yun ay retired na...he has his pension for his needs and although I was staying at home, I was neither a bum nor an ingrate!
Most of the job I got are not based in Manila...so it was really pretty stupid kung uwian pa ako ng manila even on weekends...why not stand on my feet.
An tanong ko sa 'yo ... Did you have that same guts at an age of 21?
