A new challenge to face

             Four years of study is not a joke and as easy as what we all think it is. Being a student, a lot of trials will occur (like: thesis. group reporting, long test and quizzes, case study and projects) which will help to exercise our brain memory, increase our knowledge and also to motivate us to study hard for us to survive and pass all subjects we enrolled in two semesters per year.

             But then behind these trials are the problems that students are facing in order to graduate in college. Like lack of money to support their tuition fees and financial allowance to sustain all their needs not just in school but as well as in group projects, thesis and all that teachers and professors assigned to them sometimes. These two things mentioned will become a hindrance in maintaining their grades and achieving their goals and dreams in life in the future.

             But compared to what we will soon encounter after graduation, this thing mentioned are only a dot to what we will face in the future outside school. As a newly graduate student, things will be different now. A lot of responsibilities awaits not just to our families concern. Before we are just expecting money from our parents, but this time they are not oblige to sustain our needs anymore. Their job and obligation to us is already finished. In their part it is a nice feeling, but for us, it’s quite sad. (hahaha) On the other hand, it is a refreshing feeling also like serving them, make them happy, helping them in their financial needs to lessen their expenses (oh my! I can’t wait for that day to happen) and also to buy our “Luho” in life which we didn’t even have the chance to do it when we were a student before because of lack of money. But now, we should need to be well matured enough to face the real battle of life. Scary but we should be ready and have the courage to face it.

             Looking for a job is easy, but having a job is not that easy. We all know that competition is every where. A lot of college student graduated yearly, however the opportunity which is open and the work position available in our country are seldom rare and limited to accommodate thousands of graduate students who apply and looking for a job. That is one of our country’s main problem that we are facing right now. In all students who will graduate this year, we don’t have an idea where to put them in our country. And because of our economic crisis right now, maybe some of this newly graduate student will rather go to other country to work because if they stay in their own land to work, they will just get a little amount of salary which if we compared to other country it will doubled the amount. Because we all know that our country pays small or lower salary payment for the employees which cannot sustain the needs of even the family itself. Only the corrupt Senators, Officers, Leaders, Governments and Artist are the one who get rich in our county.

            As our country’s economic and financial situation right now, more Filipinos especially those in the middle and lower level in our society are affected (but not the corrupt senators and celebrities in our country). These problems become bigger when one of the United States of America’s (USA) business meltdown last year. We all know that they are our countries number one source of help. That thing happen in America gives additional treat and impact to us to increase and improve our country from its economic problem, that is why a lot of Filipino choose to work abroad in order to have a good future.

            However, that is not the only problem. As a newly graduate student, if ever we get a job immediately dealing with other people is also a problem and is not easy. If you are not patient enough with your boss, co- employees and other people around you, you will lose your job immediately. Because we can’t predict what attitude of our co-employees and bosses we will have in the future, that is why we should be ready to it.

           This situation was encountered by many newly graduate students who happened to, some of them they are not used to order or yelled at by other people. But those things will help and mold us to do better in our work. If you didn’t survive such thing you will not be able to get another job again. I think it is normal, and someday you will get used to it also.

              We need not to be choosy also. Some applicant had this attitude, that is way months go by and they didn’t have a job still. We should need to know how to deal with others, because as what the saying goes” opportunity knocks once” only so if ever we experienced difficulties not in applying a work or to the work itself already, we need not to step back but used this things and experienced as our guide in the future.

My Dream date

 

          When I was a kid, I was dreamed of my Prince charming on what does he look like. My second to eldest sister (way back when I was thirteen years old) had a boyfriend who fetch her and take her back home after class every day. Sometimes I see them both argue and then after two to three days they will both make an apology with each other.

          The idea of it gives me the feeling of excitement and thinking that soon, when I’m old enough I will have a boyfriend too and I will be able to handle every situations that might happen just like my sister. But then, now that I’m at my right age I realized that finding a date, a partner in life or a person you will spend your life to in the future is not an easy task. There is a lot of processing that you will encounter to be able to meet the person you are destined with.

floating City of Venice in Italy

          I guess, people go dating not just to search for their match, but also to enjoy life to the fullest by relaxing their mind in everyday stressed that they encounter not just through working, but also to mingle with different kind of people with their different kind of attitude.

          If I were to choose where to spend my day on a date with some one, I prefer in Italy, in Venice, why? Venice is a very romantic place for me, I don’t know w hy (because we have different perspective and taste towards a thing) but I find the City wonderful and interesting. The City itself where in, the lights coming from the buildings and houses at night reflected into the deep exquisite water gives additional impact to the beauty of the City, floating in such incredible water is a very unique and magnificent venue for me to spend a date with someone special in my heart. The idea of having a date with someone in such kind of place is very exciting.

         When me and my date mate are both in there together, we will took a trip by riding a small boat or a ferry boat to tour the whole City of Venice or to take a glimpse on how beauty the place is while talking to each other by sharing some information, different things, and opinions that might help us in getting to know each other deeper.

          While the boat is moving, a group of band or musician (in our same boat also) will play a romantic type of song for the people on the boat which will serve as our background music while cruising the City of Venice.My Father  had  already visited the country, and he’s the one who told me about the Venice City floating on deep water. He said that a lot of people go there dating (and also at the boat) and sometimes they made their request love song to the musician to play for them while at the boat. Since then, I’m wishing also and dreaming that someday I could experience such thing in my life. I think it’s very cool and awesome to experience with.

        Then after we cruise the whole City of Venice, we will go to a Restaurant or Hotel to have some dinner date with candle light and eat some delicious foods like: Pasta, Spare Ribs,  fresh Veggies, Crabs, Chocolates and Cakes, lots of food to feed our aching stomach and then we drink some red wine.. uhmmm.. Yummy.

Lido Beach in Venice, Italy

       After we eat, we will ride a ferry boat again, which around 20 minutes or half an hour before we reach the Lido Beach, near the Venice City also, still in Italy. When we get there, we will take a walk bare foot on the white sand holding hands while carrying our sandals and shoes and still changing and giving information with each other.

       When we reach the rocks side of the beach, we will stop and go midnight fishing. Then after that, we will make a bonfire in our place and continue talking again while eating again some sea foods and fish.

      After we eat, we will lay down our back together on the white sand, looking at the sky and stars above and still talking together until the sun rise.

      When the sun was rise, he will take me home, back to the hotel or in our house. (if we have a house located there) and give me a kiss on my cheek at the front of the main door (with his eyes sparkling) and saying ” Thanks for the wonderful day with you. I really appreciate it a lot. The time we spend together is really amazing and inspiring to me. Have a wonderful sleep, bye”. And that is the time when I shut the door close, leaning on the back of it with a smile on my face.
