<p>another unexpected developmentâ€¦ it got me thinking and wondering for awhileâ€¦ (thinking again!)â€¦ iâ€™ve actually been considering coming back to manila lately, because iâ€™m starting to get bored hereâ€¦ but i told myself, to be patient and just let things go itâ€™s own course and not push anythingâ€¦ iâ€™ve really decided to let master fate have its own wayâ€¦ so iâ€™m not doing anything and iâ€™ve decided to be patient and waitâ€¦</p>
<p>but lady fate has got it going again, teasing me and making fun of meâ€¦</p>
<p>i feel like iâ€™m a very hungry fish and then suddenly, i see a very fat worm wiggling off a hookâ€¦ itâ€™s very tasty and iâ€™m very hungryâ€¦ and iâ€™m faced with a decision, should i eat the worm and risk being caught or should i just go away and find some lousy plankton to eat?</p>
<p>uhmmâ€¦ iâ€™ve always been an adventurous person and i like being challenged, but at most times, my love for adventure and my being impulsive and fatalistic gets the better of me and i end up in very compromising situationsâ€¦</p>
<p>iâ€™ve always said that my going to cavite was a decision i made very impulsively, it was a decision i made based on very wrong reasonsâ€¦ i had an underlying agenda there, and as such i sufferred the consequencesâ€¦ it took an anxiety attack and a very bad case of asthma attack to make me realize that i made the wrong decision, so i went homeâ€¦ but then again that was in the past and iâ€™m learning not to dwell on the pastâ€¦ so letâ€™s forget about that for awhileâ€¦</p>
<p>uhhm, back to the present, so the oathtaking for new new ECEâ€™s would be on May 2 (thatâ€™s a tuesday)â€¦ and francis (amistoso) was asking me what the dress code isâ€¦ and then he asks me, if i already have a job and when i said no, he asked me if i wanted to go with him to manila to look for a job thereâ€¦ at first i thought he meant, if iâ€™d go to manila but then he asked me if iâ€™d go with him on fridayâ€¦ friday?! i knew iâ€™d say no, but it made me think and consider it anywayâ€¦</p>
<p>but then my reason got the better of me, i really donâ€™t want to make the same mistake again, going there without giving it much thought and more importantly, going there for the wrong reasons would only make matters worst, besides, if iâ€™d go with him, where am i supposed to stay? i couldnâ€™t very well go with him in his titaâ€™s houseâ€¦Â  he says heâ€™d look for an apartment but when i asked him if his other classmates would go with him, he says theyâ€™re all going to look for work in cebuâ€¦</p>
<p>i donâ€™t think that i could go away again and have another adventure, besides, i dont feel really comfortable of arrangements if ever iâ€™d goâ€¦</p>
<p>so, i decided that i have to be patient and just let things go its own natural wayâ€¦</p></div>
