last night i did something
that really scared me. i applied as editorial assistant for summit publishing. it was scary because rejection is a tough thing to handle, specially when you get rejected for something you "sorta" (hmp, pahumble!) pride yourself of.
the cosmo stint is a dream job pour moi. it spells out what i want to do in life: travel, research, talk, shop, eat, WRITE...
i hate sitting here. i hate not being able to go out and see places and people. i miss those moments when i see something that makes me wish i had a camera to capture the scene. i miss traveling. i miss bahrain and the sound of the muezzin calling out the moslem prayer during sundown, i miss greece with its pink sand and turquoise water, i miss los banos and its hole in the wall restos. i miss getting motion sickness...
i applied thru jobstreet.com and their system told me that i was underqualified for the job because i did not meet summit's basic requirement of having at least a year's experience in a similar working environment. but i clicked through the tabs and applied anyway. ei, you never know, i might (eensyteensy chance?) get an interview or something. at least i tried and i wont be wondering about it for the rest of my life.
*i'm reading gaardner's the solitaire mystery. i hope i get to understand why it has something to do with the game of solitaire. i only got to know how to play solitaire last year at IRRI. out of boredom, i asked evs to teach me how to play it on the pc. she did, ever so patiently by the way. i'm such a dummy when it comes to playing cards :-)
