Bukang Bibig
Bukang Bibig... All I've been talking about these past few days has been my new job and how much fun I've been having with it. It's only been a week, and yet I feel like I've learned and gained so much already. Eager-beaver much? Perhaps. But hey, at least I'm happy about where I am at the moment.
I've also been thinking about how silly it is that people keep telling me how I will inevitably miss the bumming kind of life after a couple of months of work. It's silly because I've never really liked staying home, being unproductive. As a kid, I used to cry whenever I'd be too sick to go to school. And whenever official school breaks would come around, I was always too preoccupied looking forward to the day classes would resume to enjoy each well-earned vacation. I guess I'm a nerd that way--all work and no play. Don't get me wrong, though. I do like to chill and give myself a break, but lounging around is just not something I'd like my days to consist of. If I were to give myself time to rejuvinate, my R&R wouldn't be spent at home. My ideal kind of vacation is one filled with activity. Take me food-tripping, shopping, traveling, swimming, whatever! Just don't leave me to rot at home by my lonesome.
So, now that I have a job, a reason to get dressed and revved up in the morning, and more importantly, a tangible purpose for my existence at the moment, I'm absolutely loving every minute of being productive again. I've had roughly three months of my well-earned R&R after a rigorous four years of college. I've enjoyed it. In fact, I've had too much of it for my own good.
Give it up, people. You just can't convert a true-blue nerd and semi workaholic like me. But if you think that I'm speaking too soon (the naive fresh grad that I am) and that I just haven't had a taste of what it truly feels to toil day in and day out, then you're welcome to prove me wrong. Heehee... I'm only making all these declarations based on what I know and feel and am truly convinced of at this point.
