Frosting on the Cake

“Eating the finest and most delicious cake” was my dream. However, for now, I will enjoy eating this “good cake” with “yummy frosting” served in front of me while I am still working and waiting for God’s “most delicious and finest cake”, BAKED ONLY FOR ME.

Being in this kind of job was very far from my dream. Because I was and still dreaming to be a Make Up Artist or something related to Fashion or Arts. Working in a Government Agency is not totally bad, it’s just that I know I am not destined to be here. I know, because someday, I’m gonna leave this to pursue my dream job. I like this job actually but it is hard for me to really and fully love this because I know in my heart what I love. I am enjoying. I am happy, temporarily. It gives me capacity to help and support my family, financially. It also gives me the capability to help my country and Filipino Learners in a different way even if I have a small bill on my pocket. and also, it helps me to grow as a person, as an employee, as a worker, as an advocate, as a dreamer, in a different environment that is far from my dream environment.


It is an uneasy job. But you know, some says, when God gives you far different from what you like, you should embrace it, enjoy it and be thankful to God for it. It was hard but also it was very beneficial. Want evidences?


Here are some perks i received and gained from this “very different environment”:

• Colleagues that are not in the same age as mine. and sometimes, they tend to baby me. :))

I have a very wonderful job, isn’t it? But still, it ain't about the beauty or the salary of the job that matters, sometimes, it is how you follow your heart. It is about achieving what you want. And its about, “playing” in your own field (chosen/dream work).

Find a job you love and you’ll never have to work a day in your life.
