My Place…

Things are diverse when I started having a career here in
the country, what I mean is that people don’t gossip a lot. We frequently talk
about how we could do our job better, how to achieve the goal; basically it’s
all about the job we can do to make our work place enhanced. We seldom converse
about people that surround us. Way back when I was working in the Philippines.
People talk about people. Backstabbing each other. Jealousy exists! I guess we
didn’t have that much life that gossiping was the best thing to do. What a life!

Some people that I knew in the Philippines can never be
happy of what you become. Crab mentality maybe or call it Jealousy…I was
chatting with someone last night, she told me that she met my so called college
close friends, so I asked her if they extend any messages for me? I was
expecting they would say “Hello” or “How’s Gage?” and all of the sudden she
said “Look! Jewel has all good things; she has all the good impression I ever
heard, She has everything and everything about you is the opposite”…What?!
So is the opposite means that I am living in a run down apartment with an
abusive husband? Ay wawa naman ako, or baka homeless ako dito what else? I look
so pitiful because my husband cannot afford to buy me things and I am probably working
on a minimum wage and no nanny to take care of Gage while I’m working..There is
nothing wrong of being homeless, looking desperate and working for a minimum
wage as long as hindi gossip and it’s true.. Jewel is my best friend and we are
two different human being. I’m in Vegas and she is in CA, we have different
life. Yes, we are very close but we don’t like the same things. We have
different profession and there is no comparison between us. I think this gossip
begins because when I started working here and never had my papers yet, I opted
to work as a cashier. I have to learn their ways here before I’ll get a real
job I whined about it to my friend in the Philippines and all of a sudden I
heard about this how terrible my life  here in the States. I’m telling you my friends there in the
Philippines that if you arrived in a foreign country, you cannot just get a
good job right away. You have to process your papers, get a drivers license and
learn about their culture here. And you know what? I never was ashamed when I
working as a cashier because it’s a decent job… I don’t really care what you
guys say about me. As long as I know what is the truth.

At least I am making difference in kid’s life everyday.
Seeing them learned from me is one of my mission in life…How about you? What do
you do to make this world better? Get a life and just be happy of what you have
then you’ll be satisfied. Envious people cannot be contented. Jewel and I
actually just giggled about it and we pity you…we hope someday you can find
your own happiness too; A man that will spoil you because that’s what you want
and need. You’re jealous because you have a lot of wants and needs and you didn’t
have it yet….Maybe you’ll have your day someday..wish for it!
