It's been 3 whole months since I graduated from college. I know I should've gotten a job right now because I was really aggressive in looking for one. I was one of the first people in my class to actively search for a job and not have a vacation after graduation. I didn't need a break because I wanted to start my life right away. But lo and behold, I am still UNEMPLOYED. It stings the hell out of me. The mere word unemployed breaks my heart. Am I really THAT unemployable? Hell! My college grades were far from mediocre and I have a third language skill that is seldom found in my fellow 2008 graduates. So why the fuck am I still unemployed? I want to know the answer. I often reach the final interview but I just don't cut it. They keep asking me stupid questions on why I want to work for their company. What the hell kind of question is that? They all know I want to start working because I need a job. DuH!
Truth is I can't reach my goals and aspirations anymore. I'm starting to work for our family business on Monday which pretty much means I'm going to be stuck here in the Philippines forever. I never wanted this for myself. I hate working here in the country. Working for a business like a lumber company means I have to face government. The BIR, the Forestree and shit.
My real dream was to go to either Hong Kong, Canada or even Macau! I want to work abroad and never come back to this shithole. I'm so depressed right now. It brings tears to my eyes. I thought after college everything would go smoothly. Personally I blame my parents for not letting me study in Canada, Lejannie for going to Hong Kong and leaving me in this mess and creating a new mess that somehow killed what I initially thought was a fool-proof relationship (the incident is still slowly killing this relationship) and of course I blame myself for allowing these people to hold me back. Man I use to think after 2 years of waiting I'd somehow be in Hong Kong enjoying myself and not worrying about coming back here or experiencing some emotional train wreck. But I was wrong. My life is a summary of boredom, heartbreaks, shattered dreams and a complete mess. I don't know if I could still pick myself up after all these.
Everyone I thought was behind me just stabbed me in the back and somehow affected my life negatively. That's why I want, no, I NEED a new beginning. One where I can start all over again, where I don't know anybody and I meet new people, good people. I enter into meaningful relationships or enjoy one night stands that I know I deserve. I haven't really done anything majorly wrong in my life. I don't know why the universe is punishing me and keep fucking up my life. I am so sick right now I'd be happy to roll over and die. I kid you not! I am contented to end it all right now. I feel so hopeless. Hell even 2 of my friends have gotten out of this shitty country..without even trying! They're now in Shenzhen (which is close to my dream city: Hong Kong) and they didn't even look for the job. The job found them! What the fuck!?! I have been searching for more than 2 years and I still can't get anything...
I am so tired. I just want to end all this and stop existing.
