That I will spend the next year here. June ends today and six(6) days from now marks my one month of being officially jobless (make it 2 months if we'll count the unofficial start).
I am still waiting for a sign that something will change and will make me rethink about my decision. But time is passing by, cash flow is literally non flowing and I'm getting bored and accustomed to the "tambay" lifestyle.
So I will try to finish the test, submit it and wait for evaluation.
Maybe wait for the week (maximum of one more week) to wait for some calls from other companies that I tried to apply to.
After that, depending on the results it's either I'm off to other lands or I will be here in this full-time job as technical staff for a technology incubator facility.
Just like getting back in school, it's time to improve and study for the next chapter ahead.

Axed
I have no work.
Correction, I have no "full-time" work as of the moment. My stint at Playtech was cut short because they will be closing this year and they are "releasing" employees by batch at a time. And yes I was included in the first batch to get the ax.
It was sad, I will not deny it.
For the most part of my "career" I always see to it that I am "safe" on my job since I don't like to be dependent on someone else for my needs. But sometimes (this time-my first time) life/destiny/the universe just conspires against me (or in some dramatic explanation conspires for me...whatever) and I can do nothing about it.
But I can do something.
For me, I paid my insurance for this year with the money I got as severance fee. And a few trips to some places (smiles a great deal).
And yes it motivates me on some degree knowing that I need to find a job soon and quick.
Looking at this event in retrospect made me feel that I've been complacent this past year when it comes to my skill in programming and this is a loud wakeup call to straighten my act.
It's sad to note that I've let myself be left behind.
Well the first way to recovery is to know that there is something wrong, and I know now. I'm on my road to recovery.
FULL SAIL AHEAD.

Moving On
The time has come for me to move on. Yes, it is a choice that I have to make for me. No more annoying delays and irrelevant debacle. Is it easy? The short answer is...no.
For sometime now I was content of mediocrity. And yet day by day mediocracy degrades to ineptness and results to emptiness. A sad life is what you get when you let these things unto you.
But for a moment I enjoyed it.
But that moment did not last long.
So here I am looking ahead. Looking far out into the future, my mind imagining things. Yet I'm still here and reality knocks on me to move, little baby steps, as long as it is constant, soon will get momentum and hope to be in a place and position where I wanted to be.
When I get into difficulties ahead, I draw my strength from my family and my God to always guide me and lead me to the right and rewarding path.
To the future success because there is no other choice.
