Shafts of sunlight slanted through the clouds, tempting the
flowers to bloom. "Starving for Friends" by Slave is blaring in my
ears through my P47 wireless headphone. Strutting along this busy sidewalk on
Sunday morning, I remembered tweeting "I wish I'll live in the moment.
Less snapchatting, more enjoying the times. Less tweeting, more doing things.
Literally less reliability on device." My eyes are fed with the view of
people stuck with their smartphones, as if their lives rely on that hand-held devices.
Globalization they said.
I am currently in a desperate need for a job. Inflation
forces citizen to double the hard work for the same amount of salary 10 years
before. Post-graduate like me never get a chance to prove our worth, since
companies are racing to terminate employees nowadays.
To fill my free time, I enjoy reading good books. My
favorite excerpt is from the novel "The Year I Met You" by Cecilia
Ahern. "We are constantly evolving; I suppose I have always known that,
but because I always knew that, I feared stopping, and it is ironic that it was
only when I finally stopped that I moved the most." Just when the
caterpillar thought the world was over, it becomes a butterfly right?
Counting my paces for a job hunt, it has never been easy to
be patient; but it is probably harder now than any time in history. We all
know, tough time never lasts.

Spent 30 minutes to write down the above short story, my
piece of writing was solely based on my thoughts and opinion. It is an
undeniable truth we face with our current economic condition. Reality hits. All
we can do is to keep hustling and pray for a better future.
