Yesterday marked my first month in my current job. What better way to celebrate it than to be a part of the team that promoted PinoyDVD (my current project) in the 4th Hi-Fi Show at the Mandarin Oriental in Makati? We got the chance to tell people who’re not aware of PinoyDVD what it’s all about. We got to sell a few DVDs too. And them’s some mighty fine DVDs. If only I had the time to watch full season DVD sets of Smallville these days, I would have purchased some myself. Anyway, we also got the chance to meet DVD enthusiasts, hobbyists, and casual fans. I think I’ve found my next sickness. But it has to wait because currently, my comic book sickness is still in high gear. Poor wallet.
This is my 3rd job. Not to diss my previous jobs and employers, but this is the first time that I’ve been really happy with what I’m doing. Not too long ago, I was thinking of just getting freelance work in the web development industry so I can just work at home and remove the hassles of the office. But now, I’ll be moving to an apartment near the office. I’m doing what I always wanted to do since I discovered the web. I’m doing exactly what I always aspired to do ever since I learned that people need jobs (right around the time I discovered that being a bum isn’t all that fun).
Not too long ago, I was in denial. I was angry. I bargained for a second chance. I was depressed. Eventually, I accepted the fate of my previous relationship. Dead. Going through the five stages of grief wasn’t fun. It was funny. You always have to find time to laugh at the world because, let’s face it, it always makes fun of you. An eye for an eye, World. Eye for an eye.
Not too long ago, it was always about what other people think. What other people do. What other people feel. But what about Baddie? There was a time when I did what I thought was right for me and the people around me. It’s time to go back to the basics. Time to bite the head off of Robot Clone Baddie and let Classic Baddie stick his bloody head in the jaws of the beast.
