My YoungBlood Article PART 3: Infinity's Ending

After 48 years of waiting, here now is the FINAL INSTALLMENT of the "bloody trilogy"..
My story begins here after i escaped the depths of hell to climb back to Mount Olympus.
Well, its sort of like that... :) So here goes...


****************Article PART 3********************


I was back on track. I must have been one of God's favorite people for He gave me another chance. I was teaching computer science at Ateneo de Davao University while attending graduate school at UP. The job was perfect for me because I've always had this passion for teaching. Just like that I was back on top of my anthill.

But this dream too did not last. Months later, I found myself working for a private investment firm here in Davao. I started working for the company the very next day after I left the university. I switched lanes without even glancing at my rear-view mirror. The next thing i knew, i was already traveling on another road.

In a span of 3 years, i have already worked for three different employers. It was then when i started having apprehensions about myself and my direction in life. In Coelho's the Alchemist, there was a proverb that said, "Everything that happens once can never happen again. But everything that happens twice will surely happen a third time." In my case, I already have
shifted careers twice. And sure enough, it is happening again for a third time.

Yes, I quit my job recently. I am now one of the millions of jobless Filipinos out there. My mountain remains an anthill but I am now hesitant to climb it. Afraid that what has happened many times before may happen again. Who knows where i'll end up next? The seminary perhaps? That would certainly make my lola proud. But for now, I really have to re-think my directions or i'll end up having none.

Maybe my problem is insignificant compared to the problems of other people, or perhaps of our country. But for those who are confused and lost like me, i hope it helps to know that you are not alone.
