Rational Madness

Saturday, July 30, 2005

Ahh.. today was a good day. No, a great day. You know why? Today was payday! :D Let's just say I'm liking what I'm getting especially since, from the looks of things, I'm earning the same amount of money in three days, what I would have gotten in my old job in the Philippines for a month! Which takes me to this: have I finally been warped? Have I finally succumbed to the charms of the American Dream? The answer is quite simple: Nope.

I am here in Minnesota because as of the moment, I have no non-consequential choice but to be here. And I cannot leave because I have no ticket to get home. Hence, I took my first job as cashier to earn enough money to save up for a roundtrip ticket. I quit that place 2 weeks ago, now I got a new job. Longer hours, work's easier,pays better. I get the better end of the deal. I'm only doing what I have to do. And neither have I been blinded by money, although, shame on me, I really AM happy that I'm getting so much. But realistically, people need this to get by. Anyone who says otherwise is painfully idealistic or is just plain warped. I have a future to take care of. That's precisely what I'm doing this for. I mean, if I'm gonna have to stay here, might as well make the most out of my stay, right? or maybe I'm just consoling myself...

We went to Crystal Frolics today. That's a.. erm, perya, in Pinoy terms.. There were rides, food, games, stuffed toys, a band.. FUN! But we didn't do anything but get our pictures taken
