application odyssey... odyssey... well i didn't apply at a recordbar. odyssey because i walked for like 5 blocks in a dark-coloured long sleeved polo an hour or so after noon on my way to an interview. it was like jogging for 15 minutes.hahaha
i was at Astoria Plaza Hotel for an interview, which at that time I didn't know yet the position that was open. turns out it was an application as a waiter, which i wasn't interested in, and as the interviewer noticed. well i really didn't like to be a waiter so i told the interviewer after he made the comment. it's better to be honest and follow what you want, i guess. i mean at this time where i still have no job i still have the choice of not getting what i do not want.right?
choosy? maybe. but at least i'm not forcing myself into something that i might regret later on. (like studying nursing for a year?haha upon seeing a patient with an axe on his forehead, i might just vomit or faint)
so from here...apply apply mode. : )
so after that, which ended around 4:30 i took the route that is somehow not directly going to SM Megamall when i saw an old lady begging for money to buy food. i was searching for coins in my pockets or a 20, but i only had a 500 and 100 bill. so i said i had no coins with me.
as i was walking away i just though that she looked hungry and that it would somehow be rude/weird not to give somthing (i mean i was in long sleeves with a gold necklace and carrying a leather folder-like thing and i can't give anything?) so i went to the ministop at the block ahead, and thought of buying something for her. i bought a 48pesos rice and meat meal for her which i had reheated, and a liter of C2. but as i went back, she wasn't there anymore, so i tried to find her. i trusted my instincts on where she might have gone to (if she walked towards the block where the ministop was, she wouldn't be near there, so i went the other way). luckily i saw here, asking for money from those walking out of a small office. so i approached her and gave here what i bought, and she thanked me, saying she hasn't eaten all day. so i just smiled and said to her to be careful in going around, who knows what might happen to her.
well, it wasn't on a main road, it's only a drive. but, i mean she's alone by herself, unlike the others that i see, and she's in her 60's. her kids (if there are) or someone else has to take care of her.
i was thinking...would i be like her when i get that old? i don't want to live like that...
