Badabing Badaboom!

Uninspired. Lower Part of the Wheel. Demotivated.

Those were the three words that would best describe this weird phase, and then there’s a spark that just shows up in its most unique and unexpected form.

I woke up this morning thinking “SSDD” – same sh*t different day.

So this morning in my usual spot at Figaro, having my first kape and yosi for the day, someone actually introduced himself to me. I’ve been noticing him actually, I always see him around the Makati Area, other coffee shops, crossing the streets etc. He looks like a typical Pinoy but for some weird reason he stands out. He’s hard to miss.

He’s actually in the same industry as I am now. Events, production, pr…all those shenanigans. He’s been in the industry for almost ten years and still makin’ it. I actually enjoyed listening to his adventures and his misadventures. For the first time, I found myself really quiet just listening to his very very colorful life (imagine he worked with Jude Law and Ewan McGregor?!?!)

In other words, I found my spark again. J He even told me about the big booboos he encountoured – loosing 400 thousand pesos but gaining a 10 million project in 3 years.

The truth is, I see myself in this industry for a very long time. There’s no other place or job I can imagine myself with.

A client shared to me that he was meant to see the world. The truth is, with his job, he has seen more than half of the world. So then he asked me “Char, so what do you think are you meant to do?” with a smile, it just came out of my lips effortlessly I said “I’m meant to meet people. All kinds.” (Traveling comes with that I hope?)

For someone as young as 24, I am holding on to that vision. :) For once in my life I am positively sure about something.

So let's see. I'm waiting for my 'badabing badaboom' moment.

Sige nga, in other words. OO NA. He’s CUTE. Even if he’s 10 years older!
