When my mom was sick at the hospital, she asked me, "Are you happy with what you're doing?" Since I work for her and she has heart problems, I lied and said that I was happy, but actually, I wasn't.
I've posted tweets before about my admiration for people that are able to do the things they love doing AND get paid to do it. I think we as Filipinos are too 'blue collar' when it comes to our comprehension of what is REAL work and what is a waste of time.I for example would LOVE to get into eSports. Sadly, it's not a thing here in the Philippines. It's a good thing though that PLDT and Globe are somewhat delving into the realm of eSports.
I sooo badly want to get into that type of career that I applied for a part-time job at Garena (publishers of League of Legends in Southeast Asia) but they still haven't replied to it; probably also because they have too many similar requests from a lot of people.
During the times I daydream, one of my thoughts was that: "If ever you get into a career related to video games or board games, would you take it? Would you leave mom and the company she is hoping you would continue?" Sadly, my answer is NO. I respect my mom too much to let the company she built get buried once she's gone. Even if it means I get to do something I'm not particularly fond of in exchange for something that would make me happy.If only life was a movie where you can just flip the script. Unfortunately it isn't and we'll just have to roll with the punches.
