So now I'm back to square one with no place to stay while working in Makati. I was supposed to live with a couple of cousins but something came up at the last minute and I ended up left out in the cold literally. I don't really wanna talk about the circumstances involved so I'll leave it at that.

But basically I still have a big problem: where the hell am I gonna live? I've been looking practically all day on the Internet and so far have only found a few worth following up. And yeah, everything costs an arm and a leg so good luck to me finding a place to stay. Might as well look for someplace nice if I'm just gonna end up starving in it. Ha.

And speaking of starving, there's that annoying tiny little fact that practically everyone's expecting me to fail this whole job/experience. Like, what meager money I'll be earning would barely cover all my expenses, especially since I'll be working for a small, unknown company; or that I'm bound to fail my job since it's not for me to be selling anything; or that I should look for a better cookie-cutter job in some big multinational company, preferably those that require you to wear those ridiculous bunny suits.

Well, fuck them. As I told Patrisha last night, this is my life and the fuck do I care about what people say about how I live it. I want this job and I'll fight for it tooth and nail. I may be struggling now, but this won't last forever. I just know I'll emerge from this so much better off. And I will too. Damn it if I don't.
