When I’m in college, I don’t ask much from my biological care-takers (parents). I get what I want but I have to work for it. They give me all the basics that I need even those I don’t want. I just don’t feel like asking for another dime to buy my personal luxuries. I want to stand on my own. My school allowance is not that big but it’s sustaining. Just enough. Though, I studied in a private school, even  saved something for my load. Texting might be a hobby then (for me).

Business-minded me, that’s what I thought of myself. Grown from a Filpino-chinese orientation, making money is in inherent. With friends,classmates, co-leaders as my patronizers of my tuna sandwich break and yema and pastillas special, I got a good income from it. Being a personal load retailer (seems like a walking e-loader), I get free loads for my own personal gain of my texting chuva. Still about profit. I must have been  learning to spend for myself while scanning those accounting books and making my weekly organizer for my staff meeting (student government and editiorial staff). Wow, super student?  Yeah, even joined our school band as a saxophonist. Don’t know why I was doing that stuff. But that I missed! Nah, I’m not really totally complete.I may be over for those fame but lack on something. I wasn’t just able to figure it out what.

Parents are also passive in what I do in school (but I know they kinda eavesdropped secretly). They know I always bring out the best in me in every endeavor I do. My school cards are not just good. They are excellent! I make projects to exceed my mentors expectations! I still remember my Paulivisol capsule (for my next post). So much for it…

After I graduated from the University run by sisters.  I keep myself in a pace of getting a job.  I can’t just imagine myself staying at home and waiting for my parents to feed me and supply my other needs. No way! I want to break  away! Well, I handled 3 jobs in different companies. But I didn’t stay long in my very first job. F0r my second one, it’s been almost 2 years of stay doing editing works for an outsource company in Publishing. Well, sort of repaying my parents effort of sending me to school. I give 13% of what I earn monthly. I’m not oblige to (but I think,  should) repay? hehehe… And why 13 %? I get to compute, it’s what comes in my calculator!  But it’s more than that, the bills, bills, bills I need to pay. Bills? really? nah, I left my PC at home with internet connection. And my dad and bro is lavishing it to the fullest!

Right now, I’m currently based here in a big, progressive, but very provincial city of Cebu with my new job as a Tech support representative. Of course, I earn much than my previous careers. Even double! Still the percentage  of what I sent doesn’t change. The amount is! And I just thought of myself, is 13% enough? What you think? I’m not good at this though I’m a business grad. But for me, if I give much than it, I could have fluctuate in my survival here! So I just think it’s ok. Anyway, I give it whole-heartedly. Is it OK?
