Just when I thought my Life is falling apart (I know I'm exaggerating AND it's all because I won't be going with my mother and sisters on a trip to Bangkok this April, which is what we've been planning all along. It's like, I don't know, maybe three or four years ago when we've first thought about it and now, when it was finally decided, I was the one BEING excluded, which DEFINITELY made me feel Über jealous. I was THE one being left out and it's ALL because I'm stuck in here, on the wet and gloomy part of the Northwest, penniless and to quote my sisters, 'worthless', and becoming more and more wretched as the days go by), a message came from my brother this morning when I checked my email.
At first I thought it was sort of a group message sent to us all, THE family. But when I glanced at the first line of the text, I knew he was up to something something.
He started with asking how am I doing and then, automatically followed by the question I've been pretty much avoiding and trying desperately to shrug off: if I already got a job.
And what followed then made my eyes lit up. I actually shrieked and thank God, I was all alone in the apartment. I think it was around 10 AM and my sisters have already left hours ago.
He asked me if I would like to come over sometime this April to look after my niece when his wife gives birth to MY 'nephew'.
HELL, YES! ABSOLUTELY! I SURE WILL!
So I sent him my reply.
And for the rest of the day, I am giddy. My head is floating in space. My eyes, I think, seem dreamy. I know it sounds crazy but really, I've never felt so perked up at least not lately. I guess this is how it feels like to be happy?
I'm going to Japan. Paid trip and/or expenses. Plus an offer of $$$ allowance! (but HONESTLY, I don't really care much about money).
I'm going to Japan and that's all that really matters!
Yatta!
I couldn't have been luckier. I have no money, no job. Yet, I'm free AND I don't EVEN need to chase the opportunity!
Damn so lucky me!
I'm loving you, year 2009.
