It became my battle cry..
Two days before my supposedly 1st year anniversary in my former company, I took all the efforts and courage and everything alike to step inside in that company's premises once again for the last time.
Someone sent me a message saying they saw my name in a posted memo as big as a long bond paper stating that my last pay would be forfeited after January 27 of next year if I didn't get a chance to claim it.
As if it were a prize that could compensate to all the damages they've done to me and to my very own soul.
And I remembered I'd made a sudden immediate resignation and the consequence of that act (as stated in our contract I carelessly signed) that for those who would take an immediate resignation, 6 days from their last pay would be deducted. And that would be equivalent to Php. 2442.00 - almost. Am I that hungry on having money? I knew that thing that's why I made my decision that day to resign with or without anything in return. I took the risks and made it without any hesitations. I am a big fan of money, but never I was a slave of it. My siblings, yes they are. But me? I'm not..
This is not being hypocrite or whatsoever. I'm happy even without a single cent in my pocket. Even if I can't buy things that I want and envy people 'cause they have new clothes and job than me.
I took this risk and now I am quite happy with this achievement. It seems that I accomplish something money can never buy. It's the happiness and calmness I have inside. :)
I sometimes regret, regret the fact that I don't have a job, that I didn't took care myself enough to be healthy and that I'm not really stable at all. Who does anyway? Yes, you have a job yet the money you earn is never enough. You have taken good care of yourself yet you always feel like your dying and you always think your sane when in fact, you are the most miserable person in the entire Milky Way. This is not being hypocrite, I just realized things, took risks, learned my lessons and will go on with my life as long as God lets me.
And I thank Him for all the years that passed and for all the remaining days that's left.
Maybe He thinks I can still fix my life like anyone else and never fake it for the sole purpose of pleasing others. :)
Back to the
last pay thing, I said to my sister I won't be going and find myself dragging my lower body alone to the Accounting office waited forever before my turn and explained things I can't remember after the conversation has ended. It seems that it was not me that had gone there. I left my soul in the La Fuerza main gate and let my body do the thing. Luckily, while the lady was talking to me, I noticed that my name in the pay check was incorrect. It was misspelled as Elleinne, while my name was mistakenly registered by my parents as Elleine. Again, it took them forever to fix that damn name (Who the hell typed my name incorrect anyway??!!) And told me to quickly go to the bank and claim my prize because they just told the bank manager that the certain Elleine with a swollen lower body is going there and claim her prize. Even advise me to really introduce myself so that they would be sure. My gosh? This is my last pay!? WHY DO THINGS ALWAYS THIS HARD FOR ME? And just to settle things over, I did everything they said and at last, I am able to escape from the nightmare.
I promised myself to never set foot on that company anymore.
To always stand for myself like I did.
To always believe in myself like I did.
And to always love myself than any company that will offer thousands of Pesos in return for you priceless dignity.
This will be my mantra.. My battle cry.. My motto. ^^
That no one will ever step on me. That no one is going to take away my dreams anymore.
That I will always look back to the things that made me stronger and never forget the names of those bullshits.
I promise myself those things after I got out of that hell.
And I will soon be healthy enough to conquer my own world.
Wow! That's deep! ^^
And powerful. And very
me.
I miss you Elleine, come back as soon as you become well.
And I will.
Soon.
:)
Never be afraid to be strong enough to be yourself.
