Ka-Blog!

My fault.  I should have said I can’t do it the first time I was asked.
      Now that I know how much the offered gig would line my frayed and lonely pockets, I want to kick myself for asking.
      I was asked if I am interested in the editorship of a Hong Kong newspaper.  Urgent daw; ready to fly next week.
      Actually, I blame Rhea Veda "Maganda Daw" De Los Santos too.  Sabi niya, maganda siya.  Kaya sinagot ko rin siya ng pabiro.  I said that if they’re offering 5k a month, then I’m good.
       Hindi naman ganun kalaki.  But what I would get as "allowance" in two years, I would get as a month’s salary.  Not bad, di ba?
       It is really a case of bad timing.  Had it been offered to me less than half a year ago, I would have grabbed at the opportunity to earn real money.  The gig’s perks include doing some "poltasks" pa rin naman.  Not a bad deal, huh?
       Pero, I am happy where I am.  And although I am swamped with too many tasks (that I think I am doing good at), I am fulfilled naman–hindi nga lang financially.
       Incidentally, I will be commemorating my 13th year as an "official" tibak come Monday , November 15, Teddy Casiño’s birthday.  (Kasalanan mo, Vilma Santos!)
       I am tempted.  But I don’t believe in the 13th year, or any other goddamn year, itch.  I must decline. 
       Damn!
