WISHY WASHY

a former journalist told me yesterday that at the end of the day it's not worth it, running yourself to the ground. for what? dahil masipag ka sa yo lahat itatambak ang utos. oo nga gagaling ka nga pero at what price? and you're serving the agenda of your bosses, which is beyond your control and all you can do is bow, being a slave that you are.

at dahil masipag ka lahat ng trabaho sa yo ipapasa tapos yung iba pakuyakuyakoy lang. at dahil alam nila may magtatrabaho na iba, mas lalong masarap ang pagkukuyakoy nila.

that's the wisdom imparted to me by a former practitioner who is now quite happy and i think who is now growing rich in his new field.

an older colleague yesterday also commented that it's still monday and i am already scowling and deep in my reveries. too serious. taking things too seriously as if what i'm churning out everyday have to qualify for the pulitzer prize.

maybe i let myself be pushed around by my bosses and the whole industry.

i need a break. i hope i get sick. i'm so f*cking tired.
