Getting It And Eating Out

I have been unemployed for almost a year now and it's by choice.
Hear me out.
Jobs are everywhere but I'm very picky. I don't adapt to changes very well so if I get into something, I have to be sure I'd be in it for a long time. I also haven't interacted with people, aside from my family and friends, so I get nervous a lot. My confidence isn't at its all time high so if I don't feel like doing it, I won't go. Which brings us to the third point of this reasoning of why I don't have a job yet - I'm a self-absorbed lazy ass. I don't got to interviews if it's far or if it's too hot. 
Kill me. 

Ella iMessaged me last week about an opening in their company but it's on Ate Riza's (her sister) department. Feeling very positive about this opportunity, mostly because Ella's going to be there for moral support, I decided to give it a go. The interview was this Tuesday and I'm going to keep this short - I got the job! 
So thankful of Ella and Ate Riza. Of course, of my family and friends, who never pushed me to do anything for the sake of money. I never experienced belittling with the people I surround myself with and I will forever be grateful of that.

Met up with Randy and the rest of the gang after to have dinner at this Korean restaurant in Malate called Makchang. I planned on writing about Makchang but as soon as the food was served, we indulged ourselves and I forgot to take pictures of the place and the menu.  My dream of becoming a famous food blogger is dead and I haven't even started yet.
We had Samkyupsal (250 pesos) and Pork Galbi (250 pesos). We like the Pork Galbi more because it's marinated unlike the Samkyupsal, which tastes like a normal grilled pork. But both are delicious when eaten with the lettuce, in which you wrap everything in, and Korean condiments which includes fresh garlic, soybean paste, Pamuchim (green onion salad), Kimchi, and sesame oil with salt and pepper. There's also singkamas and Korean Miso soup. 

Here's what our table looked like. Pretty awesome, yeah?

L-R: Bobbhie, Randy, Fong and Aika.

The food is delicious, fresh and authentic.The place isn't all that fancy but it's nice and the crew were very friendly. We all went out feeling satisfied with what we ate and how much we spent.

Makchang Restaurant is located at 
Adriatico St., Malate, Manila. 
Just beside Robinson's Place, Ermita.

I had a pretty good Tuesday. I went through that nerve-wracking interview but still succeeded and had dinner with my friends. Pain and gain, all in the same day.

The part that really gets me though, is that I can my feel my life changing again. I got so used to just staying at home and I'm at the point in my life where I don't know what to do. What will happen now? Is having a job the answer to my problems? 
I have no idea... But I just have to deal with it. I hope this time, it all works out.
