I Love You, My Dear Career
Finding your career path should be the same as dating. Like we've come so far to improve the love department that we are able narrow down what we want in our potential life partner. Finding someone right for you isn't easy—like how they play it in the movies. Of course it's very simple to absorb what you see on TV and implement it to your real life. I guess you can say this is where we always go wrong. We observe what appears to be healthy and loving on the outside that we forget that movies have an end and the characters are portrayed by actors and second the couples we encounter in our everyday life are not going home with us every night. (I swear this ties in about career related things.)

What are you thinking? That question seems to fly around freely in most of our parent's or friend's mouth. Especially from a family that is Asian, Filipino to be exact. What am I thinking? To want to become an actor. Why not a nurse, a banker, or lawyer, as my future was already set for me.

I was born in a seaside town in North West England to an amazing mother and father, my mother is a firefighter, and my father had a fish and chip shop. I grew up like any other kid from my area. During primary school, I had a fantastic group of friends, one of whom I'm still friends with today, and she's the best person I know and is always there to listen to me whenever I need her (even if she is terrible at picking up the phone).

One Paycheck Away from Disaster
I've been fired once, and laid off once. I was out of work from January 2011 until November 2012 after being fired from a financial institution shortly after New Year's Day due to several errors I made. I was lucky that the company was found to have not given me sufficient training and was thus awarded unemployment insurance in the amount of $430/week, for a year. In my previous job, I'd been earning $41,000/ year, living in an apartment with a rent of $950/month I had $16,000 in savings. In addition, that year, I got a tax refund of about $3,000. I moved back in with my Mom who charged me $400/month in rent.
