Plants vs. Shara
Plants vs. Shara
I was about to doze off again when my phone rang. Unknown landline number. Ah, might be from the GS. After i picked up, the woman on the other end of the line started talking about an interview.
I'm scheduled to have an interview. On Tuesday. At the Conference Room.
When my hazy mind processed the information, i realized that she was almost talking nonsense.
Who's on the line??
What interview??
I politely let her finish and then asked where she is calling from.
Then i got it.
It was from the Institute of Plant Breeding. One of the offices that i dropped my application letter, resume and transcript of records at. I saw the ad last week about a vacant item. Last week, when i was still lost and directionless.
It was research. Yet, i passed the requirements for the application. It was an item..a permanent position under the OVCRE of UPLB. It was almost worth being locked up in their laboratories while enjoying the privileges of being permanently employed in the university.
Yet again, i have to turn it down..it was just an interview, yes..i might not be accepted, who knows?? But im pretty good at interviews. My apologies for being too confident. I know they'll get me.
So there, i explained and shut off the possibility of a permanent job..i felt like shit for a while..but then i remembered my long-term goal..i have to improve myself and be employed not as a reseacher but an educator in my alma mater. I know i have to study again.
Learn more..i convinced myself..but i could not stop pacing back and forth inside my room. I decided to get out and breathe some fresh air. And at the Garden Show my feet brought me.
I dont really admire small plants. I love trees more. But i got to see something new. I walked around though uninterested. Leaves. Fruits. Flowers. Everything is so feminine. Argh.
Then i got to this small area where my eyes were caught by cute little plants. They were so relaxing to stare at. They were in clumps and were very inviting to the eyes. I asked the person in charge what the plants were.
Lo and behold!! They were Selaginella! Gulp.
I faked a smile, hiding my guilt. Oh! Where did my brains hide?? Eaten by zombies perhaps.
I continued going around and bought a cactus and a bromeliad. Easy to grow, yes.
I was almost tempted to go around again just to satisfy my eyes. Though colorful flowers wither, seeing nature provides calmness and you tend to breathe them in deeply..thus, before i start wheezing and sneezing, i went my way out of the place.
