To Boldly Go Where I've Never Gone Before...
So this is pretty much it. There's really no turning back from now on. (Well, actually there is, but that's tantamount to failure and a lot of LOSS, LOSS, LOSS.)
Made my first visit to BIR to file stuff; if only to know how the whole shebang worked. Didn't take 15 minutes, I was near hysteria from all the forms that needed to be filled out and filed. It just amazes me how one can keep track of what forms are due when. There's a 2250M, an 1160C which is different from an 1160E...
what da....
Good thing Junn, El Presidente, was there to cover for me. At least he had an idea of which forms go to where. I absolutely had no freakin' idea. The downer is, we seem to be late in filing certain forms already. We haven't even started operating and we have dues already?!?!
Freakin' hell!
But I'm calm. Really I am.
I just need to find me an accountant. And fast.
Who'd work for peanuts because that's all I can afford for now.
And I ain't kidding.
Thus, the saga continues.
What follows in the wild world of entrepreneurship? One never really knows... Yet we foolishly march on.
My Life's Dream
Now, most people do actually have one. And most people I've asked this question to, in moments of awkward silence or plain boredom, answer with either (1) a life partner (2) kids (3) a place to make a home with or (4) all of the above.
While that appeals to most people and that I have a healthy dose of respect for people who do have those domesticated goals. I, for the life of me, cannot see myself as having abovementioned dreams.
I don't hate them. And in fact, in the long run, I might just settle for those aspirations. But then comes the phrase "settle for." It sounds as if I had no other choice and this is what I'm left with. Which I sincerely hope would not and NEVER be the case.
But I digress....
What is my Life's Dream?
Good question. And I wish I had a decent answer. The closest thing to an answer I suppose would be to make something out this existence. What that "something" is I honestly don't know.
Maybe it's to make The Next Great Film.
Or to blow up a prominent Metro Manila structure (at least on film)...
Or maybe it's to cause some sensational scandal in politics...
Heck.... It's all up in the air.
But then again, to those that DO have their life dreams in check. I salute you.
To my fellow searchers, I can only say this:
IT'S OKAY TO BE A BUM.
REALLY... IT IS.
LEAST I THINK SO....
Thus far...
Staring blankly into the screen. I wonder what's become of me so far. Finally landed my first real paying gig and somehow feel both exhilarated and drained from the experience. Pretty sure there was a better way of doing things. Which only goes to show that there's a lot of things i DO KNOW and a LOT MORE that I DON'T.
working on getting Pitik-Bulag Productions going. So far, so good. No real project yet. But I'm working on that. Maybe a bit more effort than what I'm currently putting in. That's my fault. I let too many things distract me. (Which is so TYPICAL of me anyway.)
On a sidenote, last Friday, I got wrapped in Saran Wrap and then steamed (hopefully to perfection).
I finally know how leftovers feel like.
My only regret was that I had to pay 400 pesos for the experience.
Go figger...
