I planned on going to Buendia to get a bus ride home but while walking outside San Isidro I saw a bus that was half full and immediately jumped inside because I was tired and sleepy. I took a window seat and closed my eyes for a bit right after I have paid my fee. An old woman sat beside me then asked where I was from and where I went. I spoke and told her that Im on my way home from an interview for a hotel position and was tired and tad bit hopeless because it always ends up the same after every interview. She then told me about hes grandson that graduated BS-HRM last march just like me and that her grandson wants to be a hotelier someday. We talked and talked from Pasay up until the Jac Liner Passenger check at Don Bosco, then she suddenly said; See the top building over there hijo? (pointing at a tall erected building within Makati ave.) That building over there is your stage. Youd be pouring your heart out.. All your skills, talents, life force and passion will be spent on that building and you will never regret every ounce of sweat that you will shed. Youll reach the top of that building as long as you have FAITH. I then looked at the building then at the old lady. I smiled at her, a little teary eyed from what she said. Then I said; Thank you po! Ill do my best! I felt lighter after that and as the checker finished the passenger count I closed my eyes.. A few minutes later I felt machine-gun tap on my shoulder, I opened one eye and it was the conductor of the bus.. The old lady was gone and I was already at Balibago Complex, I thanked the conductor for waking me up and then went out of the bus. I rushed home and searched on the internet for the building the old lady was pointing at. It was the hotel that I was applying for.. Then I checked my cellphone, I received a text saying that I passed the initial interview and that I was invited for a job offer this coming week for the position that I applied for. I wondered who that old lady was until I remembered what she looked like and how she lectured me. I smiled, looked up, prayed and thanked God. Because when I was about to lose hope.. God gave me a sign.. And he sent my grandmother to give it to me.
