Born as an average citizen in the city of Marawi, this guy had actually cruised the sea and travelled miles to reach the city of Manila where he now lives and work. With a degree of Civil Engineering on his resume, he put on an epic journey to reach the heights of his career. He had a stop on a company owned by J. Lo, i.e Crystal Steel Fabricator's (Phil) Inc, where he stayed for 2 months. And not a while ago, he started his quest with a vision to go beyond the horizon where his dreams await. And he found the perfect place to start, in Hyder...
**due to privacy rights and demand of confidentiallity of the interviewee, we shall disclosed the persons name and give him an initial M.E...
Me 1: After such a long silence, why now?
M.E. : I wouldn't call it "silence", I was always vocal, maybe on a selected people, or things (gave a smirk smile), but definitely not silence.
me1 : ok let me refresh the question, after not talking to me before, why talk to me now, me as the P.U.B.L.I.C, you know, if that's you wanna call me.
M.E. : that's more like it, well I gotta say I have a bad sense of timing, I can't really say this is the right time but I am sure this is not a wrong time, get what I mean?
me1 : hmm, let's just pretend I understand what you mean, so how are you comfortable with talking to us now, you know, letting them know you.
M.E. : who say's I am, but being not comfortable doesn't have to mean you have to stay hidden, If there is another way to do it, like hide behind the closet while telling you all this, then I would be more happy to do that...
me1 : well, I am happy we don't have a closet in here, I don't wanna talk with a closet, we might change the title of this show if that happens "ME AND THE TALKING CLOSET!"
(Laughs, claps)
me1 : so let's get to the BEEE.... as in BIG question, hope it doesn't sting. You've always envisioned yourself to reach immeasurable heights in your life, how far have you gotten?
M.E. : If I have to listen to what my friends, family, crush, even to those who barely know me, I would say, I've climbed the half the mountain so far..
me1 : that's qui..... (get interrupted)
M.E. : BBBUT, personally speaking, if I have to asses myself, I haven't been on the 3rd floor of a 850m building. Well I wouldn't say I haven't reach the 2nd floor cause I'm pretty sure I've been there (giggles) (*M.E. is the 2nd placer in the CE board Exam jan. 2008).
me1 : don't you think that's a bit harsh to rate yourself considering what you've been through.
M.E. : maybe, but I can't stop from wondering why it has to be that way, everytime I feel I'm starting get the momentum to get higher, then boom, it will then feels like I've just move an inch, or much worst, even move backward.
me1 : why? is it the family, the kind of environment?
M.E. : nope, definitely not, the family's great, one of the best I would say, the environment where I grew, maybe a little, but I found friends that fill up the holes. The friends, hmm, adventurous times but we've always manage to get through it all, I still came to where I am after all.
me1 : so are we missing something?
M.E. :I have to say, it's me, don't know what's worng, but with the way my set of mind is right now, it's gonna be a bumpy ride, I'm very much sure I can reach beyond that horizon I sought so much, but the way I'm gonna reach it and the amount of time it would take, that's what I dont know. If I want a smooth ride, I guess I have to make my mind clear and be focus on one thing, reach that goal.
me1 : nice, any last word?
M.E. : Life in general had always been mysterious, you may not understand everything, or anything at all. But you don't have to understand everything, what's important is for you to know that life become less mysterious if you understand the right things. seek for that things.
me1 : how does that relate to that subject????
(..pause)
me1 :we will have more of M.E. after a few minutes (months!!!). thanks and good day....
