Seven days later, I still had no calls. Not a single one. Well, that is, from the companies I sent my resume to. Logan was the only one we kept calling to ask me about my job hunt. No matter how many times people tell me to forget about it first, how could I do that when my future is on the line here?!

After two weeks, still there was nothing. Whenever my email said I had a new message, my excitement would be crushed when I logged on only to find another email from Deal Grocer.

Three weeks later, a call came from one of the most sought-after publications in the country. I printed my resume and sample works, dressed up, and participated in a two-part interview only to be told that I wasn't good enough. Normally, that would have sent me into a crying fit and depressed state. Oddly though--and much to Logan's surprise--I felt nothing. I even laughed about it over dinner at Empire Deli & Restaurant three days after I got the call from their HR department.

"Are you okay?" Logan asked, touching my arm in that sympathetic but rather alarmed way, while we were having a steak-and-pasta dinner.

"Yeah, why?" I answered when my laughter subsided.

"Well, someone just told you...that...your writing style is, well, not good enough," he said slowly.

"Then I've more to learn," I heard myself saying. "Did I just say that?"

"Who are you?" Logan joked.

I really don't know what happened there. It seemed as though I wasn't the one who said those words. Perhaps I really did change so much.

"Ibang-iba ka na ngayon, ah," Logan remarked.

I smiled. If there's one thing I've learned from listening to all the audio books of The Secret, it's this: Never doubt yourself.

I just have this great feeling somewhere inside me. I just know that something bigger is meant for me.
