No, I'm not getting married. At least not yet. lol.
So during the weekend, one of my parent's friend happens to be a scout for a Philippines Basketball Association. What are the odds? He doesn't scout directly for the PBA but its farm teams ("minor league"). He asked me if I would be interested in playing abroad. And well, being just laid off, how can I possibly say no?
Its not concrete though. I really haven't played much since I started my triathlon quest a year and a half ago. Mostly because I usually get injured playing basketball and want to be competitive at triathlons. I briefly thought about going to the Philippines to live just for the experience and what better way that to play basketball. They have triathlons in the Philippines as well so I can still get my fix.
I didn't see myself being in such a horrible crossroad in my life. Laid off for the second time in a year and a half's time. Having the burden of a house. Still unmarried and no kids. What happened to my promising life? It gets almost depressing when I think about it. I woke up today later than I have in months wondering what I should do today. I applied to all the jobs on all the job sites, even jobs I wasn't even qualified or didn't ever want to do.
Maybe I should head back to school. Maybe go to the Philippines and get that Physical Therapy degree. Stop fiddling around with this toy designer dream and get a grounded career. It seems to be a growing tread amoung people I know who are switching up what they want to do with life. Maybe I should do the say. Or maybe I should chase down this basketball dream and live up to the potential. I'm only young once and still single. So why not? I'll see if I can make this happen. Go to the Philippines, try to make it to the big leagues over there, if not, go to school there for my Ph. D.
