Endless Horizon

Maybe you'd like to ask "What's with the title?" Or maybe not... Well, I'll tell you anyway. It's the title of my latest poem. I wrote it while listening to a song called "Chiisana Tenohira" (Palm of a Tiny Hand). Anyway, here goes it!

=====================================================
Endless Horizon

Looking back, looking back,
I could see you crying.
I hesitate, almost regretting
Looking back to those lonely days.

Can you remember the wish I made back then?
Our days of tears, disappointments, and hardships,
I wanted to forget them.
Now I wish otherwise.

Watching the forever extending horizon,
Feeling your warm hand within mine
Reminds me of the days long gone;
Those struggling times you never let go.

Our past that is stained with our tears
Now reflects a bright future for us.
I try to imagine the coming years.
I doubt there's anything left to bring us down.

The flightless bird cries;
It could only watch the others fly;
Doing its best to heal its wing;
Someday, it'll soar the highest.

Walking towards the forever extending horizon
With your hand clapsed to mine.
I feel like I could start running.
I'll never let go of your hand.

The times you never gave up on me
and the times I never gave up on you
Will remain with us forever;
Making us stronger.

Watching the forever extending horizon,
Feeling your warm hand within mine
Reminds me of the days long gone;
Those struggling times you never let go.

I just wrote it yesterday. I wasn't even feeling inspired. I just liked the song so much that I felt like writing something with its melody. I feel like I didn't bring the song justice though T.T Anyway, the song was from an anime called CLANNAD (Russian for Family). It was very different from the usual anime I watch and I really like it. Yes, it's so epic it's blog worthy!

As this isn't an anime blog, I won't discuss what's it about. Back to life.

I finally reached my first goal after graduation. To get into HP. I started out with little hope, hearing how strict it was from my brother. After my first interview, my hope of entering decreased. But they told me that the result will be revealed in two weeks so I waited, fearing what might happen when I don't get in. Soon, HP contacted me for my second interview. This time, I felt more ready for questions. But it turned out to be a technical interview, where they gave me a test. All of the items were those I either never encountered before or I forgot about. Then they asked me a few interview questions afterwards, which I wasn't able to answer well due to shock.

I lost all hope after that one. Watching CLANNAD made me reflect on a lot of things about life (yes, it's that epic). After getting inspired, I applied in Smart and other companies I never heard of. Later on, I was placed in wait list in Smart and I found out I wasn't able to send my applications successfully in the other companies. I applied in Jobstreet, which now spams me with jobs I'm not interested in.

Finally, I was contacted by Hp for my third interview. I thought about my first interview and prepared myself. I soon found myself being filled with a lot of information regarding HP. After getting brain-dead, I was asked once again a few questions which I answered with answers I regret giving out. I was told there was an interviewee who would come after me. One was going to be picked.

Turns out, we were both employed. Not that I'm disappointed or anything. I'm actually very happy. And now, I find myself with a lot of documents to collect, apply in, and send to HP. I just hope I make it in time at the pace I'm going.

That's it for now! Catch ya later! ^^
