Hi!
Here comes the second post!
Speaking of, one of the magical creation in the universe.
A Rainbow.
Just the sight of one can send us babbling into happiness.
But, have you ever seen a Double Rainbow?
I'm not sure how rare is the occasion.
As for me, it was as rare as I've only seen it twice since as I could remember.
But,
does it mean anything significant to you?
Does it ring something to you whenever you see rainbow or double rainbow?
Did you close your eyes & make a wish when you see it?
According to my (google) research 😁:
Some people took it as a sign of good fortune.
Some people believe it's the sign of major transformation.
From spiritual point of view, it's presenting you with an opportunity for growth, self- discovery, and evolution. Thus It brings a magical energy into your world, the energies of peace & prosperity, abundance, sacredness and success.
When it comes to me, personally..
There is something extraordinary about having a double rainbow appear in my life.

Back in 2015, I already had my first job after graduated. I was working as a Quality Assurance Analyst at a Software/IT System company which is very very near to my house (Gosh.. That was golden moment where I don't have headache about crazy traffic) 😁
It was all good, my boss is a very nice (and rich) Chinese Man. It was a small, 20 years established company with good turnover every year. They might only have around 10 - 15 staffs that time. Part of my responsibilities was, to analyze and review the business requirements and functional specification so that the system and software will be improved and 'user-friendly'. As I'm not the technical person, they need this non tech girl to enhance the system so it won't be too complicated for the end-user which is non-technical person or what we would call as 'layman'. It is very important to create a system, apps or system that is understandable, easily access, anticipated and effectively respond to end-user needs.
It was all fun, good and peaceful time of my life until I got bored of the desk and 9 am-6 pm routine. One morning, I was called by my boss, telling me he got something to discuss about. I went to his room, wondering what was it all about?
"Ariesya, I was thinking to re-assign you for corporate sales position. I see so many potentials in you, you have good communication skills, you're young, vibrant and you like to smile and laugh. You will be perfect for this role and I believe you can bring more businesses for us" *laugh in prosper* 😖
To cut it short, I have no other choices. They said the apps and system has been completed and launched. Part of my job has completed as it only required me to review the system and apps during the pre-launching phase and now my job scopes would be lesser as the project has been completed.
Me doing sales? I don't know.... But I wasn't rejecting tho. I just don't know what should I do? (mind you I was fresh out of oven and their sales method is really traditional, they don't even have sales or proper marketing strategy) They just told me to simply go out, take any numbers, call and arrange for meeting. The Sales Manager didn't guide me on how to approach customers other than doing telemarketing.
The first task the Sales Manager asked me to do is to re-call existing customers since 20 years ago. Other than that, she just asked me to drive around and take any phone numbers or email I can see on the road while driving, and call to sell our apps and software 😁
I did it for a month and decided that this wasn't for me. I don't vibe for this job & place. I need to learn something more ( I know it sounds shallow, I was super young that time and I always thought there's something more to explore out there lol)
The job hunting began as I tried my best to find better opportunity. The main point is, during that job hunting phase, I was in several state of emotions.
Frustration, hope, fear, doubt and worry.
Everyday I'll shoot myself with my own-negative self thoughts and questions,
what if I didn't make it?
Who would hire me?
What if I stuck here with nowhere to go?
All sort of bad thoughts that wasn't helping at all.
It was one fine evening as I came across a double rainbow and somehow it drew my attention for a little while. I don't know, there's this kind of feeling as I stare at the rainbow. I was mesmerized, I stopped and adored it for a little while.
Amazingly, it chose to appear during the times when I was desperately in need of a new job.
