Identity Crisis

Right after graduation from College, I was offered by different insurance agents of their several products that best suit me. I never saw the need for me to have one then. It is not til I get back that whenever I go out anywhere or wherever, people are like bees talking, if not asking each other if they have insurance, what company, how much, this and that, blah, blah, blah.

It was not so long ago when somebody (a guy who happens to have the same birthday as me, just a year older) offered his product & even e-mailed it to me (though he said it is STRICTLY confidential).Which by the way, I never had the time to look at since I was busy with my single life.

And just last week, at one time during my bank visit, as I waited for some assistance to something, this lady who turned out to be an insurance agent explained her product in a flash. 5mins tops.

Great job as it is, I’ve been working for almost 6 years now, pretty tiring. And look where it got me.

With the current issues and law cases regarding insurance companies and the rise of different new diseases, I couldn’t help but ask myself and some people the benefits of having one, and yes, what I’ve to give up to have one and the best or maybe the better company which offers these things.

Though we might have SSS, Philhealth & Pag-ibig, GSIS also for government employees as monthly deductions, are these agencies enough to supply or provide when something comes up? How long can they release the money, just in case?

(I know sometimes it’s gonna rain – says Neyo, my background song as I write this, apparently for me, what happened the last two days is typhoon. Tell you about it sometime.)

And so just 3 days before I turn 28, for the first time in my life, I signed up. Geez.. can you believe that?
I signed up?!

To a 20 year contract with this insurance company and paid the first annual fee. Isn’t that something?
Me? Signing up? Haha!

Anyways, my agent is a 45-yr old lady who has approximately 5M amount of insurance for herself alone. Good thing for her, I seldom enjoy window shopping (I enjoy shopping, seldom window shopping) so it didn’t take her to explanation that much.

Sales talking and building rapport, her first expression when meeting me was something like “ganun pala ung boses mo e maganda ka”. I grinned. Im pretty sure I grinned. Couldn’t be more positive. Hehe.

On our 2nd meeting however, she said I was a man trapped inside a pretty woman’s body. Because I think like one and that I’m more concerned on the technical branch of her products. And added “sayang”. This time I laughed out loud. We both did.

And I remember someone told me my beauty is a curse.

Now I’m confused.

Identity crisis?

Tell me about it.

Haha!
