first day high!
April 3, 2008april fools!
there, my first day of work and it’s april fools! good thing no one pulled a prank on me, after all, it is my first day.
it went well… i came early… bumped into a friend who also works at PAL and accompanied me all the way to my new office, at least for the whole month of april…
first stop… look for the freakin bundy clock! the guard didn’t give me specific instructions! rarr! so i asked around and an older employee showed me where it is. thank you sir!
then, i found my way to the office and waited for my new boss. she came a few minutes later and gave me a manual to read… the manual was small so i finished reading it in a jiffy… then came more reading materials… since i am a fast-reader, i finished it in no time, not really digesting everything… it is my first day after all.
then she gave me an overview of the policies, the structure, all the basic stuff… then introduced me to everyone… too many names… i can barely remember all of them… oh well, i’ll get to know their names by heart in a few weeks or so… i hope…
my training starts on the 24th of april at the PAL Learning Center in Padre Faura… Manila! rarr! it is too far! and i hate that area! too many people, too many sidewalk vendors, too many everything!!! i will undergo training for almost two months… student life again! haha!
then i am off to makati where i will be permanently assigned… my workmates are okay, some of them funny and accommodating and friendly too! too bad there aren’t any good looking guys in our department! booooooo!!!
this is REALLY it!
March 27, 2008the day has come!
the day transpired with me undergoing the processing of my employment at PAL! damn! it is a bit tiring! but then again, when i looked at my new PAL ID, it finally dawned on me that i am no longer dreaming! haha! two years in the making din toh! wait, make that three years! haha!
but you see, it pays off… thank you God!
i’ll be starting on the first of April, wish me luck! i do hope that i do well in my new job! and do spare me the boss from hell! i think i have had my share of that in my previous job… not that my previous boss was a mean one, but some of my previous co-workers were… damn them! but that part of my life is over… i am starting anew! but i think, i am in good hands… my superiors are nice and i am feeling better already… how about co-workers? i’ll meet them next week… hopefully there are good-looking guys in the work place! haha!
blog freeze!
March 26, 2008i never thought it would come to this…
i suddenly ran out of things to say… that is a major problem! enormous if i would say so myself! but no worries! i am my old self again… i am at a blogging frenzy state… i just don’t know why it happened but it did happen and it is close to catastrophic!
what is my life without me ranting and complaining and sharing my thoughts and criticizing and… and… you know what i mean…
deej just sent me a message that i was no longer blogging! yup! what the hell is wrong with me?! i guess she just got tired of visiting my site and seeing the same old blog i posted a month ago! i am sorry…
i think living a bum’s life doesn’t do any good to my brain! believe me, i think the brain got even more stagnant since i was practically doing nothing! no intellectually stimulating activities to tickle my brain! that is sooo sad! indeed!
i apologize to my blog for taking it for granted… i guess i was just too lazy to type or just too lazy to think of an interesting topic that has happened or just write about anything… but all of that is in the past now… i am back!
the verdict is IN!
and there i was… on my bed… still catching up on lost sleep, since i stayed up til two in the morning… whenever i open my eyes, contemplating on getting up and dragging my ass out of bed or just sleep in until the afternoon, i fumbled for my cellphone to check any messages.
ariane’s photo filled the screen… a message came from her… i was thinking she again forgot something or she needed me to do something for her… i read her message: prinz u passed the med exam! o my gosh! this is it!
yup! sleep flew right out of the window! haha! i was like… OH MY GOSH! I’M IN!
i called out for joyz who just entered the bathroom… wondering why i was calling out to her in high-pitched tones! she probably thought something bad happened… anyway, i just told her i’m in! and all she could do was make the thumbs up sign! haha! can’t blame her… she had to pee… and she just woke up…
so there… dreams do come true! haha! and third time’s a charm! prayers work too! thank you GOD!
i will be a PAL employee! yippee! my family was excited about the news and so are my friends!
wish me luck! i would no longer be a bum! i’ll start on the first of april! i can’t wait!
i discerned…
a month-long hiatus isn’t really enough to wallow in silence and assess how my life has been going for the passed years… i think i would need a year or so to do that… my last post was about how confused i was… but i decided to take the risk… i decided to go with PAL! although i know i still have to pass the medical exam from which i failed two years ago…
still, i went with PAL… third time’s a charm, right? i certainly hope so…
why did i choose PAL? well, for one, i want to work for PAL because of its benefits and of course career-growth. now why do i feel like i’m in an interview again? haha! seriously, it is because of the benefits and the career growth. at this point in my life, i have to know what i really want and where i see myself growing old with (career-wise of course!). and believe me, i am not getting any younger and i think it is about time that i go for the one that i really want and i know where i’ll be happy… does it make any sense at all? well, to me it does.
so i lived a bum’s life for the month of march, i resigned from my job and i couldn’t be any happier! it was a relief! but with that, there was boredom! yup! it is a bit boring just staying at home and just lounge infront of the television, watching reruns and sipping my fave juice drink! yup! why the hell am i complaining? haha! i am just not a fan of idle moments and unproductive activities… good thing we were moving to a new and bigger unit at that time so i kept myself preoccupied with that.
i also subjected myself for PAL’s medical exam, and continuously prayed that i pass the exam. just waiting for the result kills me! who would not be? results don’t come out til a month after… pretty long right? patience is indeed a virtue! so i lived a bum’s life… nothing out of the ordinary happened while i was a bum… bummer!
