Professional Antz..

Thank God today is sunday. Not quite a very exciting weekend, but I guess a relaxing day is not bad after all. With added rainy effect outside! This is totally a calm day for me. Away from the everyday traffic and smoky-polluted environment, from my CRT monitor and a not so good PC in the office, from the professional nerdy people.. Basta away from everything! Sounds condemning ba?! No, absolutely not. It just so happened na masaya ako kasi no pressures are being given to me today. Eh pano kasi sunday.. lol.. What I'm trying to say is that, and I bet most of you "working ants" would agree with me, its so nice to have a good time with yourself. But reality bites .. Tomorrow is the start of new week.. New tasks, surprises and encounters.. haha

I've been working for almost a year now. I started working last May 23, 2006 (weeeee Happy anniversary to me) and I must admit, I am enjoying this "working stuff". haha Although during my first quarter as a certified professional, I undergone too many personal problems (but compared to your problems, mine are less deadly). I missed my lifestyle during my college and highschool days. I had a hard time believing that I am now away from may family and friends, away from my "easy-go-lucky" personality, away from my "Juan-tamad" kind of living. Etc. etc. Pero sabi nga nila, "masasanay ka rin"! And they were all correct! Kaya ikaw na medyo nahihirapang iface ang "real world" eh I have somethin to share to you..

For me, I simply enjoy the experience. Taking it not too heavy but not naman so light. In moderation, in a sense. I'm not into taking things too seriously kasi. Mahirap yun, nakakatanda! lol.. Not naman that I can't be trusted with regards to the quality of my work, pero if there are problems related to my work, nde ko lang masyado iniisip especially when I'm at home. Pero I can never deny the fact that I am now responsible for my actions especially sa work. So serious ah..

On the lighter side of the story, naks biglang kabig eh, there are many reasons why we should be happy - let me enumerate some of those -

1. Earning your own money! - yun un eh! Feeding yourself. Isn't it romantic?! haha, seriously though, its really an overwhelming experience na we got to earn our own money. Nde lang para we can buy whatever stuffs we wanted, but yun fact na nde na tau scholar ni nanay at tatay.. Astig diba?!

2. Being more responsible to oneself - yun responsibilities ntin mga working peepz mas mabigat na compared nun tayo'y nagaaral pa. We have to take care of our finances and decisions more carefully. Some of us nagshashare pa sa gastusin sa bahay, ngpapaaral ng mga kapatid.. In a way, our responsibilities become more tougher.

3. Meeting new people - this is one of the most exciting part in a man's professional world. Widening our circle of friends. Mostly kasi, during our school days, we are bound only sa schoolmates natin. But ngayon, we are able to meet new people, yun iba pa nga sobrang bigatin! haha

4. Learning new things - learning doesn't stop when we graduate. Learning is a continuous process. I am so lucky bacause I'm surrounded by bunch of talented and intelligent people in the office.

5. Having good mentors and co-workers - these people are our guides in doing our jobs correctly. Sila ang teachers natin and classmate sa opisina.

There are some other things. Might be posting them some other time. But for now, try to ponder on the things I mentioned. Basta, try to enjoy whatever work you have. I guess there are no easy jobs talaga. Because if ever they exists, nde job ang tawag dun.

I have to go, I need to fetch my laundry. haha tamd kasi akong mglaba. I guess medyo non-sense and naisulat ko. Pero sana kahit pano nakarelate ka!

Celebrating our friendship day..

Woohoo... It's been, what?, 9 years... Nine long years of tough-rollercoaster ride friendship. Years of sharing, fighting, smiling, cryin' and learning! Way to go. Lucky are those who were given this rare chance of having wonderful tropas at your side. Sabi nga nila, you can easily find hundreds of people and make friends with them, pero how you keep them is another thing. Poeple come and go, but true friends will never leave you.
I've been with these gorgeous people for almost a decade now. I've learned so much from them. Its really hard to picture out myself without them. Sadly to say, we're all separated by huge geographical distances. But that would not be a factor, dikit-dikit na kasi ang mga intestines namin. lol
Since our childhood, we've done so many things. From those petty childlike adventures to those mature ones. Hirap talagang kalimutan ang mga napagsamahan. Lalo na kapag mahal mo ang mga taong kasama mo sa lahat ng importanteng days and events in your life. Kakalungkot lang isiping their not beside me in this another milestone in our story of frienship..
Basta guys, nothing will change. And if ever there are changes, I'll assure you, its for the best! I hope that whatever dreams you have in your mind right now will materialize in the next couple of years. I am so grateful that I met you! Sobrang daming times na natin nasabi 'to sa isat-isa but being redundant is not that bad after all. hahaha Misshhooo... Dapat siguro sa friendster ko na lang to pinost, kaya lang sobrang daming peepzz makakabasa kaya dito na lng. atleast my blog is not that famous nor publicly open.
So guyz, enjoy the rest of the day! Happy 9th year anniversary mga kumag! lol.. ja..
