hmmm how should i start this?
well, for starters i left my job na. the morning after i resigned it felt like breaking up with a boyfriend. haha it reminded me talaga how it's like. natatawa nalang ako. umulan pa. haha kasi nung unang panahon, as ironic as it is, everytime i break it off with a guy it would always rain. kaya coincidence talaga. Pero like break-up scenarios, no regrets.
Nakaka-touch lang kasi tablahan ang drama sa opisina haha as in nung una parang di na nila ako pinapansin, tapos nung nag-email ako ng kalokohan balik sa dati na at nagreply pa ang mga bruha. hehe nakakatuwa lang kasi with a stint as short and a resignation as sudden, andami ko na agad nakaclose. Nakakamiss talaga. I'm really happy though, i mean everytime i get to sacrifice like this.. not a soul can sense i'm happy with the decision i made coz it wont show and i wont deliberately show it. It's worth it kasi. Now that i have all the time i need right now for my kid, grabe yung euphoria. Of all the things that i've written in my book of life, this aspect of euphoria is the best one yet. I'm no over-achiever kasi, no title connected to my name... hmmm but as i said i don't need a title to feel good about myself. still not aiming to be complacent okay. hehe it just feels best when i just am. not trying to be anything other than- well, what i am.
Talked to a friend working in the company i'll be working for, and i'm looking forward to my first day {20th of April}. Atleast may clearer grasp na ko ng mga duties ko/ job description. I'll know what to expect na. Pag nakaipon naman ako business venture na {as I've been plotting since highschool}. :p

I loved our weekend getaway at Tuguegarao! Posted pictures at multiply na. Grabe i wanna go back hehe Kaso gastos hehe oh well, someday i'll get to travel big time.
I'm destined for greatness. Success is not defined by the girth of your wallet or size of your bank account, it is how you can see perfection in a world where the only perfect thing that exists is the word ("perfect") itself.

Torn between two offers (naka nams!!)I feel so blessed and overwhelmed.
I have a job which I've learned to love, and i'm so at home already. It's only been a month but i feel like i've been working here for a year! No, my colleagues are not maldita, not at all! i actually fell in love with them in an instant. i know it seems too soon and some may even think i'm exaggerating, but boo yah! im not. All the people I've talked to say one thing. That you stay here not for the salary, may be for work, but mainly you stay because of the people, the camaraderie... I'm actually enjoying myself. I don't feel the hassle of working overtime (and i'm happy coz i can charge it like that yihee). So why the drama???
Here's the flipside of the story- October of 2008 I applied for a job as a Financial Analyst at ***&*&*&*, they said I got in but I wasn't able to come on board because it's an american company and everyone knows the dealy-yoh with the economic crisis so their action point is to go on freeze hiring and they were left w/ no choice but to reshuffle. I got pretty disappointed but what can I do? They told me that once new projects come their way they'll hire me on the spot.
March 04, 2009 I received an email from their Operations Manager inviting me for an interview. Man I was pretty psyched about it coz I got a hunch of what it's about. March 11 I was set for an appointment with their country manager, one of their big bosses. I was really flattered with everything he said. He even told me that he remembered me well coz I was the one who did all that research. I did. :) And I guess all those preparations paid off. He knew I didn't have any financial background. Though he knew that I worked for one of the largest multinational banks. He was actually the SVP of that same bank years back. He knew my former bosses still. He asked me to choose from the three new projects they have. Apparently they're ramping up and the expansion includes me in his mind. Me? Being pirated by some big shot boss? who da thunk? lol
Long story short..... He put a price on the table. Money-wise, I'd take it. But as I said, I love what I'm doing right now. That's why I can't decide!
To be continued...
