As you all know, I have been job-hunting a few weeks ago. Because of my experience, I had the opportunity to choose which work I like and not just apply and pray to be accepted to any company. Here are some of my wishes:
Salary - secret! haha!
Benefits - healthcard, at least 10 VLs and 10 SLs (convertible to cash)
Encourages work-life balance
Near our house
Flexible schedule or at least not graveyard shift
Follows Philippine holidays (sana)
Supports trainings
Work value (ayoko ng maliit lang ang contribution ng trabaho ko sa company)
Work environment where I can learn
No cost cutting on supplies (tissue, water, notebook, ballpen, pencil)
Own pedestal
Clean CRs (sana may bidet)
ANG PINAKA-IMPORTANTE - somewhere na I think makakapag-ipon na ako finally. hehe!
Fortunately, God has blessed me with this new job. I'm really thankful kase pati yung bidet napagbigyan at marami pang bonus! I get to work with the smartest people and hopefully soon, I can adopt how their mind works. The company also thinks that their best asset is their people so you can imagine how much I am being taken care of... no shortages on tissue or notebook or laptop or trainings. And as early as my 3rd day, we are already talking about a succession plan. Flexi sched, VLs and holidays allows me to spend more time with people that are important to me. At ang pinaka-importante sa lahat, makakapag-ipon na ako! My main office is just a P7 jeepney ride away and I get to bring pack lunch to save.
Right now, all I can see are the positive things. Maybe I'm still in the honeymoon stage but honestly, I have never valued any job just like how much I value this current work that I have. I hope everything works out great!

i'm a bird. i take flight.
WARNING: This is an emo post. Skip reading this if you can't tolerate emotional reads.
These are true events in my life that tells me that I'm a bird.
1. The bus I was riding zig-zagged along EDSA and finally crashed to a tree in Crame due to reckless driving. I was injured. I had cuts and bruises all over and a few of my bones got sprained. Instead of staying in the accident scene and be interviewed by the policemen and receive due assistance from the bus Operator, I hailed a cab and went to work. I'm a bird. I take flight.
2. Once, a sweet-faced girl betrayed the "unspoken ally" between girls and evaded my relationship with my long-time boyfriend. Unlike other girls, I never confronted the girl. Not even a single text or email. I just stayed quite all throughout the whole ordeal until my boyfriend called it quits. A few months ago, the girl reached out to me and apologized for what she did. I told her to forget about the incident but I can't be chummies with her just like what she wants. I don't fight. I'm a bird. I take flight.
3. Recently, I felt bad about an "uncalled for" incident in the workplace. I might be over-reacting. I might be overly sensitive but I just really felt bad about it. I never knew how it is to have panic attacks until that fateful day. No one knows about this because like I always do, I stay mum all throughout the whole ordeal. I do not wish to talk about this in detail but maybe with this brief explanation, people might understand the effect of that small incident on me. I never had encountered anything like that maybe because I was a "sheltered" girl. Nonetheless, I take that my feelings are valid so like I always do in times like this, I choose flight than fight. I'm a bird. I take flight.
It's probably not the smartest thing to do especially if the consequences of taking flight are too high. Right now, although I disagree, I have to accept that even though I've given them the most sincere service that I can give them, I will leave with a bad reputation. It's unfair on my part because in my point of view, I was the one who was oppressed. But even with these high stakes, I still choose to take flight because I can't suck it up anymore. I wish that someday, people will remember my goodness instead of that one incident that caused me this much. Maybe someday, I will also find it in my heart to forgive but right now, I choose the easiest way out, to take flight.

work avoidance
I have to admit, work sucks these days and it's just too bad that a chock-full of my time is spent in there. So now, I concentrate on how to isolate myself from all these sucky stuff.
Of course, ipod never fails! I listen to happy tunes to lift my spirits even for just a teeny bit. Right now, I listen to I Am Sam OST and 50 1st Dates OST. Oldies but goodies! I know they are not as perky as what's in Nimmy's playlist but whenever I hear these songs, I remember the scenes from both movies and my heart becomes full of love again. :) I like movies or songs or books or what have you that doesn't necessarily have a "love" word but it screams LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
If you can't understand what I mean check out:
Two of us - The Beatles
Strawberry Swing - Coldplay
Signal Fire - Snow Patrol
Satellite Heart - Anya Marina
Breathing - Lifehouse
and a lot more :)
Another thing that I also do to relieve myself from the sucky work stuff is I quietly surf on all things pretty! And by that, I meant pretty fashion stuff 'cause uhm, I'm a little bit into fashion. teehee! My favorite websites are:
http://jakandjil.com/blog/
http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com/
http://www.frugal-fashionistas.com/
http://www.whowhatwear.com/website/home.php
http://www.style.com/
Most of all, I go out the office as soon as I can. I feel blissful everytime I reach my room! I just feel so happy that I'm no longer at the office.
I know this can't go on forever. This is just a phase and I'll get out of this phase with grace as soon as I figured things out with the universe. :)
