29 days
che-che bureche
Ano na nga bang nangyari?! 29 days na lang, matatapos na ang pagdurusa ko.Well, ibang level lang nga.
Emotionally and mentally - let me discuss this first coz i think this is and still going on, my greatest challenge here. I think and i feel that i am now coping up.The crying has lessened and I am starting to get used to who I'm interfering with.I also developed a new hobby - watch movies on dvd for hours straight until my eyes hurt.I also discovered some great places with great food - with the help of my boss too (libre ako lagi!).Having those people in the office around is not such a terrible experience though sometimes I really don't feel like talking to them, wala lang. Totoo nga ang sabi nila, nakakapagod ang makipag-usap sa kanila.Anyway, they make my adjustment a lot easier, emotional wise.Coz I get to set aside the loneliness at work.Everybody seems to be concerned about me, if I have something for dinner, if I have a ride, if I want to go out for lunch or on weekend...generally, mabait sila. Isa na lng ang problema ko talaga dito, kung pano uubusin ang pagkain.Sa liit kong to, pakainin ba ako ng pang-higanteng pagkain?!Tapos, halos lahat ng plato dito parang serving plate!Pero ang nakakatuwa, bottomless ang drinks.
Professionally - ayos lang. I think I've been exposed so far to the easy ones. And the dirty ones are about to come - baka this coming week. But I am really inspired to work because of the compliments they are saying - most of them expressively.Ganon ata talaga sila e, they say what they mean.Coz when I committed something not so acceptable, sinabi agad sa akin - straightforward. Katulad kanina.I was having these trouble with my report, so I sent an e-mail informing them the report will be sent late.My immediate boss approached me right away that I should have made my message much clearer - if it was a system problem or what coz I should avoid daw an impression that I had a problem doing it - ung parang impression na hindi ko sya magawa coz hindi ko maintindihan or it was a problem I created myself - ang gulo ko ata dito sa part na to. Well, it was a system problem. Then the VP called me up - kala ko tungkol sa report na.He lent me this laptop and showed me the way on how to connect to the internet and be able to chat - cool guy! Before I left his office, he commented that he was having good feedbacks about me and he hoped that I continue working good. Tapos ung nga, ung nag-email ung immediate boss ko na sobra akong na-surprise and na-inspire.I never heard/read those words from my bosses at Bayantel.They did, pero laging may sundot na hindi maganda so bawi lang.But anyway...
Financially - wag na nating isali to.
Side trip - gusto ko lang i-share ung mga anecdotes ko so far.
- Ang pitsel - ung pitsel na provided dito ginagamit kong pang-hugas ng pwet pag ume-ebak ako.Hindi kaya nagtataka ung taga-linis kung baket may tabo sa cr?
- Ang mahiwagang dishwasher - unga, inikot ko switch or something, testing lang ba kung ano un, e tumunog!Siempre panic ako.Tinawag ko ung maintenance.So in-explain nya na normal lang na tumutunog un pag-on mo and dapat may laman - e hindi ko nga alam buksan nung una e.
- Ang mahiwagang dishwasher part 2 - naubusan ako ng powder dishwasher so ginamit ko ung palmolive liquid dishwasher na nasa lababo - kala ko kse pde.Tapos nanood na ako.Langya, pagtingin ko sa kusina, bahang baha na tapos ang laki ng bula!Panic ulit ako.Tumawag ako ng housekeeping service tapos lumabas ako para maglaba (to be continued)
- And laundry area - habang iniwan ko don ang higantend bula, umakyat ako para maglaba only to find out na ndi ko rin alam i-operate un.So helpdesk na naman ako...
- Ang plantsa - steam iron ang gamit dito.Nag-panic ulit ako nung una ko syang gamitin kse may tubig na nagli-leak.Namputsa, kala ko makukuryente na ako e
- Ang mga conversations - good enough na i've been complimented for speaking well daw sabi nung isnag trainor.but not all the time, u can speak well here or ako lang ang may problem.ewan ko.but one time, may kumausap sa akin - taga HR.he said something then tumawa ako.sabi nung katabi nya (ung trainor ko na pumuri sa aking actually), "you were supposed to answer him coz he's asking u, that's a question!" tapos bigla syang umalis na tumatawa ng malakas.naiwan akong tulala, as in.tapos natawa ulit ako.
To sum it all, this is really a great experience. Nagpapasalamat pa rin ako I was given a chance.Kaya finally binili ko na ung digicam.Walang konek di ba?! C433 kse wala ng stock nung C530. (Sha read this)
Kidding aside, I realized, after two weeks, wala naman akong choice na e. Nandito na ako, kahit maglupasay pa ako, hindi pa ako pedeng umuwi sa Pinas.Malungkot pa rin, just like now.Mag-isa lang ako dito - namimiss ko pa rin ang family ko lalo na ung dalawa kong makukulit na mga bubwit sa bahay.Naiiyak pa rin ako pero hindi na katulad ng dati.Every hour nagigising pa rin ako at naalimpungatan kung nasan ako.Weird di ba?!
Sana naaliw kayo sa pagbasa nito.
