Blog ko ‘toh! (reader discretion is advised)

Yeaaaahhhh! May project na ako! Hehehe. After almost 6 months of waiting, meron na rin ako gagawin dito sa Singapore. 6 months was a long time to wait and of feeling uncertain, I’ve asked myself a lot of times why I need to stay and work here. Ngayon nandito na yung mga project, medyo nabubuhayan na ako ng loob. Nasanay na siguro ako sa environment ng previous work ko sa Philips Calamba na time bounded ang trabaho: kailangan tapos ang report ng ganitong oras, kailangan ready ka na kausap ang mga customers by afternoon (hapon nagigising ang Europe), at by 5:30pm handa ka na rin umuwi, kasi naghihintay na mga kasama mo para sa 2 bottles! at araw-araw mo itong gagawin! I really admire the people there, their dedication (kahit 4am na umuwi galing sa inuman, pasok pa rin sa umaga), resilience to pressure (san ka makakakita ng customer support na sasabihan ang cliente na nagwawala ng: RELAKS) and their attitude towards work and colleagues. Kahit ano pang dumating na problema, tatawanan lang yan at malalampasan din, may pakikisama at tulungan. And to be able to make it look easy and look good while you’re at it is something. Parang hindi ko maramdaman dito sa Philips dito. Iba-iba din pala. I am not discouraged. I am just amazed. How people can be indifferent and judgmental. Kanya-kanyang trip. Project’s here, and its time to kick ass. Sabi sa akin ng boss ko bago ako pumunta dito sa Singapore, what you will do and what you will be there will be what you want your life to be: you can make a difference … or just be like Aga, John Lloyd or Claudine in the movie Dubai, magta-trabaho, mai-inlove at iiyak.
