It’s ON.

As in, OVERNIGHT!

Of course, it’s not new to me to still be up at this hour. But the thing that I’m not used to is to work. No not really as per se. But actually, work at the client’s premises. Yes, I’m staying over night here at The Fort. Not becausewe’re inefficient and can’t finish our workload with the required time, it is because… well, yeah, because we can’t finish our workload with the required time. Haha.

The last time I did this was when I got assigned to a client with a nightshift schedule. Last year pa iyon! Anywaaaaaaay…. here’s a picture of me with the people I’m working with at the moment. Hehe.

Thirty minutes after this picture taking, one fell asleep. Hahaha. Guess who!!!

In another note, what’s your top score on Temple Run? Hahaha! Nakaka-3+ million na ako! Hahaha. ^_^ Pinagsikapan ko ‘yun! No cheats or whatsoever. Haha. Dugo’t pawis. LOL.

Okay, I better go back to work. Good mornight! :)

SECOND IN FIRST

It was not your top priority firm to work at. Heck, it wasn’t even on your list when you were job hunting. Even worse, you didn’t know about it when you were studying. You might have heard it once or twice but it didn’t make an impact in your memory. Still, you pursued it anyway. Apparently, the firm you were prioritizing didn’t prioritize you in hiring.

Aside from it being not ~~your first choice, the department you got into was as much of a setback.~~ But seriously? Who thinks landing a job is a form of failure? Through faith and optimism, you threw all your worries and frustrations to trash and made the most out of everything. You acknowledged and widely stretched your patience in every challenge you met along the journey. You were never satisfied but you were happy, secured, and positive. Why? Simple! Because you know you were still on the right track despite all dissatisfaction. You learned things from experienced professionals that you wouldn’t from a fellow rookie. You witnessed actual people genuinely expanding their patience in understanding the inherent differences in human race.

Two years have passed. You have met people you never knew you would. Some of those people have already left. Some remained but for a certain period only.

Even if you still don’t feel that your full potential has come out and put into good use, you’re still there… waking up and doing your job because, apparently, there’s no other way around… just yet. Sometimes your values are put at stake in situations you would have known how to react to had you not been the person that’s actually into the situation. Sometimes your character is compromised due to seen but unwanted events.

But in spite of all these, I’m 100% definitely sure that… THE BEST IS YET TO COME. :)

Happy 2nd Anniversary! <3

P.S. That’s “2nd (year) in 1st (job).”

It’s a free country, but: I need a license to drive, a license to work, a permit to protest, a permit to make changes to my own house, a license to get married, I can’t grow vegetables in my front yard, I can’t buy raw milk, I can’t fly without being searched and molested, I can be arrested for taking video of the police, I can go to jail for handing out fliers or for wearing a hat in court, I can have everything I own taken from me just on the accusation that I have drugs in my house, and I can be targeted for assassination if I disagree with the government. I don’t call this “freedom”. Am I missing something?
