Newbies

Friday, March 28, 2008

If given the choice, I'd rather pass on the role of being the new kid on the block. It's almost similar to the feeling that I get during first day of classes. You're feeling excited, hopeful, anxious and nervous all at the same time. New people and environment can be good and exciting however the unfamiliar and unknown can also be quite stressful. Mahirap din ma-ngapa kasi. My new job is so much different from my previous job in so many ways. However, I think it's mostly different in a good way. If any, I think the only edge that my previous job has is its data infrastructure and how its systems are in place already, which are very crucial to my job function. I guess what's difficult lang is to get things going or started. It's always hard at the beginning but I just need some time to adjust and familiarize myself in my new environment. More importantly, I think I need to be more proactive this time around. We're out of our comfort zone right now as perfectly pointed out by an on and off again officemate slash friend but we'll get there eventually. Sanayan lang siguro.

Happy Easter

Sunday, March 23, 2008

I'll be officially part of the work force again starting tomorrow. By my standards though, I really think I could use another week's worth of R & R (hehe). I guess I do have to get back to reality - well eventually. Besides, I don't want to be the subject of my parents' nagging. So yeah...I think I'm all set and ready. I feel kinda nervous though because of the fear of the unknown and unfamiliar. I hope everything goes well. I'm feeling optimistic. Wish me luck.

Off topics:

- I attended my college friend's wedding this morning. It is probably the shortest wedding ever. It started 9 am and ended 12 pm. If you ask me, I'd also opt for the simple and no fuss wedding. I'd rather spend on my honeymoon. It's more logical and practical that way. I may enjoy weddings but attending weddings of friends and classmates make me feel old and nostalgic. I don't think it has really sunk in yet (feeling young pa kasi ako) that we've already reached that stage - yup that stage when it's now our turn to walk down the aisle of marital bliss or doom; whichever way you'd want to put it. I'd like to see myself more of an idealist though so I believe in marital bliss. The father-bride and mother-groom dance was very emotional and touching. Nakakaiyak. Kung ako rin yun, malamang iiyak din ako.

- What was supposed to be just an exhibition game (for charity) between Ateneo and La Salle turned out to be a good one. I was expecting the players to play halfheartedly but they didn't. It would've been better though if they pushed to OT. Nevertheless, I think we got our tickets' worth. Nothing beats cheering for school pride!

I have this silly stupid grin for the entire day.

Sheesh, I think I look like a crazy idiot now.

I can't help but smile whenever I think about it.

Unexpected is an understatement. Kainis! Hehe.

Maroon 5

Wednesday, March 05, 2008

I had the golden chance to watch Maroon 5 live and guess what...I passed!

Can you believe it?!? I freakin' passed!

Yep, I'm pretty sure I'm going to look back to this day with much regret and disappointment.

What was I thinking?!

I passed!

Decided

Note to self: I have to settle things first with the other party as amicably as possible. It is quite unsettling to be the one to deliver the bad news. I'm not exactly the best go to person at these break it to me gently kind of situations.

Anyhow...

After weeks of uncertainty, I have finally reached a decision. I have made my choice. I was hoping I made the right decision. However, a friend told me that there are really no right decisions and that there are always risks involved. Well come to think of it, he may be right. You can never be really sure no matter how much thought or preparation you've put or invested in.

So now I hope I'm making the better decision, the one with lesser risks.

I know I can't have it both ways. I can never have it both ways.

I wish I could though.

Burnt

Tuesday, March 04, 2008

Holy crap. I might have burned a bridge today.

I'm not so sure how things will play out in the next couple of days or so. I can only hope for the better. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything's going to be okay after all this hullabaloo.

I'm not good at this sort of thing. Well I thought I was. I should've just muted myself (parang remote control ba daw?). Hay I never learn. Tsk tsk tsk.

Sometimes I'm way too honest for my own good. Damn it.

Undecided

Monday, March 03, 2008

Oh crap. I'm stumped - again. While it's always good to have options, I must say it does make the decision making process a wee bit more complicated. I often wonder how I somehow always find myself stuck somewhere in the middle, which as we all know isn't necessarily the most favorable spot. Don't know which way to go now. I don't know what to do but I certainly don't want to burn bridges. I can't for the life of me make a sensible decision right now. Crappy crap!
