YAAYYY. MAY SIGNAL!!!!:D
I'M STILL ALIVE! Thank God.
kickin. breathin. leapin. sweepin. LIVING!!! yeah baby:D
i know, i've been out of the circulation for quite a time now.
both literally and figuratively. i've been away, well for those who haven't heard... I was sent to a far, far AWAY land.
(for workssakes!!!)
well, it's not that technology doesn't exist in that part of the world, but it's just that i've been hectic.
HECTIC. H-E-C-T-I-C. HECTIC!!!! that i didn't even have the time to check my friendster account. ngek.
as if that would still matter. ha-ha. and i'm not exaggerating things.
as much as i'd want to give y'all a blow-by-blow on what's been up and about my "EXCITING" (catch the hint of sarcasm) life.
i do not have that much luxury of time. oh sweet time.
so, where should we start? hmmm. adventures? MISadventures?!? escapades?? (as if!)
i couldn't put my finger on just one topic but i can't quite share everything. nyahahahha. alam ko, naiinis na kayo!
what would you be dying to hear?!? alam ko na lovelife!!!
but do we really want to start there?!? hehe.
alam ko na, try to get the idea... i'll try to cramp much information on this entry. juicy?!?
let's hope it would be. haha.
i got to tacloban.
went with Pia,
my ex-blockmate-slash-workmate-slash-partner-in-crime-slash-counterpart.
met our managers at the caravan venue for the NGO we would be working for. (PLAN INT'L)
my eyes were wandering. checking out the place. spotting people. oopsie. i saw someone! but didn't really pay that much attention. hehe. wandering eyes. tsk tsk.
so, we talked to our managers and made the necessary arrangements. Pia and I went on our separate ways... to the west she had gone, and i headed onto the east. (hmmm.. east meets west?!? ngeee.)
i met my colleagues. bakit parang mas maraming boys?!?
(hmmm.... and what are you thinking?!? )
thank God, my man-o-phobia had gone out of my system... or else. i'm SO gonna be dead. tsk tsk. (it's as if i had a bunch of kuyas... instant pa!:D oopsie, the guy i spotted a while ago... he belongs to our program unit pala. yiiikes!)
in fairness, everyone's so nice to me. is it because i'm new and i'm the youngest?!? perhaps. hehe. i was warned by our manager to be extra careful though... (kasi ba nman, ka-share ko sa table ay mga boys... "miday, mag-ingat ka sa mga yan, harmful yan!"...oopsie, he was there seated just across me) hehe.. but everything's but a joke! all for fun, y'all.
things that i've heard were true. the people from this program unit are quite fun-loving.. good vibes y'all. good vibes. everyone's all friendly and accommodating... always checking on each other's backs, like a real family. a tight-knit one:D - awww.. sweetness:D
alam ko, sasabihin niyo ang kapal ko, pero i felt like everyone's eyes were on me. and i'm not exaggerating. i suddenly became the center of their attention. and i'm not used to getting tons of it. alam niyo yun, parang feeling ko prinsesa ako. parang ngayon lang sila nakakita ng maganda!!! (nakakarindi na nga e..hehe.)
thank God, i didn't let things get to my head. buti na lang talaga.
astig rin na yung first week ko of reporting at work, e parang bakasyon pa rin. we all went to the Camotes Islands in Cebu, and sort of had an exposure trip there.
happiness talaga!!!:D
of course we went to check out the communities and how they manage their projects, but the highlight of the whole trip (well, at least for me, the newbie) was the resort-hopping. yup! we went from one resort to another. and i'm telling you, the sights were astounding. too bad i didn't get photos as hard evidences. haaayy.. my bad. :(
it was a perfect avenue for me to get to know my colleagues. at least, kahit papano, bonding experience rin un, db? (although i didn't get the chance to talk to everyone... kailangan kasi nilang mag-effort to speak in tagalog just so i could understand them... haaay.. language barrier. TRULY! and oh! that guy i was talking about..he's making conversation. at least, diba?)
oh well, that week was over and everyone switched back to "work mode".. nyaaaay.
work mode sila, ako, paano?!? i'm still adjusting... how do things work here in PLAN INTERNATIONAL?!? well, i know i used to work in their makati office, but things are now far more complicated. doon sa makati, parang extra lang ako: isang intern na nag-aayos ng files. pero ito, seryoso na. i'm being observed. bawat galaw ay mala-denumero. oh no!
ang daming worries:
1. find a decent place which i could consider home (away from home that is, ngek) -i'm now sharing a room with an officemate:D decent naman, and fun ung roommie ko! love you, ate amy:D
2. learn to speak their native tongue. i have two dilemmas: learn to speak WARAY (the ppl in Samar speak this dialect) and CEBUANO (the ppl in our office use this language nman) - ngak. step 1: buy a dictionary. hehe. step 2: magpaturo, pero maghanap muna ng magtitiyagang mag-tutor. hehe.
3. know the inner workings of PLAN... spells out, expenditures. hehe. - yan, basically ang trabaho ko. think of ways to disburse the funds given us without sacrificing the quality of output that our covered areas deserve.
4. siguro marami pa... di lang ako aware. ngek! (Lord, help me deal with each and every one of it. I can do all things through Christ Who gives me strength!:D)
***you may be weirded out... but those things i wrote were mere memories of my first few weeks in an "unchartered territory"...i'm now in manila. home sweet home. ang galing noh? i didn't really expect i'd be here THAT soon. three weeks pa lang ako doon, nandito nako ulit. hehe. it was all because of God's grace. Thank God for that 3-day training that coincided with the long break. It feels good to be home. I love it, I love it, I LUUURVE IT!:D****
haaay. everything's so short-lived. make the most out of each precious moment.
