5 Reasons Why I Love My Job

It has been a year since I joined my company, and I must say that it passed quite quickly! Sure, the days seem longer when I’m waiting for the next pay day (heh), but I always feel like September 2010 was just last month.

I wouldn’t go far in saying that I have the perfect job. On normal days, I’d just like to sleep in and skip work like any normal employee. (Don’t tell me you love to go to work every effin’ day. I’d call you weird. Ha.) But it’s not so bad. I do have an office job, and it gets quite repetitive at times. It also have its perks, though, and I believe I have a good job.

I know I don’t talk much about my work, because there’s not much to talk about. There are times when I don’t feel like doing it anymore! I just miss being a bum. Heh. But there are reasons why I’m still here after a year.

1. Flexible time

This is the best part really. I can go to work anytime I want. It’s easy enough to work around my schedule. Whenever I have to go anywhere, I just have to go to work early so I can leave early, too. I don’t even have to worry about being late. I have this wish that all my future jobs will have a flexible schedule, too.

Surviving Zambales: Capones Island

On our second day at Zambales, we went to Capones Island to see the lighthouse. We woke up at 5:30AM so we wouldn’t have to face such harsh sunlight when we go trekking. Even from afar, I already notice how pretty the island is. Though the boat ride only took us about 15 minutes from Pundakit, Capones is even more virgin than Anawangin (Surviving Zambales: Anawangin). There were no huts or any kind, except the lighthouse. Just an island with traces of bonfire from previous nights.

We were still witnessing a beautiful sunset when we reached the island. We discussed whether to go the long way to the lighthouse, or the short way. The short way entailed us to go swimming and no one wanted to go swimming so we opted to go the long way even if it was a lot more difficult.

Surviving Zambales: Anawangin

It has been two weeks since my Zambales trip, and I’m only blogging about it now. It’s really more because of my lousy internet connection (at home, at my office, at my dorm room) that I kept pushing this back. I was scared at first because my closest friends at work didn’t come. You know how I tend to be anti-social, right? But I still had a lot of fun and I think I wasn’t that awkward during the entire trip. My Zambales trip was really something I will never forget because of so many reasons:

  1. It was my first company outing;
  2. The trip was really a test of endurance and not a company outing;
  3. Zambales is just so beautiful.

We went to Pundakit on May 16. We didn’t stay there for long, though. The beach was really pretty. It was still early but the sun’s beating down on us already. After dropping off our luggage, we immediately rode the boat to Anawangin island. If Pundakit was beautiful, Anawangin was just breath-taking. I kind of wish I’m exaggerating. I have no photo to prove my point, though. There’s a river inside the island and even the scene there was gorgeous.

The Past Six Months

It’s weird how everyday at work, I write and write about things that aren’t remotely related to me; then when I sit down to finally write the things I really want, they seem harder to come out. I’ve been thinking about this entry since last week but I couldn’t force myself to write.

It’s been six months since I signed my first working contract. It’s been six months since I left unemployment and the millions of uncertainties. It’s been six months since I moved to Makati. It’s been six months since I started work. Besides my longer hair, I can’t seem to think of anything else that has completely or evidently changed. [Read more…]

My First Team Building

This is a super delayed post but I’ve been lazy. I also wouldn’t be bothered to be patient with my internet connection at my dorm. Anyway, my officemates and I went to Enchanted Kingdom last Saturday (Nov. 20) for a team building. Okay, it’s not the usual team building at all but it was fun! [Read more…]
