TURNING A YEAR OLDER

Tomorrow is a special day, it's the anniversary of the EDSA people power 1, quite historic but actually it is also my special day. I will be celebrating my birthday! Another year has added to my age (getting older) but it's okay as long as were aging gracefully!

I am thankful for the past years, quite blessed with friends and loved ones and hopefully will meet new friends. I just hope that I will be more bless this year and hopefully will be a fruitful year for me.

Tomorrow, I will be in Cebu, will be celebrating my birthday there, a vacation at the same time and I'm excited for this trip since it is my first time to celebrate my birthday on vacation.

SADNESS

Ilang araw na rin akong malungkot and I don't know why. Probably because my beau didn't text me for the past 3 days. Wala man lang hi from him. I wonder what happend to him, na mi-miss ko na tuloy siya.

Ilang araw na lang at birthday ko na, tuloy na tuloy na rin ako sa Cebu, I shouldn't be lonely, dapat i-enjoy ko lang ang week na ito. Matagal ko na ring pinlano ang birthday trip na ito. I just hope after this mawala na ang lungkot ko, hayyyy!...

RE-HIRE

Last night I received a call from my former colleague asking if I want to return on my previous BPO job. They are trying to reach all former employees of the project who resigned if they want to be part again of the project.

I was one of the pioneers of our project during my days at Accenture. I stayed there for two years until I finally gave up because I can no longer handle the toxic work, the too much pressure and the inquity project manager. The attrition rate is very high where in every month there are 3-5 employees who are resigning because of the same reason that I have. There were several TL's who handled the project but still after a month they also gave up.

I like Accenture as a company, working there is like studying in Oxford or Harvard University, the benefits are okay, but the only problem is that there is something wrong with our project.

According to my ex-colleague, they are trying to re-hire us because they have expanded and they needed our expertise as pioneer batch and they don't wanna train new trainees again where in after the training most of them quit. At least with us, they will only give us a refresher course and proceed with the production floor afterwards.

I know the offer is quite tempting, I will only consider returning to that project again if they can assure to me that the project manager is no longer there, but I think that will never happen. And goodluck for those who said yes.

LOVE IS IN THE AIR

I was supposed to celebrate valentine's day with my beau today at the hot air balloon fiesta, but unfortunately he didn't make it because of important matters, but it didn't stopped me from witnessing the event by myself. This is a yearly event in my home town pampanga but it is my firstime to attend this wonderful event.

I woke up early at around 3 am to prepare and I left house at 4 am. By 5 am I was at the event already. The place is already jumpacked with thousand of expectators local and foreign when I reached the place. The weather is good and perfect to fly a balloon. It seems that everyone is excited to witness the event as I can see that alot of people bringing their own DSLR. Some even brought tent and made the place a campsite.

I was a lilttle bit sad because this is supposed to be a valentine date, nevertheless, I made it appoint to enjoy the event even I'm alone. I took alot of photos and videos with me. i even met a lot of people who enjoyed the event also. Truly, this is a wonderful experience and it fascinated me how the sky was filled with ballons. But it would be more romantic if I'm with my beau enjoying the event.

THE LOVE MONTH

February na, ibig sabihin buwan na ng mga puso. Buti nalang hindi zero ang love life ko ngayon, this month there are a lot of things to celebrate. Una na diyan siyempre ang valentine's day. I am thinking on how we are going to celebrate this day aside from eating or watching movies. I want to celebrate it with my beau in a not so typical way, para at least maiba naman.

Pangalawa, second monthsary din namin, balak ko nalang din i-celebrate ito together with valentine's day para at least tipid naman ng konti total magkalapit din naman iyon. And lastly I will be celabrating my birthday on the 25th. This time I will be celebrating it in Cebu para maiba din naman on my usual birthday celebrations.

Sana magaing masaya ang month na ito para sa akin kasi this is "my month".

Happy Valentine's Day to all!
