from slave to teacher to THE job
October 27, 2007i'm officially a professional again, as in punch-in-for-eight-hours professional. yeah. im totally excited. i went to the office this morning and talked to one of the admins. pretty cool convo we had. remember all those powerpoint presentations ive been slaving for the past weeks? well yeah, ive reaped the rewards. im gonna be full time trainer and i would be handling tons of work...lectures on customer service and communications….id be putting together modules and manuals…will be doing team building activities/workshops…
so again, im-doing-cartwheels-in-my-head excited!
this is the job, THE job!
im starting to think, ive slaved for 2 years wasting my life in a callcenter that is managed by orcs…i cried and screamed countless hours from sheer frustration and stress…so i guess the wheel has turned…it's MY turn!
then again, that callcenter job as infused me with endless knowledge on customer service and technical stuff. so yeah, it has its good side. and i can finally use it to My benefit. yey!
~.~*********************************************~.~
but if there's a job il miss, it would be teaching. three months of teaching English to cute and adorable korean kids has helped to heal my damaged spirit after i resigned from my slave job. ive considered doing it full time but still, i know that i would be more happy doing geeky stuff. the kids always come back here fro their yearly camp tutorials anyway (July-September for Summer Camp and November to January for Winter Camp) so i can visit them anytime.
here are my two most favorite students. i know its a bad for a teacher to have a favorite but…i can't help it!
Martin is so adorable. he always makes me laugh…make that, he makes me laugh eveyrday!
Michael is a very smart kid. his class with me is 1pm, right after lunchtime where they usually play soccer or basketball after eating. while the other kids smell funky with all the sweat and sun, Michaels comes to my class bagong ligo everyday just for me! and he does some Jumong moves for me whenever im in a funk and i love him for that.
these two kids cried their eyes out during the farewell party. they clung to me like im their mother. i miss them so much. i hope they come back this november for winter camp so i can see them again cuz if not, i have to wait till next summer camp on July…
~.~************************************************~.~
also, since i have a new found life, im thinking of celebrating it by having a haircut. my hair's really long right now, almost touching my waist and its not even super straight like that so its really long…well im still thinking about it, although my bro is trying his best to convince me to go for it while my Be would be pissed if he found out about my plan cuz he really wants it long…
well whatev, its my hair, il do anything i want with it.
~.~***************************************************~.~
pahabol: remember when i blogged about getting my own domain? all the names on the list has been taken (its entirely my fault because being the girl that i am, it took me ages to decide). but idid have one registered already >>> tokwatbaboy.com! hahahahaha! just shows how i love food. nalet said that im the Tokwa and my Be is the Baboy…harharhar…its gonna be a sort of foodie journal as well…but given that im gonna be super busy, as in exag busy with work starting next month, it would take months again before its gonna be up and running…but anyway, one PLAN done, more and many more to go!
~.~******************************************************~.~
just about 20 mins ago, i was ready to turn our house upside down…i was pulling my hair out…..ready to cry…because i can't find very pertinent information that i needed to make me official at my new job - my SSS, TIN and PhilHealth Numbers! yeah, im lame like that. i knew that i saw those I.D.'s lying around the house a few weeks ago but since i made a total clean-up of our flat when my dad arrived, i can't find them anymore!
note to self: put important stuff together somewhere safe!
well yeah, i was hyperventilationg and after calming myself, i found them one by one…
first was my PhilHealth card that was stuck in one of my wallets.
second, my SSS form that contained my SSS number found also stuck in my other wallet.
lastly, i found my BIR form from last year lying amongst a pile of papers under the coffee table that bears my TIN.
*insert BIG sight of relief here.*
so after panicking and running around the house like crazy, i finally secured them all.
i was so happy i could have cried.
message to everyone else reading this: don't be like me. just the sheer thought of losing such information will drive you nuts.
ciao!
