Hello again, Project Officer!

May 9, 2011… my return.

A few weeks before that, I realized what I really want. Someone close to me already told me that where I am before is where I really belong but sadly, I didn’t listen and here I am now, proving that he is right and should have listen to him. It’s the Project Management path. In my last last blog, I bid goodbye to Emerson because programming is not really for me.

Back in college, I already dreamed of becoming a Project Manager and it is because of Computer Business Association. I love handling projects, facing the challenges that can be brought up and making it successful despite of hindrances. Thank you i4 Asia for accepting me again and helping me fulfill my dream.

Standing Proud as a Project Officer of i4 Asia.

i4 Asia’s 2011 Outing

Luckily, I was invited to attend this annual summer outing of i4 Asia. My first day is May 9 but this outing was May 6 to 7. Yippee!   A week or two weeks before that, I wished they’ll invite me. hahaha. and Wednesday before the outing, Sir Drew texted me. I was happy, of course!

It was in Punto Miguel, Lian, Batangas.

Actually, what we saw in the internet is not what we expected. We’re a little bit disappointed but we just enjoyed our stay. Good thing the admin and the people there are friendly and very accommodating. They are approachable and you need not to look for them. They are just walking around making sure their guests are okay.

They do not have a restaurant or canteen. We arrived there at almost 1pm I think. And we ate our lunch at Kabayan Beach Resort but one of the Punto Miguel people assist us going there.

The beach is kinda clean but very salty and not that clear. We can’t take pictures under water..hahaha

They also played volleyball while me and my bestfriend, Kuya Marvin, walked around and ate halohalo at Kabayan.

We brought food. We just cooked food for that night. Actually not me. Some of us. hahaha. Then, after dinner, its drinking session! But Kuya Marvin and I do not drink so we walked and stayed near the beach.

The place is also safe. We lost our keys, so me, Ate Angela  and Ate My slept with the door not locked because the others are still outside yet nothing bad happened to us.

The next day, I woke up early. Kuya Marvin and I walked in the beach sand then we had our morning coffee at Kabayan. Then, Jed came. When we return to the cabana, its girls turn to cook and so we did. We had our breakfast. Then we prepare and freshen up. Its time to come back to Manila. But before that, group picture first!

It was a fun outing. Until next year!

See you around, Emerson.

Year 2009, I had my On-the-Job Training in Emerson Network Power with Lique and Kate. We were amazed and dreamed of working there although we know its not that easy to apply and the qualifications are not for fresh graduate. The people there are okay both in working environment and even in personal matters. What I mean is you can meet and gain friends there. We learned a lot and had a good time! August or September 2010, I received a call from Emerson but that time, I was busy with my work and they told me they’ll just call again but there’s no return call. Then, November 2010, I received a call again and they asked me for an interview. I got excited because it was Emerson. And to cut the story short, I was hired. January 2011, I started working there as an Associate Web Developer. It was okay but I was having a hard time because it is in development and for the past one  year, I’m not coding. So, there comes self study but though I wanted to learn, there’s no urge and I do become lazy everytime I will try to. April 2011… I realized what path I really like and I informed Sir Dom, my Supervisor, about it. I had a good time there, gained new knowledge and friends. It was a memorable experience. At least I figured out and realized what career path I really like. THANK YOU Emerson people, especially my ASCO family, for the knowledge, memories and friendship. See you around.

Life is Mysterious

Sometimes, even when we try to sleep, we can’t and there are lot of things running in our mind and we don’t know which to think first. Right now, I am thinking of Life. Our life is very mysterious. We don’t know what’s bound to happen. One day, we will wake up very happy. One day, not in the mood. Even just to rise up from the bed, we’re very lazy. But we have to face life. We are given a chance to wake up everyday, may it be morning, afternoon or night. What’s important is we wake up. We face life. We maybe in fear but what’s important is we face it. Remember that even if we run away from it, it will just follow. So why not face it instead of running. We  have to be brave and have the courage to face life each day…each day which is full of mysterious thing. But sometimes, even if we want to face it, we just can’t. We don’t know what to do. And that’s the hardest part. Knowing you can face it yet you don’t know what to do. Well, that is life. Its not as easy as what we think it is. Time will come it will be easy, but there are also hardships…challenges.
