I Just Got Promoted!

Last Wednesday, I just got the news from my manager that I will be promoted this March. It's the greatest news ever! My colleague and I were just talking about it last Tuesday and I never thought this would actually come.

I went home all smiles and almost texted everyone on my contacts about the good news. It felt great, knowing that I never even imagined myself working in this type of work and environment. It's overwhelming. God really knows where I should be, where I'm good at. And this great news made me realize why I am here.

If you have been an avid follower of my previous blogs, you'll notice how much I always ask myself the reason why I am here. During my first few months, I kind of dislike everything about it, until just late last year when I totally get everything and I started to get closer to my teammates. That's when I became more excited on going to work, and felt that going to work is not work at all.

I remembered what I wrote on my tumblr site. It was something like I feel kind of sad when it Sundays because there's gonna be work the next day. But once I started working, I feel good about it which is a good sign. And IT is a good sign. I really really feel good and this promotion just made me realize how I am valued in this company and this project.

Since last Wednesday, I started to think about it all the time and ask myself if it's really happening or everything was just a dream. Because I always have the greatest dreams that I really wanted to happen, only to wake up disappointed because it still remains as a dream. And I woke up Thursday morning, looked at my planner, and still saw that big PROMOTED text I wrote on my Feb 24th entry. Everything's getting into place.

It was worth it being here. I was employed here last July 2008, totally clueless on what I'm doing. Almost gave up because I really don't know the reason why I was here. And now less than two years, I got promoted. Ang sarap pala nung feeling. At di ko ineexpect na mararamdaman ko siya early this year. Ang saya. Sobra.

I really have no clue. I still remember how I looked when I said:

"Wow, thank you po!"

Almost teary eyed when my manager told me I got promoted and shook my hands while congratulating me.

I'm just happy... :) Soooo happy.

Working Out?

While my OB was about to inject me with Cervarix vaccine, I was surprised by her question:

"Are you working out? Because your arm muscles are so defined."

I smiled and just said, "Ay, hindi, blessed lang po ako siguro. Hehe."

It was a great compliment to hear. And speaking of working out, I am so suprised how Nayj is so dedicated with going to the gym. He has been in the gym almost everyday after work, kasama si Daryl. Mukang masyado na nagiging close yung dalawa. Haha. Siguro pagdating ng Palawan trip namin, macho na yung dalawa.

Ang dahilan niya naman: "Eh may bayad naman kasi yung gym, kaya di ako tinatamad. Pag nagjo-jogging ako ang bilis ko mapagod e."

Tama nga naman. Talagang susulitin mo yung gym dahil nagbabayad ka.

I also thought about it. Since I'm not getting any younger, I need to also work out para naman ma-maintain ko yung figure ko. (Naks!) Pero hindi nga, totoo yun. Syempre maganda din yung healthy living diba? Nung sinabi ko kay Nayj yun, eto naman ang sabi niya:

"Parang nakakaawa ka naman mag-gym, ang payat mo kasi e."

At naalala ko din yung sinabi ni Ate Kate nung sinabi kong gusto ko mag-gym:

"Neng, anu pang igi-gym mo?"

Syempre hindi naman forever na magiging slim ako. Thanks for the genetics but my mother was even slimmer than I am before. So may chance din naman akong tumaba, kaya kailangan ko mag-maintain. Hindi na nga ako kasing-payat noon, na sobrang payat. Ngayon tamang weight na lang ako. At ayoko nung may bilbil sa tiyan pag umuupo. I want it tight just like those girls with abs I see on TV. Hah, how I wish :)

Dadating din ako diyan. Mahirap kasi ngayon paiba-iba schedule ko e. Gusto ko sana sumabay kina Daryl at Nayj, tamang tama yung oras na after office. Yun nga lang, shifting pa ako. Maybe next year? :)

Goin' Home

I'm going home today. :)

Supposedly, tomorrow pa. But since my schedule has changed back to 12.30-10PM, I still have time to catch the last bus until 11PM at Pasay. I even texted my father if it's okay na umuwi ngayon since I have to wake him up at 12AM just for him to pick me up sa gate ng village.

I will sleep on my comfortable room tonight :) Or rather, tomorrow morning. Haha.

Nayj and the boys will be having an overnight ni Laguna. Gusto ko nga sumama e, kaso I have an appointment tomorrow at 10AM to have my third cervical cancer immunity turok. Pati naisip ko, puro Tekken lang naman ggawin nila.. Ako? Kru-kru.

I have a plan na sunduin si Nayj tomorrow afternoon kina DJ, if ever andun pa sila. Then saka kami magde-date. :)

Monthsary namin today. Narealize namin mga 10AM na in the morning. That's how we are :) More on anniversaries than monthsaries. Diba? Hehe.

May bago na kong favorite chicken. Chowking's roasted ones. At narealize kong masarap pala yung sauce niya :) It was my lunch today. Yumm!! Plus, I love 7-Eleven's GULP. Ang dami, mura pa!

I'm a curly haired girl today. I love it. Ang init sa labas! :(

I've dared to pull this look before. But I don't have the guts yet to wear this short shorts. But summer is just around the corner. Who knows? :)
