Where am i now that i am a year older? i just wonder.... *I have a job i enjoy. well not all the time, but most of the time that is. ----- blessed with bosses and co-workers that support me and believe in me. a work environment that encourages rather than hinders. ----- blessed with reaching my sales quotas for the past 2 months considering i'm just 4 months old in the work place. ----- won the hearts of a lot of my doctors and their secretaries ----- blessed with wheels, gas and so many others, thanks to lilly *I have lived my passion for gadgets; though declining the job offer for HardWare Magazine ----- bought a palm life drive ----- sold my old laptop to my dad ----- bought a new laptop which is the one i have yearned for ----- given another laptop by the office * I have been blessed to realize so many things until this moment i write... hopefully growing me not just in age but also in wisdom ----- Have faith and believe in miracles!!!!! this never became so so real to me until i got out of college and jumped into the workplace ----- there is a grand plan for all of us. The constant search for this enriches the soul in a progressive sense. ----- Find meaning in everything that you do. It really blows me off my seat to actually know that i saved a life. ----- Give sincerely and not just because coerced. ----- Accepting matters that are seemingly unacceptable and changing the paradigms that i am a human being and not a god who can know and understand all that happens. Then one moves on to a greater opportunity of appreciating being human. ----- love is a decision and not just a feeling. though it must start from an emotion. ----- it is not bad to fear, but remember that fear is the path to the darkside(starwars). face the fear else nothing will happen it can consume us totally. Fear is not a factor for you(fear factor) ----- Dont say anything you cant stand up to. Else you just wasted your saliva and destroyed your credibility. ----- Bad things happen but who are we to say they are actually bad? there must be a reason for being in that state. I thank all those who have been a part of my existence and who continue to believe in me through my 23 years of roaming around this earth. to all those who greeted me to remind me that another year has past and there is more to be done and achieved this year to come. Everyday each one of us experiences a miracle of actually waking up to a new tomorrow. Time to resume the journey called life. Current mood:  thanks.
Its really a joy to know that you've made someone else happy even just for a minute. To those whom i gave gifts, you know who you are... it was a pleasure seeing your reactions to what i gave you. hehhee Merry Christmas to all and a happy new year! Current mood:  cheerful.
In the things we dont know or dont understand, one is to leap unto the unknown and hopefully land on something. Yet that something still is the unknown. Ouch!!!! i think i landed on something hard :( nothing really new but things are just so different in the real world. But still even in such a predicament, the unknown can spark a lot of hope to try to face it and bring about change. Coz nothing will happen if I just sit here and sulk... I am happy after my 1st month of real work.... started training august 14. it ended september 22. then i started real work on the field september 25. A week after i came into the field, my district sales manager resigned. so i was directly reporting to the regional sales manager whom i happend to get along with well. We have a lot of things i common. It's hard to sell drugs but it is not impossible. God is there to help the doctors prescribe the 1st in its class and best in its class drugs. Those are the ones i carry of course! Some funny comments by some doctors: "Parang pinabili ka lang ng suka at naging medrep ka na." "You look like a baby" "Bakit lalaki ang linagay nila sa pang ObGYN?" Fun stuff: Car, gas, parking, internet, food etc what keeps me in my job.... aside from so many benefits that my company gives me is the faith in the absolute that i will do well in my job. A major factor too are the people around me especially my counterparts in the company in Makati Med: Rae, abby, nel, tonnette, peter Thanks for a wonderful 1st month at work. more to come...! hahhaa I attract everything that has happened to me and I will continue to attract all that will happen. The job I yearned for is something that would be challenging, engaging, sustainable and one that actually had a contribution to society. God has sent me one with all these. It is really challenging to study disciplines far from ones comfort zones yet it is clear to me that this job will help those with major illnesses that we cater to. I see people managing their diabetes, EDs, ADHDs, Schizophrenias, Bipolars, Cancer and osteoporosis conditions and living better lives because we give them access to the best quality medicines for these. Our brand may be one of the most expensive ones in the market but these are assured to bring answers that really matter to the patients. It makes me even more proud to stand alongside a company that heavily invests on research for the best cures and/or treatments for the various leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the world and also for the newly discovered malladies. i am just greatfull where i am now and will always be motivated to perform at my best or even surpass my best . hahhaa Nasasabik sa unang araw ng eskwela..... im actually back to school, a very different kind of school. Eli Lilly's med rep school... 1st day was field work. Mrs. Erlynn Cusi was my mentor and senior med rep for the day well until tom actually. So we walked out of Wynsum Building in Emerald Ave. then went to Jollibee.... coz she hasn't eaten breakfast. so i had my second breakfast.... and guess what... chico and del were there across the aisle... so i talked to them a bit of how great their morning show is. hahaha. so after that... we went to world citi in aurora blvd. there we were able to cover 11 doctors of various needs. mostly cardiologists and ob/gyns. She briefed me very well on we had lunch at around 3pm near the original max's resto. she let me go home actually at around 5 pm... but i stayed on. haahaha. after i went to Ateneo... to visit the choir and i also didnt want to go home yet. Luckily kuya called and wanted to have dinner .... so we went to Fridays and i had filet mignon. hahah yum yam... such a great day.... i think i am gonna like my work.... kaya ko yan even 95% ang kailangan kong grades para pumasa When i said i like you... i really did... except there are just invisible barriers always that prevent me from doing so. I am someone who isn't really afraid to lose friends. well i actually am but maybe i have lost so many already. Luckily one of those whom i have lost, i have found again... but what am i now then? After really bad fights we are in a situation of peace. I tell you it is hard fighting yourself within. How do you actually negotiate within yourself to forget about the cruel words that were exchanged? Maybe it's just a process of self growth and the other's. I guess so goes for the other misunderstandings i have had with other people. i just hope i continue to grow through them. and be open to the possibility of understanding. There is always hope... since i have made amends with my dad whom i couldnt understand before and i didnt accept as my dad actually, my brother who bullied me throughout my childhood, someone who tried to drown me in grade school and a lot others. There is just always hope in everything.... we have to believe!!!! Today, I finally went to Carriedo to get my NBI clearance coz there were no government offices yesterday. So I knew it was in carriedo.... but where there exactly? And how do you actually secure one? So to those who dont have one and will need one read along. Luckily security guards are always very helpful during the times I'm totally dumbstruck. hehhehee. So one can secure an NBI clearance in the green building after making a left from the 1st corner after the Carriedo LRT station. Then you start the climb to the 3rd floor and pay 20 pesos for entrance. Then you get a pink ticket. There is a booth beside the entrance where you secure the application form. After filling it up pay 115 pesos for the service. go up and place a lot of finger prints then have your picture taken. then go up again for screening and submit the form afterwards. In my case, it takes 3 days to process. shux muntik na di umabot for monday. I was very fortunate to talk to the security gurad at the exit who told me not to buy anything from the peddlers. So after the moderately long lines in that building... of course my tummy would growl. So i hunted for some breakfast. i saw the 1st jollibee but it was still closed. I saw the second one but.... i suddenly lost interest as i saw the street sign that said ongpin. What do you know i was actually in China town without me knowing it. So i just kept on walking. crossed a lot of unfamiliar roads. i went where my nose pointed. and i saw yummy food!!! Happy!:) I actually hate not being in the know but it is inevitable. There is too much to know and the human's capacity to know is so limited. Ergo, we can never fully know. But then why know? I guess it is for us to be a functioning individual in society who can start contributing inwards then gradually contribute to another then to the community then to society. But then one's contribution is useless unless it is complemented by efforts by others. This sounds simple but it actually is a problematic. Most of the time the knowledge is not shared, deprived or kept from the other. People choose to do so for a ton of reasons. Feelings about one another not shared resulting to more ill feelings about each other or a drift that most of us experience or have experienced with someone. Plans on how to approach something just shelved and forgotten. Potential dreams lost. The list can go on and on. This is because each one of us is just truly different. Our modes of communication varry and the other may not comprehend what the other is really trying to say. Some choose to engage in really long conversations and keep on talking forever until some how they get back to the point which can actually be said in just a sentence or two. Others see only the litteral reading of what the other is saying and bypass everything else or the actual intention of the other. It's just unfortunate. Yet not knowing or more trying to find out keeps us young as we explore knowledge with our adventurousness and shakes us from our comfort zones. There is much to hope for that something pleasant, rewarding or fulfilling will come out of it. If not so maybe it is trying to teach us something. Current mood: thinking aloud.
I need to finish my transcription of Ricky Abad's 2 and a half hr interview, but here is my imaginative and wild brain gushing some thoughts into me. now that i have chosen my career path. what is next. yes i have settled for who i am and also the most growth possible and the most realistic of the two choices. i have formally accepted and turned down the other. I have always thought about what to do when i am about to retire, that is why some of the interview questions of my prospective employers such as what do you plan to do in the next XXX years were not at all hard to answer when posed to me. So why did i choose this job...i partially answered this question in the previous entry but i will expound on it a bit more. Current mood: hmmmm.Current music: ricky abad's voice nooooo!!!!. |
