My First Sunday Blog in Davao City

7:31am
Hi! so it would be my first time to blog about my Sunday whereabouts here in Davao City. I woke up early so i could wash my uniform (kala ko never ko ng susuoting ulit, buti diko pa nadisposed and asked my brother to sent it thru LBC from Manila), my first time to wash my clothes here.. I'm so glad there's a laundry shop across the road of my boarding house so I could bring my other clothes there later on.

This week, I've done or felt something I wish I had blog about (kahit di naman importante).. so I'll sum it up below

*My previous Area Manager (nakakatuwa lang kinukumusta pa rin nya ako) sent me message thru Viber.

 *I got a call from Qatar... it was Lee.. and I think it lasted for 30minutes, minsan napuputol, choppy... and honestly, secret lang natin to... siguro mga 40% lang naintidihan ko sa kwento nya kase choppy sya.. but I just let him talk.. kase gusto nya talaga magkwento about his current situation in Qatar, at his work and blah blah.. sabi ko sige kwento ka lang, I know it feels good when someone listens to you kahit no comment lang ako.. kase nga diko masyado sya naiintidihan..  pero generally speaking, I got his point naman or why he was so eager to  tell me all of that.

*Walking alone Abreeza Mall. Nag grocery kase ako..tapos yung feeling na masaya na malungkot. Yes, I'm happy lonely here.. Kahit konti lang kaming staff dito sa new workplace ko, okay naman sila.. kaya lang walang prospect na magiging close friend ko na sasamahan ako magstroll tulad nila teh, marj at lee na kasama ko mga food trip... magvideoke.. mga ganon... pero masaya naman dito kahit malungkot. gets? at least pwede rin anytime umuwi ng bahay namin anytime i have to. I have highschool classmates here kaya lang iba na sila.. baka di na kami makarelate sa isat isa..

thats it!

7:58am
I'm hungry.. I'll try to cook... first time to use the electric stove. wish me luck!

9:15am
I succeed! done eating! alhamdulillah.

10:00am
Sent my laundry.. Went to G-Mall twice.. to NBS... To NCCC, to Uyanguren... nagshopping ako! haha...  Twice din akong kumain sa KFC... I want to eat somewhere else pero awkward pag mag-isa lang..

I'm missing my pamangkins so much.. watched my niece videos all over again..

Nyt!

21 ba today?

magkwekwento sana ako today as how I'm being happy lonely and tired but fulfilled today... yung mga ganon.

pero bukas na.

The 11 Days of Agony!

I couldn't find a better word to replace the term Agony... but being here in Manila is a bit torture for me.

Day1 (Nov 7)

--The driver who took me to airport this morning was caught overspeeding. First time to witness pangungutong.. pero okay na rin kase violation naman talaga yun... pag nakipagtalo pa sya.. maiiwan ako ng eroplano.
--The flight, I thank God for not much of turbulence.
--My humiliating cough, feeling ko kase pamahiin lang na wag uminom ng malalamig pag may ubo.
--My zombie look.. headed  straight to a meeting.
--Maam L. asked me if I would talk to maam J., why would I? may atraso ba ako? pano kung diko kausapin? bakit ko kakausapin? nakakainis naman.

6Nov16

I feel so uneasy!!! because I'll be travelling back to Manila tomorrow... It's work related and I don't wanna get back there anymore but I have to... Well, after a long process of deciding whether to take this job offer or not, now I'm finally taking it... It was my previous company who offered me this. So after the long stage of being "busy tambay", I'm back to work-- to be assigned here in Davao City --- Yes, that's why I accepted it, because it's almost home.

But what startled me is that they asked me in short notice that I need to go to Manila (hayst) for ten days! This is due to orientation ( since this project is different from my previous projects) and some sort of turn over from the previous cost engineer who is now assigned back to Manila... I told my new coordinator who happens to be my friend too that I don't wanna go back to manila, but later on I was convinced, I should be convinced! because it's part of  the job.

And why I hated being back there?? call me paranoid, but I don't want to see the confused faces  of my previous work mates why I 'm back?? haha..  After my previous Area Manager wont able to convinced me to stay a bit longer... After I told the President I wasn't happy anymore,, what if he'll see me there???  I need to practice my hiding skills when I get there.. haha..

Why I came back? It's not really part of the plan... i was even asked to submit an indefinite leave or to be assigned to Davao before my resignation, but I refused all of these.

Honestly, I don't wanna go back to work yet.. I'm still enjoying my niece and nephews company, ofcourse my whole family, ... I submitted an application to one or two government agencies at my hometown... but no one responded yet or maybe I wasn't able to answer their call... I have so many unanswered calls because I was busy looking after my niece.. I'm not really hoping anyway, I don't know anyone who could back me up... Some also suggested me to submit application there and there but I didn't... I guess I'm just really delinquent...

Until my friend called me to join DTM homes Davao... I told him I would think about it.. maybe it was one reason too why I didn't exert much effort in applying a job because I know I have this option... I even declined this due to some issues but I ended up accepting it.. well, I think I really to need to work again, I'm running out of savings, I need money for my travels... I must never rely on my parents... so that's why I'm back to work..

Wait, I haven't mentioned the idea of going abroad.. where I could get much money there.. it would surely be enough to afford me a European tour... I thought of next year but I think I'm too old for that... (yes, slap me for my buts)...  but the truth is, maybe I'm just envious of those who work abroad with same profession as mine... so I'm slapping my face now and tell myself.. "you don't have to be where anyone goes!!!"

And lastly... I'm not comfortable now because I'm gonna take the plane again.... I'm that someone who loves to travel but so afraid of flying. As per my readings ,the possibilities of accidents in the air is way much smaller than accidents on the road... The chances of getting hurt is bigger when you are on your way to the airport rather than being on the sky.... But still I couldn't get over of my fear..  so now, I'm telling myself to stop worrying, that I'll be okay... that when worst comes to worst, if it happens then it's meant to be... where ever we maybe... So if I tolerate myself with that morbid thoughts then I would be stock on the same ground, I couldn't get into my dreams.. SO HELP ME GOD.

(p.s  I must be terrified I made a  lengthy blog)

First of November

I'm supposed to be travelling to Davao City today for an employment there, but it was postponed due to requirements blah blah blah... As to when I should formally start my day 1 has been extended and extended... I was expected to start sometime in September but I'm still here...  I even declined the offer but I ended up accepting it..  I didn't want to... or at least not yet but I need to go back to work.. Honestly, I wasn't disappointed everytime  my return to DC is being cancelled, I'm secretly feeling happy I don't have to go back yet...

So whether this job could start a bit later or even totally declined by me or by them... then I'm fine with it....

I still can't get enough of my niece and my nephew.. especially when they are this adorable..

And ofcourse my bonding moments with my family (life is soo short!), food tripping with my mom, cook (minsan), watch movies and tv series, sleep all I want and just be homey..

Good night!
