long week

i started my training in stellar last monday. i had a long week. i didn't know that traffic was that horrible going to cubao. this is the first time i am going to work there. kaya ayun, tiis lang. instead of taking one straight trip going to araneta center, i had to cut my trip to two short ones so i won't get late. for some odd reason, there are no fx available in the morning so i had to ride a jeepney instead. traffic is always horrible going home. haay. grabe. everyday, i see a different route going home because the fx driver looks for a way to ignore traffic, however, kahit saan ka sumuot may traffic pa rin. tsktsktsk...

the training was fun. may epal nga lang akong classmate. i think he is in his late 40's or early 50's. and i believe may superiority complex sya. i guess i don't have to elaborate further. yun na.

to be honest, mas nag-enjoy ako sa training nung nabawasan kami. the rest were endorsed for interview. if they pass, they move on to the next phase of the training which is product specific training. the list of those to be accelerated were announced last thursday. initially, i was part of the list. ako pa nga ang unang tinawag eh at sobrang nagulat ako. i don't have questions about my capabilities when it comes to my communication skills. however, i still have not met the required 60 words per minute requirement for typing speed to be shortlisted for the interview. so, i spoke with my trainer and told him about it. he told me that he forgot about my typing speed. kaya ayun balik soft skills training ako. :)

wala namang problema sa akin kse d n'yo naitatanong may pagka-O.C. ako. konti lang naman. there are certain things na hindi pwedeng pwede na para sa akin. just like this training. ayoko namang mapag-iwanan ako ng mga kasama ko. meaning, everyone was hitting the required typing speed tapos ako hindi at kulelat. ayoko naman ng ganun. i just felt that if i would be going to war i have to be prepared and not just prepared, but equally prepared just like the enemies i would be facing. e ganun din naman, if you don't pass the interview you will go back to soft skills training. so i'd rather stay to enhance my skills more so i would be well prepared for the interview. since i want this job, i will make sure that after training i am equipped with all the necessary skills that i will need to pass the interview. at gagawin ko lahat ng paraan para ma-achieve ko yung goal na yun. ang arte ko noh?! hehehe...

btw, yoshie passed the interview last friday. congrats dear!

last thursday, kamuntik nang mag-weekend mode ang katawan ko. kse naman d ako sanay pumasok ng 5 days. i had the 12 by 3 sked for 4 months so medyo nanibago ako. sa totoo lang, kahit mas malapit ang cubao sa lugar namin, mas matagal pang bumiyahe papunta dun kumpara sa makati. the only difference is, it is not difficult to get a ride going home unlike in makati and ortigas.

my week did not end last friday. i had to go to the medical city for an ultrasound schedule. yup, it's the routine check-up that i have to do every 6 months. ang gastos nga e. nalagasan na naman ako ng 1,680. wala pa akong trabaho nyan. grabeh. buti na lang may credit card. hehehe...

sorry for the long post. kagaya nga ng kwento ko, i had a long week with matching long days kaya ngayon lang nakapag-post. i hope i will move on to the next phase of this training. i hope i will pass the interview. if not, i know there is a better plan for me. God speed. :)
