Ylan’s Adaptation

I just greeted my college batchmates in an online site where we put up a group so that despite our hectic lives we still get to keep in touch, at least for some. I browsed through their current locations and current jobs. I noticed most of them are in the Networking & Telecomm Jobs especially those who are working abroad. So true that only one of us has gotten into the aviation field. The chosen one? Well as he has told me, it’s the closest thing he can become from his real dream job. Job he ever wanted all his life. Probably not too late? Who knows.

Kodus to my classmates! I hope someday we could finally have a reunion or gettogether, for real!

I know we just celebrated Christmas and we are just about to celebrate the new year but it’s never too early to think of the special days next year right?

So why not plan ahead your gifts for Valentine’s day next year? Here are some valentines for her gift ideas you can choose from. It’s good not to rush in buying gifts so why not start scouting now.

Oh yeah, it’s gonna be valentine’s day soon! I need to find a date. Anyone? Lol!

It’s 5 days before Christmas and my friends and I will have a get together on Christmas eve. I still don’t have a gift for the exchanging gifts. Geezz i couldn’t decide what to buy!

It’s going to be a busy weekend since i’ll have to do a lot of cleaning because i’m hosting the party. Sorry to the guests as i don’t have chairs yet. Lol! They may have to squat or stand then.

I miss home. By this time i’m already busy packing candies for the nephews and nieces and carolers. But this and more are part of the changes i should embrace…

I’m so lazy! Up until now i haven’t submitted the apartment checklist upon move-in to the leasing office. It says in the form that i should return it within 7 days. I’ve been staying in the apartment for a month and a half already yet i haven’t submitted it! Geez i think i even lost the form. There are little things i want to complain but too lazy to write them down. I’m wondering if they could change the switchplates all over the unit because they look too old and i hear flicker sound sometimes. It’s probably just paranoia but its better safe than sorry. Hopefully i don’t get to work this weekend so that i could finally spend some time on the form and submit it. They might just charge me for something i’m not liable to!

Now i’m reminded i should go to the leasing office tomorrow to get the package i ordered online.

I’ve read online about celebrities getting their recreational vehicles or personal busses so i’ve seen pictures and how amazing they look or sometimes in movies. It’s only this year when i saw one with my own naked eyes. It was a huge one! It’s even bigger than passenger busses going to North or South of Cebu. It’s owned by one of the owners of the company i’m working for. I just don’t know if it’s still at its peak condition as it just stays at the warehouse. If they ever make use of the building space then they may need some rv towing to transfer it. I’m so curious to take a peek inside the vehicle but i’m afraid someone will catch me! Hehe! But really when the owner is around, i’ll ask permission so i could get inside the huge recreational bus and finally i can say i’ve been inside an RV! Lol!

I just talk online with one of my friends/officemates(former) and she mentioned about the parties they’re having in the next coming days. Oh now i miss the parties in Cebu. Normally we’d have three Christmas parties in December. At my current company, we’ll only have one company party but i’m not complaining. We’ll have a team gettogether next Saturday anyway.

Just that – ‘tis going to be my first Christmas away from home….

I’m staring blankly at the kitchen because i’m thinking that i’m back to work tomorrow and there’s so much to do. I noticed that the refrigerator looks empty without any decor on it. At least i have the orchid plant on top of it, LOL! How i wish i brought with me my ref magnets, collections from my trips. I think i also have some personalized lapel pins from all those local trips i did. Unfortunately i brought nothing. When can i go home? I surely would bring them with me this time.

Speaking of work, i got a deadline on Friday, whew pressure!!! Friday? It’s December 02 right? Geezzz how time flies!

I just got home – went to my friend’s apartment nearby to help her fix her internet connection problem but to no avail. I guess she has to call the tech support by tomorrow. I just walked so i’m feeling very cold right now and i’m starting to have colds. This fishnet top looks sexy but there’s no way you can wear one this time of the year well unless you’re inside a very cozy room or place. Crazy me because i bought stockings last time instead of leg warmers. Duh! I’m so not ready for the cold weather!

Last Wednesday, i attended a pre departure orientation seminar. It’s required by the government for all Filipinos who will be working out of the country. It’s a whole day seminar from 8:30am to 5:00pm. Tiring or even boring as it may sound but i believe it’s very informative especially for first time travellers.

There were speakers from different agencies of the government giving short speeches of what their agencies are for and the different programs they can offer. Sure there are about two cheap term life insurance that Filipinos employed abroad can avail. Of course there are fees involved and are renewable. I just forgot the terms. As for myself, i’m not so sure if i’d benefit from it largely. But we’ll see.

I’m happy i’m done and over with the seminar. Now i just have one more requirement left to be finished before i can go and officially be called an (OFW) Overseas Filipino Worker.

For our office supplies at work, we can just logon online to our intranet site. It’s just like shopping online for your needs: note books, post its, ball pens, pencils, among others. How soon you can get what you “ordered” just depends on how soon your immediate supervisor or manager can approve it. Once approved, you just have to go to the purchasing personnel and voila you’ll have the stuff you wanted.

One time, a colleague of mine ran out of batteries for her favorite toy. She said it would have been really cool if she could just request for psp batteries on our site too. Dream on! Me? Oh i’m just extremely happy if they have anything pink: more often than not, i can just have the pink notebook and the pink post it.
