promoted!

last december, sinabi ko sa manager ko yung concern ko about sa pagkainip ko sa promotion. sabi ko sa kanya, nageenjoy ako at gusto ko pang magstay, pero parang hindi ko nararamdaman na nacocompensate ako properly. and so sabi ko, i’m seriously considering outside oppotunities. in fact, nung time na ‘yun, just a week ago, nakatanggap ako ng offer (na hindi ko nagustuhan). ang sabi ko, kung meron akong makikitang mas magandang oppotunity, aalis na ako.

ang sabi nya, magset daw ako ng deadline. para daw kasing ang vague nung plano ko. naghihintay lang ako kung ano yung mauuna – yung promotion o yung mas magandang trabaho.

so secretly nagset ako – march 1, 2011.

ang guess what, last thursday, kinausap nya ulit ako – promoted na daw ako. so sinabi ko sa kanya yung deadline ko. sabi nya, that’s a clear message from God that i should stay.

minsan daw kasi, dahil sa pagmamadali natin, hindi natin nakikita nang maayos ang mga bagay. na minsan yung opportunity, nandyan lang, hindi mo pa makita.

shallow

our senior executive, who has been in the company for almost 18 years, quipped that the only reason she stayed in the company was only because she didn’t want her resume to reflect that she can’t hold a job. she came from a 9 month job as a parole officer and she swore that a few months after she joined our company, she had wanted to leave immediately. eventually, she like the job, the people and the perks and before she knew it – 18 years had passed.
as for me, i’m here because of a weird reason – right after college, i wanted to stay as far away from IT as possible. then, this job came. on july, it’ll be my 3rd year anniversary.

rundown

‘di pala ako nakagawa ng entry for jan..so rundown lang ‘to ng mga nangyari sa akin:

• ipopromote daw ako (sana talaga!) kaya ginawa akong subteam lead ng team namin.
• nakasabay ko sa mrt si crush # 2 – our closest encounter ever. pumunta ako dun sa usual spot ko. it turned out, dun din pala sya nag-aabang ng mrt (take note, sya yung lumapit sa akin..hihihi). feeling ko, body shop yung pabango nya.
• tumataba na talaga ako, kita na sa mga pics yung double chin ko.
• naisakatuparan ko na rin sa wakas yung new year’s resolution ko – ang maggym
