stop-over

Posted by cltempla at 10:14 PM on May 20, 2008.

Effective 9pm tonight, Im already resigned. Bum na ako-- and it's official. So ironic kasi I really don't feel any regrets na I resigned from my job and in fact, I am very happy.

For me, I know that resigning is the only way that could make me look back at the days I was with Seattle's Best Coffee with a smile. Prolonging my stay wouldn't do me any good. My performance would just suffer if I have to continue just because I have nowhere to go like I didn't resign because a better job is waiting for me. And eventually, all of the people will hate me because of my poor performance and I don't want that to happen.

I resigned because I know I should if I have to keep the good memories of working in SBC and at the same time, for those people I worked with to remember me at my best.

So what's next after Seattle's Best?

I don't have concrete plans yet but currently I am looking for part-time work here in Manila for my immediate financial needs. At the same time, I have orientations and interview schedules for works abroad. I applied for jobs in hospitality industry in several countries abroad through agencies and hopefully I get accepted.

I hope things will go well. Wish me luck guys! :D

--------------

some lessons learned in SBC:

1. speak up. a problem can't be solved if you won't let the people concerned know. they aren't psychics! but just be sure to say things constructively.

more to come.. tinatamad na ako.

10 Weird things about me (from my multiply site)

Posted by cltempla at 04:54 PM on May 26, 2008.

Rules: The person who gets tagged needs to write a blog of his own, write 10 weird things about himself and must state the rule clearly. In the end, he needs to choose 10 people to be tagged and list their names. He shouldn't forget to leave a comment in his chosen "10 people"'s guestbook that says "you are tagged" and tell them to read your blog.

This is hard.. yet fun.. haha.

1. I love to watch people from afar, pretend that I don't exist and have the surroundings in mute mode except my subject/s. I choose people to observe at random then I would study their gestures when they speak, their actions and reactions and etc..

2. I mimick the way people talk on TV-- mostly Americans and British. I practice the way they talk, how they pronounce words and their accent by reading aloud from a book or other materials.

3. I like vegetables especially bitter gourds and all those anti-oxidant veggies because they're healthier than meat . It's not like I'm into some kind of diet but it's just that I don't like being carnivore that much... but NO STRING BEANS and SQUASHES/PUMPKINS please...

4. I feel pity to every harmless animals whose lives had to cease to serve their purpose-- the very reason why they were born, that is, to be eaten as food. That made me wonder if the chickens, cows, water buffalos, pigs and other domesticated animals know that they are raised, fed and taken good care of because they have to be fit for human consumption?

5. I should have been a batch earlier than my current batch in school. My student number should have been 2002-xxxxx in UP if only I didn't have to repeat Kinder 2. I took an entrance exam for Grade 1 in Cagayan de Oro where we transferred from Alabel, South Cotabato where I used to study but then I flunked because I didn't have any idea what to write in the Math part of the exam. All I see were pictures of Philippine currency in different denominations and I was too shy to ask the nun who administered the exam... and there was also this question in English where there was a picture of a trumpet (I didn't know it was called a trumpet in English that time) and we were to provide the missing letters to complete the english name of the object.
It looked like this... 10. T_ _ _ _ _ T --->> T oroto T? (haha!)

6. When we were just new in Cagayan de Oro and kids from our neighborhood would ask my name, I tell them it's Ana Luna. It took almost a month before they knew my real name. My parents would even call me Ana Luna too because I insisted that they call me by that name.

7. I don't know if this is weird but I learned to read when I was 3 years old and learned to write in cursive at 5. I also know how to write legibly upside-down.. my friend used to write that way so I diligently and patiently studied how to do it too.

8. I was clueless what "crush" meant until I was in 5th grade. I have always wondered why my girl friends often talked about boys and that they feel something special towards a certain boy in school. Most of them had crushes and due to peer pressure, I randomly picked a boy in class and forced myself to like him so as not to be considered as "abnormal" for not having a crush.. and it worked... For the first time I had a crush on someone but not at the boy I randomly picked. haha.

9. I have undergone 1 major surgery to remove a cyst in my throat and 3 minor eye surgeries due to a sty. All those 3 eye surgeries were at 2-year interval or so.. Grade 6, 2nd year high school and 1st year college... but after all those surgeries I had I am still afraid of injections and blood. Everytime I see injections, I can think of blood and each time I think of blood, i can think of death. So, injections = death.. and I'm scared of death.

10. I get dizzy when I see deep purple-colored objects. I don't know why but I just do. It's like those deep purple-colored objects send electronic impulses to my hypothalamus to make me feel nauseated. It's all psychological, of course, but I just can't help feeling that way.
