The month that was

The fourth month had been a busy month for me that I didn't find a time to post even a single entry. Now, all the the thoughts that I've had for the past month were all kept in my system's journal called mind..lol.

I started the fourth month making list of the 25 things I want to do in line with my tweenyfifth (lol) birthday and being busy with office work.

At work, I'm in-charge of the recruitment, I've been part of it since September 2012 and I would say that I have this love-hate relationship with it.  Love in the sense that you get to talk to a lot of people, knowing their stories of struggle and success; improving your own skills as the course of interviewing goes, and so on. Hate in the sense that at some point you have to eliminate those who wouldn't fit on the job description and when the applicant follows-up you don't know how to say how regretful you are for the not so good news you had to say to him or her. I've been an applicant not just once, but many times, especially with the career I wanted to pursue years back. I know how sad it would feel to be rejected after so much effort you exerted. At the same time, as a recruiter, as much as you do not want to reject, it's your job to do otherwise to shorten the number of applicants.

I  consider my present work a blessing no matter how tired it would be or that maybe. I became more mature now and became more open minded. I still have the hear for the career and the industry I wanted to pursue. Hopefully, the waiting game would be over soon and things would start to materialize. 

 

Tuesday

I was quite busy the past few days because I attended two interviews for two consecutive days. I already blogged the first one which was for Megaworld. I'd blog for the second one, which was for Metrobank.

I was with my friend and former officemate, Geli. We were supposed to meet by 8:15 am at Jollibee Insular, but I was late for 10-15 minutes. Prior to this, there was an unfortunate event happened at the underpass in front of BPI Head office. I created a scene before I finally reached Jollibee which was just across BPI. I was in a hurry and my heels, I could not put the right sentence, let me say na out of balance or nadulas because the stairs there were a little slippery although not wet. I thought people would just see me at the floor lying with wounds on my face, akala ko talaga gugulong na ako sa baba, luckily nakakapit ako. I acted like nothing happened, I walked as quickly as I could. I was wearing a skirt that time. I was really embarassed but accidents happen sometimes, it's just how you would carry yourself after the incident. I didn't want to look at my left knee, may konting gasgas din on my left leg.

I went inside Jollibee to meet my friend. I went to the comfort room to conceal the gasgas. My left knee was really hurting me, only to found out it was bruised! I didn't want to look at it, my friend said it looked like a moon, (oh! poor me!) imagine the green and violet colors on your skin! :|

So here's what happened at Metrobank:
We were asked to be there an hour before the scheduled time of interview. We were asked to fill out the form and after that we submitted the form together with our resume and transcript of records. We waited for our name to be called.

When it was my turn, my left knee was still hurting. I just ignored it. Unlike my airline applications, I never felt nervous with my interview yesterday, same with the one I had last Monday. I was really at ease and answered each questions honestly. The interview with Metrobank was like getting to know you better. I could clearly recall the last question (w/ a follow up of course): Are you into writing? Without any hesitation, I said "YES" with a smile on my face. Are you good in it? I don't want to brag about it but I said yes. Sure? I said YES again. I was part of our school paper when I was in highschool but I didn't try when I was in college because I thought it would affect my studies. The HR smiled and advised me to wait for 1-2 weeks. From there, I got an idea that the two positions I wanted were more on writing.

The interview was done before 11 am. At the back of my mind, I said, whatever the result would be, I would accept it wholeheartedly. I was taking chances, the outcome wouldn't hurt me so much. If it's for me, then it's up to God :)

Plan B

I'm Back! :)
I was out the whole day because I had an interview with Megaworld (at Gil Puyat Makati). I was there until 2 PM. I thought I was going to take a long exam but it turned out the other way around. I only had one exam (a short one and I could conclude it's a personality test). I wasn't able to befriend anyone since the others were still waiting for their turn, some where taking the exam when I was asked to have lunch. I was a little sad because I'm not used to eating alone but it wasn't really a big problem, I'm still okay with that kind of setting, I feel the challenge when I'm all alone! :)

I had lunch at the nearby Jollibee! :) I was trying to surf the net but there was no airborne access at that area! Sad! I missed everyone!!!

After lunch, I went back to Megaworld. The HR already informed me that I'd be having 2 more sets of interview. I was puzzled why I didn't take the long exam anymore, maybe it depends on the position you're applying for. I was trying for the training assistant post, but the HR endorsed me for the accounts specialist position which, based from my understanding was the COLLECTIONS department (the work would be dealing a lot of math. Oh! I could remember my BPI days. I was able to encounter clients who were asking for the number of the Collections Department (credit card). Here's the embarassing part! A guy, I think he's one of the officers of the AMT department interviewed me. He just asked about my family, my previous job and why I decided to take up my course. I wasn't nervous! Maybe because I knew I was just taking chances, the result, positive or negative wouldn't hurt me anyway. At one part, he mentioned I should be good in Math, he asked me to do the math mentally! GOSH! The whole world knew I was never good at it! Especially when I had to compute mentally! I couldn't answer him, I forgot almost all my lessons in Algebra and all other math related subjects. The officer was kind enough, he said, he would be giving me another chance, he said I would present about a certain topic,after a while, Ms.D, gave me a post it with the topic in it: Power Dressing and Effective Communication. Presenting a topic was one thing I'm also interested, however, I was having doubts on pursuing the company. The job they offered me was one thing I don't want to take again, it was similar to my previous job because I would be handling complaints of clients. I knew it was customer service, but I am seeing another BPI #2 with the job they offered. I told Ms. D I would be checking on my schedule this week and I would be giving a call for my schedule, but I guess, not anymore.

Tomorrow, I would be out again for another interview, this time, with Metrobank.

JOB EXPO and A Trip Down Memory Lane

I was at DLSU yesterday with three other friends: Michi, Andre and Dave for the JOB EXPO. Michi just came home from her one year stay at Japan. Andre was already done with his 5 month-internship while Dave was on a search for his first job. Yesterday was not just looking for a job, it's more than that and the title could explain very well.

This would be a photo-loaded entry:
A view from La Salle Building. Still the same when I was there except for the condo beside Ivy Hills (the smallest building in this photo.)

Graduate Admissions Office.This used to be the Undergraduate Admissions office. I could remember the days I was still submitting my requirements (for transfer applicants. Yes, I was a transferee from St. Scholastica's College) . I took the entrance exam at the room upstairs they called ITEO.

With Dave  (oh! I look so pale! haha)

 

Yuchengco Building, on our eaf, this was known as the Y building. I could tag this as the most quiet building! haha. This was the irony of the Miguel Building (our building!). It would be understandable because the Miguel or M building was the "home" of the Liberal Arts Students. I used to have classes in this building. Most events were usually held here. Like the Annual Academic Recognition , at the "grandest" Teresa Yuchengco Auditorium to be exact; The Job Expo, held at the lobby. Exhibits were held at the lobby too. I could also remember attending an open forum at the auditorium where Loren Legarda and Nikki Coseteng were guests. The museum was located at the 2nd floor of this building.

The lobby was also one of the "tambayans" of the students. I used to hang out and kill time in this building!

The free nachos (plus the overflowing sauce)  Dave got after signing at the Nestle Booth. I didn't get mine because my stomach was still full then. 

A view from the Brother Connon hall. I took this photo while we're on our way to the Green&White office, where I'd be getting my Yearbook DVD. You could see the amphitheater where the University Break events were usually held.

Some reminders from the Discipline's Office or D.O. :   This was posted at Saint Joseph Hall going to the William Hall.

I was surprised to see this posted at a room (on Miguel Building) . It's a new addition.

I just want to know how it feels to be a student again by sitting inside the classroom where I used to have my classes. If my memory was right, I had four or more major subjects held in this room. And I used to sit in front then. Oh! I miss being a student!

M315. I miss this room so much! I think, I spent 1/4 of my DLSU days here. 

Freebies from Nestle! It's a good idea signing up for them! I love these:

Michi's gift! Thank you sis! My newest baby! :) 

 

My YEARBOOK CD! 

It's warm feeling to be in La Salle again. I would agree with Dave, when we're still students, we felt like going to school everyday was just ordinary, we haven't felt the great significance of La Salle in our lives, but after leaving school, getting a life on your own, and going back, you would feel that La Salle meant so much to you.

Sometimes, when we both reminisce, we'll both say, "There wasn't too much we missed" and through the tears we'll smile, when we recall, we had it all just for a moment. - St. Elmo's Fire

NOW

My friend, Bryan, inspired me to blog upon reading his Multiply entry:
There are plenty of thoughts clouding in my mind right now. Even if I just came from Baclaran Church this afternoon, I really can't help but think about the things that are happening to me right now and think about the future. 

It's been two months since I became a BUM. Honestly, I hate being one, though I have nothing against people who does not have work right now like me. This is my choice anyway. Maybe, I'm feeling like this because I am not used to just staying at home, stay in front of my laptop for several hours, watch afternoon shows or start a dvd marathon, etc. etc. I am doing nothing at home except for logging at Jobstreet and putting more time looking for a job that I will like while I am chasing for my dream career. Sometimes, I feel like I'm wasting my time doing nothing but stay at home. What will I do? I mean, our backpay's not with us yet, and it is TAKING SO MUCH TIME!!! I cannot go out that much except for Wednesdays as I already alloted a budget for the novena. I feel like it will be too much if I ask my mom for money so I can hang out anywhere I want to go. 

Sometimes, I can help but feel bad in a way. I may have graduated with honors (but I'm not bragging about this), but I will agree with my friend, Lars, it's just numbers. Today, it doesn't matter where you came from, it's where you're heading. My high school friends also agreed with this. Correct me if I'm wrong readers, it's just my and my friends' opinion. At one point, I have this "what if".,I took up Nursing, maybe I'm in Canada right now, with my aunt who is working in a hospital. I hate "what ifs" because it's a form of regretting. I am well aware that:  we cannot bring back the past, but we can always make our future better. Regrets have no use because we can never turn back the hands of time. 


I am reading PEX everytime I surf the net because it's one way of updating myself on what's going on with other flight attendant hopefuls. I share the same sentiment with everyone who went to the pre-screening is waiting for the golden email - the waiting and the longing we have to endure. I have read that IPAMS will be sending the much awaited email until Saturday. I just don't want to expect and I don't want to think of anything negative about it. I want to put focus on centering God and trusting Him with my career. I can remember my friends telling me, "we expect more from you, not to put pressure on you but, to see you grow more! we want you to grow more", I told Bryan about this, and he said, "just take every opportunity". I know I really have to hold on to that faith I have for so long now, I've been very optimistic during my La Sallian days and I don't want to get that away. I can never give up my optimism because it has sprung from my faith in God. 


My airline applications as of this time are all unsuccessful, quite obvious, because if I have been a successful applicant in the past, I have gone to places already, but it's not the case. I don't know if this is what God wants me to be, again, everything is all about FAITH, if we think we can make it, then we shall act and not just wait. God sees everything and I know, He will give what our heart desires on the right time, just like what Joshua Harris mentioned, The Right thing at the Wrong time is the Wrong thing.

2009: A Review

Forgive me, this might be a lengthy entry as this would be my review for the outgoing year.

On LOVE:
7 years, 2 months and 16 days of being single., and counting.,
I really could not imagine how I was able to do those foolish and crazy things out of love in the past; and whenever I remember those 'sablay' moments I wanted to go under the table and hide. I never imagined how was I able to do those kind of things and whenever I look back, I wished I didn't remember them anymore. I could say I was already a changed person when it comes to love.

I realized I should not hurry love, because the more I chase for it, the more it moves away.

I've said I've been in love many times with every guy I've liked, but when I started to look back and studied my feelings, I found out I've been in love thrice.

Never expect the one you love to love you back. I have been so hopeless and helpless for the past two years that I even went to churches to pray for that one person but nothing happened.He went to my treat and gave me a book, sent him a text message (that night thanking him for accepting my invite and for coming with us even if we're not close ). I also sent him a message after I finished reading the book he gave me (I could barely remember that time. I was on my way home from a 3 days 2 nights trip to Baguio and La Union), a couple of holiday greetings last year,a birthday greeting last January and another message on the first day of his medical school. I also had the chance to be with him for a short time last May, but I guess THAT'S IT, THAT'S JUST IT. I was unsure of the next time that I'd be seeing him
again. I was sure, He didn't need me anyway. I was introduced to two guys after we graduated, I thought I was going to forget him, but, nothing happened, "T" and "A" did not pursue me. I guess I was not really meant to either of them or God knew, from the moment they have been introduced to me that I could not get over "K". Sometimes I wished "K" was thinking of me or that I was able to cross his mind even for a minute or two. His school was not that far from where I was residing, yet I felt like he was too far from where I was or more likely, he was out of reach. Last Christmas, I sent a group message, I really wanted to greet him but I did not, because I wanted to save even a single slice of pride for myself because I felt like I engulfed my whole pride when I loved him. I hope, there would come a time that I'd be completely over him, how I wish that time would be NOW, and how I wish letting him go would be that easy. I didn't know what magic he had in his system that I could not let go. I guess God was telling me something, and this was to take each step little by little
until I get over him. I should not pressure myself to get over him as one day, there would come a time that I'd. I was quite sure I could do it myself this coming year, no other guy involved as I promised to put full focus and determination to reaching my dream job. Career should be my priority now and not finding the guy for me.

Nothing could never be given in an instant, especially when it comes to love. You could not say you love someone overnight that's why I never believed in love at first sight. That was my view. You could be captivated by someone at first sight, but it would take a while before you could be in love with the person. Most especially, letting go and moving forward could not be done in just blink of an eye, one had to go a long road, and that was the hardest road. I knew in all of the hurt and pain, God would always be with us, he would guide our feelings. Prayer would always be our best weapon as it could conquer all the odds we could bump into when we travel the road to moving forward.


ON CAREER:

I think I already said almost everything about my previous work as a phonebanking specialist - clients shouting at me, clients blaming me because I was the bank's frontliner, clients filing a complaint against me and so on; on the brighter side, I also experienced to assist clients with good heart that even if I was not able to help them completely, they still thanked me for what I've done.

I never enjoyed being a phonebanker because I knew what I wanted ever since, but I knew I still have to be thankful as having a job would always be a blessing whatever the nature. God gave me that kind of work because He knew I could handle it. I knew God wanted me to discover what the real world was and He was successful because I was able to explore a part of it.

I would leave all the sad and bad memories in the year 2009. Tonight, another year would come and it's about time for me to start anew. I'd never stop til I reached the top, and even if I was already on top, I would never stop learning and sharing all the blessings.


ON LIFE's LESSONS:

So much had happened this 2009. This year, I was able to proved that:

• Life was indeed a series of ups and downs.
• We could not please everybody.
• You should not be in a hurry, weigh things first.
• If you failed once, take it as a stepping stone not a stumbling block, remember that we learn from experience.
• Never be afraid to try the things you wanted to achieve.
• Know exactly what you want and work for it.
• Be thankful for all the blessings.
• Always pray, God never ceases to hear all our prayers and answer them in the right time.

At Random :)

1. I went to IPAMS this Morning to try again for Emirates Airlines. Mom and Dad dropped me off at IPAMS because they have to go to Marlow to check on the results of my father's medical.
I was at IPAMS for less than an hour. Same procedure as my first's, they checked my weight, height and my skin. I was asked to reach the 212 cm for the arm reach test. I was asked to introduce myself, and why I wanted to be a cabin crew. After a few minutes, Sir Noel called me to ask when was the last time I went there and what happened to my previous application. He also asked if I was able to talk to Ms. Rocel, I said I tried calling her but I was not able to talk to her because she was attending to other applicants (not for fa post). I was asked again to wait at the recruitment area, after calling to girls I was called again, Ms Rocel did not ask me things, instead, she discussed what happened to my previous application. She said my profile was put on 'reserved'. There were other things she told me that I decided not to put in here because there were a lot that I could not enumerate one by one. But if you still have questions or you may want to know everything, you can send me an email so I can try to put it in detail :P

2. Rode a cab to go to Marlow because my parents were there. I felt embarassed because I did not notice I have a smaller bill in my wallet. I called my mom and asked her to gey out of the building first so I can pay for the ride haha :p

3. I wanted to go to La Salle so I could ask for a copy of my transcript and a copy of my diploma for Oman Air application. However, I felt like my parents did not want it so I decided to just go there next week, maybe on Friday so I can also have another picture taken haha for 2 other applications: Oman Air and Qatar Air.

4. Asked my dad to stop at Starbucks Power Station. I want frappe to calm myself (I bought strawberries and cream for myself and chocolate cream chip for mom. Papa didn't want anything)! hahaha. Because tomorrow will be another day at work plus the practice for the General Assembly on Friday. how I hate it! I'd be singing and dancing! Shux! I don't dance!

5. I AM RESIGNING ON TUESDAY! Will inform my team leader tomorrow. I have long waited for this! It makes my heart skips because of happiness! I really wanted to quit but I did not have a choice then because I have to finish my bond, and now, the time bond would end on Monday :)

6. Thanks FWB for posting the Qatar Open Day on November 21st! Your blog was such a help! :)Goodluck to you! I'd be waiting for your multiply! :)

Maybe It's A Sign

Okay, this is final, I will not attend 5J's screening on Wednesday.
I feel sad about my decision, well, it's actually mom's advice not to go there anymore on Wednesday. I think this will be the best and this may also be God's message for me.

signs??
1. We are supposed to be on a morning shift next week (8 to 5 and 9 to 6 schedule with Wed and Sun off), but I don't know why and I don't get the rationale why it was changed to 12 to 9 with sat and sun off. I don't think it's about the manning, I will definitely agree with Lars because there have been no additional phonebankers on that shift!

2. For what I know, if you will pass Cebu Pac's Pre Screening, you will undergo more interviews for the following days, you will also have your medicals if you pass. Ayoko maging "feeling"but let's be open to all possibilities of what may happen next hindi ba? It will mean being absent again from work, nasabihan na kasi ako dati ng PBIC namin, and so ayoko naman na mamaya hindi ko rin maituloy ang plano kaya huwag na lang din muna ako mag apply, as advised na rin ng mama ko. Sad, but I really have to be open to all possibilities or consequences, at isa pa, mas frustrating kung hindi ko mapuntahan yung mga susunod. Marami pa rin namang airlines diyan and for sure, magkakaroon pa rin ng opening ang 5J :)

So there, sad, yet I really have to weigh things.

Still hopeful :)

It didn't work out. I did not receive an email from IPAMS. I would admit I was disappointed because I didn't make it. I was at work then and my tears were about to fall, but thank God I have friends who were so supportive, my parents were too, that's why, my hopes were still high! Try and try! Marami pa namang pagkakataon, besides, the time bond would end this November pa. :)

I called IPAMS last Friday to ask if there would still be a DECEMBER ASSESSMENT. I was not able to talk to Ms. Rocel, I was unable to get the name of the girl I've spoken with. She said, "tawag tawag lang po kayo mam kasi wala pa po final na sinasabi ang employer" okay, it was not definite yet, but I'd keep my hopes high!

To my fellow FA applicants, let's just pray that they would still have an assessment on December (especially to those who want to be part of Emirates Air).


MY NEXT STOP: CEBU PACIFIC AIR SCREENING on OCTOBER 28, 2009.

Pre Screening

I went to IPAMS this morning. It was nerve wracking. While I was on my way to IPAMS, I felt there were butterflies in my stomach. I felt like I wanted to cry. I've been texting my friends so as to add confidence in me. I kept on thinking and praying that everything would just turn out fine.

Here's a picture of me while I was on my way to Manila:

I could not afford to miss a single
picture of me wearing corporate
with full make up :P

I arrived at around 9:30 or later. Mama was with me while papa was on our car. The guard directed mama to another side of IPAMS that serves as their waiting area. As I entered IPAMS, nervousness still kept on bothering me, but to contrast it, I just thought that this would be part of my dream. I mean, everyone who dreams of becoming a flight attendant would also experience the same.

I passed my cv together with my pictures and I waited for my turn. I think I was seated for more than 20 mins, I was not able to monitor the time since I was texting my friend Myka.

The guy in white shirt called my name, he was familiar, I think he was the guy who gave us numbers when I went to Qatar Open day last June; I followed him together with the other girls. When I got inside, I seated for a while and waited to be called. The guy in glasses checked my height and my weight. Then I waited again. Then the girl in pink who was nice called me, she asked me to be seated before she commanded me to reach the 212 cm (written on a masking tape) that was posted to the wall. I thought I wouldn't be able to reach it, gosh, I said to myself "ang taas pala ng 212 cm" , hahaha, I mean, I never thought it would be that high.

Then she asked me a few questions why I wanted to be a flight attendant. She also gave me some helpful tips that I would always bear in mind. Then she asked me to wait again, after a while I was asked to go to another room for a group discussion. I don't know how many we were there. Ms Rocel ( now I know her, I was able to receive an email of information from her re Qatar Open days and I also received texts from her informing me of the Qatar Open day last August) asked us to introduce ourselves one after the other then she also did some reminders and tips such as how to do or what to expect if ever we'd be called for the 2nd assessment which would be facilitated by the Emirates Crews/officials themselves. The group discussion was just short, nevertheless, it made me feel like more determined to pursue my dream. I'd never give up.

So there..that was the pre-screening experience. I hope miracles would happen and I'd be able to be shortlisted. This dream was not just for me. It was also for all those who believed in me, my parents, friends and all other people who continuously believe that I can make it as a flight attendant.

We are all Captains!

I've known this poem ever since elementary. Years passed and I almost forget this poem, not until today that I am really serious and determined to reach my dream career - to be a flight attendant. :)

Invictus

by William Ernest Henley; 1849-1903

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the Pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll,

I am the master of my fate;

I am the captain of my soul.

poem from:

http://www.wordinfo.info/words/index/info/view_unit/3981/?letter=P&spage=10

I know being a flight attendant means being away from your loved ones most of the time, but I know fulfilling my dreams does not only benefit my own good, but I know this is also the chance to show how much I am very grateful for people who always believe and support me.

We are all captains of our lives. We can do what we want to do, our fate lies in us; and like what I've accomplished in my college life, I will never stop doing everything so I can reach my goal!

Keeping a Dream, Reaching for the Star

I was set to be on a graveyard (gy) schedule for the coming couple of weeks. I had been thinking
and thinking of how will I attend IPAMS' Pre screening for Emirates Airlines on that kind of schedule. I just prayed and asked God for assistance, luckily, just this weekan aid came. While on work, and while I couldn't take calls because of my suspended access on our system (due to wrong password entered), I received a multicast coming from one of my team mates, one of her batchmates needs a gy schedule in exchange of the earliest morning shift which was 6 to 2. I felt that it was a great chance for me so I could go to IPAMS to try. I knew it wouldn't be worthless going there. I knew very well that I wouldn't be losing anything if I'd try. And so I swapped my night shift for the earliest schedule.

Now, I have more time to prepare. The only thing bothering me right now was the rain, I couldn't go out because it was really pouring hard. I may not do anything todaybut at least I could list all the things I have to accomplish this week in preparation for my plan.

By the way, I watched VIEW FROM THE TOP for the second time. Still, I was emotional, especially on the scene where Donna Jensen was already set to fly for RoyaltyAirlines and no longer for Royalty Express. It was the scene at the airport, where she saw flight attendants from different international airlines while the song "No Sign of it" was playing on the background. The
scene did melt my heart; my tears fell, I did remember how my heart wanted to be like her in real life.

The film inspired me more to strive for my dream career and to keep my optimism going and getting stronger. In addition, I would also like to emphasize the word SUPPORT, coming from a lot of people for encouraging me to be a flight attendant. I must agree with what Donna Jensen said: "SALLY WESTON ALWAYS
SAY, THE GREATEST ASSET SOMEBODY
CAN HAVE IS HAVING PEOPLE WHO
WILL BELIEVE IN THEM."

Reaching for the Dream

Christmas songs had been playing in my laptop since last week. I have long waited for the "BER" months to come. I know, the ber months will bring good days as I now have more time to climb the steps toward my dreams of becoming a flight attendant. It was my mom's dream for me when I was young, it was not my dream then, but now, I wanted to fulfill that dream. With this, it was moving to know that people around you were continuously showing their support for your dream and that adds to your strength.
I wanted to set aside my love life first in order to pursue and fulfill my dream career. At 21, I'm still single. I'd stop (for now) praying for that one guy (or even the guy I ever loved since college) to come into my life now as I'm more focused and determined to get into that job that most girls were dreaming for. I couldn't help but be emotional whenever I read blogs about the lives of international flight attendants because I wanted to be like them. Sometimes, I couldn't keep myself from bringing out some what if's in my life like, what could have happened if I prayed for my career first than for that one guy who never became mine..and etc.
I promise I'd be working for all the things I need and if possible,I'd also attend screenings of hiring airlines. I'd never give up my dreams, especially now that my determination to attain it was so high.
To my fellow flight attendant hopefuls,
LET'S REACH FOR THE STARS! LET THE WORLD BE OUR PLAYGROUND AS WHAT THE INTERNATIONAL CABIN CREWS SAY. LET'S KEEP OUR HOPES ON A HIGHER GROUND!

Fly High

I visited Cebu Pacific's site because I did a canvass for a round trip air ticket going to Palawan. Well, when I saw the prices, I realized I have to save a lot if that plan (with my officemates) would push through. :)

Moving on, I tried browsing their careers link, and saw this position - this was my mom's dream for me when I was still a kid. I disapproved of it then, but now, there was a 360 degree turn. It was now my goal..my dream career. I love discovering places I've never been before. We learn from things, places and people we're not familiar to. I really do hope (fingers crossed*) that I could get my dream job after the.., ****.

I promise, I'd do my very best just to land on my dream career. NO TO GIVING UP!

Honestly.,

CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR

I guess, whatever I have now is only the result of what I prayed. God answers our prayers. I just realized that this "real world" I am into right now is just an answered prayer. I remember, during the latter part of year 2008, I asked God to grant me a job before Christmas,I even said "okay lang kung hindi masyadong high profile yung job and okay lang din na kahit sobrang hirap niya, basta ang mahalaga magkaroon ako ng work before Christmas. Hindi bale na pong mahirapan ako sa work basta po ang mahalaga may pag asa pa rin kami ni *** sa future". Gosh! so this is God's answer to what I prayed. I really cannot imagine myself sacrificing a lot just for that ONE person who never asked anything from me. I am so pathetic. I am so hopeless. I am so desperate! Now, there's no one to blame but me. I know I have only myself to blame. No one forced me to accept that work. My mom, at first, disapproved of it because PAL (Philippine Airlines) also invited me for an interview. Now, I can't help but feel so much regrets. I don't have any choice but to wait for the first year. This year has been so depressing, frustrating, and painful. Sometimes, I feel like I already experienced all the bad lucks that fate can offer. But on the other part of me, I am still hoping that my next work will never be like this. I mean, I just can't stand this kind of work. This is not for me and I already accepted that. Also, I will never, ever, trade the happiness and satisfaction that I can get from my work to that one person who never cared for me. I am not saying this to gain pity from people, I mean, let's just be honest, the saying, Love yourself first is true. Not to sound selfish, but, I guess, you will never know how to love until you love yourself.

Career has been my priority now. Ayoko ng masira at masayang lahat ng mga paghihirap ko noong College. Hindi naman ito ang pinangarap ko na career para sa sarili ko. Ang sakit na parang ang baba ng tingin sa'yo ng mga tao, ngayon ko ulit naranasan yung parang walang naniniwala sa'yo at nirereklamo ka pa sa mga pagkakamali mo. I understand this is part of the real world, But I am sorry, this is not what I hoped for. I am really looking forward for a fruitful career ahead. I am praying that in the near future, I will come face to face with my dream job.

Tama na muna yang pag-ibig, I guess, mom's right, it can wait.
