I don't know why my stay got short, my boss just talked to me and said he wants to move my last working date earlier. It was surprising as I only had 2 more working days after that day and I didn't have the chance to have a farewell to all my officemates, not that I have a planned send-off celebration though. And my plans got ruined a little, but an early vacation wouldn't be so bad though.
I already told my mom about my plan of going to driving school and she was okay with it. Now we have to look for where I would study.
So now, I'm going to enumerate some of the major and minor things I've learned and experienced during my stay, both good and bad.
1. Commuting in the wee hours of the day. I've learned that there are public transpo very early in the morning as well as very late at night. Though it wasn't pleasurable as the quantity of public vehicles pales in comparison to regular hours, I was able to survive or else I'll be poor from taking a cab every day.
2. Budgeting my expenses. Somehow, I got to deposit some money in my bank account which I didn't do so before because I had no money coming in. But I've learned that I spend exactly P101 for commute going to and from work. I've limited myself to cheap snacks and also bring food from the house for daily meals which allows me to save more money.
3. Less expenses for miscellaneous. Believe it or not, I only spent some money for clothing this week after I learned of my early departure. I spent money on two shirts that was on sale and that's the only time I spent money I've earned from work on clothes. Though I admit that I spent some money in the earlier months for some things that could have been avoided like watching movies every week in the theaters which I could have watched on dvd like I've been doing recently. But I'm pretty satisfied of my spending ways(or lack of it)
4. Books, books, books. I read a total of 6 books during my stay, that would make it a book per month. I know that's not as many as other bookworms out there but I only read when I have free time in the office plus I only buy books when they're on sale so I don't have a lot of chances to buy a lot of books when there is no sale.
5. Bypassing FB and Twitter. Now I know there are proxy sites but they are blocked in the office too but I learned how to bypass the blocked sites, or at least some of them.
6. Accessories. Since I haven't bought any new clothes during my stay, I made up for it by creating new accessories by using old stuff so they're old but made new in a different way:)
7. Movies. I don't know how many movies I've watched on theaters and dvd but I'm pretty sure it's more than 10.
8. Music. Oh how much I have listened to so many artists during work.
9. I've listened to so many messages from different people in the US and UK and now I've learned a bit more about them.
10. Walk in the city. Despite wanting to get a car, when I'm assigned in a night shift, it's nice to walk from the mall going to the office, listening to music and have some time to contemplate about a lot of things.
There are probably a lot more but I should probably list more in the following blogs so I have something to talk about while I'm a bum:P
