Another week passed by and not much to talk about except that I'm getting very haggard from all the stress I get and lack of sleep.

This week, I finally took care of my BPI account for my payroll and I am just annoyed by how long my name is. My middle initial and surname did not even fit in the card. I'm worried it might be a problem in the future.

The weather has been insane this week. I almost got stranded last Thursday, to think that the storm that went by wasn't a super typhoon yet. It was already raining since the start of the week then last Thursday, we had a meeting with a client at Rockwell and we headed home at around 6PM but me and my officemate who I was going with since we both ride in Ayala couldn't ride a taxi but fortunately, our boss offered us a ride and drop us off at the MRT station in Guadalupe. The traffic north bound was very heavy and it took us almost an hour just to get to the station. After we parted ways in the Ayala MRT station, I still caught my mom at the line which was very long. It turns out several places were flooded which is why some of the vehicles were delayed and some shuttles couldn't go back to the terminal immediately. It took us two hours waiting in line to buy a card for the shuttle then another two hours for the trip home since traffic was still heavy at that time. But at that point, we were still lucky. Other places were damaged more. Even some of the people in our office couldn't get home and some stayed til midnight while some stayed overnight. I heard there were even twisters that hit some cities early afternoon yesterday. But earlier today, the sun started to shine again so I'm glad about that.

It's been two weeks since I started to work for the company. It's okay so far, the job is very different from my previous work and I'm still trying to adjust.

But the people are nice and helpful which helps lighten up my mood and attitude towards work. Even though if there are problems in the working environment and the management, I'm surviving. I'm hoping I could last in this company for even a year.

I have my own desk which I didn't have in my first job. Though one of the drawers is locked because the previous person who used my table took the key. I don't know how I can personalize it though. It feels so plain and boring. But then it's not like I get paid big to spend a lot on making my office area so beautiful.

I'm kinda disappointed with the speed/slowness of our net and the eating area since it is not air conditioned which means we have to eat under warm temperature.

But enough about my work for now.

Last Wednesday, I had a very bad experience. My phone got stolen while I was riding on the jeep on the way to the office. I realized it after the guy sitting beside me went down from the jeep. I didn't know what to do and I tried not to panic and just vent it out when I got to the office. The phone was my mom's old phone but it was still in good condition and I really liked that phone. Good thing I don't text a lot but there are still some important numbers and messages listed there.

So yesterday, I got my mom to buy me a new phone which was a Samsung Champ. It's my first time to use a Samsung so I was quite hesitant but I have no right to be picky and it was one of the cheapest decent phone I could find. I went to a Globe service center earlier today and got my cellphone number back which I didn't know is possible. So now I got my old number back. How I wish it could also retrieve all the information on my old sim card. I still have to buy a memory stick and the usb cable that connects the phone to the computer.

I watched Super 8 last week and Green Lantern today. I kinda fell asleep in both,but that's because I was so tired from work. Speaking of movies, my dvd player bonked out again for the nth time.I hope it gets fixed so I don't have to get a new one..

I also went to DLSU last Thursday to celebrate its centennial year!It was great to see the campus again though I didn't see a lot of familiar faces:(

I am so torn right now. I finally found a job and they've chosen me in one of the positions they were looking for but there are several things that are already working against my favor.

The office is not so good. The building looks so old, out of place, it is so hot inside because there is no central airconditioning, my potential future boss looks bitchy and so on. In other words, the working environment is not pleasant.

The salary is a little bit higher than my previous job but it's way lower than what I expected at least, to think that my salary expectations were already too low.

I'm supposed to start as a probationary employee so I'm gonna give credit to that and hope that it will get better after some months.

The job requires me to go to different places, mostly to meet clients. I don't have a car so that means I'll have to use public transportation. The HR is not even sure if there will be allowance to be given but reassures that reimbursement will be given, but my main concern will be what about public transportation that does not have receipts or any kind of proof to show that I rode in the transportation like jeepneys or the trains? My money might not be returned, and my salary will be wasted. If only my salary was higher, I could have saved up for a car and I won't have this problem.

Another thing is my pre-employment requirements. Though it's my fault, it's probably a sign. I have already done my medical and got my baranggay clearance this week. I tried to get NBI clearance earlier but I have to get it back on Monday next week, and the HR wants me to submit everything by Friday this week. I also have to take care of my SSS by tomorrow and I'm not even sure where to get it. Hopefully, I finish it by the morning.

I need to finish this as I'm terribly tired and sleepy. I hope I could update this soon with good news!
