Discovery Suites

I've been working at Discovery Suites just for the past week but I can not wait to chronicle everything.

Nakakapanibago din pala talaga.. I was working in operations since I graduated over 4 years ago, so the whole office set-up is relatively new to me. I had admin works in my previous jobs, of course, but I can't believe how different having a "few" admin work is to having admin work 100% of my duty time. It takes getting used to, but I feel I can adjust well enough because I realized for a while now that this is what I want to do with my career. I want to work and eventually grow in the Hotel Industry.

The excitement seems endless. Andaming bago, andaming natutunan at nakikilala. Sana nga I have what it takes to take off and succeed in my chosen field.

I'm nervous, but at the same time looking forward to all the new things i'll experience. Sana nga talaga, this is really is it na talaga ;)

It pays to be patient..

In just over 4 months, the waiting game has finally ended.. And i can say with certainty, it was all worth it!

It sounds so cliche but God really has His plan for each and everyone of us.. We may not understand this at a particular time in our life, but we should learn to trust enough to let go and find peace in His love. There were a lot of "wasted" and "almost" opportunities in the past, but those times helped me realize how precious my "now" really is.

Some say, if it's really meant to be, it will come naturally.. easily even. I kinda agree. After all has been said and done, I realize, I am where I am right now in my life because I was patient enough to wait and believe. Hindi ko pinilit kasi alam ko, God's plans for us will always be what's best.

Looking back, I can say even though I still can not understand the meaning of the things I went through in the past to get where I am now.. (I'm not perfect). Pero it brought me here and I can not be more thankful.

The waiting game..

It's been over a week since but still there's no calls. The last friday the 13th we had was lucky for me, I hope today proves the same.

"Lord help me be patient, help me accept and trust. Help me focus and enjoy the beauty that is today. Thank you. Amen"

Kanin Club Dinner with I6 Blockmates

Had dinner with former I6 blockmates last night at Kanin Club Ayala Triangle. It's always fun to catch up with them and reminisce about college life. UP Diliman life was really the best experience anyone can ever have and sharing 4 years with these people, all the more made it unforgettable. 


Jozelle and I also had our own task to complete earlier that day, and we were pooped come dinner time. We were literally together the WHOLE day, more than 12 hours. Haha. We were at QC/ UP area then walked a huge part of Timog, took a bus to Ortigas walked around the compound of Megamall, before finally taking the MRT to Ayala. All this walking around with non-stop rain, can really take its toll on anyone. What a way to spend a DAY OFF. Hopefully, it will all be worth it soon. 

June 26, 2012 Tuesday

Am I happy my blog is still up and running! It's nice to know all the memories I found important enough to write about so many years ago, are still preserved and safe in my own little space. =)

Update: I'm having a quarter-life crisis! Hahaha. Or so I believe.. At least when it comes to my career. I've been with SM for the past 1 year and 8 months and I'm at the point wherein, i'm settled. As in, i'm not in the new/ adjustment phase that was so uncomfortable and unpleasant.. I'm also past the stage wherein naaliw ako sa bawat nangyayaring bago sa work. Wala pa naman ako sa point na wala nang pakialam.. Buti na lang. I'm at  a point wherein i feel like i've done all i could for the company and my department, and it's time to move on. Maybe onto a different position, or a different company or a different industry all together.

I feel like, us having a new Department Manager last Tuesday, is the sign i was looking for to confirm my feelings. Parang, okay na sila. I won't be "abandoning" them when/ if  I leave. Naalala ko kasi dati namin Manager, bago siya umalis (back in Feb), sabi niya wag ko daw muna iwan ang Department, wag ko muna iwan co-supervisor ko. So I guess I stayed because I can't leave. Now, after 5 months.. This is the moment.

*fingers crossed*
