A very sad realization

I was chatting with Gretel, one of my college sisters, when suddenly I found myself ranting to her about my career life. Again, sorry sis, I didn’t mean to rant to you and thank you for listening.

In 4 months time, I’ll officially reach 3 years in my current team/position. The sad part is, during those years, I was given a big break only once. Then a f*cking re-org took everything away. At least that’s how I see it right now. Contrary to what my friends are thinking of – I’m not happy – at least right this moment.

I miss Bimbo, Joe, Therese and Nix.

The uber delayed teambuilding post

Late last year, there was again another organizational change in the company where I work for. However, this time, the impact to our team was quite big. Admittedly, when we were first informed about it, I felt bad. I was agitated for a lot of reasons. Ok, that’s another story.

So to cut the long story short, our team was “merged” with another team from another department. We now all report to 1 big boss. So to foster camaraderie and for everyone to get to know each other, we arranged an overnight teambuilding event at Eagle Point Resort in Batangas.

Too bad we missed Shindie this time. Last teambuilding, it was Sel. When will we be complete?

I can say that the money we paid for this event was all worth it. Every resort personnel greets us when they see us. They are very attentive to our needs. The serving and the taste of the food is way better than in Antulang. The amenities are also great! My whole experience in the resort was very enjoyable and memorable.

If there was something that I didn’t like in this event, it would be the travel. The traffic was so heavy (maybe because it’s almost Christmas time – but duh!).

I’d also like to acknowledge in this post the staff and crews of Chowking Startoll branch. As usual, I had bottles of expressed milk with me on our way back to Manila. Since the traffic was so heavy, I had to put them in ice to keep them cold until I reach home. To my dismay, the Petron treats (Startoll branch) does not sell cube ice and instead, the crew told to me ask Chowking staff if they could give me some! What duh! Fortunately, the staffs and crews of Chowking gave me a half bag full of ice cubes – for FREE! Many thanks to them, my bottles of breastmilk reached our fridge safely.

Till next outing/teambuilding!

Optimism

I’ve gone through too many changes this year, both personal and professional. And now, it makes me wonder now, how I and some people around me were able to endure them all.

I must say, the biggest change this year that I liked the most is Ayex. Let’s not talk about the least anymore. I’d like to believe that the recent changes in my professional life are all for the better. I knew most of my peers are hoping for the same thing. Wish us luck!

I thought the recent corporate changes our team went through will make me ask the question I know I will not be able to answer clearly: Where do I go from here? Really, I’m not sure. Scratch that. I’m sure of what I want after this corporate life. But I’m sure too that aside from that choice is a bit impractical, it is really not possible at this time. I want to be a Stay-At-Home-Mom (SAHM). Yes, you read it right. Again, maybe not now.

With all my previous peers going to Singapore, that just made me think what do I really want to happen with my corporate life. The problem lies there. I’m not really sure what I want. Or maybe, I know what I want to do but I don’t know what job is that. Hahaha!

Oh well. Let’s see what 2008 will bring us then maybe that will help me create better decisions.
