Yes
I’m adding this country to the roster of my MNC employers. J I changed my previous job title for something
with more panache. Haha! Don’t get me wrong, I used to love my ex-job
role because of the C word in it until I found out that the same title is also
being used in some other fields which often leads to misinterpretation whenever
I speak about it to other people. Now I
have the M word in it, but it doesn’t really involve handling people because I
don’t think I’m ready for it, but it’s a role that I envisioned myself doing
before. :P Anyway, what am I saying?? This is just too shallow worrying about job
titles right? Hehe. The important thing is the function and one
aspect of this new job is the S&M factor in it (no, I’m not talking about Rihanna’s lol!) and this is just one
world that I’ve always wanted to try without having to sacrifice my technical
background. And so I’m so so so grateful
for this new opportunity.
Having
said that, I no longer enjoy the comfort of working from home. I’m now officially a Makati girl! Yey!!
I know I told you before about how it was a dream for me to actually
work here. And I can’t believe it’s
finally happening. Sometimes whenever I
strut my stuff along Ayala to grab a take out lunch, it still gives me a kick
seeing those towering skyscrapers above me or even just looking down from the
41st floor where my office is located and seeing the hustle and
bustle of this business district. Probinsiyana lang?? Hahaha!!
Sorry naman, working from home
in the city for three years had practically made an hermit out of me. Hehe.
Don’t’ get me wrong, I know some people would kill to have a job like
mine before - waking up 30 minutes
before the office time thereby avoiding the morning rush, managing your own
time, saving a lot and a lot of other benefits I could think of but maybe
I belong to the real “physical” corporate world – dressing up corporately
(yesssssss!!), face to face meetings, co-workers association, easy access to
malls and happening places (haha!), etc. :P
It’s
only been 7 days since I started and I’m still loving everything about this job
or working in this place. It took only a
few days for my co-workers to unleash that jolly part of me (I think I hold the title for having the
loudest laugh I guess in the office, haha!) and we’ll be having a karaoke
session soon. ;-) Those things that
other people find annoying about working here are strangely giving me secret
pleasures – i.e, the long queues in fastfood chains during lunch, crowded transportation
mediums, long wait in the elevators, etc.
I love the possibility of bumping into acquaintances via the underpass,
that fleeting blast of aircon against the outside heat whenever you pass by
PBCom Tower, the ubiquity of coffee shops and the list goes on. Perhaps one day I’ll get tired of all these
things I mentioned but for now allow me to just bask in this new job, new
workplace, new co-workers and a new beginning. ;-)
As
I type this, I’m now in one of the hotels in KL for work. And I’ll soon have an idea on how it is like
to report to a Swedish boss. Yay! :P
