Tonight's gonna be my 13th day or should I say 13th night on my new job. I was hired last August 3 by the Certeza Infosys Corporation (CIC). A reliever actually for Carren's (a close friend and classmate in college) post who's now expected to deliver her first baby boy this month. Carren by the way, looked more beautiful now than during our college years. Perhaps because of the child she's carrying in her womb. Being preggy they say can either make you look good or the contrary.
Anyways,..A new job. And that definitely involved a whole lot of adjustments. I was then planning to apply to be part of the Remote Sensing Team of Pintor Surveying. But after weeks or should I say months of waiting for the equipments to arrive (as what has been their alibis), I gave up waiting and decided to try my luck in city.
I took the 3D exam of CIC and passed (at least that what the examiner told me) and was told to wait for the call (the common line used by most companies, of which we all know has a certain implication). From that, I thought of trying out applying in the call center (Magellan Solutions). After a series of exams and interviews, I was scheduled for contract signing. I've waited for a day for the confirmation and ended up with much frustrations. Fortunately, by 7PM, I was called by Mam Mary of CIC scheduling my first day of work.
I took the offer from the CIC, though the rate has been lowered. The rate, Mam Mary had told me would only increase according to my performance (a wise move by the company then). This is what's giving me the pressure now. Hehe.
The following day, Miss Wendy called me three times, but I didn't took the time to answer not knowing what to say or how to refuse the offer.

Anyhow, my first week in CIC has been good...going in at 9:30 AM and out at 7:15 PM. Later, I was told that I'll be part of the team doing the night shifts. With people like Norman, Steve, Jonathan and the rest of the gang, I thought that I would do just fine and that it'd be so much fun.
No big bosses walking down the corridor...no supervisor...and with the radio turned on loudly with the whole team listening to Papa Jack's "Wild Confessions" program, well... who wouldn't feel ecstatic about that.
Indeed, it's been fun and with the weekend spent drinking and videoke, I couldn't ask for more than that. "When love and hate collide" and "I miss You"...it's become an LSS in the office after I sang my heart out in the videoke with the team. It was my 2nd drinking session with the gang after we spent my first saturday in Mike's space in Taguig.

I'm now done with digitizing features like buildings, trails, etc, on the the photo images. . I just hope everything I've done is good or at the very least not bad at all.
I would give and offer all of my work then to HIM who's giving me strength. Lately, through everything that happended, I must admit that I've almost forgotten about Him. But when I was on my way to the office last Monday, I experienced a sudden feeling of emptiness... a feeling I've experienced not so long ago when I decided to let go of HIS hands.
And just when the rain have started to fall on that Monday afternoon,...HE came to my mind. I was inside the FX then when I started to key in my phone a lyrics of a song I have in mind.
La la la...
I just couldn't exactly tell how the melody would go...but I know the lyrics would be like this:
As I went on my way to the office
Making my way down the streets and the heavy traffic
I felt an emptiness inside me growing
And I know something in me is missing
It's you Lord, I've forgotten
It's you Lord, I've forgotten
I've forgot to thank You
I've forgot to think that You're the very reason
Why I live today and for 50 or 100 years coming
It's You Lord that I miss
It's You Lord that I miss
I miss my only God
And then the rain started to fall
And I felt You're very presence that moment more
As the rain fell from the sky
Tears roll down my eyes
Cause I know there's Someone I'm missing
I know there's someone I'm missing
And that's the lyrics...and I'm working on the melody. I hope I could hold a guitar this weekend so I could work on it.
I am so thankful that through the problems I have within me, He shows His light and directs me to where I could feel HIM.
Last Tuesday, I was told that within the Greenhills shopping center, a chapel is situated in the center of it. It was nice to know that through the busy life in the city, a place so solemn (but not so as compared to the Carmelite Monastery in Lahug, Cebu) will be found.
