My first job

JG Summit Holdings Inc. Management Trainee.

I’ll be assigned in Universal Robina Corporation (URC) – flour Marketing and Sales.
It’s a mixture of being excited, happy, nervous and sad. I am definitely happy because I really want to be a management trainee. It’s not really an entry level position because after the training you’ll assume a position immediately so it’s definitely a great first job. I really want to handle marketing of a consumer good so that’s a plus. And, I heard that training in URC is good too.

I am nervous because there are always bigger expectations for us, 25 lucky people chosen for the management traineeship for the Gokongwei’s group of companies. I am sad because there is less time for the people I love. 8am to 6:30 job takes away a lot of precious time that could have been spent with those I love. And from this time on, being employed leaves me no choice but to be more mature and be more responsible. I am now in the process of signing a lot of documents, filing TIN, Pag-ibig, Philhealth etc. which makes me feel nervous because these are legal documents. Hahaha

Anyway, for now I just want to make good use of my remaining time as a bum before entering the corporate world.

21st birthday

In my previous entry (a few days before my birthday), I wished that somebody would just plan my day and that I would just attend. And that was, well, kinda exactly what happened. :)

The day began in the worst possible thought and mood. Well, it was a mixture of disappointment, anger and sadness. The morning was just not so right for me. Anyway, I still followed the plan - lunch date, job haunt while waiting for rj – but my mood was just not getting better. There were arguments here and there. It reached the point when I just wanted to go home.

Anyhow, let’s just get to the best part of the day. Things were getting better since the start of the movie and afterwards Rj and I went around the mall (which we always do whenever we go out) then suddenly we saw Angelo and I called his name and approached him. I asked him what was he doing there and if he is with someone. He said he’s just alone and then he was kinda in a hurry so I just let him go. He didn’t even greet me! Haha Anyway, we just went on and looked for this restaurant (I forgot the name! :p) Anyway, when we arrived there I saw that the restaurant is full and I even saw some people waiting outside but Rj just kept on walking towards the door. I said to him that there’s a line outside but suddenly when I looked inside I saw Bennett! I got excited and just went inside and approached them. It was definitely the best part of the day – seeing all the people I love and having a surprise gathering. They sang and there’s a cake. I love it! :)

I love you guys! You just don’t know how you made my day really happy and complete. J
Blockmates and clique, this surprise dinner is really the best part of my day. Thank you so much for coming and I really appreciate seeing you all there. I miss you guys! I hope we can do this more often – just eating together and catching up on things.
Special thanks to “organizers” – charms, mon mon and Rj. Thanks also to Gino for texting everyone :p

I love you guys! :) It was my first surprise birthday celebration :)

Next birthday ulit! :p

*Thanks for everything. Things didn’t start and end right but maybe it happened for a reason. To make us stronger? I don’t know :p But really, thank you. It was definitely my most memorable birthday :p
