My Work Life

After my father died I promise to dedicate my life for my family until my brother graduates and completes his college education. At first I never really liked the situation but then there comes a time that I need to give back what my father gave and sacrifices for me. I've been trough many jobs since I was in elementary and I get used to it. One thing I'm not used to is being the only one who has a Job in the family. It's never been easy because I am a person who goes out so often and be with my friends to drink and just to stay out all night. Hahahaha.. That's exactly what I am before my father died. The Last thing that really comes into my mind is his wish at my 21st birthday. He wishes me to become a good girl.. And that hunts me all the time today.

We did not expect that our father will die that soon. Before our graduation comes he leaves. He wishes us to graduate it came true but he did not come. He dies last January 23 2011 because of heart failure due to High blood P reassure. It was hard and until now, everyday that reality hurts. Enough to that, my tears always run trough my cheeks when I spoke or heard about Fathers.

In my younger years I used to sell street foods like ice candy, puto cheese, fried banana and many more I even sell cigars and candy's at our "Bulangan".. hehehe.. I'm happy doing that. I stop working during my High School years because I was more focus on my friends and that triggers my "Laag Session" with my classmates. I started to hang out more often than usual and I even get kicked out of ZSNHS because I failed 4 subjects in my 2nd Year.. Hahahahaha.. Very Bad.. :) I was transfered by my parents to a private school at HCA because it was the only school in our city who accepts students like me. After I graduated high School my fist job was a SUMMER JOB, a project of our mayor every summer to let the youth be motivated to earn money even in summer. It was good but I was assigned in the SLAUGHTER HOUSE. Everyday we clean a pond that's full of water lilies and worms. In front of the pond is a dam with full of animal's shit. I did not get used of the smell at first but as time goes by we are able to eat lunch in front of it. The air is good in there. The job runs for 30 days. After that I started College at St. Columban College taking up BSCS. It was my passion to be in front of a computer someday. I want to teach computer someday.. :) During my breaks on my College days I sell snacks at my father's work place. Every 9am and 3pm, I go home and sell banana cue and ice candy to his workplace and that runs for a year. During the night me and my siblings (ate and kuya) go to his work place to clean every bus that calls us. We clean it so that it will be clean and be ready for passengers boarding the next day. Those tiring moments are our bonding moments. Every First month of the year was there Inventory and for 2 consecutive years I was their writer that job runs for a month. As I love writing I love the Job. Year 2007 a call from my dad's manager changes my whole college moment. I was called to the office and don't know what I did wrong I was really scared that day. But then I was wrong. I was called because a merge of the 2 companies which is the Negros Navigation and the Rural Transit was about to start and I'll be thier cashier. That was a big break for me. That job triggers me to transfer at WMSU and attend night School in college with the same course and ended up 6 years in college hahaha. Since I was a scholar in our school until I graduate. My father pay's just almost 2thou or lower every sem. The bad thing about having a job in your college for me is that I go out every night, and get scolded everyday. Hahahaha.. Whenever the pays out I go with my friends and drank. That job lasted 2 years and 7 months. I receive a fake money worth 2000 and resigned after I finish paying the said amount. My father was really happy that day because he wants me to stop working and focus on my study more. After 3 months I was hired by Jolibee foods Corporation to become thier staff. I was assigned in the pantry station and got new friends. I stay the same until I ended up my contract. I have so many friends at Jolibee and until now the managers recognizes me because of my "kasipat" as they always say. I was a real drunkard when I was in college. hahahaha.. I ought to go to new places every month. Today I realize that If I stay at home after every duty I was able to say to my family what I wanted to say now. I focus on my studies when my OJT starts. I don't have any job after February 2010. My father wants me to focus on my studies which was really hard for me. Hahahaha.. I got my OJt at PNB. I am the only WMSU student who pass the interview. We are 3 who applied on that establishment. After that I focus on my studies until I graduated college. By the way I gave up all vices I have when my father died. That was a promise I made before he leave, which was his wish during my 21st birthday.

After I graduated College I apply for work, my old manager Mam Lina wants me to be in the company and she keeps on calling me but that time I think that it would be better for me to start a new job. I know She understands me until now she wanted me to work their but I refuse for I know that God still have plans for me. I apply every job openings I see 3 of them called for interview and I choose to be on the Firstpage Websearch Company to be a writer. I love writing poems during my younger days. That way I expressed what I feel. I love to read books and be on a computer all day. That's why I really love this job even it's hard. Writing articles is confusing and sometimes frustrating when you don't know what to start at first. I was assigned in CDO when they opened a branch there but comes back to Pagadian when the branch closes and filed bankruptcy. My stay in CDO is really great together with Ellyn, Hara and Joanne the 4 months stay is really worth while. After then I came back here in Pagadian and stayed for almost 6 months. I am now on my 1 year and 9 months in the company and this company really helps my family because it was my first job when I graduated and the one who support my family for almost my existence here in the company.

..another phase of my life is coming soon.. :)
