Life in General: New Work

Since the second half July, I back to travelling daily to work in Makati. Yes I’m working away from home again. Banzai! XD

I watch Facebook pages from companies, games and communities. The have known about this company since 2012. I have applied for the post back then, but I did not made the cut. So, now I believe in “the second time is sweeter”. I like this place it seems that you can be what you want to be here. I just hope my writing skills work well here or at least improve a lot.

What do I like about this place and it made me come back and try to bag the job again?

I’ll list it down for you:

1. The ambiance of the place is really light. Unlike my previous work, that after a month or after the training I find myself dragging my body to work.
2. Dress code: as look as you are presentable. I think this is great as I believe that you work better if you feel comfortable.
3. Work load, it is light. Can be crazy sometimes but you have your team to help you with it.
4. I get to plot my own rest days! Yes, I’m happy about that, although it is kinda hard especially if you are the last one to plot it XD
5. I do not get locked out from the outside world. If you work for BPOs, mobile phones are not allowed inside the operations floor and social networking sites are block. That you only become free for two 15 minutes and an one hour break.
6. We are on shifting but at least the time is fixed. 6 a.m. to 3 p.m., 2 p.m. to 11 p.m., and 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. Plus it is not hard to get to work on the said schedule.
7. The people are friendly and since it is a small office you get to know everyone. No, I have not met everyone. I’m just a lurker when it come to socializing. Although, I have been asked to be more open.

After being here for almost a month, I think I can stay here and grow it is the ultimate goal. I just hope my age will not hinder me. I really feel shy about working with a group that has people that  is younger than me. Yes, I feel the age gap!

Excuse me while I pep talk to myself: I can do this! I know that this will be a great for me!

Oh by the way, I think there are still openings check it here:

Thinking out loud: Do you like Bittersweet things?

the wallflower and the social butterfly

Bittersweet is an Oxymoron, a figure of speech in which two extreme words are put together to describe something.

Ever wonder why people seem to like bittersweet things or situations?

Let me tell you why, well this is this me, my observation, and my reason why I like bittersweet things or situations. One is for the thrill, let me give you a sample; kissing someone else that you like when you are in a relationship or even just the thought of it. Bitter as you know it is not right and the ‘thrill’ is the sweet part. Not knowing if it will just be a onetime thing or if you will be caught by your partner. The whole situation makes you feel alive; it’s the rush of things.

We move on to the next reason I see why people like bittersweet things, Balance. As stated in my first sentence, bittersweet is an Oxymoron. For me, you use an Oxymoron as you feel like you are in between two opposite emotions. As they say, you will never know happiness if you have not experienced sorrow or sadness. Being in a situation wherein you feel that you are happy and yet you feel pained is how some people gauge that they are still alive and at the middle point. You might say that should be neutral ground, no it is no neutral grounds as you are aware that you feel both emotions.

In short people like the feeling of being tugged from one side to the other. Guess the outcome of one’s decision and if the parties involved will do something to make you fall completely to their respected side.  We all will go through some bittersweet situation in the future or maybe you are having one now, I have an advice for you, if I was in the situation I will enjoy it and if in the end you win or lose something because of it don’t be sad it is another lesson learned after all.

Fashion vs Style

Let us start with defining the two words

Fashion
A popular trend, especially in styles of dress and ornament or manners of behavior.

Style
A distinctive appearance, typically determined by the principles according to which something is designed.

Both definition were lifted from google

Why did I define the two terms? For me to point out that they are not the same, they can be synonymous but not interchangeable for me. Fashion is general and Style is fashion with a personal touch. Take this black dress as a sample.

Let us say that this black lace dress in the new in fashion. It means it is trendy. However not all that is trendy looks good on people. That is where style comes in. Now look at this modified photo (sorry about the bad photoshoping)

By adding a few items it have become my style, yes I like Gothic things. This is my style and I know if I have these items with me I will look good in it. I has become unique to me, as against if I just were the black dress.

I sure you have your own style one that will always make you look good unlike fashion that only looks good on a select few
