Working Student

So there... It's been 5 days since OJT started. Summer class has just started as well. You know I've realized and I now know the feeling of being a working student. Most especially on my part, I only have an hour to travel from the office to the school. Have I mentioned that the office is in East Ave. while school is in the middle of Manila? Can you imagine the traffic along Quezon Ave and Espana? Nakakaloka, di ba? Buti na lang my professor is considerate and understanding that he allowed me to go to class even if I'm not wearing the school uniform. Anyway.. I am enjoying my OJT except for the fact that I have to wake up at around 5AM everyday of my life just to be at the office on time. I wanna make kwento!!! Hahaha make kwento!

Come Monday, the first day of OJT. We were there before 9AM, the call time for the orientation. But screw that Filipino time, the orientation started at around 11AM. We were briefed about our office assignments and asked about our schedules. Too bad, tatlo kaming friends pero I was designated to a different department while the two others were on the same. Pero okay lang, kasi magkatabi lang. Then we went back to school afterwards to attend the first day of class. Damn it, para kaming sardinas sa dami. We were praying na sana the section will be divided into two kasi sobrang init at sikip kung ganun kami kadami. Then in the afternoon, I went shopping for the clothes that I'd be wearing for OJT. Yiheeee. Going to the office makes me feel excited.

Then come Tuesday, our real first day of work. I went to the office all by myself. I was very nervous I really wasn't sure of what I was doing. Hate na hate ko talaga yung nagcocommute ng hindi ko sure kung tama ginagawa ko. Pero I needed to learn how to go to the office alone kasi wala naman talaga kong makakasama. Thank God I made it. Then at the office, I first knew Ms. Cherry then she introduced me to the others. Glad they were all good, including the lawyers! The lawyers told me that they will, if time permits, bring me to their hearing! Yehey, can't wait to see a real life court drama! Hahaha.

Come Wednesday.. I still have nothing to do in the office. Para akong pumapasok sa office para tumunganga. As in. Pero I love going to the office kasi the friends and I ay walang ginawa kung di tumawa ng tumawa. This thing makes the stress go away. Hahaha!

Come Thursday, ayan may ginawa na ko! I was asked to type a memorandum made by one of the lawyers. Forgot his name! Hahaha boss ko hindi ko maalala pangalan :))

And finally, come Friday. TGIF!! The lawyers weren't in the office, they attended a seminar. So we were free. I;ve nothing to do so I asked Ms.Che if I could go to North to visit my friends (BTW, I am assigned in Central Cluster Legal Unit). Friends and I kept on laughing the whole day!!

I really love our tandem. You now, it's so nice having these friends that even if you are very very tired and you are walking under the scorching heat of the sun just to arrive to school on time, eh you can still manage to laugh even at the simplest things. Hahaha. Yehey!!!

I love going to the office. But not the fact that I have to wake up early in every day of my life. Hahaha!

Maundy Thursday

Being a Legal Management Student is no easy. There goes the recitations every meeting, the TAMBAK na readings, the accounting ek ek. Yung tipong feeling mo you're already in law school. Especially on my part, I am a shifter yet I want to graduate on time. Yes I can, kung gugustuhin ko lang. I'm an incoming senior student. I will be having my on-the-job-training 4 days from now. But I am still thinking if I shall do that on a part time and enroll at least one summer class para mabawasan ang load ko next semester. Pero I'm having second thoughts kasi a subject costs around 6-7 thousand I guess. Nakakahinayang, kasi almost 40% niyan ay miscellaneous fee. Pero hindi lang yan, kasi if I'm going to take a subject this summer, my OJT will last longer. Baka 1st sem na OJT pa din ako. Isa pa, if ever magsummer class ako, I will just be taking a Theology subject. Hahahaha. I've been weighing the pros and cons of enrolling a subject this summer and I even asked my friends' opinions. Masyado ko dinidibdib ang desisyon. Hahaha.

Anyway anyway. Today is Maundy Thursday. We didn't go home to Pampanga and I love it! Haha. I hate staying there kasi wala naman akong kausap. My cousins' ages are far far from mine. They're too old for me. Hahaha. I can't help but be excited for Monday because OJT starts. But I hate the thought that I have to wake up eaaarrrllllyyyy. Can't imagine myself. The only thing that I can imagine is that... I will always be running late for sure. Hahaha. But I guess I'd be motivated because I am looking forward for the allowance!!! HAHAHA.

Randomly random

It's been a while since I've last updated this site. The past week had been really borrriiiinnnggg. I did nothing but surf the net, watch and text. Thank God nauso ang unlimited DSL, unlimited text and cable. Shiiiiitttt. I would hae died due to boredom if not because of these inventions. Hahaha. There's this song that has been stuck in my head for like 3 days now. Friend of mine. Saktong-sakto men. I was browsing through the channels on my television one night when I happen to come across Cinema One. They were airing Close To You, a movie that was starred by my beloved John Lloyd, and Bea. The story fits me, my situation, except that in that film, it was the guy who fell in love with his best friend. Nakarelate ako, gosh! The ending of the film, as usual, was happy. Filipino film e. Hahaha. Dun ko narinig yung Friend of Mine, kaya download naman ako. Na-appreciate ko e. Bakit ba! Haha.

A while ago, I was supposed to meet my high school friends to eat out pero nagkatamaran. Re-sched!! Tomorrow is the day. How I wish hindi na magkatamaran. I've been wanting to eat pizza na talaga!
