Season Two
Thursday, August 24th, 2006Season Two. A new beginning.
Last week, right after i closed the first chapter of my blogs, a lot of things happened. At work, I received an executive complaint from one of the card members of American Express. The guys at Greensboro emailed the management here in Makati. Presto, all my hopes for a promotion were all gone. Sobra akong devastated. Hindi na ako sigurado kung mase-certify pa ako. The Operations Manager didn’t want me to step out of training. From being one of the batch’s topnotcher, bigla akong naging notorious pasaway sa mata ng mga big boss. Wicked twist of fate talaga ang nangyari.
Pero hindi ako nagpatalo. Kinabukasan, nagsindi ako ng isang yosi, pangtanggal ng tensyon. Pagka-ubos ng isang stick, matapang na ulit ako. Pinagbuti ko ang trabaho. ‘Di ako nagpaapekto kahit pakiramdam ko ay mainit sa akin ang management. By the end of the week, I met all the qualifications to pass the training. All i had to do was wait for the results of the deliberation. And the wait was worth the while! The people I trusted - my trainor, my coaches, who never stopped believing in me - ipinagtanggol nila ako sa management. Ang ending, I got certified. Finally, i felt vindicated.
Okay, so I did lit up a cigarette. I’m sorry. It was needed at that moment. Minsan, napipilitan kang gawin ang isang bagay na ayaw mo at alam mong mali, para mairaos ang lungkot at sama ng loob. Kagaya lang yan ng pag-inom ng alak, kahit ‘di ka naman lasenggo. Kagaya rin yan ng one night stand, kahit loyal ka sa partner mo. (Hehehe, kelangan talaga na dalawa pa ang analogy para lang i-defend ang point).
O, eto na ang pinaka-matinding highlight ng nakaraang linggo, at pinaka-exciting na bungad sa pilot blog ng Season Two. Real and I were commissioned to write the script for an indie film to be directed by Neil Daza. Basol ang working title. Wala pang finality ang lahat, pero tinatapos na namin ni Yay ang storyline. ‘Pag nagustuhan ng producer at ng direktor, all set na.
Life is such a roller coaster. Daming ups and down!
