0 Confused

I don’t know what to think. In two weeks, I have a decision to make. I’m so confused.. And this is making me feel sad..

My husband is in M already. He got a good job now. I’m here in C because I still got a job here. It has been three months since he left and I was left alone. So far, I can say we’re moving on.. Moving back to our normal life. Payday every two weeks, paying our bills, etc. Everthing’s going back to normal, I think.

Now, here’s the decision making part. My husband and I talked about me going back to M, for good. So we can be together. We’ve decided that I will be leaving C in March. Since I still have to tender 30days before the effectivity date of my resignation..

Last Friday, I had a 1 on 1 meeting w/ my manager. 3rd month performance review. We talked about how she think I did during my 1st three months on the job. It was a very interesting conversation. I learned something new from it. Well, talking to your manager, with him or her talking about or giving you feedback on your performance, is awesome for me, always. Regardless if it’s a negative or positive feedback. I got all positive feedback. Thank God! So far, my manager is happy on how I am doing with my job and she sees me as a great asset of the company. To add to this, she accelerated my probationary and that made me a regular employee. And wait, there’s more! 10% more is going to be added in my take home pay every 5th and 20th. Yeah! I was all smiles when I went out of her room..

There are lots of reasons why somebody from our company would leave. Not so good and not so good-looking office. No dependents covered in the health benefits. No I’d (yet)! And many more reasons. Of course, not to mention the salary dilemma of all employees even from other company. But despite of all these, I enjoy working on that not so good and not so good-looking office. I stays in the office for not less than 12hrs a day without noticing that it’s already past midnight. Although sometimes I feel like I’m a proposal machine, I didn’t care. Maybe because of the people around me. I am enjoying working with them.

Going back to the decision making part, I only have 2 more weeks. I pray that He will guide me in making this decision. It’s so hard to leave if something in me is trying to hold on.. I have been here in C for more than 2yrs now. And I can say, this place taught me a lot of things that definitely changed my life. C is actually my 2nd home now..

If my manager see this, please don’t be mad. God knows, I wanted to stay. I am so thankful of all the learnings I am getting. I haven’t decided yet, though. But if that day comes, that I will be giving you my letter, I will be the saddest person.. I will be weighing all things. You can be assured that whatever decision I will make, is totally heart-breaking for me.. But, I have my husband waiting for me also. He’s my family..

I hope I can get that sign…

Good night..

0 Worthless

I have been thinking what to write about this past few days. I’m always looking at my page and then end up cancelling what I started to write. Been staying in the office as well for at least 12hrs everyday to finish-up several proposals and quotes for our clients. Anyway, this time, I think this is really worth writing about.. Let me rant again, please.

B, our admin assistant told me that she haven’t processed my BIR forms. Specifically the form in which you will need to update your records. And I asked her why. She told me, that my records was not updated and processed by my previous employer, L. I felt fire in my face.

Here’s what should have happened. When I transferred here in C, L should have processed the transfer of records and my RDO #. This is to consolidate all records and to make sure that I am paying my taxes from C. But, I just learned that this did not happen. I’m so pissed that I wanted to go to their stupid office and file a complaint. Oh my god! For 2yrs that I worked with L, none of my government records where processed. In short, I do not exist in Cebu!!!

This is the same with my Pag-Ibig contributions. For 2yrs, they did not processed the transfer of records from M to C. Now, I can’t apply for a loan since this has to be processed 1st and I need to wait for freakin’ 6months after being fully processed to file for a loan.

Argh! I hate L!! I don’t care if they see this post, but I hate them to the highest level. Sometimes, I wish they’d go down but I know, in time, they will.

I pitty those employees who are still with them, thinking that they are with the best employer. No you’re not. Definitely not. I learned it the hard way and joining L is the most stupid and worst decision I made in my life!

0 The Red Crab Experience

To celebrate our 1st new year as husband and wife, we decided to check-in in one of the hotels in Manila and then have a very good dinner date. Yes, we love to eat. And yes, we do still stay in a hotel kahit na mag-asawa na kami. But don’t get me wrong, okay? I said, hotel, not motel. Ayt?

We chose the Gateway Mall in Cubao, Quezon City since it has been ages since the last pasyal namin doon. Initially, plan was to go to our favorite Burgoo. And I dragged my husband to still look for some other place.. And we saw The Red Crab Cafe.

The menu was displayed right at the cafe’s door. So we checked out the prices and it seems affordable naman. LOL. So, we got in. We were welcomed by a so-so waiter. The place is so clean. There were only a few customer that time. A couple and a family of four only, actually. We ordered Beef Rendang and Szechuan Crab. When you order the crab, you will be given the choice between a male or female crab. If you want more crab fat (aligue), I suggest go for the female crab, but if you want more meat, get the male.

The food was great. Super!! If you’re wondering how we ate the crab, they gave us “crab crackers” which we used to crack open the pincers. They also gave us something to pick the pincers with. Were we scared that the sauce might drip onto our clothes? No. Bibs were placed around us by the staff to make sure that we enjoyed our meal without the shame of crab sauce dripping all over the front of our clothes.

Don’t worry, even with the crab crackers and the metal crab picker, they do encourage you to use your hands when eating the crab. Hahaha!

When it’s time to get the tab, it was the most surprising and shocking part of our new year celebration. For a szechuan crab (male – 900g), beef rendang, 2 plain rice, 1 strawberry iced tea (bottomless) and 1 mineral water, it was shockingly Php 2,100.00++. Yes! That ‘s the price of what we ate. Haha! But even if it’s a bit expensive, it’s all worth it. No regrets. We got a new favorite restaurant. Yey! We will definetely go back and will save extra moolah before going there. LOL

Shempre lumabas pagka kuripot ko. Haha! But this was a very good experience. Another 1st with my husband.

0 6th Month

It has been years that I was begging my husband to buy me an Hermes bag. LOL. This year, on the 6th month of our marriage, he gave it to me. A wish come true!!

I was all smiles that day. It was still in it’s original box and I decided to open it when we get home. So happy, when I opened the bag, my favorite perfume is inside it!

So, who’s happy last Christmas?! I soo love my husband. LOL

0 Vacation's Over

Been here in Manila for a 10-day vacation. Days to celebrate Christmas and New Year with my family. It was a blast and I am so happy. This is my 1st Christmas and 1st New Year as a wife. I loved it and I was so excited.

This season is also the time I started to be a Cityville addict. Oh, I forgot to mention, I get my internet connection from my neighbor. Free wi-fi baby!! With 2 bars of signal strength, this is enough for me to downloads my work emails and surf the net. Woohoo!

I also met my elementary friends. We held our 1st official reunion and it was really fun. ‘Twas so nice to see them again. Some I was not able to recognize as 1st. But what the heck, we we’re all having fun. We all love to laugh. And that’s what’s important to me. If we can laugh at small things together, then I can have fun with them. LOL. We we’re all cam whore that’s another reason why I enjoyed it. Walang maarte – in short.

This Christmas and New Year is special to me. Had so much pains and tears on the last quarter of 2010 and this vacation made me pick up myself again.. This time, me and hubby already decided that I go back here in Manila and focus on having a baby. Yes! It’s time. We want a little angel in our life. I hope He will hear our prayers..

Sorry for not updating my blog lately. I guess I just enjoyed my vacation too much. I will post pictures soon. Though the title of this entry seems to be sad, I am happy. It is nice to start the new decade with all these new happenings in my life. Bring it on 2011!!
