Tired. Confused. Depressed.

Grabe first week of training. Didn't expect it to be this tiring. Normally, pag sinabing training, they'll really prepare and equipt you to handle all sorts of cases in your work. They'll really let you understand what the hell is happening in the company, your department, etc. Sinabi sa amin na first and second week of training's gonna be really difficult and requires time management. Well, I didn't expect it to be really hell...

1st day, binigyan kami ng books / manuals na kailangan daw. Akala namin for the whole training period pero putcha, 1 manual for at least one day this week! 1st book/manual kailangan na raw the next day kasi may finals daw bukas. Putik napamura ako sa utak ko... oh well, no tv, no computer, no rest pag-uwi ko after nine hours in the office... Sa dami noon, hindi ko talaga natapos yung first manual.... natakot ako kasi sinabi na 3 failed tests, tanggal ka na... well, at least resign naman...

Pagdating ko sa office noong second day, mga kasama ko hindi rin pala nila natapos... buti nalang sa dami ng ginawa, nung second day, minove yung exam to the third day... more time to study... pero sabay ng 1st finals ng 1st topic, may HW, reporting daw, malaking part ng grade ng networking part (2nd topic)... so we need to read certain chapters of the second book, sabay ng first book... I didn't mind it kasi nagfocus nalang ako sa first exam, siyempre, finals kasi... so uwi ako, aral ng todo for the first. akala ko okay na kasi talagang nakapag-aral ako. Putcha third day...

Pag dating sa office, some lessons on networking first then came the finals. Everyone thought they were ready... until the exam... Tangina ang hirap!!! First page, 2 out of 5 questions masagot ko... next page 1 nalang, tapos isang buong page di ko na talaga masagot... tinanggal ko bigla jacket ko dahil biglang uminit... shet... one exam down, two more til im gone... well, lahat pala kami nahirapan sobra... dami ko ng mali pagkatapos ng exam noong nagtatanungan na mga tao... Shiiiiiit! noong dinner break ko naisip na 1st exam pa lang ito... mas mahirap pa nga raw yung mga certification exams at mga susunod... after break, went back to training... itinuro yung next lesson... pagkatapos ng 2nd day... finals na raw uli bukas, networking part... e wala pa akong nabasa... wala na naman akong pahinga pag uwi ko...

Fouth day... ulit, hindi ko nanaman natapos yung book, finals na raw mamaya. Well, few reports started first before the exam since we were assigned a chapter each at hindi natapos kahapon...

grabe rin reporting... hindi ko maintindihan dahil either skiniskim through lang ng mga tao dahil kinakabahan magreport o hindi talaga maintindihan ng taong nagrereport o nahihirapan sila magconverse in english.... akala ko ieexplain pa ng trainer ang lesson pero same, skinim through uli niya... putcha, late na talaga ako sa lesson at di ko maintindihan yung iba kasi wala talaga akong background sa lesson hindi katulad ng mga ibang kasama ko... noong tinanong ko naman yung HR dati sabi nila kaya ng taong may konting background na intindihan lahat yon... well, sobrang hirap at hindi ko na talaga alam... masisiraan na ako... well, again, minove ng isang araw yung finals til friday / fifth day.... certification exam din dapat yon... sabay... buti nalang in-announce na imomove din cert exam ng monday...

Fifth Day... nagstart yung 2nd finals kaagad... as usual, hindi itinuro yung nasa finals... tangina... 2 finals down na kaya ito, one more to go... lahat kami, hindi namin alam kung paano at ano gagawin.. pati kaibigan ko na may background na sa lesson hindi alam... after the exam, tuloy tuloy, next lesson na... akala ko nga makakapagpahinga ako ng weekend at mag-aral nalang para sa 1 certificatione exam pero third day lesson came and daming gagawin na HW, sabay ng isa pang exam sa monday... tuloy, naudlot gimmick ko with my HS barkada... last gimmick na kumpleto sana kami (for saturday lunch and afternoon)... kasi aalis dalawa sa amin for work, etc at baka xmas na uuwi... well, hanggang lunch lang tuloy ako.... kailangan ko bumalik ng office after to get work done... hayyyy....

Well, to make things clear, I expected things to be hard... kakayanin ko talaga... wala kong reklamo na wala kong alam kasi kakayanin ko... i can work really hard... pero for it to be this fast na wala talaga akong experience sa simula at per day ang exam at dinadaanan lang ng mabilis... putcha... stressed out na talaga ako at hindi ko na talaga alam... napapaisip tuloy ako kung ito talaga para sa akin... ok lang kahit first time na matututo, ok lang na night shift... pero to be this fast for someone talagang nagstart lang, hay naku.... di ko na talaga alam... hard to talk to people at home... i dunno... having difficult keeping it to myself...

if you know me, i don't give up that easily... laban ng laban hanggang dulo... guess that's what im gonna do... hanggang kaya... pero minsan di ko alam... napapatanong ako kung masaya pa ako sa ginagawa ko... takot nga ako baka tumumba nalang ako isang araw... dunno who to talk to regarding what i should do.... so confused... depressed also dahil sa expectations at home...

...bahala na....

1st Week Training

Grabe first week of training... sobrang nakakapagod...

Tueday
Nag-half day lang ako sa training coz I had to take three tests in the afternoon with another company. Sobra kong malas noong araw na iyon kasi paglabas ko ng office, sabay bumuhos yung ulan, traffic sobra, di ko mainit pagkain ko, etc. Buti nalang maaga ako dumating at may extra clothes ako para sa exam. Suwerte rin kasi pinasa ko lahat ng exams... well, di pala sobrang malas... pero mga 730pm na natapos lahat kaya pag-uwi ko, tumba nalang sa kama sa pagod.

Wednesday
I woke up early that day and was well rested. Lecture sa umaga, exercise sa hapon. Sobrang haba ng exercise sa hapon na ang tagal namin lahat sa office. Umabot ako ng 12 hours (8:15am - 8:10pm). Kahit nakakapagod, masaya rin kasi natapos ko yung mga kailangan bago ako umuwi kaya di ko na kailangan pumunta ng maaga sa susunod na araw. Actually had fun din... kahit programming... hmmm...

Thursday
6:30am... (Cell rings, conversation not exact)
Martin (boses ng bagong gising) Hellooooo...
Caller: Hi! Good Morning! Is this Martin MML?
Martin: (boses ng bagong gising) Yes...
Caller: Hi! I'm from ..... Do you know that you have an interview this morning at 7am?
Martin: (gulat) No, HR scheduled the interview tomorrow at 7am not today.
Caller: Well, your interview has been moved, can we just have you at 9pm today.
Martin: (hindi pag nagreregister sa utak).......
Caller: This is regarding your application for ____, sir.
Martin: (pagkatapos magregister sa utak) Oh okay... sure...
Caller: Just look for ____, so we'll be seeing you Martin.
Martin: ok, thank you

Inis... hindi na ako makatulog, naligo nalang ako at dumiretso sa training office. As usual, java lecture sa umaga, exercise sa hapon.... uli, ang hirap ng exercise at umabot kami ng 11hrs sa office... at dahil minove interview ko, dumiretso na ako sa libis ng hindi pa kumakain... natapos lahat mga 10pm.... grabe, sobra na akong nahilo...

Friday
Another day... determined naman na umuwi ng maaga ngayong araw... sana..

Busy na...

Today's my last free weekday until my 6-week training is over... no more hanging out with Enzo and Jeoffrey pag afternoon, no more couch "mamon" (sabi ng kaibigan ko), no more warcraft, etc. Haaay... busy na... back to all the stress... malas ko pa kasi kung kelan 1st training day ko, tiyaka pa ako tinawagan ng company na gusto ko para mag-1st exam....

haha nice one (as jeff would say)... 1st training day pa lang mag-aabsent na ako (well, half day lang naman but still)... gotta think of a way to get to Libis from Ortigas... kinakabahan din ako kasi ito na yung company na gusto ko if ever... sana pumasa ako... pagdadasal ko talaga ito... kakatakot kasi may technical/IT questions din daw ang test... oh well, bahala na... sana talaga makapasok na ako sa company na yon... gusto ko na rin magtrabaho...

good luck din pala sa kaingin!!! good luck sa pag-recruit! good luck sa orsem!

go fren! 1st project! kaya niyo yan!!!

Blog Day / Bad Hair Day

Just spent my whole day doing chores, fixing my blog, designing stuff and understanding the HTML in the templates page... still can't get a few things like how to change the background of the side bar (on the right)... labo kasi... sobrang gusto kong palitan kasi ang simple simple... anyway, sakit na ng ulo ko... ayoko na... can wait another day... warcraft nalang muna ako uli pagkatapos nitong entry...

Naiinis na rin ako sa buhok ko, gusto ko na magbench fix uli kasi ang haba na... Naiirita ako palagi pag tumama sa tenga ko... Also, mom keeps on bugging me to change my hair color again (darker brown naman daw... trian - tae brown?). Tiyaka nalang pag may trabaho na ko... gupit nalang muna... my hair's still bright as before (lalo na pag may inilawan)... haha!

Finally! May Blog na rin ako!

Sa wakas, nakagawa na rin ako ng blog! Bwisit kasi yung kumuha ng nickname na mamon, wala pang laman yung site niya... Anyway, still trying to learn how to use this... under construction pa... hehe

What's New...
==========
- Signed a Training Contract with a company, they're going to train me
starting next week kaya busy na ako...

- Yesterday, I watched Omen, a horror flick, thanks to Jeoffrey and Enzo
(matakutin kasi ako at hindi ako nanonood ng horror). Found it not scary
and we kept on laughing at Julia Stiles at kung paano siya kinawawa sa film. Nakakagulat lang yung Omen dahil sa sounds niya... (My contract actually flew to Jeoffrey sa isang scene dahil nagulat ako sa sounds.... haha)

- I finished One Tree Hill Season 3!!! Can't Wait for Season 4! (Thank God may Season 4)

- Stuck at Home today with nothing to do...

- Wala na kong pera!!! Sana magkatrabaho na ko...
